My dear CP folks, here comes interesting issue I ran across my 65 Beaumont w/V8 engine install last year and now I'll have to clarify what I'm gonna do in the end to get the issue sorted out and get the car running. As the car originally came with a L6 190 ci engine, I had to install the V8 option frame mount...

Just throwing more money at it, lol. Never had an MSD before but car was missing badly. Turned out the bronze gear for my roller cam was worn out. I built a couple brackets to mount the coil and box, just have to make a coil wire.

68 Beaumont Changing out my two speed powerglide on the steering column to a 200 4r transmission centre console.

Right now I have 3.55 to 1 gears in the rear end and I'm thinking of adding a Gear Vendors overdrive or swaping the TH400 out for a 700R. If I went with the overdrive I'm also thinking of changing the rear end to 4.11. What do you guys think? Has anyone here done either?

Put a Vintage a/c kit on the '66 Beau over the winter. I worked with their tech representative, and they assembled a hybrid kit with the Pontiac Tempest/GTO "head" end (controls in dash), with the Chevelle BBC spec for everything else. It went in pretty smoothly, the only fabrication was getting th...

I have to say I was impressed, happy, and relieved at how easy it was to put in and that I didnt have to cut my floor pan or massage it. I did have to open it up but I should have anyways when I installed the M21. Just need to get a driveshaft made and I can try it out. Should be a different car, changed from the thum...

Its been a long time since I changed a clutch and was wondering if the pressure plate bolts use a lock washer or not. I got the bolts but no washers and am just not sure if they are needed. Ian

Engine in the car I purchased was built by a local reputable shop and they were kind enough to send me the internal details and even the dyno sheet. Pretty happy with the 414 HP / 419 TQ combo from the alum headed 350 vortec block. Was even happier to see it has a roller cam, but here comes the cringe worthy...

I am hoping someone has a speedometer cable out of a 64 Beaumont with a Powerglide and is able to measure the length of it.

I just finished rebuilding an M21 transmission and got to thinking maybe I should swap out the M20 for the M21. But first maybe I should determine which trans will be a better all around trans for my car. The car has a 3.08 gear Posi the tires are 25.6 inch diameter. The M20 currently in my convertible is an...

There is another thread about 327's that has slightly derailed so rather than take it further off course, I'll post separately. The discussion came up that there has been rumours for years (I first heard them in the 70's when I was a teenager) that GM made some 4 bolt main 327's. The Massey Ferguson comb...
