(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...

Hi, does anybody know where I can get the proper length front emergency brake cable?I own a 1965 strato chief waggon I ordered a inline tube E brake kit for a standard 65 impala. Everything fit except for the front cable. I just got another one from car ID. The overall length is correct. But the colla...

dumb question, does anyone have pics of how they routed the brake lines when doing this conversion, the rubber vette lines are a few inches too short

I am in the process of a brake conversion from drum to disc on the 68 Grande. I have C3 spindles and hubs I am re-packing new bearings and getting close to installing the hubs on the spindles but I have a few questions on the following: 1) After the bearings are packed, how much grease should you put inside...

My 68 2+2 has always had a slight brake pull to the right. Not huge but still there. I fought with it years ago and finally just loosened the brake setting on that side to smoothen it out to a point of being hardly noticeable. Well this past weekend I converted the front over to 70 single piston disc brakes....

Does anyone have a good part number for 70 B Body brake rotors? The Centric number is 120.62066 but when crossed over Raybestos, Wagner, or Winhere all come up with rears for a Pontiac Montana. Cant find a number using application with these companies either. Any help with a good number would be apprec...

I was wondering if someone could take a picture of the rear flex line on your 67? After looking at pictures of new lines on RockAuto and the Hubbard Impala catalogue , I am convinced the previous owner installed a flex line for a 69 or 70. From what I can tell the 66 67 68 line screws into a T fitting the 69 70 li...

Mods are not an easy find... Nearly 9 years ago, with a lack of patience and research skills, I ended up being the wrong disc brake spindle conversion kit for my car.

Just received my re-chromed bumper and I don't want to put the old bolts, I want new ones. Does anyone know how many I need of each for a 67 Parisienne? There are 12 in the front & 4 in the back bumper. They are a mix of 1" and 1½" and I'm not sure if 5/16 or 3/8 assuming they are all the same width. What I am su...

I recently had a good look at my upper control arm bushings and without a doubt, these upper bushings are toast. The rubber is squishing out and the rubber hole is elongated and there is a lot of play in the bushing itself. So, I knew this day was coming that I would have to address the front end bushings (...
