Chevynut... that's a good looking 4-dr 210 you have. I like the 283 4bbl wtih 3 sp OD... nice combination. I'd update the MC and look at the brakes and DRIVE it.. :)

Welcome Will,

Tell us more about the car you're working on, and a little about yourself.. like Where are you from?

Without the front clip, it shouldn't be a problem, but I recommend putting 2x4 s under each rocker to spread out the load then use your 4x4s across them at the front and rear of the rocker. It...

I bought the Holley kit for an LS engine; I think Richard bought one for an LT1 (new LT1)..
PS. I got a 10% discount when I told them I was a veteran.. try it?

I'd call Holley and ask what they...

I love the Holley mid mount kit...

So these units have glass lenses rather than plastic??

I was in from '68 thru '72, San Antonioa for basic (March - May '68), then KAFB for training (and was selected for Technical Instructor training there and finished my tour as a training instructor...

My suggestion would be to find *original '57 wheels if possible, although wheels from '58 thru '62? or so might be compatible and also be slightly wider (which is good)..

Were you ever in the USAF, Dan? Your name matches one I knew way back... :)

CPP is likely owned by the CCP....

I doubt CPP gets many requests for 'fixes' from people who die or are injured from a failed CPP tilt column!

SID: Thanks for reposting that article. That is exactly what we were referring to...

Beware buying a 'chinese' produced "TILT" steering column, that *may* use a plastic coupler in the tilt mechanism.. the CPP tilt column is from china...

I agree with Paul, with a few caveats.... 1) tape over all seams/cracks so it doesn't get between panels, just sand those areas..
2) after stripping, make sure the stripper is removed and residue...

It's looking good Richard! :)

You want to just slightly compress the rubber mounts.. Since I'm not remembering the specific torque, I'm guessing around 15-25 ft-lbs.

Whether sandblasting is bad or good, depends TOTALLY on who did it and HOW they did it. Any joe Blow using a commercial high pressure sand blaster is NOT good, but someone who knows what he's doing...

I called my Indiana friend, and he isn't interested in selling his '56 Not a '55 HT.. His grandson has decided he wants it... :)

What model is the '57 you're considering? GOt any photos? $18K...

I've a friend in the Bloomington, IN area who did have a '55 HT in storage (needing a restoration or rejuvenation for sure). That's not very far from Troy, OH.. so if you are interested in talking...

My ONLY complaints with the Vintage Air systems are: 1) Their unit occupies the space required for a factory radio and glove compartment! (and that sucks in my opinion).. Does the Old Air system...

Long as you have it... keep spending it.. it's getting LESS valuable each day you keep it.. :)

Brian, Great work as usual from you! :)

Have you had any issues priming over, or painting over the Tamco epoxy primer??

here's an option...

I may have an NOS one... I can look if you might be interested...?

After checking: I have a 9000 unit..

Great work Brian! :)

You're being optimistic again Richard! :)
