STICKY:
67 and older 4 speed shifter restoration
(Preview)
I've decided to make an attempt at "tightening up" an original shifter for my 66. This is the same shifter body that was used in Canadian Pontiacs, Beaumonts, Acadians, numerous Chevrolets and I think maybe some Buicks prior to 1967. I have it all disassembled and need to order some parts for it. Fo...

Removal and rebuild of the 8.875" 12 bolt.
(

(Preview)
It can be smooth when the bolts turn like new. Even the lines came undone. No rust. Drivers side needed the Vice Grip, but only just (because I wasn't willing to wait for the PB Blaster to work). But I'm sort of worried about the flex line to main chassis line. Cracked it open and pulled the axles. They hav...

I've thought it might of of interest to document my TH400 build, hopefully sparking some discussion around of what is best. Like my rear end build, the transmission was originally one of those things "Black art" and best thought as being left to the pro's. I have had very good success with my 12 bolt bui...

Hearing a rattle...hmm.
(Preview)
On the 65 over the last while, when I've been out driving on the highway at any length of time, at, say 2300 RPM sustained, a rattle at the back starts. Starts quiet, not constant then becomes louder and all the time. Sounds like it's near the right rear tire. Travels right through the body and it's alarmi...

GM Big Block PCV Hose Still Available New
(

(Preview)
Every so often an oddball little part is still available from GM for our old cars. This is one of them. I ordered it last week because I didn't like a piece of straight bulk PCV hose, it takes too big an area to get from the carb to the PCV valve in the left valve cover. This hose, as you can see, has a nice molded...
