Congrats on you're new purchase! I have a 66. What size tires do you have on the back- they look pretty meaty.

I found one at 0'reillys it was the same as a 1968 corvette 327.

Gunslinger, Mine is a '66 and I will try again but it seemed impossible to get my hands up there.
-
I'm just wondering how you get you're hand up to remove the speedo cable?? Mine definitely need lube as it is all over the place. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

You could do the 66 for much less. Hiring it done adds up quickly.
Rebuilt 700R4 - $1100 or so
Driveshaft - $200
TV cable & lockup switch $150
You can modify your rear mount for free and the radiator should have trans cooling already.
You can use your shifter but to select the lowerst gear you may need one off Ebay. - $100
Find a good used 700R4/4L60 trans for less and save more money.
What shifter do you use? What exactly is the "tv" cable??
-
I doubt I could do it around here for that.

That seems very reasonable.

Hi Mel- what did that run you for the 700R4??
-
Something on the order of say 245. What size tires are you running??

Good Morning, I ended up with the '66- really like it, its in pretty good shape. I think its got a semi built 327 so its peppy, its really begging for an overdrive transmission though. Tach' s 3100 at about 65 with 3.54 posi rear end. Your cars are very nice and you drive them alot it which is cool. I would really like to put some fat tires on the rear but that might be a challenge.

Ok got the new regulator in all is good charging now. $22 at o’Reilly’s. Thank you everyone for your help.
-
Bought one at O'reillys- looks perfect! Hope this cures the prob.
-
Looks like the Napa # is MPE VR142SB and the O'reilly number is 2VR4 MFG -MPI I matched it up to a 1968 Firebird. I will go when they open and match it up.

Hi everyone, having an issue with the charging system. Had the alternator checked all good. Cleaned the contacts on the regulator but still not charging. Anyone know the part # for the regulator. Thank you

Thank You- still trying to figure out which chevy engine it has. Can't see the numbers on the back or the front. Exhaust manifold numbers match up to 327. I took it out yesterday and stomped on it - Revved to 7K chirped into 2nd and took off. WOW! The previous owner passed away so info was very limited.
-
Thank you, you’re car is sweet. A friend of mine owned this car and has since passed away. It has a modified 350 not sure which one as i can’t find the numbers on it.and not much info was passed on to me. The 327 came with it just haven’t got it yet. I want to do the turner upgrade as well as the trans it’s taching 3K on the freeway. 3.54 rear end.
