After installing the orrrong’e headers, it was time to load it up on the trailer. Now for my tow test, can the new Canyon pull this stuff easily or not? We’ll have a pretty good idea after the upholsterer, followed by another quick trip to the exhaust shop.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
While the car was gone it was time for some lift maintenance. Look what showed up, a brand-new ram for our old 4-post. Apparently, I contaminated the old cylinder after enclosing the lift and using it as a paint booth (Seemed like a good idea at the time! ). http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=438
Or perhaps it was sandblasting stuff in the proximity either way it developed a pretty good leak and couldn’t reach the highest setting. When we moved the lift this last time, I sent the cylinder out to be repacked. It came back better but still leaked a bit, they told me the inner rod was damaged on one end so the top setting was still an issue. Decided to pull the trigger for a new ram before I could no longer get a replacement for the extra long, extra tall Eagle. Upholstery update, Mike has the headliner in and it looks great! He’s still working on the other stuff but is close to wrapping that up also. At the same time, I’ve decided I need to change out the lower alternator bracket on our good-to-go 511. Here are some BBC short water pump alternator lower bracket differences (circled). The idea is to move the alternator forward to give more room for the taller M/T valve cover setup. This bracket will swap belts front to rear (alt. belt in front, water pump belt in back) it also changes the upper bracket to mount to the rear instead of the front of the alternator. It is the correct bracket for an early 396/427 with a short pump and manual steering.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I’ve had this Eagle lift for nearly 20 years in 3 different indoor locations, the first being a storage unit that had power. With the new ram it works like new again, and can hit the top spot with no problem.

Re: 67 Camaro Build
It’s back from upholstery and still on the trailer. They knocked it out of the park, looks great!

Re: 67 Camaro Build
I ran outta picture room on the last post. Here’s a couple pics of how the front seats are looking. The driver’s cover is aligned and both seats latch as they should. Very pleased with the work and turnaround time from Mike at Wasatch Upholstery.
Back at the muffler shop for a different rear hanger arrangement. The shop owner Tage, went through the trunk floor the first time (link). He’s a pretty talented guy so we’ll see what he comes up with this time. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...&postcount=288

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Wow, that exhaust shop wouldn't exist in most states anymore, having a huge, open pit like that. I'm surprised "big brother" hasn't required a 6' high fence and locked gates around it.
The left seat looks great, good they were able to pull the 2 parts in alignment. |

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Curious why he didn't just use the original hangers and mounting locations in the floor behind the mufflers and outside frame rail hangers for the extensions. Yes, it would require modifying the brackets for the elephant trunk size pipes, but the locations and brackets are right where they need to be.
I thought I had a pic of my exhaust with original hangers, but can't find it now. |
