Even if it's not stock, I may add it for the sake of symmetry, yes. It takes 2min to get everything apart.
The left pod does have a spot for a light. I cannot find a picture online of a 59 Chevy dash lit up, oddly. But yes, that is the idiot light...
At least they spec'd a clock. It may not work, but it's right twice a day.
Was the parking brake light an option on 59 Chevy sedans? I have a Bel Air that has been in the family since 1986 and is very much original and...
You all brought up really good points but I have narrowed the problem down to the distributor. I disconnected the vacuum advance which made an...
Yes the valve springs were replaced with the matching comp ones to the cam and I have a pertronix 1 so no rev limiter and I can take the engine...
The pertronix instructions says it wants a ballast resistor.
The advance works properly I know that much. I even tried changing the heavy spring to a lighter one to see if it would do anything but not much...
I have a 383 that I rebuilt last year it has flat top pistons and a 268 cam topped with a weiand dual plane and an edelbrock 1407 and a set of...
I'm not really looking for wider, but taller tires, but I've found that they can only be had with 235/75 tires and those are pricey. After all...
I need to replace the tires on my old 59 Bel-Air sedan. This car still rides on the stock 14 inch rims and has a 215/75 14 tire on it. What is the...
I run a copper layered gasket on a stovebolt, daily driven, and it has had no problems since I slipped it on last year.
Maybe the gauge is lying. My car has an SW gauge and it reads 240, it never pings though so I just drive it...
my Studebaker has a red roof and black wheels with red pinstripes on the wheels... [IMG]
It really doesn't matter how hot you run. Pressure and boiled water, not temperature are the culprits. If you can run a higher pressure cap you...
I need to install hood pins on my car, not so much for cosmetic purpose, though I do the look, but for function. I see that Summit Racing has...
Had a jet ski engine blow up because of clogged fuel lines from ethanol crap... I use it in the classics but they are driven often.
I thought they changed the bolt pattern in 58 so that the inliners, w blocks, and small blocks shared a bell housing
I am currently a senior in high school and have a plethora of automotive knowledge and experience. I am done with sports and looking for part time...
I drive a 59 Chevy with open rear everyday. No snow here but did a nice burnout last week in the rain with a 235 six! I also drive my Stude on...
My bone stock 59 Chevy daily driver has 235/3-speed/3:55 and it has been 75. I hadn't maxed it, but she will wind up for having a long stroke....
I have a 383 mopar and battled timing. Make sure vac advance is on ported, not full. Mine is at like 13 or 14 degrees advance with a 268 cam and...
727s are all over the place. I had a cracked valve body on the 68 that's bolted to the 383 in my Stude and for $125 I found a complete low mileage...
I drive a 59 Chevy 3 on tree and shifter got hung up once. So I rocked the car back and forth while trying to move shifter and it got unstuck. I...
[IMG] Taken in Macon in June. Daily driver 59 Chevy, 235 3 speed. I was cruising downtown and had the sole goal of getting stuck at a train.
It looks like a shortened 54 Stude Conestoga!
Update!!! This is from Oct. 2010. The first time I drove the Stude and broke it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJIYcW-XS58
Here in Lizella we only have the west Bibb county police substation so if something goes down they will never know. A neighbor drives his blown 68...
