Are the rear lower control arms the same on a 65 as a 67? Reason I ask, is I'd like to detail and put 4 arms together pre conversion for a 12 bolt. I'd like to do a 12 4 arm to replace the weak and worn 10 bolt 3 leg (and both are loose!!) I have a pair of nice 67's lowers from our good member Cliff already. And have...

Had a nice visit this afternoon from CP member Cliff (oshawacliff), who has a gorgeous Oshawa 67 Impala FB.He's been trying to find replacement rotors as his car has the 4 piston disk brakes. He brought along the supposed 67-68 direct fit rotor from Ecklers he purchaced. What we discovered is th...

(Online photo, not mine) My car has been on the hoist for 4 days now ! The problem is the rear flex line where it mounts and passes through the frame crossmember. There is a retaining clip for each side of the frame. Every part brought in has the clips too close together as if the cross member is too thick....

CP'ers For reference, perhaps someone can use this someday. For anyone who has converted their 65-70 B Body from front Drum to Disc, or even to Disc Disc, you know that unless buying a complete system or kit, finding the correct tube nut sizes takes a little research. Even on the same line size, apparen...

Corvette rotors on 69-70 Canadian full size Pontiacs. A few years back, upon starting my chassis restoration, I had decided that my 69' Parisienne would need disc brakes in place of drums on the front. A little more performace would demand that braking be increased as well. Remeberi...

Is anyone using a universal joint to replace the rag joint? It would reduce some of the slop in the steering column play.

Hi all, I was considering selling my 68 2+2 this year, but only after I fixed a couple of soft spots on my frame. Along with help from "pont427" and a seasoned body man he knows well, we got it up on a hoist and had a closer look. We all agreed that the original frame was worse than thought and getting a better f...

Hey guys, I got a pair of 15x8.5 aluminum slotted rims and tried them on the back over drum brakes and it seemed like 10cm outside of the body. I saw few of you wear 15x8 on the back. Which seems too wide as well. So my question is - when you do drum to disk brake conversion, does the track width become more nar...

I'm sure these were early coil overs to assist weak springs. Have you seen them before ? They seem to be height adjustable.

Hey there. Does anyone know the parameters of 15 inch rims that can be put over disk brakes on 1965 Parisienne CS by any chance? I'm thinking of installing disk brakes and that will involve wheels change as well, as I believe someone said the original 14 inch won't fit. Also i saw on other forums that Rall...

Here's one for ya'. On my 67 Grande Parsienne 4 drum system, who knows what size the bleed screws are at the wheel cylinders?

Ok, It's probably been gone over before, but I'll ask again anyway. Why are there two lower arm frame mount holes on the 65-70? I've heard some theory that it's was for wagons to help the rear sit higher? But then had it discounted with other talk that a wagon came on the bottom hole. Better traction on the...
