It's the standard cast iron four speed automatic with the split torque converter/ flywheel. Was working fine the last time it was used back in 1980. It's going to the scrap if nobody wants it. I'm south of Houston about 40 miles. It's free so if in need, come get it. Bring help. It's heavy.

I picked up a front axle out of a '90 Comanche and I'm just in the planning stages right now, on the best way to get it under the Ghia. I really need to get the steering behind the axle so all the crud isn't hanging out front. And, so I can still use the rack and pinion I've already been using...

I found this in some of my Dads' treasures. Can't read anything on the tag but, it's got an Autolite rotor. This oughta be an easy one for yall. It's before my time. Thanks.

We had the annual Lions Club show yesterday. A total of 44 vehicles. I got second place(out of two) in Rat Rod cars. I got beat by a 56 Chevy that was entered as Rat Rod instead of street rod or something that it wasn't either. This was their first year for the rat category and I'm thinking...

Belongs to a friend down the street here in the big city. He's got a whole lot more patience and money than I.

This set has been passed around with the idea that some day, someone will know what the heck it's for. I feel like I ought to know but, the thought process comes up blank. There's no name brand marked anywhere. Thanks.

I've been carrying this light around for many years and thought somebody may know what it came from. My Dad got it from somewhere years ago but, doesn't recall where. Thanks.

Hey guys, just a word of advice for anyone using carpet cleaner in an enclosed area. DON'T. My better half decided the carpet in the dining room needed some TLC and broke out the little hand held steam cleaner and got a couple cans of foamy 409 cleaner. Well, a total of three ER visits at this...

Just curious as to what is the best temperature to run this C-6.(stock converter) The gauge never gets off the 120 mark. I've got a big cooler mounted in front of the radiator so it's possible the fluid is staying that cool. I'm fairly sure I have the sensor mounted on the pressure side line...

I've gone thru the rotation and have all tightened the rockers so the pushrods won't spin with my fingers. How much addition tightening do I do the rockers?? It's been a while since I've done a Chevy. I usually just put the oil splash deals on the rockers and get the valves quiet, while running...

Just a heads up on a possible problem. I have a ⅜" Wix inline filter mounted between the tank and fuel pump just in case I didn't get the tank washed out real good. The other day, I was out running around town, when the Ghia acted like it was running out of gas. It finally stopped and on...

Can be useful at times for identifying items or maybe for crossover. www.showmetheparts.com I spent about an hour playing on it this evening.

I searched and didn't find quite the right answer. '79 C-6 from a F150/460. Newly rebuilt, shifts fine, just too fast. Even when accelerating a little. It goes 1,2,3, OK, but no pause in second before hitting third. I can barely get to 20mph before it's in third. It's got enough power so it's...

The Biggest event to hit to South Texas in years will not let Rat Rod builders down! Promoters have stated the show would be lacking without inviting Rat Rod builders to showcase their creations. The 2014 Lone Star 600 being held at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown Tx will have racers from across...

The local auto parts guy has been building this for about a year. He's driving it to the big Mustang 50th party in Carolina, this month. He bought a brand new one exactly like it back in '68. Nice car in person. Still has a few items left to complete. 428CJ/5 speed-3.25 rear.

I've been given an early v-8 Falcon rear. It's a five lug. I'm guessing this would be a healthier rear for my project than the 80s Courier. Are gear sets still available and what would the technical term be for this? An 8", or what? I am clueless on rear ends. Thanks.(I can get a pic when the...

I just need some ideas as to what to do with this dash top. I need to cover it with something to help keep the hot breeze from blowing thru. I was thinking about some thick leather or similar. I need some different thinking here. My bright ideas usually don't work out. Thanks.

I checked with the local parts house and they can't find a 12v replacement for the 6v '61 Ghia dash light bulbs. They are small and slip up into speedometer and clock. Not much room. My question: If I used a 12v to 9v(6v if there is such a thing) resistor just for the dash lights, would it get...

I know a guy that was talking about scrapping out a '63 Buick he has. He said Wildcat one time and LeSabre another. Before I ride three or four hours to look at it, what's the market like for the motor/trans and how would I tell if it's a 401 or a 425. Any particular thing to look for to...
