    Recommend a slip yoke shop

    My 1961 Sunliner has an oddball transmission and I need a new slip yoke. It's a 292 w/ a LD 3 speed so no need for hi-pro. I've carefully measured it w/ calipers, got the numbers that driveshaft sites want. Can someone recommend a shop I can send these dimensions to and get a good yoke back...

    Will a 390 expansion tank fit a Y-Block?

    The coolant expansion tank on my 1961 Y-Block (292 Sunliner) isn't repairable. Y-Block expansion tanks seem kind of scarce but I'm finding some for Galaxie 390 engines. The Galaxie 390 tanks I'm looking at have the water pump bypass fitting. The radiator hose comes out the passenger side and...
