Hey guys, I've got a '66 283 with powerpack heads, HEI and what I think is an RV cam. I'm currently running a 2 barrel and stock intake, but I've got a rebuilt quadrajet from my old '71 lemans just staring at me from the garage shelf. I've also got a line on a vintage Single plane holley street dominator in...

Does anybody have any pictures of a stock (original) 63 Parisienne,Laurentian or Strato Chieif (283 2bbl.) with the air cleaner off? Need to see carb/choke/intake manifold detail. Thanks

I have a 500 Eldebrock 4 barrel carb on my 305, its running to rich and I thought I would adjust the carb pump to see if that helps before changing the jets. I carb pump adjustment rod has three holes for adjustment, which hole would make it run leaner, the bottom or the top hole. thanks

its the 59' 2-speed cast iron glide and its leaking at the plug. I tried to force a little bit bigger one and it held for awhile but its leaking again. Its 3/4 wide plug so i dont have a tap that big but i was wondering if anybody sells self tapping plugs. They did at canadian tire in the 70s for oil drain plugs i...

So i put a 4-barrel carb on and i kept the oil fill tube in the front on the intake manifold and the downdraft tube (its a 59' 283) so from what i understand is that is the cars vacum or (pcv) originally ? So do i just cap off all the vacum ports on the carb? I also have the original heads with valve covers so no h...

Guys finally got the motor just about to the turn the key time, probably Friday we should fire it up, I changed over to an alternator instead of the generator, how can I hook up the wires from the alternator to make it charge, Thanks Brent, Pics will be coming of the changeover.

Finally took the 61 out on its first trip since putting the small block in and the rebuilt 2 speed powerglide to get the duals put on.

A couple weeks ago there was a post from somebody on here about possibly getting a rad re-cored. Some people said just buy a new one and be done with it, well I went the re-core route. I did several internet searches on re-cores, and found some great info. As I was going to run the original engine I didn't n...

So I finally found a 283 for my 64 Parisienne CS and went to buy new motor mounts but there were 2 sytles to choose from and since the car came without engine or mounts I bought both. I am hoping I can find out from the membership which one is correct to save me swapping them while in progress of the installati...

i have this turbo 350 sitting here and cant decide if i shouldd replace the cast iron glide thats in it. Before i tear into it will it just bolt up to the 59' 283 with no problems? I know i will have to shorten the driveshaft but i should replace the U joints anyways so thats not a big deal. I think i asked this qu...

Car: 1964 Parisienne The gas gauge seems accurate. However,.. the needle bounces back and forth with a bit of an erratic motion (about 2-3 needles widths) not matter how full the tank is.
