Bryan, the oil dipstick and tube that came with my 402 is a stock tube with a chrome dipstick. The tube is pitted and beyond cleaning up. Does GM still stock/sell the stock BBC dipstick and tube? I've looked at the usual sources (NPD, Ground Up, Year One, etc.) and nobody seems to sell this in the stock c...

I'll be spending next week in Duluth, GA for some card access training (no funny business, I've got a dog and a wife who can shoot ). With the exception of a "Hooter's" being across the parking lot, and "Wild Bills" nightclub down the road, Duluth GA is a black hole. It's about 45 mins NE of Atlanta. I will h...

Anyone have any clean ideas? I don't need any "Daddy, what does the 'F' on your plate stand for?" questions from the kiddos. I don't want anything that I have to explain either... I'm going to get collector plates, so it has to be something I'm willing to keep on the car for a long time... can't...

I forgot to delete the Craiglist ad for the Cutlass when I put it in storage at Jamie's. Now there is a guy in NY really interested in it! We even agreed on a price and he's thinking about it but I'll have to get a hold of Jamie and see if it would even be possible to get at it.

Flipped the club calendar page this morning to March, and there's this 'golden egg' shaped Chevelle on it! I guess that's in anticipation of Easter. Right Pushrod? I guess I shouldn't tease since my '72's trim/body tag decodes as it was originally Mojave Gold...

Since the turbo jet 396 in the 66 will need a rebuild. I was thinking I could scoop up the pair of these Turbo Jet 532's instead. Course, it would probably require a few modifications here and there. http://hartford.craigslist.org/pts/2226055168.html

Does the flex plate side with the recessed mounting pockets go on the converter side or the motor side when installing it? The one I took off the 402 had the pockets on the motor side, which I think was backwards as shouldn't the converter mounts fit into the pockets? Or, does it depend on how much spacing...

I want to switch the insurance on my collector cars to a specialty provider. I was thinking about Grundy, Chrome, Hagerty or Condon & Skelly. Anyone familiar with any specialty providers they would recommend or warn against? -- Edited by OscarZ on Wednesday 16th of February 2011 02:19:14 PM
