Sorry for such a long post, but couldn't help it, once I got started. If you care to read, I do ask some questions that I hope to have some help answering....
Good read... I think I would work on getting the engine fixed up. Keep the original of course and maybe get a new crank for it. While the engine is out work...
My 68 conv. wiper motor was "rigged" when I got it, and used a toggle switch to turn on. Only one speed was working. I must have set off the "wiper hide"...
Is the control arm making good contact to the motor? On my 69 motor, I remember that if these two pieces weren't making good contact, the wipers would not...
As far as I can tell the control arm seems to be tightly attached. I've figured out the wiring (I think...) but I'm still guessing about what triggers the...
i just installed a new steering wheel and a new turn signal switch in my '69. everything works fine but if i put the headlights on, the the flasher indicators...
It's likely a dreaded ground wire problem. That can cause some funky things to happen. ... -- Check out my webpage at http://www.ProStreetCar.com TREMEC...
I have a '73 Chevelle, and I bought a nice used 10-bolt 8.5" Posi rear-end last fall that came out of a 73-77 Monte Carlo. The posi unit is in excellent...
Sorry I can't help Jeff, and the list has been pretty dead lately. I'd like to know the answer to your question also because I want to DOWN from my 3.55 Posi...
Anybody have a good Deal on a 12 bolt Posi (possibly w/ .373 gear) that they have no use for and want to get rid of? I have a 67 Conv. Thanks Matt ... Do you...
Matt, Great ratio, as I have one in my '66. Best advice if you have a 10 bolt diff now is take it to a differential shop and have it built with a 3.73 ring &...
Jeff, Sorry not that familier with '73 to '77 diff's however kinda think its possible will check with our diff guy on monday as I'm in the vette busness, and...
OK, my Dad and I have a '71 Chevelle with a '74 Elcamino 454 in it. I pulled the right side valve cover off because it sounded like the valves needed ...
Peter, 4 spd Chevelles had a higher ratio for mainly performance and easier to drive, as a 3.08 would be more difficult to drive specially on any type of...
Randy, Possible, but really sounds a bit more serious, as a one cylinder only deal. Check the rocker studs and if they are pulling out which will not let you...
is it possible to swap a possi 8.5 carrier assy. to replace a 8.2 the 8.5 is from a 80 z28 i want to see if i can use this diff assy. for my 69 chevelle...
Ryan, thanks for the advice, I'm still learning. I love how easy the car is to start, especially living in East TN where there's no such thing as a flat (or...
There still seems to be a trick to getting the wiper and washer working together, but after completely disassembling the wiper motor and washer, refurbishing...
i'm in the process of restoring the steering assembly on my 69 beaumont. i just installed a new wood grant wheel and changed the turn signal switch. now i want...
Peter, Yep, the late model Camaro and Corvette equiped with 6 speeds have the best of both worlds. With higher ratios in the lower gears and going into a...
Agree, if the rocker studs are the same height as the rest, for sure the cam has gone south. Big blocks unfortunatly some have a habit of eating cams, poor...
Tom, If your '69 still has the original steering box it must steer like a tank, as power steering cars have a quicker ratio. Really sounds like the idler arm...
Well, I haven't gotten back to it yet, but I thank you for the suggestions. A friend of mine also told me I may need a valve job in this motor, so right now...
Randy, Sorry, I must be brain dead, a compression check will tell the tail if the valves are bent in that cylinder vs other cylinders. Must say pulling the...
That's cool, I remember how heavy they were when I had the motor apart a few years ago. Trying to wrestle them around by myself wasn't a very good idea, plus...
Randy, I really hope its a cam deal. Pulling the stuff off the top and front of the engine, radiator and grille is a no brainer, sorry you gotta drop the oil...
Well Ryan, You guessed it, it is a Cam, I pulled the intake off of it today since I had the day off, and there it was staring me in the face flat spots on...
