Amazing. I was doing an internet search on another topic and this discussion from 2011 popped up. I'm surprised that nobody got this right. Since the owner is thinking it is an M22 because of the...

We've already pulled the wheel and put a new AC Delco ignition cylinder in with the non chip key that comes with the cylinder, and re assembled. I'm told there are 15 possibilities for the keys. ...

I had never been in one before either, and even with the tool tight the clip was in a bind. When I forced it on off everything hit me in the chest. We did get it back together with extreme pressure...

The drama continues, Grandson's new (to him) '89, now with fuel pump issues

Last night I attempted to remove the gas cap. After I couldn't do it by hand I put a large pair of Channel Locks on it and proceeded to twist the inlet half in two at it's base where it meets the...

Sorry, I missed the question. The car is six speed. And I did ask the owner if the VATS had been bypassed and he did not have any memory of it one way or the other. He was a college kid when driving...

63 to 67 hard top interchange?

If my memory serves, ALL '63 to '67 hard tops interchange. I remember there are some minor differences in detail, but as far as putting a '67 top on a '63 want to make sure there are no issues.

Thanks, I'll give it a try, but since I've owned the car for over 25 yrs I'm not sure the registry will help much.

No, I'm not familiar with it. I did the NCRS document showing the selling dealer, but that's as far as I've been able to get. Thanks for the reply.
