For those who wonder or care, The long BB pump fits in the 67 B body no problem. With all the talk of the lack of clearance and the need for e-fans, I really wondered. Was the rad support even in the right spot? No idea, but I knew I wanted nothing the to do with the short pump, as it seems to not be really supp...

Last year I purchased the new pump from Parts Source with the very knowledgeable counter guy just grabbing one off the shelf. After I bolted it on, I discovered one difference. The original casting had the power steering brack...

My 68 Grande Parisienne is the June feature car and now I have a valve train issue that happened Sunday on the Winnipeg perimeter by pass. How ironic is that?

Hey guys, Would anyone happen to have a 12 bolt yoke off car that they could measure the height of for me? I have a 1350 yoke that I'm going to use to replace the 1310 part on my diff. But before I do this, I'd like to order a new driveshaft. I'll run with the one I have until I get the new shaft, and if I can measu...

Guys, I'm hoping to upgrade my driveshaft during the BB conversion. Is there anywhere local to me (GTA) that you could recommend for a new one? I'll have the old one to measure. Is this a part I'm better off ordering from a top name? I'm thinking of just a good DOM chromoly piece, Also, can I get a universal...

Hi guys, My car is still in storage and I can't get to it for another week or two. I have an opportunity to pick up a mini high torque starter for a "screaming" deal, but it's got the straight across bolt pattern and I have a suspicion my 396 is the staggered bolt pattern. Anybody know definitively what patt...

I picked up a good small journal 327 block and crank. It's missing the pistons and rods. I have a set of good large journal rods. My question is, are there special oversized bearings out there to adapt these rods to the smaller crank. If so has anyone tried this with good luck.

There has been questions as to whether the harmonic balancer has shifted and giving inaccurate readings. Is there a technique or tool for checking TDC without removing the cylinder heads?
