    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'.

    A new steering box would have probably been a nice upgrade too!

    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.

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

    Ya'll still had a decent factory setup. Try driving one with manual drum brakes and no powersteering.

    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)

    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

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

      @@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.
