Re: [Chevelle-list] Power steering box 68SS
You need to adjust the steering stops on the gearbox.

I just replaced the power steering gearbox on my 68 Chevelle and went from the 4-4 1/2 turn model to the 3-3 1/2 turn. Now my turn radius is much larger.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage in the basement
Trooper, It works out real well. Because it is attached to my garage1/3 of my basement is taxed at a garage rate.I wantedfloor drains in this portion, but the building dept would not approve it unless I installed a triple basin systemwith pump that would run around 3K back in 1990 - wasn't worth it to me for that and park what I am driving in winter time in the 1st and 2nd stall of the garage that does have a drain for washing cars and wet stuff. I thought abouta lift instead of a ramp, but it was extra cost and would still need a concrete floor under it. My ramp slopes 5' over a 27' length so its gradual enough to still parka car, lawn mower, bikes on which I do each day. From the outside it looks like a regular 3 car attached garage. The concept is simple, but still blows people away the first time they see it. I stole the idea from my dad who has the same setup with 3 cars at all time in a portion of his b asement attached to a 4 car garage. Here's another interesting take on car storage. A guy in my dad's Nash club lives inFlorida, has like 10 Nash's. He ended up buying a run down house in his neighborhood. Took out all the non-load bearing walls and since it was all on a slab onlyneeded a small ramp (2 steps) from the garage to the house level. He now parks all his cars in there and maintains the look of a regular house on the outside. Krister -- Original message -- From: "Trooper" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Krister, How do you like that setup with the basement. I have a friend her in southern Illinois that has the same setup. He collects old Indy cars and has room for about 4 in his basement. I always wanted to build a house with the basement under the house and garage and use a 4 post lift to raise and lower the cars thus not wasting a lot of space on a ramp. This may not even be feasible it's just an idea I had. You could drop all your fun cars into the basement then raise the lift and park your driver right over the hole. Trooper - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Chevelle Mailing List ; The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 1:12 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Winter storage I put a "BatteryMinder" on the battery, slide soup cans over the exhaust pipes (steel wool stuffed in the end works too) to keep unexpected mice out. Mouse proof! and everyone has opinions on what works best. I remove any source of food/water and set a few traps. Cover car if it is in a dusty environment. Crack windows 1/2 inch for circulation. Holley carb bowls tend to evaporate out and can then hang open a float (been there done that) so I run the engine to full temp once or twice during winter, but then comes the condensation issue in the exhaustuahst system - you can't win. My winter Chevelle storage is actually in my basement - taking about 1/3 up, connected by a ramp (concrete floor)that is the 3rd stall in the attached garage. The incline is very gradually so I can still park other vehicles on the ramp. A garage door at the bottom of the ramp closes this basement portion off from the garage. Quite unique, heated and right by all the tools. Put this in when I built the house - building dept only required a 6" gas curb from the rest of the basement and 5/8 Firecode drywall (which should be used everywhere in my opinion).

This is one of the benefits of having your box rebuilt to your specs. As Clint says here, there are internal stops for each car, and your box must not be a Chevelle box.

[Chevelle-list] Custom Paint color?
I know this is off topic, but I'm buying a 1946 Chevy Truck. It has a few paint spot problems I want to correct, but I don't want to repaint the whole truck. Even if I had to paint the whole truck I would want it painted the same colors. The problem is, the original owner that had the truck painted, got a divorce and moved away, and to date I have not been able to find him! His name is a popular one and I found about 100 Jim Baird's with no assurance any are him. What can you do to find out what colors you have on a vehicle? I know the truck was painted in Austin, TX., which should narrow it down to several million choices. I need some spiritual help! Surely there is a way to run a spectral analysis of a paint color. I was told the colors are Chevy colors that are about 17 years old! I have my doubts. The truck was in a magazine called Pickups and Panel Trucks I was told.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Custom Paint color?
The best way that I know of to do it is take a piece of the vehicle that is painted and you can remove to an auto paint place and have them put it on a spectrograph to breakdown the colors that are in it. Tom
