Product Details

These stepped dowel pins from Edelbrock are specifically made for 1966-1969 AMC V8 engines. They're designed to help you install later-style cylinder heads, including Edelbrock's own Performer and RPM heads (models 60109, 60119, 60129, and 60139), onto earlier AMC blocks. This kit ensures a proper alignment and secure fit when you're upgrading your engine's top end.

Each kit comes with four stepped dowel pins. This design is crucial for bridging the difference between early and late head bolt patterns or block configurations, making sure your new heads sit perfectly flush and seal correctly. It's a small but important piece of the puzzle when you're rebuilding or modifying your AMC V8, ensuring the integrity of your cylinder head installation.
