While we were away on vacation I visited a guy I had previously met when we went to Las Vegas. Those of you who are into Acadians and Novas may know the name John Piccola. He did a lot of reproduction parts over the years for 62-67 Acadian and Nova. One of the many things he had reproduced is the rivets for ori...

So I'll be soon converting the 69 to front discs, 69/70 single piston style. I'll need a disc/drum master so I order one. Advertised as "Front disc brakes, power brakes". I like this style as it seems to approximate what would have been under hood if the car came with discs. The price is good and I know wha...

When you find a Rock Auto closeout, C3 Rotors can be really cheap. I always said C3 rotors were inexpensive and a good choice when converting your B to disc, but I had no Idea they could be found at this price. Yes, they are China, and uncoated, but for this price I'll take my chances...and I still used the d...

Converting the 69 to single piston disc brakes. I have the correct hold off (well, 1970) and bracket. Question, Is there any special technique to bleeding the fronts with this valve in place. I'd think the old way of using gravity to get the fluid to the calipers wouldn't work with the valve. Must you...

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

The original front bolts for the lower ball joints have a disproportional oversize head. I never even thought much about it but it makes sense now. They are wheel stops! They prevent the spindle from hitting the control arm during a very sharp turn. They are missing in the white car but I know they are s...

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?

ABC123 · ABC123

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.

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.
