Originality / 68

« on: January 07, 2013, 01:08:37 AM »

Another winter project.

68 w/ a L6, 250 non a/c
It seems to run warm when the weather gets hot.
Did this come with a fan clutch. Does not have now.
If no, would adding one cool the engine?  Or can I add a multi-blade fan?

Thanks

Maintenance / Emergency brake

« on: January 05, 2013, 03:38:38 PM »

The emergency brake on the 68.
When pushing down on the emergency brake pedal, the handle does not engage to keep the pedal fram releasing the gear.
It looks like a spring keeps tension on the handle.  A spring fell off, but I have no idea where or how it hooks into.

Thanks

General Discussion / my mid-life crisis

my wife let me buy a 1968 convertible camaro last year.  it is in good shape but there are things that i cannot figure out.  i am not a mechanic.
1/  if i want to change the oil pump is it necessary to pull the engine?
2/ the car has two different size tires on it, the one on the rear larger that the front.  is there a reason for this and will the front take the same larger size as the rear?
