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...

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...

(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....

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...

Sunday, I will attempt to install the front springs. I have a high quality spring compressor but these big springs are intimidating. Wish me luck ! -- Edited by ABC123 on Monday 22nd of April 2024 06:29:41 PM -- Edited by ABC123 on Tuesday 23rd of April 2024 06:41:11 AM

Randy's thread about front springs prompted me to ask about rears for the same cars, 65-70 B body Canadian Pontiacs (or full size Chevrolets). Has anyone used the Cargo Coil style rear springs on one of these cars? I'm curious what it did to ride height? Also, has anyone tried a wagon spring in a sedan or...

Hey there, does anyone know torque specs for 70s slot mags on Impalas/Pontiacs?

I probably already know the answer, but are the B, F41 big front bar brackets the same as the smaller bar? Yes, all good....If no, does anyone have an old pair of bigger ones? Also, is the bigger bushing a readily available part? Thanks, Mark

I need to clean a set of these up. But which ones are correct ? The white 69 has the set with the donuts. Of course when I took a shot of them, more bad news. Looks like as soon as I am done building one front end, I will need to do another -- Edited by ABC123 on Thursday 21st of March 2024 06:50:54 PM

Been a long while since I've last bought upper and lower ball joints for the 65-70 B. What parts are you using today? Still going with the Moog K6034 and 35 or is there another preferred brand now? There was a time where there was a spate of aftermarket joints prematurely wearing out. In particular the l...

I was cleaning up the original engine to frame mounting blocks and of course, more high torque damage. I know where I can get a set of a 1969 350 car but are they the same ?

Hey there. So yesterday was the first time I actually drove my "new" Parisienne. Mostly on the highway, 100km/h. I couldn't help butt noticed the steering play is insane, it took a serious effort to keep the car more or less straight, even on low speed. A bit better when it's accelerating. Literally c...

Howdy folks! I am looking at replacing my baby moons on the factory 14 inch rims on my 67 Bonneville. Have had some old Mr.Gasket's on there for a few decades but wonder if there is a band that folks reccomend. I found these ones would ding easy and could be hard to install. Thanks!

Good morning, all. For my 2+2, Eric sent me those awesome 1970 spindles and hardware.(Thanks !) I just came across a 1972 Vette that is getting all new top of the line brakes. Available to me are the front calipers, brackets and rotors. I would have the dual piston calipers rebuilt, if I go this way. Opi...

Is anyone using a universal joint to replace the rag joint? It would reduce some of the slop in the steering column play.
