I really didn't need to look this one up...

Walter Rorhl is attributed with mastering the 2-foot/3-pedal driving, specifically to keep the turbo spooled-up while on the brakes but also to balance the car. 4WD combined with turbos were kinda new at this time. This is amazing!

How did this happen originally? First, the key(s?) are not there to turn the balancer, they are only there to locate (orient) it to the crankshaft properly. The clamping force the center bolt applies to the balancer to the crankshaft is what is supposed to turn the balancer. Are there 2 keys used? Does the balancer slip onto the crankshaft nose easily? There should be enough interference that a hammer and a block of wood is needed to get it to fully bottom out on the nose. If the balancer wobbles on the crank nose replace it with a new one, it's worn out (or the crank nose is deformed, and you know what that means... replacement). The balancer should fully bottom out on the crank, all the way to the first bearing journal. Then the bolt should be liberally coated with Locktite (red) and tourqued to spec.

Winter's coming, be prepared!

I don't know how you can beat this!

I know what you mean about that sun shield, I couldn't fig'ur out how the brackets went then found this pic online, hope it helps. Looks like there's some bracing in the middle too.

Wow, just WOW!

Well I have a 1:1 project going on, doing a frame-up semi-restoration on my neighbor's '69 Malibu 4-door, which is why I haven't been on here much. Starting with this: ...and removing the body and putting it on a shortened El Camino chassis. Build is here: https://oldchevelles.com/index.php?threads/7595/ You need to register to see the full size pix... gonna be a bit of work but assembling the chassis and dropping the body on it, ala factory assembly line is gonna be the cool part!
