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 figure I might try to document the conversion of the 65 Laurentian, from power glide to a 4 speed Muncie M20. I'll ad that Carl Stevenson has been a invaluable resource on this conversion, and has helped me out immensely. thanks Carl! And be sure to check out Dave's conversion post sticky as well. I'll...

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...

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...

Detailing on my 427 yesterday and I remembered I'd had an issue with the water pump pulley reinforcement not fitting the inside of the pulley. The reinforcement would drop down inside the pulley where it should go ( it sits up against the water pump hub, then the pulley goes on) but there was about .030"...

Never too old to learn. Today I decided to work on getting a spare starter for a big block (or manual trans small block with 11" flywheel) with the cast iron nose. I purchased a nose with the fork recently. I had a couple of used starters here with the aluminum nose, so simple enough, just swap the iron no...

Many of you may know that our 60's GM's had some special starter bolts for the starters that had a cast iron nose. I believe this nose was used exclusively on big blocks and/or small blocks with the 11" clutch (168 tooth flywheel) The original GM number is 3733289 for this bolt and it's not just a plain 3/8...

I am swapping out a 283 and installing a 0.030 over 402 BBC in my 65 Parisienne. Would the optimum be factory rubber style or aftermarket poly? What parts have others used with success? It will be attached to the original PG (after a redo) or possibly a TH350 if finances allow.

So, I am looking through the Canadian GM parts manual and I come across a phrase that I'm scratching my head over. Next to the power steering pulley part number it reads: "1969/ALL WITH 396-427 ENGINES T/W FIELD INSTALLED CAR COOLING." What is considered 'car cooling'? In other pulley applications,...

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...

So I have the 4 bolt block, 858 square port heads, 6223 crank, dimple rods and factory 069 intake. What I have to figure out is what pistons , cam and lifters to go with? Obviously cant go with the factory specs solid lifters and high dome pistons have to be able to drive this thing on todays gas

The 327 is needing it's first oil change. Still has the Lucas break in high zinc oil in it, along with half a bottle of Comp break in additive. I took no chances on the cam break in, and it appears to have worked just fine. I have a high volume oil pump, no bypass filter adapter, and will always run a no bypass...
