Hi guys, my local parts shop can get Hooker Headers Part #2457HKR. He says they fit a 66 Chev Impala and has asked me to find out if they will fit into my 66 Grande Parisienne with the 454 BBC. Can anyone vouch for this? Thanks.

Seems to be leaking very slowly, I see residue appear again 10 minutes after wiping it. When it starts there is sometimes a puff of smoke. Do I have a leaky valve stem seal? If so how would I test to verify which one? I have a 350 v8 Thanks -- Edited by blackbird307 on Saturday 28th of March 2015 11:05:21 PM -...

Hi, I have a 10 bolt rear end in my car, is there any way of knowing the size and how many splines without opening it up? I've been looking online, because I want to put a posi and change the ratio, but I don't know if it is 8.5", or 32 spline or what. Thanks

The more I read, the more confused I am. Does someone have an old Hurst catalogue? If so and you are willing to give me the number for the shifter and number for the installation kit? 1966 Impala would be the correct application. Thanks.
