Maintenance / 69 Pulling To The Right

« on: April 24, 2023, 10:57:43 PM »

Do any of you experienced front alignment guys see anything in this alignment setting on my 69 big block Camaro that would make it pull to the right? All front suspension components are OEM style and complete front end rebuild has 9000 miles on it. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

I was under my 69 Camaro this evening changing oil and just happened to notice this. What will have to be done to fix this? Will the entire control arm have to come off or is there another way to fix this. Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks

Maintenance / M22 Throw-Out Bearing

« on: April 15, 2023, 08:04:55 PM »

I need to replace the TO bearing in my 1969 Camaro 396 M22 car. What is the best available? Price is not a problem. I looked at one of the cheap "self aligning" TO bearings at Advance and it felt rough when I rotated it. It also was part plastic, which I really didn't like. It's a lot of trouble changing this TO bearing out and I want the best there is to put back in. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm seeing two different cowl induction solenoids on the internet for 69 Camaro. Both have the same P/N stamped in them DB1114427. But, one has the actuator arm installed horizontal and the other one has the arm installed vertical. Which is correct or does it matter? Please see attached photos.

General Discussion / RS Vacuum Source

« on: August 18, 2021, 05:54:45 AM »

Where did the 69 RS headlight system get it's vacuum source from? If the L78 had a intake fitting that only accommodated the brake booster, then where did the RS main hose connect to? I currently have a t-fitting in my intake that provides for the booster and my RS system. I know that isn't original, but it works. I'm thinking about putting the correct hard line fitting on my intake for the booster and was wondering where my RS should go? Please look at pictures. 1st picture is my current set up. 2nd is an original L78 fitting with only one port.
