1975 Coronet wagon, extreme base model. Like kind of surprised it has the 360 under the hood kind of base. Buddy of mine found it late last year parked in a barn where it sat since 1986, he bought it thinking it was a 9 passenger but it's only a 6. He got it running and driving, shockingly the...

You know, this thing is so new to me that I didn't realize the tank was behind the quarter. Crap. This complicates things lol.

Afternoon, been awhile since I was here last! Found a running, driving 75 Coronet wagon for a really great price that is in desperate need of a new gas tank. The stock replacement for it runs dang near 800 bucks up here in Canada, but in doing some research I believe I can get an earlier b-body...

Anyone here know what the deck clearance on a 400 is? Mine is running absolutely perfect right now, just planning ahead for some future mods and don't feel like tearing a head off just to check. I've heard 3 numbers, .125, .121 and .080 below the deck.

Any updates Doug? Thinking about the same cam for my 400 build and would love some first hand reviews!

Turns out he just can't read, 2.71's it is.

I need him to take a picture of the tag as he's 100% sure it says 2.14, I'm sure either he's looking at the wrong thing, or he needs to lay off the sauce while working on the car.

A friend of mine swears that his 76 small block Cordoba has 2.14's in the rear, I've looked everywhere and can't find any mention of such a tall gear available in these cars. Is he mistaken or is Google just failing me on this one? That thing must accelerate at about half the speed of smell.

The more I look at it, the more I think the car saw a lot of gravel roads in the past. The front 3/4 of the car has quite a liberal coat of original undercoating still left, whereas from about the axle back, it's quite sporadic and virtually non-existent around the bad area. When I'm finished...

Totally salt free lol, it's the only spot that's rotten on the whole underside of the car, it's bloody weird. Measured the area the other night and it's roughly an 8x8 area that's shot. I'm thinking that it got packed full of mud somehow as it looks like it's rotted from the inside out.

So I was under the rear of the Cordoba the other day getting ready to put the new shocks on and as I slid out from underneath it, I noticed something off about the rear leaf spring perch on the drivers side. It was getting dark so I grabbed my flashlight and what I saw made my heart sink. The...

There's a strategically placed dent on the inside of the tube that'll be closest to the starter, but I've been so busy at work the last couple of weeks I've had no gumption to get them on yet. They mentioned nothing about having to run a mini starter with them, so hopefully there's enough...

Just checked out the price at Summit, the ceramic coated Flowtech are $357 right now. Looks like I bought mine just at the right time, I paid $139 and when I looked this morning they have gone up to $174.

Well, got my Summit G9041 headers in the other day along with their universal 2.5" x-pipe kit. For being such cheap units, the headers are amazingly well built with extremely thick flanges at the head as well as the collectors and very good welds. Two of the tubes are also dimpled for steering...

No way in hell will a 14" fit on the front. The rotor alone is 11.75" diameter. My Cordoba takes the same rotors and it won't take a 14" up front.
