Also some good online info at http://links.chevelles.net/links In the WorkShop area
there are 3 or 4 sites devoted to the tall spindle conversion.
Also in the general info area the "Online Chevelle Interchange Page" has some good
stuff , including aftermarket part #'s.
I've printed and read & re read these pages as I prepare to install the GW arms - If
they are there when I get home.

>Every year around this time I get the itch to get another Chevelle. I sold
