I would say I would do it, but it would be a lie. I know it would end up shoved off to one side of my workbench next to a pencil and a pad of graph paper and I would keep meaning to do something with it but would never find the time....

Ramchargers were from the 80's. The vehicle I saw it in was a state of Tennessee vehicle. 4X2. |

Just got home from PicknPull in Chico. 77 Aspen had factory heat shield, with a fresh carb for my 77 Aspen. I snagged them both. The heat shield can go to whoever will do the right thing with it. Let me know. Bruce |

If nobody else steps up with intent and means to create a pattern for the heat shield, I'll do it. |

Well, I can create a vector file of it and make it available for download, so if shipping it to Canada is not too high, I'm interested.Quote: If nobody else steps up with intent and means to create a pattern for the heat shield, I'll do it. Dan, with your knowledge you might do a better job than me (like maybe creating a 2 barrel version like Reed suggested). What do you think?Quote: I have one at home. I could trace it and send it in, problem is, I dont have a scaner big enough... You can try scanning it in parts, with enough overlapping and some registration marks, I should be able to trace a full size template.(Laying a ruler on the scanner for reference will also help). Good friend of mine is building a CNC machine. I hope he will be willing to cut a few shields out of an aluminum plate.

I have the factory two piece type off a 1981 truck. I also have made one for a two bbl carb that seems to work well. I do not have the means to copy or fax these but I would be willing to mail them to some one that can copy them. The down side is I would like them back. |

Send your heatshield to Agressive Ted. The one I had seems to have disappeared. |

Not to get side tracked, but were there ever a heat shield for the Super Six, or would it be of much benefit? Also to toss this out there, I have a friend with a couple CNC machines, so maybe he'd be interested in doing a small run as well. |

"Need them back" is not an impediment as far as I'm concerned. 2bbl version is yes. |

I made a full size pdf of a template created from the photos. I'd gladly post it here if someone would tell me how. Don't know how to post a pdf. |

Is that to say that there was a factory heat shield for 2bbl slant sixes? Do you have a picture of one or can describe how they vary from the 1bbl shields?

Guys, I need an email address if you want a copy of the template. It is in pdf format. Or, better yet, if a moderator could post it for anyway to get--that would be more efficient. |
