The cowl on all 57s is the same including Nomads. And it's different from 55-56.

So you remove the CC with a razor blade. Then you still have to deal with the base coast, then repaint using base and clear.

Edelbrock has a tuning guide for their carbs showing the relationship and dimensions of the metering rods and jets. It is available online.

Unfortunately, if your clear coat is falling off, it's time to start over with a complete repaint.

Yes they did.

Before checking the starter, check the battery.

East Coast Chevy should have what you need.

Stock system for a 55 vents both ways.

Depends on a couple of things. If you have aftermarket upper control arms you might be able to get a wrench on the bolt head. Also you could tack weld the bolt head to the frame.

Simply said, your "vented cap" is not venting.

That would be correct.

A 7" single diaphragm booster is pretty weak, almost no boost. A double diaphragm 7" would be only a slight improvement. An 8" double diaphragm booster is what you need.

Rear disc will be only...

Looks pretty darned good.

The only thing I'd add as a goal is to have 1/4° more caster on the passenger side. This would compensate for the typical crown in the road.

It is normal to be able to remove the key from the ignition switch with it in any position.

You definitely have "metric". Metric was used on early 80s Malibu and similar cars, as well as many years of S10 pickups and similar vehicles.

It doesn't surprise that some had SAE threads on...

I would speculate that there is more than one bellhousing casting number that works. But I don't know that for sure.

I questioned something AAW was doing on a forum once, and the rep really got defensive and hostile. As long as you worship what they say, they'll be nice to you. They are "my way or the highway"...

I used to see a lot of these at swapmeets. May still. They look somewhat similar to a 55-57 passenger car bellhousing and many were bought mistakenly - and brought back to the swapmeets to sell...

There is really nothing special about a VA system relative to systems on other cars except that it fits your car. So anyone that's skilled with automotive a/c should be able to work on it.

You have a master cylinder built for either manual brakes or a 60s booster. Get one for a 70s and later power booster. I think a 72 Chevelle one with power brakes would work for you.

Looks to me like that master cylinder has a large front reservoir/small rear reservoir. Big/little is not Corvette style, it's Chevelle style.

Get the caliper anchor spacing posted up and then we...

I "think" what you have is a metric caliper (D154), but it's easy for me to make a mistake in id'ing that from many photos. It would have a 2-3/8" bore. To verify measure the distance between the...

Try Alan Grove Components. Be prepared to tell them whether you have stock style front engine mounts or not, and whether you have a short water pump or a long one.

Me too on H&H.

I don't think any of the "good" Danchuk dealers were sourcing non-Danchuk parts through Danchuk. I.e., ones that had inventory, customer service, and decent pricing. That's...

With inboard springs and a 22 gallon tank, it's certainly going to require custom exhaust. There won't be an off the shelf solution to be sure.

With the inboard springs, there's really no way to...
