When we went to this this forum, we lost the member 'name' and 'location' on the avatar pic. I noticed that Mitch added his first name into his signature, which I think is a great idea as others have expressed that it's hard to know the name of the forum member without clicking on their user link. So, I'm as...

Should be obvious wants wrong. I need to rotate the oil fill tube a bit. Don’t want to damage the chrome. I taped it up and tried to use a large chanel lock pliers. No luck.

I am looking for some connectors and terminals to hook up an old KK Tach to an original 1966 tack harness. Someone had cut the terminals/connectors off.

Working on when the switch will activate power to my lock up converter. My system is a 2004R with lock up to only accrue when in Overdrive.

I met a guy at a show in Az Saturday that has a '66 Impala 3 seat Wagon with an original 396/325hp and a M20 4 speed. I know we can find how many Chevelles were built with specific options but is there a site to locate that information for the Impala? I thought it would be in the GM Heritage vehicle information...

Water-softener filling with water and leaking over the top. Culligan tech said these Water Boss softeners go bad and are too expensive to repair. Can’t get parts. New Culligan $3700.

I never knew about these. Serious heavy duty truck and industrial engines. This is a really neat video. Unfortunately the audio quality is poor, but on the positive side, the "reporter" seems to actually be knowledgeable about engines & machining.

I signed up a few months ago for a new 2024 blazer electric, I will not likely get it until Dec of 23, but maybe later. Now having seconds thoughts. I have been looking at a 2023 blazer with the 3.6. The annual Milage we put on our 2015 equinox runs about 5K. So the cost of gas is not much of a factor. Any th...

Does anyone have a suggested order of operations for sheet metal work on a 66 chevelle. Most of the sheet metal is going to be replaced. Just wondering if there is a generic order to do things it. Example 1. Trunk floor 2. Inner outer wheel wells 3. Quarter panels 4. Etc.

And y'all... Derek has a more vested interest in this, but I thought it was really interesting. Just having the 100 year old tooling to be able to do this job is amazing.

Also the caliper brackets. Plates look gold with orginal plating but some paint. The other side is pretty much brace dust, same for brackets. I washer and scrubbed with dawn soap.
