(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...

Installing my new shocks, Thank you Mr Delco for the new hardware. That's not always the case in aftermarket parts. My driver's side spring appears to be off location. It has a bit of a curve and rubs on the frame pocket opening. Original springs but I had then out when I added lift pucks on the trailing ar...

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...

Are the rear lower control arms the same on a 65 as a 67? Reason I ask, is I'd like to detail and put 4 arms together pre conversion for a 12 bolt. I'd like to do a 12 4 arm to replace the weak and worn 10 bolt 3 leg (and both are loose!!) I have a pair of nice 67's lowers from our good member Cliff already. And have...

I'm having a bear of a time getting my master to rear line to seal at the union. Seems no matter what, I am getting a hint of weep. I took the advice from here, and built up to tightening, on/on and slowly. And I'm on the third line now. Second union. Though I had it, but there is still a slight hint of weep. Firs...

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...
