Hi guys, The auxiliary wire from the positive side of my battery to the frame (headlight bucket area) either burned out or just deteriorated due to age and left me stranded for awhile last weekend. I was able to rig something up to at least get me home. My question is this : what gauge of wire should I use to...

Not sure what the exact name is but looking for a 283 canister drop down cone. It goes inside the oil filter canister and seals the bottom of the filter. Filter doesn't do a thing without it! -- Edited by hawkeye5766 on Tuesday 6th of April 2021 01:31:26 AM

Is there a way to drill a hole in a hardened steel shift lever? In the picture you can see the lever on the right has a second hole closer to the pivot point to allow for "short stroke" shifter operation. If I am right, a normal drill bit would maybe scratch the surface of the left lever if I try to drill a hole i...

A while back there was a thread here on 67 and older shifters which included an eBay source for replacement parts. My 1968 Acadian / Nova Muncie shifter was prone to binding & locking up. After stripping it down it appears the 3-4 lever is the problem. The eBay seller lists his parts as 64 - 81 Corvett...

As most of you know I have a 66 Grande in my garage...but don't know much about them and am looking to get educated!!! A few questions on a SB Grande.

Has anyone bought an aftermarket lock bolt for a 12 bolt posi? I searched quite a while online and most of the ones listed sounded wrong or if they had a picture, looked wrong.

So.....I was thinking about my grandfather recently, and a random thought came to my mind and of course it got me thinking. I have a memory of being with him at a gas station in the 1980s. I think we were in his 1977 Buick LeSabre. It was a full service station and my grandfather opens the trunk. He gets ou...

Gurus; How do I get my Qjet to come off the choke a little quicker in the cold? On my 327 when I rebuilt it, I did the partial restriction of the heat riser passage at the intake gasket, and I used a gutted heat riser as well. Even when I see 180 on the gauge, she still stays on high idle when out on the road, until...
