I’m new to forum and don’t know if I’m in the right place, but here goes. I’m replacing my 1970 crank window with power ones. When I mounted the new “replacement power window regulators” the holes didn’t line up to existing holes. Do I need to drill new holes in regulator to make fit or send back for another part. Hole is about a quarter hole off

try two at the same time ! lol , just did a engine rebuild with a little upgrading and a 2300 stall converter on my white L82 .... My black L82 received a 2300-ish stall torque converter and close ratio gear set for the 700R4 , it never ends

Hi Eric, you made me laugh with your black and white L82 story. Some years back, my wife was dd a '75 Hurst/Olds, white with a 455. I bought another one - this one black with a 455 (they made them in black or white). I told her she should take mine to an evening church meeting for the women in our congregation. When she got back I asked her what she thought. She said "It's nice, but mine's faster". Motor and trans were out of the black one that weekend..........................we still laugh about that. Best, Paul

I thought mine was close to being non-needy but last year, while trying to get my 1972 442 ready to paint, the power steering started leaking. At one point, I had the couple other leaks fixed but now the PS starts up. Well, it's just sitting there with a drip pan under it and if I ever get the homemade spray booth built, I'll change spots of the two cars so I can get the Vette up on the two post to see what the problem is. I hope it's just a loose fitting but who knows. But then, during this time, I'll be painting, buffing and reassembling the 442.

I often think what my 69 will look like when its finished from a complete frame off restomod restoration. I have the restoration creep affect (keep adding other mods along the way). After it is done (relative phrase), I plan to start on my 71. I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever get to the 71.
