Sounded weird to me as well, but if you read the packages on things these days stuff is being shipped all over it seems. For the past couple of SBC motors I've built I have used King bearings...but I...

These are brand new rods with ARP bolts. So should be good in that regard.

NOS Vandervells vs modern Clevites

I know Vandervell was making Clevites back in the 80's/90's? Am I crazy for buying a 35 year old set of NOS Vandervell main bearings over the modern day Clevites? The packaging still lists them as a...

What about in the pistons/gears of the electric seat adjuster pistons? I know the manual calls for lubriplate, but I was wondering about a general purpose/wheel bearing grease? Not sure if that would...

Maybe a dumb question, but do you all prefer the foil facing outside (towards sun) to reflect heat when you are putting roof insulation in above the headliner?

Yep, went through this last summer when I rebuilt my entire suspension. Different parts. Some of the rear bushings may be the same, but I can’t recall off the top of my head.

That’s a good point about the mice being attracted to it. Guess I’ll just keep plenty of those cedar scent bags hanging throughout 🤣

Cargo carpet/vinyl substitute

My 66 Catalina wagon had a vinyl type material over the metal cargo area. It doesn't have the metal strips down the middle, it's just fastened with screws around the perimeter. It is trashed and I...

I ended up painting mine back with a satin finish. I think it turned out alright, but it's a restoration in my garage...not an autobody shop.

That sounds good, I will definitely send you a PM. I’m not opposed to keeping an electric seat. I’d need to source a new switch. Do you think a manual seat setup from a 66 Impala would fit?

Electric bench seat value

Safe Weatherstrip removal

I need to paint my doors at some point but I’d rather do it when I have a shop in a year or two and can have the doors laid out and tore apart. Working out of my garage/driveway right now.

Reviews on the Eastwood gun seem pretty good. Maybe I'll give it a try. 2 year warranty is a little more appealing as well. Or their Concours pro seems like a good price range gun as well.

TH400 to 4L80e tunnel size accommodation
