Having owned several 66s sense 66 I can tell you that B bodies (Caprice Impala Belair and Biscayne and associated wagons and SS models) that had A/C or a big block came with clutched fans and fan shrouds from the factory (6s and low power small block v8 without AC usually did not). A fairly simple test and adjustment of the fan clutch was printed in an article 1990 article in Corvette World " Cool Down by Henry Mollatch" to paraphrase Start the engine cold Run about 2 min shut off the engine from idle speed while watching the fan it should make about three revolutions after the motor stops. Then warm up to operating temp and repeat the test the fan blades should stop much faster. Note 2 that the OEM fans for pre 67s were set to about 160 deg F and the currently available stock is usually set to 180 or higher see article for adjustment procedure. My current cruiser is a Lemonwood Yellow 66 Impala SS 396 Convertible with AC.
Possibly a 66 impala.
Hi. The 66 Chevy impala conv is 542cm in lenght, and 202 cm wide. Best Regards Norway
66 Impala bolt pattern is 5X4 3/4
Which one would I get good as miles and would be comfortable for me nd my wife. We are ages 66 and 64?
No, the 66 has the rectangular tail lights. 68 has round lights. I own a 66, but I prefer the 68 tail lights. google Impala images.
The tail lights are interchangeable, the only difference is the chrome trim that was standard on the Caprice
I have never seen any of the Impala rear seats that fold down other than the stationwagon
Yeah. They made impalas with 6 cylinder from 58 to 69
If you cut the housing down to fit the chevelle it will work but to just take and try to put it under the chevelle it's too long.
Yes it came with the 425hp 396 in 66' for a couple of months
There were a lot of them built but just because of it's age a 1966 is pretty rare.
Absolutely NOT!! They are two entirely different frames and two entirely different cars. The Impala is a full size car while the Chevelle is a mid size car. You CAN use a frame from the other GM A bodies from '66 and '67 with the same body style (coupe, sedan, convertible, etc.) so a frame from a Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Cutlass or Pontiac Tempest/Lemans will work with VERY little modification, if any. The only thing you would need to change is the motor mounts. Everything else is completely interchangeable.
