I hope you jumped on GT182's kind offer, Socrates. That's a steal. I have posted several times on this subject. I used the aftermarket parts, and they worked, sort of, but I wish I had waited and...

PY member Sammy B good guy....

Bought a set of air conditioning parts from him. Great stuff. Was in the parts for sale section.

Took me a while to get this posted, I'm just now getting the stuff out of the boxes.

Thanks...

I've got the 235 70 15's on the back, 225 70 15's on the front, and there's tons of room. I don't have it lowered, but I like the look a lot. What I'm thinking of doing is moving the 235's to the...

'69 chevelle 12 bolt rear end..

into a '67 LeMans ? It's a 3:55, just about right for me. Will it bolt right in, with maybe a new -joint ? Will I have to get the driveshaft shortened ? Any thoughts ? There's one close to me I...

I've glued up a lot of veneer over the years. There's a ton of places you can buy veneer online. You gotta strip down to bare metal. You'll never get a clean, tight job if you don't start with a...

Got it out. Didn't have any beeswax, so I tried the heat and WD-40 method. Took three applications over two weekends, but it worked.

I cut a small piece of wood to hold the valve up. I got the retainer and spring off, but the valve is still stuck. I've tapped it about as hard as I want to.
I'll just keep soaking it all week,...

Really stuck valve.......

I don't think these 670 heads have ever been touched. The other 7 valves were a little sticky, but generally popped right off. But this last one is frozen. It's a pretty stout tool I got, and I'm...

More or Less LSA

Well, I do like the idea of some lope at idle. With the M-21, I'm feathering the throttle anyway. I'm thinking I want to make all my power in the mid range, as I don't have that many chances to run...

Crower # 60210, 60211

Is anyone running either of these cams ? Lots of lift, lots of duration, with a tight lobe separation. I'm thinking these would make the most power in the mid rpm ranges, which would work well for...

I suppose your '79 is a bit different than my '67 Lemans, but I'm pretty sure you have to have the heater box all the way off to replace the core. When I re-assembled mine, I used some weather...
