Hey Bowtie,

Nobody has an answer??

There must be technicians that know how too

tell me what to do, right? 

I really don't know what you try to express in

this reply...sorry!

Am I asking something wrong here?

Search the wrecking yards for the following:

Buick: 67-74 Apollo, Gran Sport, Skylark, Somerset, Special, Sport Wagon

Chev: 67-72 Camaro (not all), Chevelle, El Camino, Nova, Monte Carlo

Olds:69-74 Cutlass, F85, Omega, Vista Cruiser

Pontiac 69-74 Firebird (not all as with Camaro 68 thru 78 can be different), Grand Prix, GTO, LeMans and Tempest (some of these share the Camaro/Firebird oddities), Ventura.

You will need front spindles, backing plates, calipers, and rotors; power booster and master cylinder; proportioning valve, front and rear hard and flex lines. Check wheel diameters, if you have 14 inch wheels and the doner has 15 inch, get them as they're probably needed to clear the rotors.

Get some measurements on your front spindles, top to botton ball joint distance. Length of axle center from bottom of lower and top of the upper ball joint bosses. Distance from the centerline from the upper and lower ball joint bosses to the end of the machined axle. The reason for this is that there is some year to year and model to model variation, especially between domestic and export models. If your wrecking yard has access to the American "Hollander Manual", they will be able to cross match the exact fits for you if your Chevelle was originally a US sold unit and possibly even if it was part of foreign sales production.

Thanks for your information!

This is what I was looking for!

that donor car list is great tho.. I don't think there are many of those cars in junkyards  in amsterdam....   but I could be wrong...(and most times ,I am)

and  gertjam  the "see post on hotrod board was because there is a thread on that board  asking the same  thing (i thought you posted it there too.)

good luck tho..
