Welcome to the club. Hey Norval, welcome. You have done what I had in mind three years ago when I bought the '74. I am not there yet, but it is still early. Great look. peace Bud :cool

Hey Stallion, I really don't want to sound like someones father, (wait a minute I am a father) but NEVER EVER use gasoline to clean with. The smart guys in the forum can break down the chemical composition of gas. All I know is that gasoline is the most unstable chemical I have in the garage...

Silly me Hey John, I should of checked before I posted a reply. Just pulled the cover off and yep, sure 'nuff there's the gasket properly installed and everything. Thanks for being here for guys like me. Bud

Clarity repeated Hey Stallion, there is a cover on the front of my muncie that covers a bearing inside the front of the transmission. This cover also has a shaft that fits over the spline that goes from the transmission into the crank. The throw out bearing rides on this shaft. Hey John, I...

It's Off Hey Rowdy, got the bellhousing off. Saw how the clutch fork is attached, it came off without a hitch. Now another question, I took off the front cover that bolts on the front of the transmission. There is a hole at the base of the shaft that the throw out bearing rides on. Does this...

Hey John, great work! You are inspiring me to do my own body work. peace Bud

Clarity Hey Rowdy, thanks for the reply. I was in a hurry when I posted this thread and didn't bother to make it clear. The bellhousing is still on the transmission. It will be no problem at all to pull the bellhousing (I should paint it anyway). I just don't like forcing things too much. Again...

Hey guys, I have the engine out of the car, transmission still in the car. I am wanting to replace the clutch fork and throw out bearing. What's the trick? All the Hanes manual says is "remove clutch fork". I would love to. peace Bud :cool

Hey Curtis, something is going to break if you continue to flog your shark. They just didn't build the stock driveline to handle the hp that we are adding to these cars. As always the chain is only as strong as its' weakest link. Just start running it hard and be prepared to fix what you break...

Electrical problems Hey Ed, the great thing about an alt. problem is that it is an easy check. If you have a shop in your area that rebuilds starters and alt. then you can pull it off the car and take it to them. If it needs rebuilt it is relatively inexpensive. I had mine done for $36.00...

Welcome Hey Shack, welcome to the CAC. You are in the right place for information, help, advice, and support. Please don't be afraid to ask any question, no matter how lame you think it might be. Where to start is an interesting question. Total frame-off restoration is a very long and...

The Marriage Hey Coupeman, I also have married my shark. In it for the long run. I have many, many more thousands of dollars invested in my '74 than I could ever recover. Not to mention time and labor. But, none of my other rides have kept me company during the winters. Nor the pleasure and...

Hey Josh, WELCOME! You have joined the best forum with which I have ever been associated. You are asking for alot. More hp, but keeping the car original. Don't let anyone tell you that it is not possible to build a hi pro 305. Matching intake, cam, carb, heads, and headers will do what you want...

Hey Randy, yes I replaced the rear window on my '74 coupe. I also had a piece of glass cut for it and saved alot of money. I was doing my interior at the time so all of the inside trim pieces were off. I set one of those 500 watt halegen lamps on the rear deck appox. a foot away from the glass...

Hey guys, a lesson I learned a long time ago about any type of collectable. They are only worth what someone is willing to pay. Peace Bud

Hey Whiplash, I give. Mine was nothing like that. The a/c hoses just went to the outside of the radiator. I can't believe "they" (either GM or some previous owner) made it so difficult to unbolt the support. The way these radiators self destruct you would think it would be a quick change...

Hey Johnny, I have 2 original 1974 cast valve covers with the fins. Email me if you are interested. Bud

Different Manuals Hey Whiplash, I understand what you are describing, I just have not seen it. What manual are you using? If it is a generic Haynes type manual covering different years it may not mention this situation. Can you acquire a service manual for your specific model and year? If you...

Buyer Beware Hey Roadkill, welcome to the CAC. This is the best forum I have ever been associated with. There is no question too dumb to ask (just ask Stallion). ;) Is the owner going to back up the rest of the car other than what is already so obviously wrong? Why and how did that bolt...

New Info Hey Jack, again you come bearing great insight. Of course you're right, it was 69MyWays' post where I first read of the adjustable pivot ball. Since this morning I have been able to speak to a tech at CenterForce. He told me it wasn't required on my transmission unless the bellhousing...
