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...

How do you adjust the camber on a 67 parisienne?

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...

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...

I noticed today that my "new" front tires (3000 miles) that I put on when I bought my car have a slight bit of wear on the inside and I when I run my hand both directions on them I can feel the difference between the two directions. I know some of my original front bushings are showing their age, so I guess I kno...

I have been thinking about getting some fancy wheels for my 68 Grande and I like the American Racing toque thrust wheels.
