Dampener (Torsional Vibration Dampener/Harmonic Balancer)
That should be correct for the 12:00 position pointer. I think I put a dorman on my 79’s 350. Think my 76 has an ATP Graywerks balance. Both seem ok.- legopnuematic

Dampener (Torsional Vibration Dampener/Harmonic Balancer)
GM changed the location of the timing pointer a couple of times over the years. My 76 has the “normal” 2 o clock position for the timing tab, whereas my 79 has it at 12 o clock, and must shoot the timing gun behind the water pump. Any can be used as long as it has the appropriate timing cover...- legopnuematic

Jack ideas?

Mandrel exhaust shop
I didn’t see it mentioned so I’ll throw it out there. The advantage of mandrel bent over crush bent or other bends is when doing fabricating, if you cut a mandrel bend square to the center point of the bend, you get an almost perfect circle. You can take that cut and mate it to another mandrel...- legopnuematic

Door lock stays stuck
My 76 is the same way, I’ve come to accept it and consider it a marginal extra security “feature”- legopnuematic

Intake plenum gaskets
That summit link you shared is a heat riser gasket for a GM inline six (goes between the intake and exhaust manifold). That does not fit and has no place on a small block Chevy.- legopnuematic

Which headers to buy?
Should be no difference between small block ports/flanges. I would go with searching for a 76 K10, I know over the years with various transmission and transfer cases and emissions equipment that crossmembers changed. This generally changes where the headers hang and exit.- legopnuematic

Drivers side cowl rust repair
Yes lots of spot welds, and old seam sealer. Propane torch and a wire wheel in a drill along the seams works well to show where the spot welds are to drill them.- legopnuematic

Undertightened cork gasket on TH350 and whole thing flooded, clean and reuse?
I’ve gone to using LubeLockers on my transmission pans and diff covers and so far I like them. More costly than other gaskets but they are reusable and made in the USA.- legopnuematic

Header Gaskets
Remflex is what I will be putting on my 76, have a remflex manifold gasket on my slant six in the dart and it sealed things up tight. Only issue with them is being graphite they are fragile, for the long slender slant six gasket it took 4 tries to get one not broken in half. My 76 previously...- legopnuematic
