Speedometer gear sleeve/bullet
(Preview)
I am cleaning stuff in my tumbler and when I was putting this one in the tumbler today I noticed it doesn't have a seal in it. I never realized not all of these were the same design. There are some with a seal inside to keep the oil from coming out past the gear. To me, this design would be more prone to oil leaks...

Speedo cable replacement
(Preview)
my 67 impala instrument cluster was rebuilt many years ago. It seems that every year I have a noisy speedo cable. Pull it out and lube it but not perfect. The speedo needle has a minor fluctuation but settles down after a bit of lube. It seems to be a yearly ritual. The transmission is 3 speed th350. Any...

how far would you bore a 427?
(Preview)
looked at a number of sites and see all kinds of different answers. 60 over I think all would say ok but what about 70, 80 or 100? what do you think about sleeving back to standard? This also has to do with saving an original 66-69 427 block

I wanted to put a nice new shiny exhaust system on the 396 car so I ordered a system off eBay. I picked it up in Ohio on my way to the car show. After seeing it I figured I would use it on the L72 car -- Edited by 70 SS ACADIAN on Monday 8th of August 2022 08:27:53 PM

What's this rubber hose for ?
(Preview)
Hi guys, I recently installed a new carb on the 68 2+2 and I am wondering what this rubber hose is for, coming out of the bottom of the breather. Does it attach to the carb somewhere or does it just dangle ? Regards, Scott (LandShark ...)
