This trans did decode to 93 S-10. I wish I could find the tag so I could post up the number! Regardless, it is WC (has front "Timken" bearing...
The Camaro shaft is shorter with splines cut further down the length of the shaft, as seen in the picture. I should be able to just bolt up the...
Yep, the shafts are identical except for the spline lengths and overall lengths mentioned above. I have the Camaro shaft in the box now. Just...
I think I've concluded that is what this had been used for. All of the diagrams, pictures and videos I've viewed show nothing like this. The...
OK, three people now suggesting it is a shim for adjusting bearing pre-load under the retainer bearing race. That's what I'll go with on the new...
It is .015" thick, 2.50" outer diameter, 2.14" inner diameter. The transmission is a world class from an S10, 14 spline input shaft with GM...
Hell, I'm not sure of anything except that it fell out when I pulled the shaft. Under the bearing retainer may very well be the spot. It's...
I've searched high and low, found tons of info, but nothing addressing the assembly of the parts in the picture. I pulled the input shaft from my...
Dad's '57 fuelie. Originally white/white, painted copper with moon discs and lakes pipes after he bought it. He has said of all the cars he's...
GM said no more than .060" in 48-51 manual. Don't know that 52 would be different. Problem is they don't give a max. measurement-how do you know...
Dad's 57 Fulie-the only car he regrets not keeping...
I'm throwin in my hat. Here's when it came home and about where I'm at so far...
Ditto. If real spoke wheels a dial indicator mounted on a magnetic base will show out of round and side to side runout. I don't know what it...
Weren't you looking for a crossram for BBC a while back? Just stublemd upon this-not mine and I don't know the seller....
I searched, but didn't come up with any details on this. For those that have narrowed subframes, what did you do to compensate in the steering...

This post is similar to the way it was done on the Spike TV show "Trucks" not saying good or bad, but probably what you were remembering seeing....
1951 Chevy truck under construction, hope to have it running before winter.
Is the clip fully installed, boxed etc? If not, what about narrowing the whole thing by taking your 3" out of the crossmember and steerng linkage?
I know where one is here in an Ohio scrapyard, but it is very rough.
I'm no engineer, nor am I trying to imply that those brackets are inferior BUT That seems to be putting quite a bit of faith in the pins....
One more link- This gives a pretty good list of donor cars and some basic information, some of which has already been covered...
I'm not sure if the BJ shank taper is the same for the Camaro to the Monte, but the cast-in steering arms on the Monte spindles will not end up in...
You can also use your drum hubs and spindles, and with a little machining fit late model vette brakes. The bottom of the page shows a home made...
When I worked at Dayton Wire Wheel, they would cut out the spokes, blast the rim and hub, then re-lace with new spokes. Depending upon the...
...at least when she's in Ohio... Startin' to see a trend here!
x2 on the muriatic acid-nasty stuff I found Klean Strip brand "Phosphoric Prep and Etch" at Home Depot in the paint materials aisle $13/gallon....
Another vote for the use of phosphoric acid. My avatar 51 Chevy truck had very heavy rust. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2285825 [img]
Not the best solution, but should work if you can't get the plug outta the head, or don't have a hole there to begin with...
Soaking in phosphoric acid will eat the rust out and perhaps free it up for you. I've been using it on my 51 truck with pretty good success....
