I am in the process of rebuilding my 327,and have been having difficulty finding a clearance specification for between the valves and cylinder head. I placed a the head with gasket and placed some putty between the head and valves and found i have .12 clearance on the intake valve and .21 on the exhaust valve.I was hoping someone out there may know what what it should be. Thanks mike

just checking in. I have new pictures of my progress, last weekend I got my wheels back from florence prison where i had them powder coated, they did a beautiful job but it took a little over a month and a half. Now that the front end i back on the ground i was able to install the fresh 327. Hopping to have this on the road and ready to drive to laughlin by November. This website has been great i bought this car in pieces and without the information here i would be lost, thanks

If you have the Electromatic, unless someone posts better there are a few photos showing those tubes in the the clutch and electromatic training manual

Not much in the manuals for vacuum pump and wipers. A few views in service & parts manuals showing snippets which might help. You can get a fairly decent idea though -- and on the dist advance tube as well. Complete info showing the entire lengths at one time will probably have to rely on new photos.

This may help a bit. It does show the wiper motor and hoses.
