There were several British guys driving a full size Pontiac on the 2007 Hot Rod Power tour with a few cameras stuck to the glass on the outside of the car. They took in 7 states in 7 days for 3000 miles with the setup. They are on The Hardcore Pontiac Forum and this is a link to the post of...

I rebuilt 2 GM shifters with the GM kit and both of them rattled (especially with A-C running) and occasionally left me in 2 gears - unable to move without crawling under the car and putting the trans in neutral. Since installing an antique Hurst shifter 13-14 years ago: no noise, no being...

The same as the little blue square in the square with 4 squares in it - at the bottom of this post and here ->

That's how I did my 66. The correct matching belt material in the pictures came from rear seat (largely unused) belt material found in old junk yards in vehicles from the 60s - when people just stuffed the rear seat belts under the seats. The buckles came from the same place, usually on Olds...

those buckles look terrible. the button is black. The center of the bowtie is blue. The stainless should have a brushed surface in one direction. Here's a pic of before and after restoring mine:

blackwalls belong on trucks :thumb

magic never sleeps

The schematics I made are near the bottom of this web page: http://www.corvetteforum.net/classics/magicmachine This is for a 64 with Powerglide and no A-C

Since you will raise the body: It is not uncommon for the support plate/bracket for the rearmost body mount to be badly rusted, but the rubber mount hides the damage from view with the body on. Any repairs require welding. Look at the clearance from the underside of the floor to the top of the...

A simple fuse will do it.

My 66 SB mule (has BB radiator) runs 160F-170F most of the time but will surge to 180F on a 100F day with A-C running.

I'll keep driving the 66 until I can't put the clutch in anymore, then I'll sell to the highest bidder. Incidentally, I have the 66 BB bagged in the corner of the garage, and I am currently wearing out the third mule SB in the car. What supercedes this mule could be anything from a high HP...

She (the email address is a lady's name) asked me to put money in her yahoo dealer account and then she would ship the car to me (extra$). I replied that if she would tell me where the car is and give me the vin, I would show up on her doorstep with a temporary plate, insurance, and a...

I have an offer from a lady in the northwest who wants to sell me a coupe for $5000. I'm currently searching stolen car posts for vin numbers.

In the Pit Stop column, on pages 132 and 134 it describes the older "ammeter" wiring with "external shunt" that c2 owners have had to come to terms with.

I believe johnz onceposted a pic of an intake with freeze plugs - maybe he will post an opinion. My manifold has threaded plugs. IMO it should last several years before corrosion eats them, then you just pop in new ones.

I live in Illinois and even in zero weather my AFB does not need a choke or heat passages to start and warm up the engine - I simply press the pedal down 2 or 3 times to start it in cold weather. It runs fine after that. With modern fuel formulation, I found that the AFB does not need the...

The bulbs are made by Design Tech. You can order them here (for instance): http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product?storeId=10101&Pr=p_Product.CATENTRY_ID%3A2003601&productId=2003601&catalogId=10111

Ya got me all excited about a carb with a 4.5 inch air horn untill I called Barry Grant tech support - and found out it needs a5.25 inch opening in the air cleaner - which your 67 has, since it came with a Holley. I should have noted that you have a 67, but I got tooexcited - oh well. Maybe a 67...

66 and 67 Corvettes only used Holley carbs with the larger air horn openings.
