Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

I was cruising up Cemetery Lane in a silver and black 64 Bonneville convertable ,421 4 speed. My wife then girl friend was right next to me enjoying the full moon, I kept it in third to keep that mello exhaust note coming from fresh set of Hollywoods and the radio with reverb. This song came on and...

Rear steer linkages are always going to have that skittish feel to them due to the center link being under compression. Check out Pro Touring or the Nova forum.. The only way I ever got one of those cars to handle and drive nicely was to change the whole sub to the front steer 1970 F body or the 73 ...

Try Pro Touring..

If your working on a GM A body its simple. First change the ball joints to tall ball joints. Change the upper to a .9 taller and lower would get a .5 taller ball joint. Next, switch the upper control arms from side to side. This will give you an instant 8-9 degree positive caster. Make sure you set ...

Remember, the mechanical advance action also figures into the overall advance degree number when you have a distribuitor with both vacuum and mechanical..

How about the old timers who welded and then hand filed there cams!

I dont have anything yet, so I can use what ever is sensable and low priced.

I'm 65 and keeping this el Camino till the end. This car is my dream car and it was the first car I ever bought, that had everything exactly the way I wanted it..

I always bit the bullet and got the Crane Gold rockers the real good ones. I understand the Crower rockers are real strong also..

I love reading my old Hot Rod, Popular Hot Roding, Car Craft, and the Spotlight magazines. I have a 4 foot stack of magazines that I go through one after the other. I have this in my basement Laundry / shower / bathroom lol.. I always find something new. I'm reading a excellent article in the 1960 H...

Since it is power assisted, I would put the positive caster near spec. limit. This should improve steering wheel return and handling. Rear steer and all is tight ? Standard scrub radius ? Good Luck, flyingwedge. I have modified upper A-arms that give some 5,5° caster, whereas stock was a 2,75° maxi...

Set the caster to the GM max setting. Set the camber to zero. Toe in 1/32 to the cars center line on each side. Make sure you have the front wheels set for the maximum back space. Especially with that car. Call Lee and get a steering box. The steering box needs a heavier torsion bar. I have a Lee 14...

Ooops not so fast..

I was just thinking what about if it springs a leak. Hot water all over the passengers legs.

I was looking at this style of cooler. They look stronger. What do you guys think?
