I am wondering if anyone has advice on how to bleed the master on a new install. It is a disc / disc master and I am going to need to do a bench bleed so I am wondering if anyone has any tips or a process that they would care to share. This is almost the conclusion on my drum to disc conversion and suspension rebu...

Hi everyone, No doubt, I have not used my car much in the past two years, 8 weeks ago, I had the car out and put the top down and left it down. Today, I went for a quick trip and when I got home, I decided to pop the top back up. She moved a little but did just not have the lift. So far I found this, https://canadianp...

I am in the process of a brake conversion from drum to disc on the 68 Grande.

My 68 2+2 has always had a slight brake pull to the right. Not huge but still there. I fought with it years ago and finally just loosened the brake setting on that side to smoothen it out to a point of being hardly noticeable. Well this past weekend I converted the front over to 70 single piston disc brakes....

Does anyone have a good part number for 70 B Body brake rotors? The Centric number is 120.62066 but when crossed over Raybestos, Wagner, or Winhere all come up with rears for a Pontiac Montana. Cant find a number using application with these companies either. Any help with a good number would be apprec...

I was wondering if someone could take a picture of the rear flex line on your 67? After looking at pictures of new lines on RockAuto and the Hubbard Impala catalogue , I am convinced the previous owner installed a flex line for a 69 or 70. From what I can tell the 66 67 68 line screws into a T fitting the 69 70 li...

I am thinking when I do my engine swap I will likely need to change front springs. I have a pair here I bought from Mark (Cdnpont) and may try them.

Just received my re-chromed bumper and I don't want to put the old bolts, I want new ones. Does anyone know how many I need of each for a 67 Parisienne? There are 12 in the front & 4 in the back bumper. They are a mix of 1" and 1½" and I'm not sure if 5/16 or 3/8 assuming they are all the same width. What I am su...

I recently had a good look at my upper control arm bushings and without a doubt, these upper bushings are toast.
