Powerglide linkage question
(Preview)

Now I'm collecting all parts to convert it back to floor shift and I thought I got all the parts (console with shifter, hump, linkage and kick down rod), however that thingy in between linkage rod and ki...

What rear end ratio do I have?
(Preview)
The HP post previous got me looking at the specs, and surprised I see that my 69 Parisienne 350/250 with the powerglide should have a 3.08. I coud swear that it was a 2.73 as the car cruises along the highway no issue at 80 mph. No tach, but she feels like she's not working too hard at that speed.

11" clutch for big block?
(Preview)
Man, in the past it was easy. Rock Auto or my local parts store. I would order a Luk or a Sachs clutch and no worries. Now neither one of them list a stock replacement clutch for a 66 396/427. Any of you guys buy one lately? If so, what did you buy?

Powerglides. Hey, they ain't so bad after all.
(Preview)
So in the new 69 resides a 35/250 with a Powerglide. Works and shifts as intended behind the 350. Just does it's job. I never thought I'd like a 2 speed, had mental designs on a 3 speed and maybe a OD, but I have to say it's a fine transmission for a cruiser with a 2.93. Exceeds what I would have thought, smoot...

Exhaust manifold heat riser valve explosion!
(Preview)
So yesterday I pulled a pair of manifolds off an old seized 283. Naturally the heat riser valve is seized as they always seem to be. I thought I'd heat it to see if I could get the shaft to move. I'm glad I had glasses plus my tinted goggles on over them. As I heated it, suddenly it sounded like a gunshot and wha...

Hood hinges question

When I close my hood the rear portion of the hood sits high to the fender on both sides. If I push it down on both sides it levels out. Is there a way to correct this without having to push it down all the time? thanks in advance for the suggestions

1966 Fuel Pump for 396 or 427
(

(Preview)
When I rebuilt my 427 a few years ago, I wanted an original looking fuel pump but wasn't eager to pay the price for NOS. The fittings on the 66 pump didn't carry over into 67, so in Canada it was a unique pump. I think the US cars with a 396 in 65 used the 66 style pump but of course we never had them here. I bought...
