I had a similar problem with mine, but it would only purge so much..seems they like the rad being an inch or so low.. Brett

I put the metal strips into my 64 and they look great...they have a real good sparkle to them. Only thing is with the 3M product, is be ready...I used wooden laths to cover front and back, And a lot of pistol grip type clamps to ensure a tight bond with no damage to the trim itself.. I have...

You don't say what year you have, but here are some pics of my 64 with factory windows. Hope that helps Brett

Its probably kinda a rare car you have there...I know my 64 SS409/340/PG is, according to GM historical services here in Canada, "one of less than 37" made with this combination,no idea on how many 63's (or how few) non SS's were made..seems everyone was after the 4 spd...fine by me:) Its too...

I kinda did it all at once myself..I did the sheet metal replacement whil the engine and tranny shops did their thing. I then put the engine and tranny in the frame, ran some of the exhaust (coulda run it all I s'pose..), got the rear end sorted out, Then put the body on. I probably never...

When I replaced the floor pan in my 64, I used a full one piece pan. I had the body off, and on a rotisserie, the new pan included the inner rocker panel and the only way I could get the new pan in was by removing the wheelhouse to rocker brace and sliding the entire pan in from the rear.Note...

Nice options....PICS! Brett

will give it a try...I seem to remember screwin with it a bit, but I thought I got it back where it belonged..:crazy Thanks Brett

Hi I have a 409/340/pg combo, everything rebuilt in one way or another, I don't have a tach, but it seems to me the car shifts at quite a low rpm.I may be able to run my timing light into the car for an actual rpm, but ultimately, it really seems to be shifting just as it gets into the power...

Thats why I'm askin here...might have been born yesterday, but it wasn't last night..:D Brett

Hey all I have the motor out of my car fixin a couple of leaks, and I'm thinking about finding a local shop to dyno it while its out.. Any questions I should be asking of the perspective shops? I am absolutely clueless about the procedure so anything helps. Thanks Brett

I've got a freshly redone 64 SS w/ 340hp 409 pg, and have had some weird things going on.. When first redone, I noticed the alternator bracket was wearing a spot in my hoods rib..I touched up the paint, put on a longer belt(lowering the bracket) and thought I was done. As I have been driving...

Here are some shots I took...keep in mind, the brake lines are intertwined a bit.. Hope that helps, Brett

The 64 340 used a different ballast resistor.. different Ohms for sure.In catalogs it will probably just be listed as standard, whereas the 400/425 hp models will be listed as high perf..(made that mistake...anyone need a hi perf Ballast??) The hose goes from the road draft tube to the air...

Follow up Well been through a bit, and think I got it figgered.. The car started "overheating" on the highway too...would show hot when I was cruisin about 70mph, then light would go out after a minute or three of 60mph. I removed the stat, and the green light would stay on longer, and in...
