or is there never any good third generation stuff for sale in the garage sales? Always seems like it's just 5th gen stuff.

Also I need a suggestion for a new intake manifold (square-bore) for my 350.

Hang in there! Ive got more than a few parts,an ok gate,70 fenders,ss dome hood,bumpers,trim,and of course the dash(havent forgotten)A dealer add on fiberglass tonneau (off of a one owner 70)! Im sure theres other stuff too! I'll post pics,and pm you,Now all I have to buy is a digital camera.Im not too good with all these new electronics! Yes my VCR flashes 12:00 All the time! :lol: :lol:

We 3rd gen owners are outnumbered 5:1 by the 5th genners here! I think we're even outnumbered by 4th genners! 8O

Yes my VCR flashes 12:00 All the time! :lol: :lol:

You still have one of them old fashioned VCR thingies?? :P

Hey I've got one of them DVD things too! :) I am still a 3 rd gen guy,Was gonna sell the 72-but I just cant! The VCR just flashes 12:00,cant think of anything else its used for :lol:

I need a suggestion for a new intake manifold (square-bore) for my 350.

I'd suggest the Edelbrock RPM Airgap. Or if more performance than city driving is in order then the Edelbrock Victor series Intake Manifolds are very good. Since your not talking about a 5th gen then you have plenty of room for the extra height of the Air Gap intake. It's a good all around intake and helps with power and believe it or not economy.

if there are more 4th generation owners that would amaze me. 4th gens are not all that popular with most.

I don't like single plane mahifolds on street performance engines because the throttle response at smaller throttle settings can get real mushy. The Edelbrock series of intake manifolds was really designed for racing applications with a large plenum and big ports the vacumn signal is very weak. I have had great success with the Edelbrock Performer intakes.

I've got one of each. I tend to work on the '86 because parts are more readily available. The '72 has been languishing for about 4 years. I've got all kinds of parts for it and a new engine on the stand, but it's a "project". I just can't get myself to get into it. Tried to sell it, but everyone wants you to pay them to take it.

Such is the case with "projects" Ive got a 63 Biscayne 2 door sedan,loads of new parts and everyones like do you want to trade for a nissan or other assorted crap! You want to say get away from me and the projects end up sitting gathering dust. :-(

I've got some left over parts from doing my 72 I just can't see anyone wanting to pay to have some of the stuff shipped, I'm also looking for a SS or cowl hood for it but can't seem to find one local used, so I may have to buy a new one, Jim

Whatcha got laying around for the 72 JimMac?

pass door, dr and pass door glass, pass vent window glass rear glass, tail gate hinges, headliner bows, 70 fender dr. tail lights, I think, dr. window reg, dash assy, steering col, parts, bent cowl hood, hood hinges, kick panels AC and non AC, heater box non AC, core support, (rust) bench seat frame, I put together a 72 I bought as a roller, installed a motor tranny wiring interior, but I found a 70 chevelle and started collecting parts for it, just got it running basically I bought a rolling frame and shell( fire wall back) without a dash just sheet metal, started collecting chevelle parts to get it running and had left over stuff from a 70 and 72 parts car, also stripped a monte for the dash, Jim
