    The 70 Chevelle is definitely one of my favorite muscle cars of all time.

    That made a lot more difference than I thought it might with the suspension. Wow.

    Every description of a PowerNation video needs to have the date originally aired documented. Jus' sayin'.

    I really enjoyed the 1965 Chevelle 396 big block history lesson. I did not know that.
    Thanks.

    On seals like the rear axle, I’ve always cleaned the seal and housing mating surface and applied a thin film of clear silicone, zero leaks after doing hundreds of them. Cheap insurance.

      It's called a proportioning valve at it was installed at the 11:14 mark.

    This is what I hate about car shows like this. They say this car is a stroked 406. Well to get it to 406 CI it is bored not stroked. I think they just like the word stroked

    TBH, I wish I had seen this episode when I still had my '69 elCamino. I bought a CPP Stage 3 kit, it was cheaper than upgrading to disc brakes for the front. I'd probably still have him.(only car I ever owned that was male. If you know, you know)

  • @lawrencefoster2120

    That was always what made the Corvette different,it had real suspension, handling. It has always been what was neglected in the common affordable sports car.

    Do you know if there is a disk brakes conversion kit out there for a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew cab LS short 5.3 V8 LM7 vortex because it has drum brakes which i don't like at all.

      @@PAKfromFYCB it helps a lot. Especially on ball joints where you can use the spring to help unseat the ball joints. Tie rods "usually” work, but I’ve had to tap the nut on top occasionally with it threaded about halfway.
