I have heard that Vintage Automotive Research does a good job. You can reach them at (954)755-1161.

Another option is Fred Oliva. He advertises in the Driveline. Page 15 in the Sept-Oct issue.

Re: Fred Oliva = Vintage Automotive Research
The GM replacement (P/N 3916141) is still available, and is almost identical to the original.Comment

Re: Fred Oliva = Vintage Automotive Research
--------Back in 1998/9 I had my original done over by Fred and while it looks good and scores perfectly it does nowhere near as good a job pulling air as a new GM replacement. Therefore it has become a high-point show piece that hangs on the wall. I have no problem with Fred as he is a nice guy, but the redone in my case just doesnt compare............Bill SComment

Re: Fred Oliva = Vintage Automotive Research
Fred said the original fully engages at about 180 degrees and the after market ones engage at about 210 hence the car starts running hot. Has anyone replaced theirs with the GM replacement and does it work fine?Comment

Is this original
Here is my original, I thought it had never been changed. Is it correct for a 65 327/350?
