Wow those look pretty good, how is the material? Will it hold up to heat and methanol?

Eric, I removed my shift fork boot and it’s the same color as yours. I don’t see any clip holding it to the fork. There are repros that color for early Chevys.

I just checked it, it has 9 springs. I have a rebuild place here- Southland Clutch-that will be doing it.
What are we using for throw out bearing, part number, or source?

Confirmed that this car has the Jetfire specific 10” clutch.

Original starter wire loom cover has missing section. A place called Restoration Supply Co has them in all sizes. They also have the white braided cover for the choke tube on automatic cars

Yes, it works great. Just all the gaskets are old and the metering valve was leaking. I been driving it for 2 years but it’s time to rebuild the motor also. It still has the original pistons in it but the cylinders are worn.

Turbo is on its way to Jim.

Finally getting around to rebuild the engine and turbo:

How do you get the glass out of the frames?

Thanks, that’s good info. My 63 looks to have cut with some type of power shear, very straight like from a template. Curled metal still attached in some places.

Eric, thanks for this info. While you have the car apart, can you take some detail pictures of the 4 speed trans tunnel modification?
Thank you

Eric, I’ll take one

Eric can you show what the clips look like and how they attach in the area by the wheel well?

Mac85 that’s great info. There must be a tool or a way to make a tool to remove the trim from the clips without breaking them.

Eric, how did you get the glass out without cutting the gasket? Steel Rubber has the gaskets but I don’t know how good they are. Does the window trim come out with the window and gasket? Or did you remove the trim first? I would guess Ebay is the best source for the clips but you have to know what other GM car would use them to help widen the search.

Looks like a great showing, but I only count 7 Jetfires?
How do the Olds people react to Jetfires? Is interest gaining?

Eric I’ll take one. This is something a long time coming.

That little red light to the left of that light switch is a parking brake light. Good to have as it is lit when the parking brake is on. My last 63 had both of those options.
