Does anyone have a good pic of a stock throttle return spring setup for 1967 283 cars (A-body). 2-barrel I think it runs back toward the coil area? Does it attach to the kick-down somehow???? And if so, how would it look for a Manual trans car then???? Also where is it hooked on the carb???? Also, the oi...

What do I have to do to install some Vortec heads on my 1985 LS-9 small block? I know I have to change the intake manifold. Are my exhaust manifolds compatible as well? Pistons? Thanks .d -- Edited by 65Camino at 10:14, 2008-11-05

Recently while driving my 65 BeauCamino the speedo went nuts and emitted a weird buzzing noise. The red needle then fell out. Returning home the centre piece that holds the needle fell out. Ever happen to you? Can I just rebuild the old speedo or should I get a new one?
