    SOLD 1969 Super Bee

    Real 1969 Super Bee, originally a 383, 4 speed, bucket seat car. Now, a 440 six pack, dynoed at 520hp, 5 speed car. Paint is in great shape, no filler,(will pass your magnet test). Interior very nice. Car has 4:10 gears. This led me to change to a Tremec TKO 600 5 speed last year. Makes the car...

    440 Shakes too Much

    I have a 440 6pack in my 69 Bee. Supposed to have dynoed around 520hp. When I got the car it had a homemade torque strap on it, using a turnbuckle and connected behind the power steering. Just had Vintage Air installed and new brackets and pulleys. That didn’t leave room for the torque strap...

    Rear Sway Bar

    I have a 1969 Super Bee that has 1 1/4 front sway bar, Bilstein shocks. Thinking of adding a rear sway bar. I see them from Summit, PST, Hellwig, QA1, Firm Feel, Hotchkis, etc. Any suggestions on which one to go with. Hollow or solid? Tires are 275/60/15 on back, 225/70/15 on front. Maybe 3/4 inch?

    1969 Super Bee Horn Doesn’t Work

    My horn doesn’t work. Haven’t yet started to diagnose it, but some have said it’s missing a horn. Should have 2, but, has only 1. Is this 1 horn just on Coronets and not on other B bodies? Seems Chargers have 2.

    Hood pin plates scratched

    My hood pin plates are getting scratched up. I think they are just aluminum. Is stainless the way to go? And where do I get them?

    Front Sway Bar

    Ok. Probably a silly question, but, I’ll ask anyway. I have a aftermarket front sway bar, probably done 18 years ago. While working on new brakes, some have questioned to angles being different where the ends connect. Thinking that it may be on upside down. The bar has a slight vee shape in the...

    Master Cylinder

    I’m putting in front Wilwood disc on my 69 Super Bee. The Wilwood master is a bit pricey. Should I just suck it up and get it, or just get a stock type m/c?

    1969 and 1970 Coronet Dash

    I’m putting a Vintage Air kit in my 1969 Super Bee. Of course, it’s a non a/c car, so the vents in the center will go under the dash. I came across this dash panel and vents on Classic Auto Air. It’s for a 1970 Coronet. Classic says they don’t think it would work for 1968 or 1969. Looks to me...

    Removing Dust Boot from Bilsteins

    I was replacing my Monroe Gasmatics with Bilstein shocks. Problem is the shocks are extremely close to my exhaust. The Monroe’s were all metal, but the Bilsteins have a plastic dust cover that it is right next to the exhaust. Can I just cut off the plastic cover or do I need to get different shocks?

    Cooper Cobras or Mickey Thompson

    Finally decided what size for my Super Bee. 275/60/15 on the rear and 225/70/15 up front. It looks like the Cobras and MT are close to the same, both owned by Cooper. Cobras are easier to find, and a hair cheaper, but I’m leaning towards the MT from Summit. Seems like MT is meant for Weld...

    Low mount Compressor Bracket

    I am looking to add a/c to my 69 Super Bee 440 6 pack. looks pretty tight with the big air cleaner and the compressor. I like the compressor on the passenger side and alternator on the driver's, but, looks like that can only be done with a serpentine set up, and I don't have enough room for that...

    Vintage Air Install Cost

    Been thinking about Vintage Air for my 69 Super Bee. Looks like about $1800 to buy, but how much is a fair deal for install? Got first quote, and he said around 40 hrs, about $3000. Seemed a bit high to me. I thought a guy who has done a bunch of these would be a bit faster. Any experience on this?

    Best place to get a TKO600 conversion for a B-Body

    I have been looking into changing my A833 in my 69 Super Bee to a 5 speed. Running 4.10 gears, I could really use that extra od gear! Looking at kits. So far, American Powertrain, and Silver Sport, have sent me quotes. Any other place to get a quote? Or does anybody know a lot about Tko installs...

    11.75 Inch Rotor Options

    Looking to do the 11.75 brake upgrade to my Super Bee for my 15 inch Prostars. Dr Diff has a nice kit, but been thinking about some upgraded rotors. Any suggestions, or should I just go with the Dr.'s kit? Maybe zinc coated?

    Stock vs Aftermarket Disc Brake Conversion

    Been looking at a front disc conversion, probably keep drums in the rear. Getting a bit confused. Wilwood and other 4 piston calipers look cool, but, seem to have thinner, lighter rotors and calipers. May be great for weight savings, but, my car is a driver, cruiser, not a race car. I just want...

    Gearvendors overdrive or Taller Gears

    I have a 69 Super Bee 4 speed that has been converted from a 383 car to an A12. 8 3/4 rear with 4.11 gears.440 6 pack dynoed at 520hp. Awesome pull, but a little wound up going down the highway. Looking to make it a bit more drivable, as I don't really race the car much anyway. But, an A12 would...
