[old-chevy-truck] Hood emblems

We recently purchased a Chevy HHR. I see where an ebay seller is selling decal versions of the vintage chevrolet and 3100 that are on the hoods of the vintage trucks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItemrd=1item=170134516241 While this may work easily I wonder how hard it

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Hood emblems

Hi, IMHO, if I was going to further retro enhance my HHR, with the original type reproduction bolt on emblems to give it a more old school look , I would drill the holes and not have to be concerned about the adhesive technique possibly damaging the underlying paint should the emblems get knocked

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Hood emblems

3M Double sided sticky tape will hold the emblems. You can purchase it at your local automotive paint supply store. Joe --- koiboykoi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We recently purchased a Chevy HHR. I see where an ebay seller is selling decal versions of the vintage chevrolet and 3100 that are

I bought the truck for the museum; and it's got stuck rear brakes. The property has been leased out that it's on; and the museum's landlord won't allow his equipment on the land that the truck sits on. I need his heavy forklift; as the trucks bed is full of metal. I would rent a forklift;

[old-chevy-truck] Electronic Distributor Question

I have installed a like-new Mallory Unilite electronic (non HEI) distributor in my '48 3100 with a '56 235. A friend gave me the distributor with no installation instructions. The question I have is, do I need to install a vacuum advance unit or is this distributor equipped with some internal

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Electronic Distributor Question

I'm pretty sure my Unilite is just mechanical advance. Alan '50 Chevy 1/2 ton Denver - Original Message - From: Dennis Miga To: Old Chevy Trucks Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 3:55 PM Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Electronic Distributor Question I have installed a like-new

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Electronic Distributor Question

When you get a chance perhaps you can take a peek at the distributor and see if there is any vacuum hose coming from it. Dennis - Original Message From: Alan Lubow [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 5:11:23 PM Subject: Re:

[old-chevy-truck] Re: Electronic Distributor Question

If it has no vacuum advance on it, should be mechanical advance. You can change the springs to make the advance come in when you want. Make sure the weights move freely and not sticking. You should be able to see the movement with your timing light hooked up and change RPM of engine. Good Luck.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Electronic Distributor Question

Sounds like a nice find Dennis. Distributors originally designed for the race track had no real need for a load sensing vacuum advance since the engine was under full load all the time anyway. Under those conditions, centrifugal advance is all that is needed. Unfortunately, engines perform better

[old-chevy-truck] Re: Electronic Distributor Question

You're welcome. But, I think you will enjoy another distrib. better with a vacuum advance for all around driving. Just my Thoughts, Walt --- In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, Dennis Miga [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Walt. Dennis - Original Message From: inline_6250

[old-chevy-truck] rust repair

I need some advice regarding cab repair. Unfortunately, my cab has more rust than good sheetmetal, so I need to replace the toeboard, floorpan, and the cowl panels on both sides. Does anyone have experience replacing all these panels that they could share? Is there a particular order that

[old-chevy-truck] high rpms revisited briefy

Todays unilite distributor post reminded me about our recent high rpm stovebolt discussion that borderlined an argument on the subject. I've been overdue to stress to the group that I certainly wasn't recommending unnecessarily running these old engines around at 3000+ rpms. My viewpoint was
