    68 Console shifter details, What am I missing???

    So, I'm trying to get al of my pieces and parts to fit. Some new and some used. I just scored this cast aluminum piece that mounts to the bottom of the forward top plate with four nuts.

    P.O.S. Turn signal switch! Who makes a good one?

    So back in the 90's (Me thinks) I bought a new turn signal switch from Year One. I just put my column in this morning and found alot of things wrong with it! Anyone know of a good repo?

    Front drum wheel cylinders

    So, I'm trying to bleed my front brakes on my 68 GTX and am finding that these wheel cylinders that I bought from Rock Auto have the bleeder screw threaded hole at a bad angle. There is no room between the bleeder screw and the spindle to get a wrench on it or a hose for that matter! If the...

    1968 GTX 440 black hood callouts

    I'm looking for a pair of 440 callouts for my "X" and I see that Trim Parts has them for $109.00. The numbers look really smooth compared to the original stock ones that came with the car. Are these O.K., or does anyone make better originals? My originals look like they had tool marks on the...

    Rocker shaft education time. Nothing is easy!

    So, a while back I got a set of Crane Gold rocker arms gently used. I started thinking that I wanted a new set of shafts that were very hard as the rockers are not bushed. Soft aluminum running on a hard slick surface is ideal. Mancini has these shafts that are advertised as being hardened AND...

    Hello Everyone! Just some informational Heads-Up! I ordered a pair of Indy cast aluminum valve covers with the LOGO on them and was horrified when I opened the box!

    68 GTX trans cooler line clip on starter stud

    Anyone have a pic of the clip that holds the two lines from "Rattling" that is under the stud for the starter? I have to buy a new clip and I think mine should be the clip that gets bent over the line to secure it? I also want to know the orientation of the clip. The restoration manual says that...

    Hello all, I've been looking and can't find the answer to my question. I have a new AVS2 800 cfm Edelbrock with an electric choke. Everyone states to get the power from a "key on" ignition source. O.K., I get that, but when you supply power to the choke coil continuously, what turns off the...

    Longer Speedo Cable?

    I'm wondering if there is a longer speedo cable available for a 68 B body because the headers are really close to the frame rail and the original cable. I want to run it on the outside of the frame rail, not the inside. I even had to move the brake distribution block rearward so I don't cook...

    Copper oil pressure line routing?

    OK, I'm hoping to route this 1/8" oil line in such a way that I don't pump oil out all over my new carpet, or all over the engine compartment while I'm driving to a cruise-night! Where do you guys go through the firewall on a 68 B- body, and if you put a loop in the line close to the back of the...
