I have an aluminum rad in my 67 350 crate and air conditioning. I have a flex fan and a spacer to position the fan. What I am experiencing is the temp continues to rise when left at idle for a few minutes. The temp will go to normal once I get moving and get some air through the rad. I want to consider putt...

Yesterday I was at Flatla Auto Wrecking by Brooks AB and got a complete cruise control system from a 69 Parisienne.

Detailing on my 427 yesterday and I remembered I'd had an issue with the water pump pulley reinforcement not fitting the inside of the pulley.

Never too old to learn. Today I decided to work on getting a spare starter for a big block (or manual trans small block with 11" flywheel) with the cast iron nose. I purchased a nose with the fork recently. I had a couple of used starters here with the aluminum nose, so simple enough, just swap the iron no...

Many of you may know that our 60's GM's had some special starter bolts for the starters that had a cast iron nose. I believe this nose was used exclusively on big blocks and/or small blocks with the 11" clutch (168 tooth flywheel) The original GM number is 3733289 for this bolt and it's not just a plain 3/8...

I am swapping out a 283 and installing a 0.030 over 402 BBC in my 65 Parisienne. Would the optimum be factory rubber style or aftermarket poly? What parts have others used with success? It will be attached to the original PG (after a redo) or possibly a TH350 if finances allow.

On the 65 over the last while, when I've been out driving on the highway at any length of time, at, say 2300 RPM sustained, a rattle at the back starts. Starts quiet, not constant then becomes louder and all the time. Sounds like it's near the right rear tire. Travels right through the body and it's alarmi...
