Hi, I missed this one the first time round...sorry! Headers are concerned with the EXHAUST ports, not the intake ports! so the big block oval/rectangular intake port issue is not what they're talking

If you think the pan is leaking, the first thing to do is make sure it's not something else! Common areas for leaks on TH350/400 transmissions are the shifter shaft seal, the dipstick tube oring, th

The original cable should work with the TH350, but it may be too short. Most parts stores have a replacement cable that should work ok, ask for a cable for an early to mid (not late) 60s Chevy picku

The price of $125 for a 70s-80s 4x4 rearend is really cheap...around here they bring about $400 these days. The 64-69 truck rearends are about 61" wide, like the 50s truck stock rearend, plus they a

The 3.73 and 3.07 gears use different differential carriers, the reason is to space the ring gear to the proper position for the different size pinion gears used. So, you need a 3.07 carrier, which

Tom-- The fuse block was an option, I think it was installed if the truck got a couple accessories installed, such as radio/heater/spotlight. One of my 59s came with radio/heater, and no fuse block,

The early (50-57) powerglides used the p-n-d-l-r pattern, starting in 58 they went to p-r-n-d-l like normal trannys. However, I really doubt there's an aftermarket floor shifter available for the iro

The 55-59 "normal" Chevy rearend did NOT come with a posi. The optional posi rearend that was introduced in 59 was actually a GMC type rearend, a Dana 45. This posi carrier will not fit the Chevy re

Hydraulic lifters actually have "negative lash", that is, you turn the rocker nut down past the point of zero lash. On a hot rod like you're working on, half a turn is usually what you want. A stock

Tom-- The temp gage on a 55 is mechanical, it should have a long tube with a bulb at the end which screws into the head. Often this tube is broken off at the gage, and you need to send the gage off
