I am about to restore my front suspension. The front end kits come with averything including upper control arm shafts with bushings. My service manual says the upper arms are to be serviced as a...

I'd like to, but don't have much experience with swapping differentials. How difficult is it and how much (ballpark) am I looking at? I've been looking for whole rears, but even high mileage ones are...

Thanks for the help. It only spins one wheel. I will have a chance to look inside to confirm that it is a non-posi as I clean up the rear before I reinstall it. Kind of disappointed. With all this...

I'm trying to I.D. the gears. I've never known which rear I had. The car is a Skylark convertible with center console. I've had the car since 1994, and I was always curious especially now that I'm...

I am all over that axle, and the only markings I can find are stamped on the diff housing itself. Is it possible the code could have rusted over? It does have some surface rust, but nothing I have'nt...

I have a 1970 Skylark convertible, and cannot identify the rear end with my shop manual. The only number I can find is 1385724-F. This number is not on the bottom of the axle tube either. Rather, it...

I have a 1970 Skylark with a console shifter. When I removed the console for my restoration I expected to find a neutral safety switch and related wiring in the shifter, there was not a switch, nor...

Does anyone know where I can get a retainer for my parking brake cable? It looks like a cone shaped cage. It is located on the dash side of the firewall where the cable comes through the firewall...

Is anyone out there a Sun Coupe fan. I have come across one, and as it is a 72, and rough, I'm not too sure of its value. I have not seen it yet, but I would like some info about it before I do....

I was about to post an update with an FYI, but Art beat me to it. After leaving my puller under tension for about 48 hrs, and spraying the splines with penetrant a couple of times, I decided to heat...

In 1970 350's, the engine # is stamped on the front of the left bank of cylinders. The production code is stamped on the block between the left exhaust manifold, and the two front spark plugs. The...

Thanks for the help. I just wanted to hear someone else say " hit it with a hammer". Funny how you should mention auto zone. I'm not sure how to break the news to them about their cheap puller.

I am having a heck of a time removing a pittman arm from the steering gear on a 1970 skylark. Does anyone know any tricks to loosen it so I don't break a third pittman arm puller. Thanks

first you need to know the two parts. One is a body mount, the other the insulator. The body mount is the one with the tube sticking out of it. It goes tube side down on top of the frame rail so the...

I need a non-ac alternator bracket for a 71 455 if you have one

I had the same problem. I filled the holes with weld (aluminum) ground off the excess, and drilled and tapped new holes. Piece o' cake, and I'm no welder. Used ones on ebay are going for $125 and up.

I am finding out the same way you are that swaps are'nt just swaps. I am in the middle of one myself. I have located a website called americangraffiti.biz that sells a product called an AC Delete box...

I need some advice on putting a 455 into a 70 skylark convertible. I am deleting the old AC as the car is a convertible which I will drive only on perfect days, and I don't need the extra weight...

Is there a way to calculate the standard length factoring the year make and model, the engine size, and transmission model(there are several different tail shafts) or should I just measure the...

Bob-
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I am also upgrading to the TH400 trans with the big block swap. Does that make a difference regarding the length of the drive shaft? I'll tell...

I am swapping a 71 455 into my 70 skylark, until now a 350. How difficult is the conversion? will I need to cut the drive shaft? are there detents to show where to mount the new frame mounts? Are...
