Maintenance / Re: Tach repair
« on: March 15, 2025, 03:27:57 PM »
Speedo issue could be the cable. How did you determine the speedo is defective? Tach may need a filter if it worked with points and not HEI. Or you wired it incorrectly. Lot of rebuilders out there. Do a search, ask other people. I used Bob's Speedo once.

Glen-Ray has done radiators and heater cores for me as well.

Mild Modifications / Re: Big Cap HEI Distributor in Small Block 68 Camaro

I was looking at Lectric Limited's conversion kit: https://www.lectriclimited.com/product/breakerless-se-electronic-ignition-conversion-7/
The Crane set-up looks interesting.


I've seen an HEI squeezed in there, but I think how much room depends on the engine mounts.
I put that on a customer's car and the builder ran it on the dyno. Generally he uses Crane. I'd use Breakerless if and when I get rid of the points distributor I've been running for over 75K miles. It's only one wire so it appears more stock for those who prefer it, which does not concern me.

Looks good.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the great information.
I tried to reply to your message but this site is still smoked. "Resource Limited" Messages do not go through. Tried many times.

I know what William was saying. The consoles I sold were not repro and were ivory painted black. Over 30 years in storage. I paint for a living and they were not black painted over another color.

Consoles were molded in black plastic. Only the lid and ash tray cover were painted.

Green, blue and red consoles were painted to match.
I recently sold an original 68-69 console and the plastic was ivory, not molded in black.

Originality / Re: Need Help Identifying This Hole
« on: December 11, 2024, 02:16:31 PM »
The factory used a torch to cutout the 4 speed transmission hole in the floorpan

Again, no.
69s were torch cut. 67 and 68 were punched with a reinforcement ring spot welded underneath.

The original trim was aluminum with Bright-Dip anodizing.  Very few shops will do the Bright-Dip for hobbyists.  As always, it depends on how much you want it to look original and how much you want to pay.  Some try to polish and then clear coat it.  The results are nice, but not original looking IMO.  Dennis Barnett Classic Molding Restoration did mine but not sure he still does it.  Be prepared for $$ and over a year wait time.
Negative. The moldings the OP is referring to are stainless with flash chrome. Other moldings on the car are aluminum. Plenty of palces restore it. I've polished my own after dent removal. Now I have customers send it out.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: Caveat Emptor...not as advertised

The carpet and interior both look blue to me.   Look at the trans tunnel carpet in front of rear seat. 
The pics and ad we were referring to are gone. Thread is six years old.

General Discussion / Re: Replacement door glass etched dated with logo?
« on: September 27, 2024, 04:34:08 PM »
I've read that the curvature or repro side glass is not correct. May want to get a report on the most recent glass. I have a pile of original window glass that I just can't seem to throw out. Sick of looking at it.
There are places that will buff some imperfections successfully but you're going to burp for it.
