I'm confused? Is this like the 8 plug 2.3's or something? Never seen a flathead like this. Ancient MSD?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Yea the originals ones are pretty rare just because they're impossible to remove from the engine block cause the heads bonded to the block after too many neglected years. Basically the Holy Grail of rare parts.
That's not the only company back in the day that made dual spark heads! Studebaker, Offenhauser, Elco, Eddie Meyer, Baron, Robert Roof, Nash, and Andrews.

Any more pics of the corvette with the Brodix valve covers? That is a badass car. It has a 555" with a Doug Nash 5 speed. It runs 9's and he has driven the car all the way from TX to NC and back. Also, do you have any pics of a black 88 GT with a 347 in it? My dad had it down there yesterday.sigpic
