Made it through the parade today without issue, no overheating, car ran great all through the parade. Got a lot of "nice car", "do a burnout", etc. After the parade was out, I went strait to Anoka to pick up my son, who has a 3 day pass, before he ships to Fort McCoy. Picked him up a...

Hello all, new to the forum, I've been reading for a year and finally decided to join and post. I'm in the middle of a rehab project and could use some help finding a part. I've replaced the steering wheel on my 1970 Chevelle but I'm missing a part. I bought the kit from OPG which had The contacts but when I...

Question to all those who have done the conversion to a 200r4? As part of the conversion the crossmember gets moved back about 3-4 inches. How did you hook up your parking brake cables after moving the cross member? There is a hook that slips into the cross member with stock transmissions, but with the r...

Just got through calling a recycler in st. paul. Quote me about 215 a ton for cast iron. Did I hear him right? If so that works out to around $1 a lb. Maybe I will have to call that guy back with the chevelle that is pretty much ready for the chruser.

Well as far as I could determine this looked like a pretty good block; but who know. No visiable bolt hole problems, repairs, etc. Deck look good, no indication of water corrosion due to a bad head basket. Appears to be standard with a ridge on the top of the cylinders. Appeas to have original caps with...

I think it was asked a while back, but who here has served in the military, or has close family that is currently serving? I'll start. I have not, though I seriously considered it when graduating in 1991. My father had applied to the US Military Academy at West Point in 1963. He was told that the quota was...
