General Discussion / Anyone is West End North Carolina 27376?

« on: September 04, 2015, 12:01:09 AM »

Hello everyone.
Do we have a member in West End NC 27376?
If so, I could use a real hand. I have found some parts to have looked at and shipped out to Alberta Canada if they are good quality.
The seller is on Craigslist and I want to make sure I avoid a scam if possible.
Anyone out there that can assist?
I am happy to cover costs to view etc.

General Discussion / Tachometer Wiring

« on: July 20, 2015, 06:53:13 PM »

Hello all.
Anyone have a wiring diagram of advice on how to wire the 1967 Tachometer to make it work with a MSD ignition?
I was running FAST EFI so the Tach sent to there on the handheld.
Now I have removed the EFI and want to wire the original tach properly and am lost.
I have a yellow and white wire, a brown wire, and the grey wire on the MSD which is the sending unit. But I am not sure how they relate, or what to send or wire up to the gauge or cluster.

Thanks

General Discussion / Rebuilt Engine Trouble

« on: July 10, 2015, 11:06:17 PM »

Need your expert advice.
Rebuilt the 350 and installed.
Now have a wobble when it is in idle and running.
Shakes and wobbles badly.
Tried everything, new wires, new carb, adjusted timing, new plugs, and it stays the same.
I am thinking that the flexplate got bent but it was never at riskof any damage.
Also started to think maybe an issue because the flex-plate seems to have a counterweight and I think it shouldn't. But the trans and engine and flexplate are the same as before. No changes.
I am stumped.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?

General Discussion / Air Conditioning

« on: June 14, 2015, 01:07:21 AM »

I am wondering if anyone out there has an air conditioning system for sale?
Would like to find a car with A/C that is being parted out if any exist. I would prefer that as opposed to Vintage Air etc.
Of course if there isnt such a thing to be found has anyone installed the Vintage Air and do you like it for use, fit and finish?


thanks

General Discussion / Cracked Cylinder Wall Help

« on: June 09, 2015, 07:04:10 AM »

Good evening everyone.
Some opinions and advice please.
Just had a crack in the cylinder #2 wall.
The FAST Easy EFI One failed, car just shut off and would not start, in fact it vapor (fuel?) locked and wouldn't crank over.
After some frustration with the EFI FAST said it needed to be sent to Tennessee for a look. So I pulled the whole fuel injection system and put a mechanical fuel pump back on. Removed the electric fuel pump and regulator.
But when i fired it up it blew white smoke and the rad emptied. I assumed it was a head gasket and changed it. But it ran rough and I knew something was very wrong. When I pulled the head again the piston was down and i got a look at the crack. (see picture).

Now I need some opinions and advice.
Is there any way that the manifold i left on after removing the FAST EFI could have over fueled the engine and caused the pressure ?
Any other thoughts on what caused the crack?
I am going to have it sleeved if possible as it is almost a perfect dated engine. Cost here is $300 to have it sleeved.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

General Discussion / 1967 Convertible switch picture

« on: October 30, 2014, 02:56:48 PM »

Can someone please send me a picture of how the convertible switch is attached to the dash area?
I want to see the screws or nut and bolts if possible.
I cannot tell from AIM exactly what to use to attach properly. Every time I do it works one way and not the other for a bad fit.

thanks

General Discussion / 700 R4 Tranny Question

« on: October 21, 2014, 07:04:41 PM »

Here is another question about the 67 rs/ss.
I have installed a 700R4 transmission but cannot find a neutral safety switch for it.
I am sure others have used this tranny. What did you do for a neutral safety?
I have wired in a old arcade button for the time being. But of course a real solution would be preferred.
Any advice?


thanks

General Discussion / Detail Help

« on: October 21, 2014, 06:15:00 AM »

Hi All;
Looking to have someone send me a picture of the convertible switch as well as the nuts and bolts used to mount it if possible.
I have looked high and low for what hardware to use to secure it and cant find anything.
I have also gone through three switches from Classic in two years. I think we have it wired direct from the battery to the switch.
Any ideas on how to wire correctly?


much appreciated.

Originality / Parts Help

« on: October 19, 2014, 08:16:03 PM »

Hello everyone.
Can you tell me the best place to buy 1967 Camaro rs/ss parts?
I have bought chrome that was beat to hell when the shop put it on, glass and hardware that fits terribly, door cranks that stripped out after a few uses.
Where do you get high quality parts?
I bought from Year 1 and Classic at various times. But the reproduction stuff seems very hit and miss.
Am I buying at the wrong places?

Any input is appreciated.

General Discussion / 1967 RS/SS Convertible

« on: April 23, 2013, 04:45:01 AM »

Hi Everyone;
I finally seem to be finished with most of the restoration on my 67 Camaro. Only thing I may do is put in a modern transmission (and keep the original).
I have a question.
How rare is the 67 RS/SS Convertible? It was a Canadian car and has the build sheet from GM.
No Protecto Plate or dealer info.
It has a date and period correct 350 engine that has been built with a mild cam.
Otherwise original. Back to Tahoe Turquoise paint as well.
How rare and roughly what would it be worth? I am keeping the car and will never sell it. But my insurance company is looking for value and I think they are pretty low.
What are your thoughts?

Hi guys;
i am in search of someone in Montana close to Sweetgrass if possible.
I have bought a dash out of a 57 Olds for my 57 Buick project but they cant ship to Canada due to oversize.
It would be great if I could find someone to ship it to and to come down and pick it up.
Please let me know if you are close.

thanks
