There is a 64-66 kit, a '67 kit, and a 68-72 kit. They are all the same price. The kits are definitely less expensive than buying the individual parts piecemeal. John Nasta Quoting "J. Brady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hey John is that advice the same for a '66 conversion? Regarding the over

AFAIK the tranny humps are on backorder. There is a complete pedal/linkage kit available that is well worth buying because the individual parts add up to much more $$. John Nasta Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm going to convert to a 4 speed next spring on my 68 SS. Right now I'm trying t

I'm going to convert to a 4 speed next spring on my 68 SS. Right now I'm trying to get all the parts I'll need for the swap. I found a little information on this swap on team Chevelle. In the article it said I would need to add a metal hump to the transmission tunnel. Any body know where I can get

Pelle, It sounds like a combination of two things... First the fuel is either leaking back into the tank, or draining into the intake, leaving the fuel bowl empty. Second it sounds like your choke isn't working properly. That would explain why it runs fine after it warms up, but dies if you try to

Pelle, My El Camino does the same thing if it sits a week or so between fire ups. I think the fuel drains back to the tank and the carb dries up. I set the choke and spin it over for awhile and get impatient and pump the accelerator. This seems to flood it. Once I get it running it runs grea

I was trying to determine if you had fuel in the carb bowls after the car was sitting & before you crank it. How about remove the air cleaner after the car has been sitting a while.   Open the choke plate as wide as possible.  With a good flashlight look into the carb and try to see if it

I've adjusted the float levels & checked they're not overflowing! I've tried to give the carb a couple of squirts with the acc pumps before i crank it but I can't really say it makes any difference. I've got 7 psi to the carb but that doesn't guarantee that it get's enough fuel? Does it? I'l

  Is the gas draining out of the carb? Next time pour a small amount of gas into carb before you crank it.   If it starts right up, or at least fires over, you have a fuel problem.  Could be taking 5 minutes for fuel pump to get gas to the float bowl. On 8/15/06, Pelle Andersson <[EMAIL PROTEC
