STICKY:
Differences In The Rear Brake Flex Line On A Convertible Compaired To A Sedan ?
(Preview)
(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....

Converting to Disc using a Combination valve. Flare nut size illustration.

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 for big disc cars.

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...

1969/70 used 2+2 front springs in the 65?
(Preview)
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...

Factory Option J52
(Preview)
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.

15x8 factory wheel questions.
(Preview)
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...
