Re: 1981 633 CSI Revival and Refresh

Interesting, I just gave a tach/dwell meter away =D> https://bigcoupe.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32705 Not sure why you would need a dwell meter however, your 81 shouldn't have breaker points :-? To be perfectly honest that was a huge part of my learning curve :lol: Atleast I am able to fig...

Re: E12 Based Chassis Ignition Switch Swap

Yeah it was a real PITA but I removed the tamper proof screws. I honestly did not want to remove them but everything I have read to this point stated that they needed to be removed.

Re: e12 4pot vs e24 single vs aftermarket caliper

Hi Grapedude, I did the e32 rear brake swap on my e12 based 6ixer. It was a hell of an upgrade. The rear brakes really made the difference. I would say the original e12 front brakes and e32 rear brakes with good pads, is a supreme braking set up for the e12 based 6ixers. Once you complete the brake ...

The wheels are back forsale. I bought these with the intentions of fitting them to my Sixer. Turns out that the hub bore on these wheels will not work for an E12 based chassis. The wheels were refinished and they look amazing. Currently come with two center caps from when I originally bought them. T...

Re: E12 based car

Hello guys, i am driving a first GEN 633 CSI from 1977 - so it should be e12 based. The preowner installed Bilstein B6 shocks and H&R Springs from the e28. I am a little confused, that those springs work on my car because it should be e12 based. Is it possible that he also used some e28 shocks?...

I cannot speak for the our motors as I have not personally measured the oil temp yet, but for most chevy motors (LS variants) they run about 70*-80* hotter then the coolant temp in FL where in the summer we will get 35*c to about 39*c. However, I will say that for most of us here FL that drive our c...
