Few things can spoil a drive in a classic Corvette faster than watching the temperature gauge climb toward the danger zone. That concern becomes even more important when there’s a heat-producing Chevrolet 427 big-block packed beneath the hood.

Upgrading the front suspension can make a big difference when building a classic performance vehicle. The CPP Totally Tubular™ Upper and Lower Control Arm Set, Part # TCA6774B, offers a complete suspension upgrade for 1967-69 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, as well as 1968-74 Chevrolet Nova models.

The term "torture test" is thrown around a lot in the automotive aftermarket, but what does it really mean?

The Problem: Leftover/Missing Hardware

There is a well-known saying about leftover parts. "You know a job was done right when you have pieces left over." Of course, this is nonsense.

On the other end of the spectrum, there is the issue of not enough hardware, which has just as many associated problems.

What is the Guldstrand Mod?

Sometimes called the G-Mod or GS-Mod, Guldstrand Mod offers better cornering performance with no other changes to the stock suspension.

It works for 1967-69 Camaro and Firebird, as well as 1968-74 Chevy II/Nova models.
