I went to advance and picked up a few things for the '67.

The one guy told me I could go to GM and still get the parts to rebuild mine (I just took the new one.) I also changed my thermostat from 195 to 180. Cleaned up my tailight buckets for paint.... little things 
I needed to decide to continue my quest for a new 5 lug rear end (that hasn't been going well) or replace my new 5 lug spindles with ECE 6 lugs. Pulled the cover on the rear end. Clean as a whistle and no signs of wear..... Cleaned up and painted the cover and bolts and put 'er all back together with a new seal and gear oil. Two days and she didn't drip  I must have done something wrong  Guess I'm going with the 6 lug rotors.
Anyone else?  |
You know if you are serious about 5-lug you can order a set of axles from summit for like $200. I put 5-lug curries in a 68 3:73 posi and I love em. It is cheaper or at least close to the same $$$ and you'll then have the more common 5 on 5 rather than the 6-lug. Either way, it is up to you, I just wanted to offer my help in our quest!! I just drove my new K5 home and cleaned out the garage as well as putting the 20's on my 454SS truck. I worked all day and watched my Steelers get into the Super Bowl, so the rest was just icing on the cake!!
