General Discussion / Re: SS350 3 speed production figures

« on: February 23, 2006, 06:41:34 PM »

My first '69 SS350 was originally a 3 speed car but it already had a saginaw 4 speed installed when I got it. I yanked that crappy trans out and installed a muncie with a new Hurst shifter real quick. I never had the joy of driving it with the 3 speed. The car is to supposed to be in the Athens, GA area and I still keep in touch with the guy that has the original 3 speed for the car. I'd love to reunite the matching number trans to the car.

Except for sending it to "Just Dashes" for a restore, I would also like to know how to correct the "curling" and separation.

Restoration / Re: Repop spiral shock absorbers

Years ago I sold a pair of used, original rear shocks from my '69 Z/28. They still had life in them and I wish that I had kept them now. My current Z/28 is missing the original rear shocks but it still has the original fronts. They don't ride too bad. So, the repro spirals are not recommended for occasional driving?

I don't believe the actual tank would have been black from the factory but it may have been undercoated at the dealership.

If they are Wide Oval, they are Firestone. They would be the same size regardless of manufacturer - E70-15.

Hey John, I had no idea that some of the gas tank straps were black. You never know when you may learn something new.

Noone knows how many were made in '69 but there were more of them made than in '67.

Maintenance / Re: Hissing brake booster?

Change the check valve first and if that doesn't fix the leak you may need to have the booster rebuilt. Get someone to help you figure out exactly where the air is escaping.

I'm not talking about posting my photo in a discussion thread, I'm referring to the three photos on the home page. One of the administrators posts member submitted photos for the page. Who is it?

I've got a decent new photo of my car. Who do I send it to for placement on the home page?
