I'm going to be replacing the ball joints and control arm bushings on the Laurentian soon. It would make sense to replace the springs with big block springs at the same time. However, my plan was to drive the car this summer until the big block was ready and then do the swap over a couple of weekends. The fr...

Just recieved my new Booster from Antique Chevrolet. they got it from Fine Lines in NY, and they apparently got it from MBM brakes in NC. It looks great, and being from MBM, it's made in USA, which is a nice surprise. I was expecting China Corp. It has one variation from stock. The mounting studs are all 3 3...

Looks like someone is finally making a column keyed tilt for our 69' and up B bodies. Not sure of the application length, but they seem to have them in many different configurations. Way pricey, but at least the option is now available. Flaming River

Hey, CP'ers, I'm looking for a new 11" Delco Moraine booster for my 69' Parisienne. I've surfed plenty of USA sites that have it. Does anyone know who locally, or somwhere in Canada would have this unit for sale? Could anyone steer me to it? Would a GM dealer possibly still have one? Cheers and tha...

For a brief history, the car had a frame off and it was cross measured to be right on. All the front end parts were replaced, including a tighter ratio steering box, and then an alignment. I knew that the car dog tracks with the rear slightly to the right and the only solution for this was to install an ad...

Does anyone have any tricks on removing the Ebake cable from the floor by the firewall?I don't want to damage it taking it out.Pliers and a screwdriver have only come to frustration.Trying to get all the metal barbs pushed in at the same time is a nightmare.

For anyone looking for a alternative to Vette rallys or plain steel, and would like to run some dog dishes, this fellow over on Cheytalk put a set of S10 wheels on his 68Cayne'. I think they look pretty sweet.

I decided to change the "attitude" of my Laurentian by changing the 14" tires and wire wheel caps to reproduction G70-15 Firestone WideOval redlines and 15X7 rally rims from Coker tire. The customer service at Coker was excellent and with the dollar the way it is, it actually was che...

I bought a replacement master cylinder for my Laurentian. The new one has bleeder screws above the line ports. Is this to eliminate bench bleeding or to make it easier to bench bleed? Never seen one like this before... Todd
