Thanks Rick
Long road with lots of bumps. Chose the wrong builder and this was a struggle. Interior in spring.
1030010300The exterior of my 57 Bel 4 door sedan is finished. When builder attached door weatherstrip, he did not glue it in, simply pushed pins in. After polishing, I took the car through the...
Thanks Chevynut. This helps alot
Looked at PS assembly yesterday Tabasco. When you say reverse hoses, would that be at the pump, inlet to control valve, outlet from control valve, or connections at ram? Thanks in advance.
With the problem my builder has had with "figuring out how this goes together" that could very well be the problem Tabasco. Thanks for the reply.
I posted earlier that after we reinstalled a rebuilt power steering control valve on my 57 Bel the wheel would turn itself all the way to the right and I had "pulsing" in the wheel. We adjusted the...

Building 283, Power Packs, Lunati RV type cam. Goal is low end torque. Will a Holley Street Dominator single plane intake work? Can I use this intake on a street, low end engine, or do I go with...
I've decided to run long tube headers on my 57 283, and hit a snag. I now have the probelm of mounting the generator/PS pump which originally mounted to the ram horn man. I've seen brackets to...
Thanks for the help Rick and Bama. The metal I need is called the "skirt filler panel". Back to the search, but this is the final piece to the front clip!
Bought my Bel Air with front clip disassembled and have replaced splash pan, radiator support filler panels and other parts with repops. Shop is now assembling front end and have a question. Is...
Thank you for the info gentlemen!
Update on previous post from 4/18. The guy who is helping with the 283 build, and I are at serious odds on intake man. and vent system. First, he is insisting on a Holley Street Dominator intake...
Have a 283 built for my 57 Bel Air and we're having a debate on the aluminum intake setup. My buddy wants to sell my his Edelbrock (don't remember the number) that we used when we broke the engine...
Thanks to all who responded. Found two good trim pieces from axleautoparts.com Caspain, MI
My 57 is a Bel Air. Original color was Sea Mist Green (?) w/ yellow top. A very rare color combo and too bland for me. I picked black, white top two tone for the resto. Both the paints are...
Thanks for the info
