65-70 Full Size Chassis Tech Forum

(Online photo, not mine) My car has been on the hoist for 4 days now ! The problem is the rear flex line where it mounts and passes through the frame crossmember. There is a retaining clip for each side of the frame. Every part brought in has the clips too close together as if the cross member is too thick....

Had a nice visit this afternoon from CP member Cliff (oshawacliff), who has a gorgeous Oshawa 67 Impala FB.He's been trying to find replacement rotors as his car has the 4 piston disk brakes. He brought along the supposed 67-68 direct fit rotor from Ecklers he purchaced. What we discovered is th...

CP'ers For reference, perhaps someone can use this someday. For anyone who has converted their 65-70 B Body from front Drum to Disc, or even to Disc Disc, you know that unless buying a complete system or kit, finding the correct tube nut sizes takes a little research. Even on the same line size, apparen...

Corvette rotors on 69-70 Canadian full size Pontiacs. A few years back, upon starting my chassis restoration, I had decided that my 69' Parisienne would need disc brakes in place of drums on the front. A little more performace would demand that braking be increased as well. Remeberi...

Yesterday I installed the Pittman arm on my manufactured Saginaw box. I used red locktite on the new nut along with the lockwasher. Used my big electric impact gun to run the arm up onto the splines. Gave it a good hit. Now it appears the box has some very slight play off center. It had zero play previous...

I'm planning on adding 1970 front discs to my 65. This will require a dual Disc/Drum master along with some new plumbing. In thinking about the plumbing of the lines, I see a way it could be perhaps made easier. The existing single master 4 port distribution "T" could be made to work...If I could block th...

Good evening all! I have a 1966 Pontiac Beaumont that has some chrome peeling on it. I have another bumper lying around which I purchased off another person on Kijiji from a 1966 beaumont 4 door hard top. Everything fits perfectly except for one thing, the hood release latch level. My old bumper had a ho...

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions where I might source the part in Canada. Moog part number is DS756 and rare parts number is 25794.....part fits a...

How do you stop the shaft from turning when undoing the top nut?

On the 65 the plan is to use a pair of used stock front springs that Clint had sent me many moons ago (thanks Clint). I knew I might need them someday. If I remember right, they were from a 69 or 70 small block TH350 2+2 no air. Could be wrong. The question is, will they be suitable for the 65 Sedan? 327/M20 in a 6...

For 67, option # J52 was supposed to be for front disc brakes with 15" tires. I believe this option was only available for Safari wagons. Has anyone ever seen what the original wheel covers looked like for 15" wheels? I haven't found any on the net.

Are there any factory 15x8 steel wheels other than a rally, in the B Body bolt pattern. Did the pattern change in 71? The plan was to use the Wheel Vintiques series 62 on the 65, but if I could find 4 good steel wheels I'd go that route as a cost savings. If available...where would you even find them? Thanks,...

A while back I noticed the inside of both front tires wearing after only 3000 miles on them, and also noticed the upper control arm bushings were looking pretty nasty. I've had a set of NOS bushings sitting around here since long before I got this car and once I saw that I knew where their home would be. Tod...
