I’m curious on the pulley wobble. How do I determine the the source . I removed the pulley with a puller. The shaft seems straight .
Can we get back to the PS pump? I got the reservoir off and pounded out the dent. However while I was banging out the bolts the holes got wallowed...
So what should I do about the dent?
[ATTACH] So I was able to use a pipe and get more leverage to rotate it. It’s clear now. Does anyone know how to remove the pump reservoir case? I...
Yeah the tires are old but good tread. That’s why I was thinking of getting a spare wheel. In case of a blow out.
That’s a good idea . So the ps pump is from a ‘60 which uses a 44” belt. The belt I currently have is for a ‘63 which is 36”. That’s 8”...
Yes it pivots to tighten but it’s at the tight zone already.

Regarding the cragars they do have some rust. I tried using extra fine steel wool but it didn’t remove it. Any suggestions? Thanks
I’m set for home jacks. I was thinking about when I’m away and AAA lags. I can change the wheel in a pinch. I still need to get a spare cragar...

So got that add on pulley and it worked. I wish I had the same advice from chevytalk and facebook because I wouldn’t have wasted $75 on the wrong...
Okay that makes sense now. So my next question is : the pump is from a ‘60 . I don’t have the bracket yet. If I have to I’ll buy whatever is...
Okay I’ve got the single pulley . I just bolt another single to it or what?
[ATTACH] Hey guys I’m adding an original gm factory PS to my 63 impala. I got a double groove pulley for the ps pump that fits on the bottom. When...
Hey guys I was redoing my suspension and the upper control arm bumper didn’t get installed when I put the coil spring. Is there a way to install...
I heard about the hubs cracking on cragars because of carelessness. Also the cost of balancing at a shop. I’m also Po, a step down from poor.
So is the whole point of the beads is to bypass using balancing machines and bubble balancers?
Glass beads? Wth how do I do that?
Hey guys I just got my 1st set of cragar ss wheels. I mounted them myself with older tires. I also got a bubble balancer from Amazon & stick...
Yeah that was on the ground. The shocks are KYB gas adjust. So I guess the tighter I make the nuts the less travel the shock will have?
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Hey so i installed all new front suspension on my 63 impala. It feels bouncy. It has new springs & shocks. How tight...

The pig tail is 1/4” from being in the pocket. I used a strap wrench to rotate the coil as close as I could to the pocket.
That’s what I thought. I’m gonna have my wife hold the spring assembly while I Jack up the A-arm in case anything happens I don’t get hurt.
