It makes perfect sense why they should face dome up.

And they are installed dome up, not down like many cars that roll into my shop.

Quote from: OldFordGuy on March 15, 2026, 08:31:44 PMPretty original car, from the original owner, been sitting 27 years. Lifetime Arizona car. Battery tray is toast, so I'll replace that but otherwise it's pretty solid. Plan right now is just to repaint the air cleaner and the valve cover and probably paint everything else with black Rustoleum and a foam brush. Found this orange P up on the firewall, I'll try and preserve that somehow. New to Camaros so any advice you guys have about how to make it look like factory would be appreciated. No luck so far in scrubbing off the white paint to get back to that factory blue.

ETA: They sure were sloppy with that seam sealer back in the day, eh?
Painting the engine bay with Rustoleum and a foam brush is hackwork. Clean it and leave it as is.

Just take it apart and replace the actuator rod. Simple.

You'll pay a higher price at a dealer. That car has a few issues and that's just quickly going by pictures. Missing parts, incorrectly installed parts, No fan shroud, wrong fan. At what temp does it run. Engine specs? What rear? It's crucial to have someone inspect the car that knows bodywork. I just took in a car that has 175 miles on a fresh build and have to redo poorly done bodywork for the new owner. I wouldn't give you $60K for that car.

That looks like a "C" on the trim tage which is Ermine White, or a poorly defined G. You can buy the correct trim tag rivets. I've done this with cars that rolled in the shop. One now has the wrong rivets which I'm replacing. Six cylidner car with lot of performance mods and non factory parts so it won't matter. I don't understand why people remove the tags unless smoothing or replacing the firewall.

KYB Gas-A-Justs are like a steel rod and are very harsh. I've thrown them in the garbage. KYB Excel Gs are stock replacements and provide a comfortable ride.

Restoration / Re: Shock plate parking brake mounting

Could be an aftermarket plate made incorrectly or the bracket not formed correctly. Or both. And some reproduction plates have incorrect shock tab angles which misaligns the shock. I have plates in storage and can't remember if original or not.

If it's old paint or product I wouldn't worry too much about lead. Lost track of how many cars we've stripped with lead paint. Wear a mask. I have a clean bill of health.

Try Steele Rubber. I've spoken with them about a 57 Chevy I'm doing.

1 each in the trunk rear corners & one in the rh front fender

Should be four. One in each corner. Best of luck finding #4! They do still turn up once in a while (but scarce)
There are six different listings on Marketplace now for cocktail shakers. And that's just in new england.

This is an old thread but I am looking for a mint set of N96 wheel covers and seeing some that look black and some that look silver.
I believe the 66-67 ones had a raised center part compared to the older ones but not sure if I need black spokes or natural
They've been on Marketplace often in the last six months. and as recently as yesterday. I'd have to locate the ad.

Maintenance / Re: Tach repair

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.
