221. front end camber (score: 1)
Author: David Councill <dcouncil@imt.net>
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 15:17:50 -0600
Took the 72B in for a front end alignment. The 72B is using the front end off my old 71BGT and a steering rack that I bought off of Ebay (the one from the BGT was leaking like a sieve from the top).

I went with some off brand 175/65HR14 tires on my 67BGT to replace the 165R14 tires. They work great but in retrospect I should have gone with 175/70HR14 if I had a choice. The 70 aspect is closer to

My 72B, about 90% restored, is now officially on the road. Its been to work twice and very much noticed with its new black tulip paint job. The first time I took it to work, it was to get the front e

Actually, it does not pull specific to one side or another - it wanders. Maybe a little left, a little later it might shift a little right. Or vice versa. So I periodically have to make a slight corr

Since my 72B has had new rockers and other rust repair, I seem to no longer have an attachment point for my seatbelts. I have the one on the tunnel and the one on the back (above the backseat/battery

Sure you can remove the solenoid without draining the oil. The question is how big of a mess will result when you remove it. It would be prudent to drain the oil for that reason alone. But another th

I took my 72B for another cruise today (about 5 miles) and the overheating problem is fixed. This was where the gauge indicated the car was running just an 1/8" shy of "H" even though a removal of th

They would undoubtedly handle the paperwork for you for a nominal fee, which may not be necessary. Best bet would be to call your local Department of Motor Vehicles or whatever they may call themselv

A push rod?!! Whats that? My 67 BGT has the standard knob that hangs down - you turn it to manually rotate the odometer until all the zeros line up. Primitive but effective, as it should be. David Co

That would depend on the year of the car - or actually the specific HS4 carbs and intake manifold. The earlier HS4s (67 and older?) had a port for the advance hose on the back of the rear carb body.
