Hi guys, I'm looking for a set of wheel cylinder push pins for the front and back drum brakes for my 64 Riv. I started the brake job a month ago, life got busy and I put them in a real good spot and can't find them anywhere. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would really...

Hi Everyone, Headlights still don't work in my 64 Riviera. I replaced the relay and now the parking lights work. All my other outside lights work with the exception of my headlights. Even my instruments lights are working in the dash. Does anyone have any clues or advice on what to check...

I recently became the proud owner of a 64 Rivi that has been in the family for over 30 years. It had an existing tap/knock and I started investagating. It wasn't a deep knock and was inconsistant. I pulled the valve cover and assembly and removed the pushrods one by one to inspect them. The...
