General Discussion / Manual shifter has very close gear locations

« on: June 04, 2010, 05:18:37 PM »

This spring I purchased a 1969 Camaro and found that the 4 speed Muncie transmission has little room when putting it into gear and I'm find that it is difficult to determine if your in reverse, first, or third. I have driven a lot of stands new and old and have never had one that is this tight between gear locations. I’m wondering if this is normal for this tranny model or is the linkage not setup correctly on the car. Any info would be great. My center console is missing but I can’t see that being and issue (here is a picture).

General Discussion / Cowl induction hood intake not utilized and should be?

« on: April 16, 2010, 02:52:38 AM »

  The feed back I’ve received from this site has been great making me to ask another question. I have a cowl induction hood with a standard filter under it (no seal around the hood intake and I hate when things are installed to make a look but not utilized) and I’ve looked up cowl induction intake kits but they are not exactly what I’m looking for, the air filter intakes have been original intake in design when I’m looking for a intake kit that takes air into a filter from both the sides and the top. Also the intakes have a side draw for air within thee engine compartment which I’m assuming is for winter use to draw warm air into the carburetor or to prevent blockage in the cowl intake choking out the motor “but” I’m looking for a kit that draws air externally only into the carb and I have been unsuccessful. Is there such a kit or pieces that can be created to make that kit?

General Discussion / 1969 Camaro RS Tire size

« on: April 03, 2010, 08:14:15 PM »

I have purchased a 1969 Camaro RS recently and I'm looking to improve the look of the car with 18' or higher wheels and 235 or higher rubber. I'm not really into 60's corvette rims currently on it or going back to stock, but everything I‘ve read on this sight is showing a 17” rim with 215’s on them being the maximum size. I have read the back can go to 255 or even 275 but I’d like to keep the front and back the same (just a personnel preference for the look). As far as I know the suspension is stock. When looking at wheels and rims on tire sales sites they will sell you anything but I need to know what actually works. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
