    Issues with cam bearings and clearances. Cam will not fit.

    Yep standard affair with big blocks, 99% of the time the cams wont fit. I was a machinist from the mid 80's so it isn't a new issue or a case of " The bearings these days are no good". Check that your cam is straight is a good idea. We would use a bearing scraper to slowly take out the high...

    New C-Body Emblem Suggestions

    72 New Yorker with cassette player

    The factory trim on the seat backs is basically foam that is painted. Real weird way to trim them. They are always cracked. The Imperial guys in the US who have grown up with them can confirm if they cracked from when they were almost new. The trimmer completely stripped the foam off the seat...
