Garage Talk / Garage door security
May 07, 2021, 12:26:55 PM
Let me start by asking if anyone has used this product or something similar? It attaches to the top panel of the door and the door header to prevent the door from being pushed in and a coat hanger from tripping the opener release.

FYI. And the reason I'm asking if you didn't know already, 6 seconds to break in.

Yes it happened to me, the only reason they didn't get in was the type of release on the opener. It only releases if pulled straight down, coat hanger won't work. They tried so hard they bent the door panel AND the metal bar that runs the length or the door. I also use the slide bar through the rail and pad lock that as well. Just putting it out here, don't think it can't happen to you. My Camaro was stolen once and recovered and almost a second time, sheet metal screw in ignition switch. It didn't work. Thank you hood locks. This was the 3rd maybe even 4th attempt.

Did the '68 302 pulleys have a letter suffix after the number?

Maintenance / What's up with this hose?
April 16, 2020, 09:28:45 AM
68 Z 3892650 hose. Hose seems a little too long. Does anyone have a straight end to end measurement for this. Or am I missing something?

Maintenance / Ignition switch wires
April 02, 2020, 03:51:14 PM
I need to know what colored wires go to which terminals on the ignition switch. I think I figured it out but need to be sure. I think I have it figured out but not sure of the pink with black stripe and the green.

Restoration / Cowl induction air cleaner base tube
March 30, 2020, 02:05:09 PM
Does anyone know if the tube for the right valve cover on the base of the cowl induction air cleaner is available anywhere? It's for a Z/28, not shown as a separate part in the AIM.

Maintenance / Push rods, which end up?
March 11, 2020, 09:11:23 AM
Just checking but I believe the one on the left, end with the open tip, would go to the rocker arm.

Maintenance / Holly choke
December 17, 2019, 05:05:55 PM
I've got a 750 Holly with a mechanical choke. How is that converted to work with the intake manifold set up on the 610 intake. Or is electric the way to go?

Restoration / 302 vacuum advance
March 06, 2019, 06:31:34 PM
I've been looking for a vacuum advance for my 68 302. A lot of obsolete numbers out there. Original should have a B-13 stamp, latest I read was a B-28 worked. The GM 1973437 went obsolete the 1116163 was used then replaced by 19138050. Are these will fits or will they work with a 302. Has anyone bought one from Ricks or Camaro Central and are they stamped with a Bxx? I went through a lot of threads and looking for something current.

I'm rebuilding my steering column, non column shift, and can't locate this gourmet or insulator. Does anyone have a source or a shade tree fix?

Garage Talk / Welder won't feed wire
January 05, 2019, 04:53:14 PM
Anyone have the problem of no wire feed? I've got a Eastwood MIG 135, pull the torch trigger and the gas solenoid clicks but no power to the wire feed motor. Any help would be appreciated.

Restoration / Repair or replace fenders
April 06, 2018, 06:28:04 AM
I'm debating whether to repair or replace the front fenders. How do the fenders that are made now fit and look. I got a dash panel from AMD and was really disappointed with it. My original fenders are rusted out at the bottom and have a couple of small dings that need some hammer and dolly work and of course the blasting for surface rust. I'm a mechanic not a body man. Just to have someone do the patch would cost as much as a new fender.

Restoration / panel adhesive
April 23, 2016, 12:44:04 AM
I've never used a panel adhesive and want to use it on the dash panel to cowl on my '68. Would 50ml be enough?
#20
'68 with front disc brakes. Were different vendors used for the hubs? Both have GM bolts attaching the rotors but the head markings are different and one hub is machined around the od on the seal side. I thought one might have been replaced but then the bolts for the rotors should been the same on both sides.

 It's not mine and it's not a Camaro but a big block blower, not a blown big block.  Kinda cool.

Restoration / Seam sealer
February 07, 2014, 09:13:18 PM
Any recommendations on which sealer to use. Some reviews say the Eastwood never cured or the two part was to watery. 3M Fast and Firm or is there something else. Brush on or caulking gun application? I'm not looking for original factory look, just a good seal.

Originality / tie rod paint codes?

Is there any significance to the paint markings on the tie rod ends?

Maintenance / Manual steering box seals
September 24, 2013, 10:23:45 PM
Does anyone have after market seal numbers for a '68 manual steering box? $35.00 for a couple of seals seems a bit pricey, half that amount would should be more like it.
