I've just started doing my bucket seats - it looks doable to me though the catalogues where you buy the replacement vinyl covers advise having a "professional" do the job.  I'm replacing the vinyl cover and the seat foan under it because trhere was Mildew odor all through the foam.  The foam pieces

      Has anyone tackled doing the upholstery on a set of bucket seats for the first time?  I think the person who did mine, before I purchased it, used just a plain square piece of foam.  I was wondering if an amateur could redo it.  Also does anyone know how the seat are tucked (or pulled

A '69 396 used a 195 thermostat and a 15-lb. radiator cap (1969 Motor's manual). I couldn't find any info for '72 but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts a 195 is also specified; I think just about every GM engine in the '70s was spec'd for one. That being said, I generally run a 180 in my non-compu

That's normal Les.  The cowl flapper/door runs off engine vacuum.  When the engine is running the vacuum holds it shut.  When you stomp on the gas the vacuum drops causing the door to open, the same thing happens when you shut off the engine - no vacuum. Herb Lumpphttp://users.adelphia.net/~

Steve,  I hope in your case you are right.  The shifter and linkage from my M-21 will not work.  The plate that bolts to the trans is in the wrong place and all the holes do not line up.  The linkage is also way different.  The levers are 3/8 on the Muncie and 5/16 on the NP.  From the meas
