Whats the difference between the 70-72 calipers and the diplomat calipers? I have the dip spindle and braces. But I have a new set of 70-72 calipers and can't take them back.

Need to know, if the 70 thru 72 B Body disk brake spindles were different from the newer cars. I have Diplomat spindles and 71 rotors and seems like the grease seals are different.

Re: Solenoid or ballast resistor?

Do you mean solenoid or relay? The solenoid is on the starter, the relay is on the inner fender.If you relay is nice looking you can get any after market one and put you cover on it. The covers are date coded. Also the parts store ones don't have that little vent filter like the factory ones. Rick E...

Re: Hood Scoop Question?

That type of scoop is from the 70s,was used on pro stockers and any other race car. Its just fiberglass, you can still find them, but its ugly on that car.

Re: Help me ID this dash wiring
