Can anyone suggest a shop to rebuild my 63 Riviera Speedometer with cruse control? It bounces all over the place and I've already replaced the cable. How about some direction about getting it out? Thanks, Joe

Joe Let us know how you make out. Bloo I read your writing 3 times now. I have a headache. But it sure was interesting.

I have a slight vibration over 70mph. I had so many problems with vibrations since I went to the 700R I'm afraid to touch anything at this point. What I must say is that Ed and Tom were exactly right from the very beginning. It all had to do with the phasing. None of the drive shaft companies would believe me so I've been thrown out of every drive shaft shop in South West FL. I really don't have anywhere else to go at this point, but like I said it so much better then it ever was I'm just trying to live with it. Also I have been diagnosed with lung cancer so I really don't have the time or strength to deal with it right now. Its just too much trying to put it up on stands and pull the shaft in and out. I must have done that 50 times in the past. Maybe some day if I can beat this I would like to pull the rear half of the shaft just to see if I could still feel it if I run it up over 70mph. You know to determine if its the front shaft or the rear that's causing it. Most of my driving back and forth to shows is on Rt 75 so if your not doing 70 to 80 you had better stay off the highway. Also with the 373 Posi and the 700r4 if you not doing at least 70 your not turning at least 2K. Best....

Just out of curiosity would anyone know if these shims would affect a vibration during Acceleration, Deacceleration or at High speed say over 70mph?

What a great question. I don't have any in mine either and it would be interesting to know what exactly they do. Look forward to an educated answer from one of the guys that actually understand what their speaking about. Thank God we have a few. Best...

Hey There, I'm interested in this car. It's on E Bay but I'm not sure it's a real Grand Sport. The Vin is 494475H931999 or so I'm told. Trying to get a picture of the Vin Plate.

O4B ST-65-49447 FB170962 TR 628 ZZ EXT-2K-3T-4F-5KW Here is the EBay Link :https://www.ebay.com/itm/234312360668?hash=item368e1ae2dc%3Ag%3AbUAAAOSwZ2VhpSZf&LH_ItemCondition=3000|1000|2500 Thanks Guy's

Thanks Tom...

Thanks guys greatly appreciated...

Does anyone know if the Crankshaft Bearings be replace on a 63 Riviera without removing the engine ???

Make sure the Phasing is set correctly. Check your shop manual for the proper degree setting based on the year. If its set straight up that is a problem.

Is this the original driveshaft from the car. Or has it been changed or worked on?
