 Well...I will be modifying my rear end and removing the c clips for the
new
 Wilwood disk brake setup. The problem isI'm getting mixed advice about
 the bearings. I may race the car at the local quarter mile, but I will be
 cruising mostly with it!

 Global West says go with the ball bearing style bearings. They are used
for
 drag racing, butPyle Brothers, that will do the conversion, says the
 ball bearings will leak after 10,000 or less miles. Pyle Brothers says you
 need to go with the roller style bearings for cruising and they will not
 leak like the ball bearings...

 Whom do you believe!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] How Harsh is Too Harsh?

[Dan Mascheck]

While I agree with what you say...the point I was trying to make is...there
are other bushings in the front end suspension besides the ones in the GW A
arms I bought. I'm wondering whether to use Polyurethane, Polygraphite, or
just plain ole rubber! 

I may also replace the body mounts, again which way should I go?

Other than the anti-sway bar, I don't think there are any bushings to worry
about.  Ball joints, Pitman arms, tie rods, etc. have grease fittings, but
you get what you get from the manufacturer, and it is metal to metal as far
as I know.  You can't buy a poly bushing kit for these fittings, just A-Arms
and sway bars (bar mount and end links) in front.  

Since you have the full tilt GW kit, get what else you need from them and
you can be sure that it will all work together, even if it costs a few
dollars more than PST or someone else - not that PST is cheap.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Flowmaster

Cant be.
The 40s are a totally different physical size. 30s and 50s are the same
physical size but 50s are not as loud as 30s. Some of my customers who order the
17119 kit ask for 50s instead of 30s, which is not a problem. The 17120 (El
Camino) kit has always come with 50s.

Re: [Chevelle-list] How Harsh is Too Harsh?

[Matthew Post]

When I researched body mounts on Team Chevelle, the overwhelming consensus 
was to use the plain ol' stock rubber ones, which I did.  Those that had 
tried Poly ones said they had more vibrations rattle up through the body 
and the ride was harsher (without any performance gain).


When it came to the sway bar mount and end links, I used 
polyurethane.  People say they squeak, but I figure I can get under there 
and grease them periodically.

Anyone here running Super 40s? I was going to do the regular old 40
series two chamber ones (=LOUD). But the Flowmaster website says
the Super 40s are just as loud outside, but with less interior resonance
(that Flowmaster drone @ about 2000-2500 rpm). Just curious if
anyone had them.

[Chevelle-list] rear tranny seal

[John Nasta]

I need to replace my rear tranny seal. It is a TH350 from a 70 Chevelle. My
local parts guy says he is showing three different shaft sizes but one of
the three comes up much more often in his sales history, meaning that it is
either the most popular size *(or just the one that wears out the fastest)*.

My original driveshaft (a 1969 El Camino w/ PG) fit right into the TH350
tranny, so it has to be a common size shaft. Does anybody know off-hand what
the shaft size is supposed to be?

Thanks,

If you are
looking for the window regulator, they are available in power or manual
versions. I dont think individual parts of the regulator are available. You can
see a picture of a 1968 manual window regulator here:

Hopefully
the picture will tell you if this is the part you are describing.

Hi Craig,

Are you looking for the Chevelle kit or the El Camino kit?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Flowmaster

[John Nasta]

The Flowmaster site probably only shows the list price because they don't
sell retail, and they know that most of the retailers sell them below list
(we sort of have to in order to sell any at all). In other words, they are
not going to show prices that would compete with a retailer because the
retailers are their customers, not the public.

I've used the gasket hole punches before.  Bought a cheap set at 
Harbor Freight.  You can heat them with a propane torch  burn clean, 
round holes through the fabric.  You will have to know where the hole 
goes first.

When I researched body mounts on Team Chevelle, the overwhelming consensus 
was to use the plain ol' stock rubber ones, which I did.  Those that had 
tried Poly ones said they had more vibrations rattle up through the body 
and the ride was harsher (without any performance gain).

When it came to the sway bar mount and end links, I used 
polyurethane.  People say they squeak, but I figure I can get under there 
and grease them periodically.

I may also replace the body mounts, again which way should I go?

The VIN does not tell you what color the car is. It tells you the 
make, model, series, year, assembly plant, and production number. The trim

Take the tail shaft off the trans, only 4 bolts hold it on, just make sure 
you get a new O ring for it. There are 2 seals, 1 is for the TH400/M22, 
the other is for TH350/PG.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Flowmaster

[John Nasta]

Flowmaster recently raised all of their prices, so that may not still be the
price. I just updated all of my Flowmaster prices about a week ago to
reflect the new 2006 prices. I know I personally can't sell that system for
$300 (assuming you mean the 11719 because the 11720 is even more). Retail
businesses just can't survive on 10% margins, especially with that much cash
outlay. Flowmaster makes it really hard for the smaller vendors because they
give much better pricing to the bigger guys. You just can't compete with a
margin like that and still stay in business. If they are really selling the
11719 for $300, that is 20% below jobber, which no small company can compete
with because we just don't get the kind of pricing that would allow that.
The shipping would cost more than what we would make on it.
