For the purists
I made a batch of 68-72 battery tubes with the little spiral like the originals. This adds a lot of time to the process, and the way i need to chuck them up in lathe i end up loosing enough material that im one less than the previous batches. These are made from the same electrical insulating garolite just like the originals and my previous batches. I have auto and 4 speed tubes. Thanks Brandon

Brandon, excuse my ignorance could you explain what a battery tube is and where it is found. As you can tell this is not my era of expertise but my quest for knowledge and curiosity made me ask... Lost in the fifties ...Tedd

Like i said get me some dimensions and ill order some material. I just dont have any experience with 66-67s. I do have some early tubes here but im not sure what years they came from and weather they are auto vs stick shift. I would love to make these for you guys.

I'll do my best. For now here is some information. If you can check out page 12-2.13 in the 1966 Cutlass assembly manual. There are three applications. I would scan the page but my scanner is dead.
Thanks
