I am going to go look at what the seller says is a 69 pace car convertible with a 396 4-speed. It is buried in his garage and has been for many years. It has a warranty replacement block, he said. What should I look for to make sure this is the real deal?? Thanks, Karl

Restoration / Big Block pulleys???

« on: June 11, 2006, 05:21:22 AM »

I am restoring a 1968 Camaro that I bought w/o an engine. It was a big block orig. ,and I want to install a 454 I have. Can you put a short waterpump and corosponding pulleys to make it look orig? or does the 454 dampner prevent that. I have heard the 454 is balanced exterally with the dampner. Thanks, Karl It's a mid 70's truck engine.

Mild Modifications / PLEASE PLEASE HELP, NO REAR BRAKES 2

« on: May 28, 2006, 12:25:29 AM »

PLEASE PLEASE HELP, NO REAR BRAKES 2, I converted from manual drum to power disc/drum and the rears do not work. I have replaced the booster/master cyl, combo/porportion valve, front and rear flex hose's, rear brake tubing, wheel cylinders and the rear brakes just will not work, period. No air is present in the system, the front calipers work perfect. What is going on??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karl

Mild Modifications / HELP NO REAR BRAKES

« on: May 20, 2006, 04:59:08 AM »

I have converted my 68 over to power front disc brakes. I used the single piston calipers, a 11" Booster, 1968 Disc/Drum master cyl with the new style combo/porportion valve. Bled all the air out, (pushing in on the front button on the por. valve) and I have no rear brakes. The front rotors stop when you push on the brakes, but the rear's do nothing. Removed the drum and no movement at all. The wheel cyls are new too. Fluid came out while bleeding, but real slow. WHAT IS WRONG? Should I put a later model Master Cyl on???
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Karl

General Discussion / SS small or big block

« on: February 11, 2006, 05:11:12 AM »

I am looking for a 67-69 Camaro to restore and would like to find a real SS. How can you tell if a car is a real SS with all the clones out there? Also how can you tell if it came with a big block or a small block. What about the RS?  I have seen so many that look good, only to find out they are clones. My 68 SS Chevelle has the proof right in the VIN #. What about Camaros?  Thanks, Karl
