Hi all, I'm in the process of getting new front and rear (GT) valances to the paint shop. I'm bringing the old front valance to the paint shop for them to match the paint. I'm looking at the parking light "buckets" and I don't see how they come apart from the valance. Maybe I'm not seeing...

Hi all, Looking for a little guidance on my (possible) 302 buildup. For the folks who have done mods to their 302 small blocks- How might I get around 325-350 HP and 375 ft lbs of torque out of my .030 over 302? Would a roller cam and rockers, aluminum heads, headers, dual plane intake...

Hey all, I have some questions about the thing that looks like a mounting tab on the dipstick tube on the 289/302 engines. Is it supposed to just hang out there (like mine) and not connect to anything? It just doesn't look right. Does anyone know? Maybe these dipstick tubes are used on...

Hi all, My son and I pulled the engine on the CS Friday evening. All went well. After mounting the engine to the stand, then getting the heads and oil pan pulled off. It was time to see what size bores were on this ol' (69 casting date) 302. They ended up being .030" over. This wasn't too...

Hi all, I'll be pulling the engine out of the CS tomorrow night. Hmmm, probabaly would be a good time to detail the engine bay. This got me to thinking about what approach to take regarding detailing it. What I'd like to have for a finished product is a nice looking (doesn't have to be...

Hi all, Does anyone know (roughly) what a stock 289/302 engine weighs in at? (with or without the accessories on the front)? Less than or more than 500 pounds? Thanks, Jeff

Hi all, I finished the front end suspension rebuild on the CS last night. I changed out the upper and lower control arms, springs, shocks, brake calipers, pads, etc. I took it for a spin tonight for the first time. No more squeaks and noises from the front end, sweet!!! Of course it...

Hi All, My son and I went to San Fransisco yesterday for our annual trek to the Auto Show at Moscone Center. Lots of cool new cars. We even saw a 2007 CS. Here's a few pics. Enjoy. -Jeff

Hi all, Just for fun- I wanted to get opinions on what wheels/rims you'd put on your CS (if you were so inclined...price wasn't an issue, etc.)? Don't get me wrong, I tend to be a purist and like the original look of these cars. However, I really like the looks of the Edelbrock 454s with...

Hi all, I ran into a strange thing while in the process of installing the new brake line assembly (from the frame rail to the caliper) on the driver side...Stopped at the moment because of this issue!! The old part has the angle bracket mounting holes at 1.25" center to center. This also...

Hi All, I dove into the teardown portion of the front supension today. After getting the left side upper control arm off the car, I realized that the rebuild components do not match what came on the car. There appears to be two different types of shaft assemblies. One with the rubber bushings...

Hi all, This winter's project- As part of an overall bigger project of front (and rear) suspension rebuild on the CS, I'm getting ready to pull the front disc brake rotors and take them in to get them turned. I can see that the rotor and wheel bearing assembly is held on to the spindle...

Hi all, I've been thinking pretty hard about getting an '07 CS. They have really started to grow on me. One of the things that's kept me from doing it (other than I don't have an extra $30K lying around for a coupe version) is the color schemes available...(No offense to those folks who...

Hey all, My apologies if this has been brought up before, but after going through the process of car shopping with my 16 year old son awhile back, it got me to thinking- "What was your first car?" and the second question- "What was the car that you REALLY wanted for your first car?" If you...

Hey all, The other day, after accelerating from a stop sign, I heard a loud POP from the left side engine bay. At the next stop light the brake pedal didn't stop the CS like it should. The pedal basically went almost to the floor and worked a lot like a car without power brakes. I suspect the...

Not sure how authentic these are...but for $80.... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts/176179222.html
