Last week, the 3 speed tranny in my Parisienne started slipping. A check showed low tranny fluid. A look up the length of the work parking lot confirmed that I wasn't losing it into the radiator. A bottle of Lucas Stop leak slowed the flow, but that's only ever a stop gap. The decision was whether to just f...

Popped the cover of the rear end in 52!! This chassis is "supposed" to be a 84 Olds Cutlass, which would be a Metric rr. end. The cover bolts were metric [13m/m] but the axles are std. studs for whls??? Frt. discs are metric studs. The crown & pinion have what 'looks like 3:83 written on the...

Hi. I'm having trouble identifying a SMC, I figured if anyone would know, it would be someone connected to a Canadian car site like this. I was shown a burned up car out in the bush a while back, so I went back and dragged out the engine from it. It's another one of the units built by McKinnon Industries....

I started checking the numbers on my 1970 GTO Ram Air III to see what might still be original, only to find that the driver side head is a 12, and the passenger side is a 13. The motor has not been run since it was "rebuilt" a few years before I bought it. A carb is the only thing in my way before tr...

I am a far cry from being a guy who knows much about engines so please bear with me. I have a problem with the 350 in my '72 LeMans where it will sort of make a popping noise if I hammer down on the accelerator, pause, and then take off. If I take off slowly and wait a bit before hammering down, the same thing happ...

65Camino and Ihave made a past time out of trying to get wires for the LeMans. I finally had to settle on yellow Accel wires. While they perform flawlessly I would prefer something with a more original look which was charcoal grey wire with orange angle boots. We try 73 Chevelle and we get discontinued,...
