Hey John...I just spoke to the fella that gave me the chart (page) and he said that was a magazine that lots of dealerships and independent...
All I have is a 60 Percent blackened 8 1/2 x 11...I think it was originally page 33 in Motor Service, June 82 ...whatever that is.
While trying to figure out the cause of harmonic vibrations in my 66 C-10, I had a conversation with a very elderly gentleman who once owned a GM...
Thanks Steve. The u-joints are new and in phase. I just ordered a pair of shims. Looking forward to a test drive after I install them.
With input from you guys and some research on the internet, I'm better informed about driveshaft angles and problems that surface when those...
Yes on the tach. The trans is a freshly built TH350. Rear end is a 2.73 posi. At 60mph on flat surface I'm turning 2100 rpm. I'll try your...
Thanks, John for the suggestion. I have put it in neutral at different speeds and the vibrations stop. Of course, when out of gear I let the rpms...
Now that Ratnest is basically a daily driver, I'm focused on working out a few minor issues that I can prioritize and get to one by one. I've...
I'm so glad....Christmas time is good isn't it?
I saved lots of his info to my favorites....glad I did...I too hope all is well with him. His pointers led me out of confusion many times.

My 66 is not lowered and sits pretty high...maybe because of the 89 Suburban front and rear end. The bottom of the door sills are 13" above the...
Yes...things are much better after removing powder coating material from contact surfaces on the rotors and wheels, AND coating those areas with...
Thanks guys for your advice. Today's efforts to remove the front wheels was more difficult than ever before. With hammering, kicking and...
During the build of Ratnest, I used the rear end and front suspension from an 89 Suburban. This gave me 5 lugs all around and disc brakes up...
Yesterday I hosted a "food/beverage/bench-racing gathering" in appreciation for all the help from local friends during the build of the "Rat". As...
Nothing to trade partner. Looks like my homemade shroud will work fine. Thanks for the offer though.
The thermostat is 180 degrees. My gauge shows it opens at about 190 and goes down a little. Then the temp settles in at 190 to 195 even when...
