Beats me. Im guessing the bolt worked loose causing stress on the non threaded portion. I don’t know if the bolt was torqued properly by the previous TD owner, or Chevette owner for that matter.

Update on broken pulley bolt. Was able to extract the threaded portion of the bolt from the crankshaft. There’s a crankshaft spacer behind the timing gear on the crankshaft, and it had slid forward out of the engine block about 3/4 of its way out to prevent the timing sprocket from keying onto the crankshaft. See the enclosed pics.

My wife shows off our first trophy ever from the Barnesville Car Show. Over 400 cars were represented.
The bad news followed this last weekend. My crankshaft pulley bolt broke on the way to the Cambridge Car show and we were forced to be towed home 3 miles from the show site. The pulley was a little banged up but looks like it might still…[Read more]

Thanks, Paul. The “delete” feature didn’t seem to appear anywhere on that particular reply Maybe because the reply was in the form of an URL, rather than a text comment? Anyway, I feel better now!

I posted what I thought was my facebook name in a topic thread but its someone elses. Evidently my name is followed by a number that doesn’t appear to the general public. Can,t find a way to delete or correct!!!

Looks like my steering wheel. My rivets are recessed a bit too, but have never bothered me. The rivets don’t look like they unscrew from the back. You might be able to sand the front side down to rivet depth, but could do more damage than good.

Seems he has one left. There are other similar sellers but make sure it’s real leather not imitation or the iron on process will melt it. Also make note of mfrs logos location. Iron on might not hide…[Read more]

Found this tool rollup on Ebay for about 25.00. Seller described it as for motorcyclists but it slips nicely under the passenger seat. The logo is an iron on transfer I printed from a stock internet image. Sticks nicely to the leather. I need to manhandle the kit with dirty hands to give it some “authentic patina”!

Mentioned a while back that I was having heat issues with my cooling system. Hunkering down at home gave me the perfect opportunity to attempt a solution and I purchased an high performance 2 row aluminum radiator on Ebay. Radiator is for a 1992 to 2000 Honda Civic with automatic transmission. Also bought a 48 inch stainless radiator hose…[Read more]

<Since I’m hunkering mostly at home right now, I have lots of time for projects I’ve been putting off. Grabbed some brake parts cleaner and my wife’s toothbrush recently and went to work detailing the engine compartment. New plug wires, high temperature engine enamel and a few days later this is where it’s at.
