After installing a 348 in my car ,I found that my brake booster hits the valve cover. I'm looking for an offset bracket that fits between fire wall and booster, it moves booster up a couple inches . I'm pretty sure they used them on 1961-64 chev and canadian pontiacs and maybe just v8 cars. I'm almost rea...

Not sure if this is the right section for this but when I was replacing my heater core in my 64 about 5 years ago, we couldn't find an exact replacement. Looked at everyhing logical (Impala,Bonneville,Tempest,Chevelle) & nothing matched size exactly. Think I ended up using one just a bit shorter...

Took the wiper motor of the 61 because it wasn't working properly, fixed it. Put it back on but the strap for the ground had seen its better days, so I grounded it from the 1/4 inch bolt that holds the armatier on to the wiper motor and to the firewall. Now its working but won't shut of with the wiper switch. T...
