Hey there, my Parisienne is dripping oil from the plug (at least), went to one of the shops, they said they torqued it but it doesn't seem to be true. Does anyone know what should be the torque so I'd do it myself and don't destroy the thread?

Looking for a recommended brand and size of aluminum rad that would fit my 65 without too much modifying. Preferably one that would bolt in as original and adequate to cool a basic SB 350.

Hey there, just finally depleted my first full tank on my Parisienne and it raised a question - is 43 l/100km normal fuel economy for the car? No burnouts, just slow cruises, however the car was shipped with trucks and trains and i don't know what they were doing there. Also which gas are people use nowad...

Time for an oil change on the 350. No need to be fancy with this one. I'd just want the can to be like I remember them, not short. Simply, what's your go to oil filter these days on a SBC?

So after getting the 69 350 to run well without that infamous timed miss after a carb rebuild, another issue cropped up. The Gas pedal began to get really stiff and notchy. It became like a on off switch. No fun at all to drive the car, in fact pretty much undrivable. I also ended up with a strange issue. The...

If you have a intermittent miss you can't track down on your 350 with a 2GV. It could very well be a vac. leak at the carb throttle shaft. Yes, we didn't listen to you guys. I've got my 350 sorted well now. Runs nice after three carb benching's and a good setup. No mis. I'm expert good at these now, I was kind of...

Hi guys, I'm getting close to getting my 68 2+2 back on the road, after almost 2 years. I was going through the engine bay and painting odd parts.

So those of you who know me know my passion and know my dislike for that big wide brake pedal that takes up the whole space where there's actually room for two smaller pedals. I'm not done putting the rear window back in my car but I'm on hold until I get some pinchweld primer for that job. Rather than sit on t...

Looks like ethanol has struck and my Rochester 2GV carb on the 69 is suddenly flooding internally. I'm taking a good early guess and thinking the needle neoprene has been ate. Wondering if there is anywhere that has just the needle and seat? Or.. Someone that has just a spare needle? I know there are c...

The way this sounded it may have been a lot worse gone wrong. That bolt screeched and clanged until it made its way out, probably, by the gap between the starter and the cover.

Does anyone know? My best guess for more power to the back tires is to use the pulleys from a 67 Camaro 302? Anyone here played the pulley game? Is there a site that gives specs for all the different pulleys used over the years?

Looks like when my repaired arm let the AC pump fall, it damaged the power steering pump reservoir. I have the other 427 pump and my spare 350 pump. To buy a replacement they list small block and big blocks separate. Other than the brackets, I can't tell the difference. What is the difference? Thanks in a...

My apologies to Kevin for totally derailing his disc brake thread and turning it into a discussion on big block exhaust manifolds. I'll move that part of the discussion in that thread to this thread.
