B-body disc brake question
(Preview)
This question is related to my 68 Caprice but it applies to all 65-70 Canadian B-bodies so here goes. When I bought the Caprice, it had drums on the front, although the car had a disk brake pedal pad. When I investigated I found that the drums and spindles had junkyard markings on them. I figure the ori...

Dropped the gas tank...
(Preview)
Pulled the gas tank on the 2+2 last night. I found 40 years of crap in the tank along with the original sending unit. This explains why there were 2 in-line fuel filters that plugged up quickly! I will be changing the main fuel line too. Plugged in the new sending unit...gas gauge works now. The tank...

Got the rear stabilizer bar on!
(Preview)
Nice day, had the spacers and bolts, so I went and stole the Spohn Performance bar from my project chassis and installed it. Aftermarket look, and I'll put the stock one on when I hook up and get it from 427Carl. Big difference, but now I can really feel the sloppy front bushings and smaller front bar. S...

Got Bilsteins!
(Preview)
The original spiral tube shocks served well in the Gp over 43 years, the Russians thought they were still ok, but it was time to install the Bilsteins I bought over the winter. An absolute 100% improvement in the way the car rides, handles and stops. More firm, but not harsh in any way. Total attitude c...

I've got the bumper re-chromed and all the other pieces cleaned up and painted. Now I'm starting to put it back together. However, when I took the headlight bucket off of the headli...

Control arm bushing. Replacement question?

Question. Can 65-70 full size front upper control arm bushings be replaced "in car". Can I change them without popping the upper ball joint, and potentially damaging it's seal? -- Edited by cdnpont on Thursday 18th of March 2010 09:26:52 PM

Tire and rim width question.
(Preview)
On my 67 Gp I'm running 15x8 Rallys with 255 70 15 T/A's. In corners the raised lettering on the rear tires will rub the odd time on the hooks for the fender skirts. The fronts will catch the outer tread blocks on the front wheelwell trim at full lock when reversing. It's obvious they're at the outer limit...
