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...

Hoping someone could help determine what carb would have come originally on a 66 beaumont. It has a 327 with a power glide. Thanks Stan

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...

Has anyone converted a 67 Beaumont from an automatic to a standard and if so, what pedals did you use? Pedals from a 67 GTO/Tempest or 67 Chevelle because apparently they are different?

Hi fellas, I'm running an Edelbrock 800cfm carb on the 396/402. I'm also running an Edelbrock Victor Jr high volume fuel pump. It supplies the carb with consistent 9psi. I'm just learning now (because I failed to read the Edelbrock manual) ...that Edelbrock carbs require no more than 6.5psi. Has...

My turbo 350 transmission doesn't shift into 1st until you have sat at a light for about 20 seconds? The fluid level is up, I don't think the linkage position would affect it? In automatic mode it wouldn't stay in low past 3000 RPM under full throttle, in spite of adjusting the linkage which doesn't seem...

I was thinking of taking out my Rochester carb and going with a Holly or Edelbrock. Any body have an opinion would be appreciated.

Someone was asking me about the engine numbers for their '66 Chevelle 300 convertible with a 283. I can't figure out the Canadian engine numbers prior to the '67 models. The engine i.d. is 776547430. Can anyone decode this engine for me?
