No need for sorry. I just want to help where I can. Knowing what you have will help you keep the car in good shape. The 394 was the last of the original Rockets. It was an exceptional engine. If you look at the standard production engines from the other GM devisions for 1964 you will find that it made more power than the Caddy 390, Buick 425 and Pontiac 389 unless they had multi-carb setups. The standard Chevy 409 was good for 340HP. The 394 never gets the recognition it should.

Your car is very nice. I love it. The dark green lovely. You have very good taste in cars.
