'77 Impala

[Impala Matt]

The Pro-flo system is great. Easy to get the car started
and setting the base timing and idle. I drove it a little and
the car is very responsive. It looks like I have a small oil
leak at the back of the intake. I'm not sure why there would
be oil at the back ( where the head and intake meet ) but when the car warms up and sees some rpm there is a small oil trail that runs down to the bellhousing. Guess I'll pull the intake and reseal it.

just a note, Next time you reseal the intake,Not sure if you have done it already, but pick up a can of Right Stuff sealant from permatex It looks like a squeeze cheese can Works 900X's better than regular RTV.


Also you might want to try some MOOG CC627 rear springs, They are a cargo coil for a g body. and alot of impala and 94-96 caprice guys use em to lower the rear of the whale caprices and still be able to haul stuff in the trunk.
Compairo from My 94 I used em on
Before 1 coil cut off the front 9C1 coils stock rear springs

After the 627's

I am running the SPC adjustable upper A-arms with the greaseable
steel-on-steel "race" style bushings. At some point they quite taking grease and would only push the grease gun off the zerk. When i took them apart 3 of the 4 wouldn't push grease through the small hole in the cross shaft even with the bushing off. The shaft and the bushing are to worn to use and I am going to replace them. I am trying to decide if I should replace them with the same or switch the rubber bushed "street" style. SPC says dirt can clog up the small hole and prevent proper greasing. They recomend disassembley and cleaning
often. Anyone have a similar experiance with these on the street and
will I be dissapointed if I change to the "street" style.

But they sell these for circle track use! Are circle track guys disassembling and cleaning after every race? I figured since they are used for that purpose, the only reason for calling them track-use was because you did have to occasionally grease them (which a lot of people would neglect to do) and maybe increased wear rate since they are steel on steel.

We run similar ones on our Touring late model and have never had them apart, some of the greasable racing arms simply can't be disassembled. That's why this bugs me, I'm apprehensive about ordering the greasable arms if they got that bad so fast. I hope they're at least somewhat good at keeping dirt out, but this has me concerned.
