The Airflow is correct. All yours

besides the obvious trim differences between a 67 and a 68 camaro, there was a issue with the rear suspension on the 67 camaro that became a recall and then was redesign in 68. so first what was the recall and what did it involve and second what was redesigned in 68 to solve the problem :?:

Harbone 01-15-2010 05:03 PM

The shock absorber mounting was staggered to resolve wheel hop issues and higher performance models received multi-leaf rear springs instead of single-leaf units

ding ding ding!!! the original shocks were mounted on the same side of the axle and the cars had horrible wheel hop, to solve the problem GM had a recall to mount a torque arm/traction bar on the right side to alleviate the problem, in 68 they staggered the shocks and went to multi leaf and the problem was solved.
you are up dennis!

DirkaDirka 01-15-2010 05:11 PM

83 or 84 but i cant remember how many they actually made/destroyed and the only 1 left is in the vette museum

dragonmaster093 01-15-2010 05:34 PM

Production Price
Coupes 43 never sold
Factoid: A total of 43 - 1983 model Corvettes were built, but there were so many quality problems it was decided to halt production until they could be corrected. The 1983's were never sold to the public and the only one that is known to still exist is in the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY

name a gm none chevy aluminum engine in the early 60's

Harbone 01-15-2010 06:07 PM

rover, 215 inch V-8?

fla1976 01-15-2010 06:09 PM

Olds, Buick and Pontiac 215 V8. Also used in Triumph TR8.

BEAST477 01-15-2010 06:09 PM

I believe it was a Buick. Not sure of cid.

dragonmaster093 01-15-2010 06:12 PM

hmm all right

The GM 215 cubic inch aluminum V8 engine (and its Rover descendants) have historically been the V8 of choice for MG conversions because of its light weight and compact dimensions. The engine was domestically available in a variety of 1961 to 1963 Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs and in several performance levels.

Stock horsepower ranged from the standard Buick Special's 155 H.P. / 210 lbs torque to the Oldsmobile Jetfire's turbocharged and fluid injected 215 H.P. / 300 lbs torque. Of course, the most desirable aluminum V8's are the higher performance versions with increased compression ratios and four barrel carburetors. [Editor's note: if you're going to rebuild a Buick 215 anyway, you can easily change compression ratio by selecting different pistons. To change compression ratio on an Olds 215, you're probably looking at swapping heads. That's another article. Buick and Olds 215's have entirely different valve covers, which is probably the quickest way to sort a stack of them. Heads and valve-train are what really make Buick and Oldsmobile 215's quite different, but that's another article too!]


guess you have fight for who goes next

Harbone 01-15-2010 06:15 PM

dragonmaster093 01-15-2010 06:32 PM

later harbone and thanks on my other post

fla1976 01-15-2010 06:40 PM

Dodge manufactured every part of the Ford car except for the buckboard wooden seats and the rubber tires. Dr. E. Pfennig bought the first Ford for $850. At the time of the sale, Ford only had left $223.65 in his bank account, and was almost bankrupt. However, cash flow went only one direction after that first sale, and that direction was up. Dodge received $10,000 in stock dividends the first year. Ford stock would eventually pay out to them millions more, but for the time being the Dodge Brothers profited handsomely twice: once by selling Ford the parts he needed to manufacture his car, and again by owning stock in his prospering company. Someone can post up, gotta go. Long drive tomorrow.
