Originality / N30 Deluxe Steering Wheel Finish

« on: March 24, 2019, 11:40:50 PM »

My father had my steering refurbished for a Christmas present as it is nearly impossible to find a N30 in good condition.  My question is whether the center piece should be semi or hi gloss.  I think it's called the horn shroud.  Same with the two buttons.

Originality / Re: 1968 dash pad trim

« on: March 24, 2019, 11:28:02 PM »

Just be careful on the reproductions.  I bought one from Al Knoch in Texas and the base of the pad was plastic and warped after less than a year.  I ended up buying one on Ebay and sending out to be redone.  Expensive lesson.

Thanks for all of the feedback. Changed the air element. Let's see how long the insulation lasts.

Must be a Big Block. They all rub with the high rise.

It must be.  I went to Pomona last week to look under Camaro hoods to see what other people have done.  No one had hood insulation.  Not one car.  The search continues for the proper base.

Are you running a drop base?

I am running the standard based to the carb that came with the car.  I assume it's a reproduction.

Maintenance / Air filter cuting into hood insulation

« on: June 04, 2016, 09:25:08 PM »

I had a K&N filter where the air filter profile is too tall.  The nut on the top of the housing has worn a hole in the hood insulation.  I purchased new hood insulation and an AC Delco stock filter.  It looks like I am going to have the same problem.  Is there a stock low profile air filter out there?

Maintenance / Power steering fluid recommendations

I have a power steering fluid leak and will be replacing the lines.  Is there any special replacement fluid I should be using or is modern standard fluid ok?

Restoration / Fan Shroud Gap Question

My fan shroud doesn't quite sit flush to the radiator.  I have the correct mounting bracket according to NPD's catalog.  Does this look correct?

What is the correct redline for a 396/350 hp engine, 5000 rpm or 5500 rpm?

Originality / 1968 RS SS INTERIOR

I am restoring my 1968 RS SS interior.  What is the best resource to find out what came standard as far as door panels, gauges, seats?  I know options were available on everything., but I am looking for a solid base.  Thanks in advance.

This helps me out.  I guess I need to invest in an AIM.

Restoration / 1968 Fuel Line

« on: October 13, 2010, 01:34:26 AM »

I am looking for a picture of how the pump to carb fuel line should look on a '68 396/350hp motor with a Quadrajet.  I bought a fuel line from NPD and it seems like it is aligned too close to the block and valve cover.  Thanks in advance.
