Restoration / 68 A/C hose sleeves

« on: August 09, 2022, 03:15:24 AM »

Hello all, does anyone have a good alternative to the original sleeves on the A/C hoses? C60D4 #6, #12...#3873930 & #542944 are long since discontinued. I'd like to find something other than copper tubing wrap from a hardware store. Searched this site, and others, along with Old Air Products. Any suggestions? Also, were ribbed hoses used before 69? Thanks, trying to finish off the A/C system restoration.   10A 68,L35-TH400, with factory AC. thanks

X2 on the 3M super black...tried contact cement but it did not last more than a couple years. Maybe our desert climate was the culprit, but the 3M hasn't failed so far and its been over 20 years...

I thought the 396/Th400 shaft for 68 had in line yokes?

Here is the yoke that's on the 12 bolt now. measures out to need a 1330 joint. 1 pic shows a 1310 held in place to show issue. After all the research, I re-inspected the driveshaft. It is apparently incorrect for this car. While its length is correct, the yokes are offset, uses 1310 ujoint, and has a Pontiac TH400 yoke with a 1310 joint....as soon as I can verify what is correct, I guess I'll be looking for a driveshaft....thanks again for all the help...

Thank you sir, for your response. Not sure if yoke is original, but the 12 bolt had correct date code, and gm gears dated to match car. If both u joints on the Th400 driveshaft are supposed to be the same size/ part number, the pinion yoke seems incorrect. So, the 396/Th400 driveshaft should be 49.96" with in line yokes and uses 1350 joints at each end?

Hello all, hope someone can help me with my confusion. I've ordered u-joints from 2 different sources, based on the vehicle specifics, but when I got them, the first ones didn't fit the pinion yoke. Reordered and then they didn't fit the driveshaft yoke. This lead me to read through the CRG driveshaft report, several times along with this 14 page thread. I thought I had the original correct driveshaft, but know I don't think so. The car is a 68 10A L35/TH400 car. The 12 bolt rear has a pinion yoke that takes straps and cap screws, with 1.06 dia. bearing caps but the width is @3 1/2". Cant seem to find a u-joint with the correct dimensions. If I've read the resources right, the driveshaft should be 49.96" length, in-line yokes, with HD u-joints (at both ends?) If this is correct, I'll need a combination u-joint at the rear that has the wider, large diameter caps on one axis, and the smaller 1.06 caps with the same width on the other? The driveshaft I have is 49.96, has small standard u-joint on one end, and TH400 yoke with injection molded HD u-joint at the other. Any help is appreciated.

Hello all, not sure if this is the place for an add on, or a new post is needed. I have an 03A LOS 69,714 76 B car. Vin # shows as March 69 build. Im looking for info on the D384 stamped under the paint code. Any others with that or knowledge? It has its original engine and most components, showing as an SS/L48/M40 car. It had RS components and tail panel when we got it about 20 years ago. Wondering what the D384 is, if anyone knows? Thanks, GREAT Site! And yes, I know,,,,,YELLOW HOUNDSTOOTH? You either love it, or you hate it....Thanks again,

« on: April 07, 2019, 03:02:00 AM »

Hello all, new to this site. Great info. I think I have a tank not submitted yet, AND not listed in the compilation. I have a 10A LOS 68 L35/M40 car with a tank date code of 67 42. In addition, after cleaning it, I've discovered production marks on the right top side of a handwritten "5" over "6". If this is a duplicate, sorry. I may have missed it in reading the the 16 pages...….Thanks again, GREAT SITE!
