Thanks guys.  I ended up getting the correct studs online.

Restoration / 67 water pump mounting bolts

« on: April 25, 2023, 12:21:54 AM »

Anyone have pics or can give direction on the correct water pump bolts and their locations for a 67 350 (L48)?  Some parts vendors show 2 studs but the 4 I removed had bolts (no studs).  Had to drill a couple out because they were frozen in the block and the heads were rounded off.

I went through the AIM but couldn’t find a diagram. 

Thanks

It seems if I grab the stud and pull it straight out, the socket holds it tight.  It is when  I pull it out at any angle, other than straight, is when it pops out with little effort.  Even just rolling the rod around and letting the studs dangle, they’ll eventually just fall out

Thanks Kevin.  I’ll give that a try and buy another one if that doesn’t work I guess.  Thank you

I’m in the process of installing a Powerglide back in my car and have noticed both ball studs at either end of my kickdown rod pop off so easily.  This is the rod that goes between the kickdown lever and the shifter.

This is the part I’m referring to: https://www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com/18467/67-68-69-Camaro-Powerglide-Kick-Down-Linkage-Rod/

This cannot be normal can it?  I purchased it a couple of years ago but it is new and never been in service.  Should I buy another to replace this one or am I missing something?

Thanks Guys

Thank you for that part number.  Can you elaborate on this: “Hard part is the install tooling; Commercial or DYI”?  Is the tool needed for this nutsert different than the common “OTC” install tools?  Thanks

Dang, it’s going to be tight getting a nut on this screw (#19 in the AIM page provided).  I can only fit one finger in the frame hole to hold a nut.

Some type insert nut would be easier for sure.

Im trying to add a radius rod to my car.  On the forward bracket, what does this tapered screw in to in the frame?  Right now I just have about a 9/16" hole, too big to catch any threads.  Is there a cage nut like the front leaf spring perch?  If so, how do I get it in?

Console floor shift.  And thanks to a couple helpful posts at TC I think I’m getting closer to my answers.

I finally found the issue.  I had a single contact bulb in a two contact socket.  Installed the right bulb and my sail panel and courtesy lights are all lit up now!  Thanks and on to the next issue

Maintenance / Keep blowing CLK-LTR/CTSY fuse

« on: February 16, 2018, 12:29:42 AM »

I keep blowing the CLK-LTR/CTSY HAZ 20 amp fuse.  While trying to track down the problem and instead of burning through fuses, is there another way to test?

I thought it was the door jamb pin switch because the threads are stripped so I put a nut on the backside of the switch and cleaned the paint around the switch but it still blows the fuse.
