Electric cooling fan find.

New Muncie
(Preview)
Finally started to work towards installation of the new Autogear M 20. I installed my original shifter to make sure it fits. Needed shims behind the shifter plate 3/16ths. Everything then worked the same as previously.

A/C Question
(Preview)
I need to know if the A/C cooler from a 70 Bonneville will fit into a 70 GTO. The rad supports are different, but they may use the same brackets? Also is there a place in Canada that carries A/C coolers or lines if it won't fit? Thanks

Anyone recognize this air cleaner
(Preview)
Here is a shot of the engine bay of "Project Beaumont El Camino". Can anyone ID that air cleaner? It looks like some of your BBC's but it has a chrome lid, no flappers on the spouts either.

350 ram conversion
(Preview)
I have the chance to buy a Ram-Jet 350 former crate engine with about 70K on it. It seems this particular block is supposed to be a relatively easy switch to older cars, literally drop it in and turn the key. Has anyone done or heard of one of these conversions? Any specific issues to look for? Thanks

I been wondering about this apparitus, located on the driver side inner fender well, since I bought my car. I can see that it's not hooked up to a vacuum source. Is it an old style pump of some sort or maybe cruise control ???
