  1. Swapped out the old standard low beams on the '63 to the newer (at the time, probably 10 years ago) to the new bulb insert and was happy at the time. Recently replaced the halogens and installed the Holley Retrobrights leds on the '87 GN and wow, what a difference. Plug and play. Going to swap out the tube style on the '63 with Retrobrights in the spring too. photo is halogen vs Retrobright on the GN thanks, len.
  2. What is different and unique compared to the AMT version is that the Cox cars (Riviera, Stingray, GT 40, Chaparral and other versions) were actually gas powered. Looking at the fuel label, it has some nitromethane in it. You could drag race, run them in a circle or race them on a slot car type track.
  3. Not mine. At car show in Sycamore, IL last Sunday August 7.
  4. who rebuilt the posi? I need a 3.42 posi rebuilt. Was in a 63 Riviera but not original to the car. thanks, len.
  5. thanks guys, appreciate the guidance thanks, len.
  6. DShoes, did you make some kind of pattern to use when cutting out the new pieces? thanks, len.
  7. Hi Tom. Do you by chance still have the tri shield for sale? thanks, len.
  8. If you still have the gear.........does this mean it will bolt into a 63 Riviera housing? thanks, len.
  9. Not sure what happened to my first try to post this. Thank you to all who contributed to the threads on clock repair. I've had the car for over 40 years and the clock never worked. Never bothered me in the least until recently, not sure why. Some filing, light machine oil and manually winding the spring for a couple of days and it's 'thunking' once again. thanks, len.
  10. Anyone have feedback on Tri Power Automotive in Libertyville, IL? thanks, len.
  11. Hi George, thank you for responding. The one I have that works, I was hoping to find a tach that is broken beyond repair to salvage the rpm set knob for mine. One of those things that just bugs me to no end for some reason.
  12. Longshot I'm sure. Looking for the knob that controls the rpm setting. If you have a trashed tach with a knob. Would take the clear plastic face as well. Not sure of the years and guessing the Olds/Pontiac ones are the same except for the car maker script. thanks, len.
