I have a 1969 Pontiac Grande Parisienne 4door 427 V8 335 hp , but it has dual exhaust. It is original and my grandfather bought it in 1969 from Roy Pett GM in Lindsay Ontario. It has never seen a Canadian winter. It went to Florida until 1981. Stored for 28 years it looks a little rough but it is all there. A li...

Tonight I went on a mission. I'm trying to sort out what bench seat shifter handles fit what cars, and what each one looks like. Quite a bit of info online but from what I can tell, LOTS of wrong info on this topic, so I dug into the limited resources I have. From what I can find, from 64-67 Canadian Pontiacs...

Question; Can one change a SBC 2 piece seal with the engine in place, in a 65 B Body? I have just detected a small drip in the 65. Don't think its the pan. If it stays this small I'll not worry too much. Second, Will this wee drip eventually foul my clutch?

So installed new diff. On removing driveshaft, the uni at the diff was tight. Removed and has strange wear patterns. How do you adjust the pinion angle on the 65s when they have a 4 link rear?? Cheers

Was there ever such a thing as a 3.23 ring and pinion for a 8.875" 12 bolt? The reason I ask, is in my thinking, it would be a great on road compromise ratio for a big car with a M20. And I'll be building a 4 leg 12 bolt for my 65 and already have an good open 3.08 carrier. My current 10 bolt has a 3.36 since it was a s...

I decided after having some issues with the plugs fouling in cylinders 5,8 and a bit of a choppy idle i would have the heads pulled as the engine has never been touched.

the diff breather for the diff I am putting in, seems to have come out and disappeared, never to be seen again. Any suggestions on what I could use? I could always use the one out of the diff which is in the car at the moment, but prefer not to. Cheers all!

Ready to move into finishing the cooling on the 65. I had mocked up the aluminum rad on the large 67 spacer, and the fan sits really close to the rad. Close in like just a little bit better than 1/4" Might be able to gain a little more when everything gets bolted in. Still have to add tabs to the spacer to accom...

On a 65 CP 327 300HP V8, where and how would the tips exit if they extended all the way to the back? Would they look and be positioned similar to the 65 Impala seen below, less resonators? The pipes I have kind of exit a little way back from the WW opening. Stealthy. It might grow on me leaving them this way (o...
