Extruded Core Technology from Flex-A-Lite is the future of performance aluminum radiators, replacing multi-core radiators with a new, advanced design. Extruded Core Radiators provide significantly better cooling with a stronger, more durable, and lighter design. This direct-fit radiator is engineered to bolt on—no cutting or drilling required. The radiator mounts using the factory location and equipment and includes a 22–24 lb cap and drain petcock.

Features

  • For 1964-1967 Chevelle and other GM A-Bodies
  • Increased contact area between coolant and aluminum tubes for better heat rejection
  • Flat surface on which to braze the cooling fins maximizes contact between the tubes and fins for better cooling
  • Louver patterns in the cooling fins direct airflow for better performance
  • Wind-tunnel testing has shown significant cooling efficiency over standard tube radiators
  • Enhanced strength (100 PSI burst rating)
  • Corner subhead reinforces the cooling tube to header connection (an area prone to cracking and leaking in aluminum radiators)
  • Warranty: 2-year transferable

Hedman Hedders: GM A-Body Headers for ’64-’67 Big-Block Chevy

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Offering excellent ground clearance and awesome horsepower, big-block GM A-Body headers from Hedman Hedders are the only mid-length headers for 1964–1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, El Camino, and GTO. The advantage these headers have is that they don’t hang below the frame rails like the long-tube headers for those vehicles, sparing them from road hazards like bumps and driveways. They fit automatic transmission–equipped models and are compatible with A/C and power steering. The shorter, mid-length headers provide superb ground clearance—especially for lowered, pro-touring style builds—yet offer superior performance over short-tube headers or factory manifolds.

Hedman makes these headers in the USA from mandrel-bent, 1-3/4” primary tubes, with 3/8” header flanges and a 3” ball/socket-style gasket-free collector. The larger, free-flowing tubes improve exhaust scavenging to produce excellent horsepower and throttle response from your Rat motor. Hedman backs header construction with a lifetime warranty, and all factory-applied finishes are warrantied for five full years. Available finishes include HTC polished silver ceramic (68666), Black Maxx ceramic-metallic (68663), or uncoated (68660).

Features

  • For 1964–1967 GM A-Body.
  • Excellent ground clearance and terrific horsepower.
  • Compatible with automatic transmission, air conditioning, and power steering.
  • Mandrel-bent 1.75” primary tubes.
  • Includes gaskets, header/collector bolts, and bolt-on header collector adapters.
  • Made in the USA.
  • Warranty: lifetime (construction), 5 years (finish).

SA Design (CT604): CarTech’s The Definitive Chevelle SS Guide 1964-1972

Use This Post Clip for Email

Starting in 1969, the Chevelle SS was no longer its own model, despite years of residing at the tip of the Chevrolet sales spear. That can make it difficult to determine whether a 1969–1972 model was ordered from the factory with Super Sport equipment. In The Definitive Chevelle SS Guide 1964–1972 from CarTech (releasing February 2018), author Dale McIntosh discusses each model in a year-by-year format, clearing the air about what was and wasn’t part of the Malibu SS, SS396, and SS-optioned Chevelle, including discussions about plant-by-plant variances and mid-year changes.

If you want your Chevelle SS to be as original as possible, this is your guide.

Features

  • Size: 5” x 11”
  • Format: Paperback
  • Pages: 192
  • Photos: 450

The 20130 direct-fit chassis harness for 1970–1972 Chevy Chevelle/Malibu from Painless provides provisions for connecting standard factory components plus everything you need for aftermarket components, including various pigtails and light sockets for mismatched cars (1971–1972 cars with 1970 front ends, or 1970 cars with 1971–1972 rear bumpers) and a 140-page manual with color schematics, photos, and step-by-step instructions.

The gauge cluster pigtail allows for the square “full sweep dash” harness and includes a Super Sport cluster pigtail, making it easy for those with a full sweep dash to later swap to an SS-style cluster by undoing one connector and plugging in the separate pigtail on the harness. This harness uses all of the same routing found on the factory harness, a design feature that lets you use existing attachment points. Painless even added extra length to the headlight section to allow it to be routed behind the driver-side inner fender for a cleaner look.

Features

  • Numerous components have the connectors and terminals preinstalled.
  • Exterior lights have the correct sockets and bulbs preinstalled.
  • Six-gauge charge wire and 100-amp MIDI fuse.
  • Fully integrated ground circuit.
  • 140+ page manual full of color schematics, photos, and step-by-step instructions.
