I need a new passenger side bracket for my radiator support but can't find one for a 1968 anywhere. I didn't see anything on the Year-One or Goodmark website but NPD sells a pair that fits 1964-1967 models. I could "make" them work if I had too but would rather buy the right part.

I hope someone can give me some advice. I am finishing up on my 1965 El Camino. Going to drop my fresh 450 HP 383 stroker in it. The engine block is a 1976. High performance World Product heads. What spark plugs would be the best. I hear that AC Delco are but with headers they are saying two plugs are going to badly burned.

The cam will be a Comp Cams 292 Duration Part# 11-450-8 hyd roller. The block will be .060 over for 496 cu in. I will keep the Richmond 5 sp since I can still push in the clutch. The cost will be close to $4000. The previous displacement was 427 because of the 396 crank. The badge on the front fender said 427 below the SS.

It becomes obvious when you start test-wrapping the material around the curves of the panel that this has to be done in order for it to conform. My mom also sews, quilts, etc. so it was not the first time I had ever heard of the concept. Anyway, the glue is another story. With any kind of contact cement it's important to spray both sides and let it dry a few minutes until it's tacky rather than wet (the Super 77 can says to bond when it is "aggressively tacky"). Hold the can 6 to 8 inches away, keep it moving and don't spray too much. If your headliner material is porous it can ooze out the other side and it is hard to get off. Maybe it's a symptom of the fact that I park outdoors in all kinds of weather, but mine fall down at least once a year, meaning that the material separates from the boards. I have tried 3M Headliner Adhesive as well as Super 77. Maybe some day I'll just buy the pre-done ones and get it over with.

To make room for some 2009 R/T posters that my brothers got me for Christmas, I'm going to be unframing this guy and I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in it and I have no idea it's worth.

Most of the other 68/69 Chevelle stuff I hd has been cleared out but I still have a few odds & ends left: - a few 1/64 diecasts (unopened) - a couple of frameable prints - a 1/24 scale (unopened) AMT model - a couple of Chevelle cloth patches I guess I'll farm out that stuff to ebay in the next few weeks when I have time!

[Chevelle-list] Re: Gas Prices
There's the same amount of gas whether the companies charge $2 a gallon or $4 a gallon. The only thing that really changes is the profit margin. The oil companies, oil producing countries & the politicians all talk a lot about supply & demand & crude oil productivity & refinery productivity all causing the prices to go up & down. But that's not necessarily true. If the oil producing countries cut down on their crude production or the refineries cut down on their production, there would be less product to sell but that doesn't mean it cost them any more or less to make each gallon of gas or oil. The big companies & oil producing countries are all making record profits. They charge more money because they can, not because they have too. The American consumer is being raped by the oil & gas companies. It is simple greed. If everyone in the oil food chain cut their profits by say 1/3, everyone would still be making a good profit but the price of gas would go down considerably. They won't do this of course because they don't have too. I'm all for people & businesses making money, it's what we work for & what keeps the economy going. But when is it enough? Especially when you're talking about a necessary commodity such as gas, oil & natural gas. In our society it is a necessity. Why can't they be happy with making millions instead of billions? or at least a few billion instead of many billion? Don't you realize that even if we all gave up our performance cars & everyone in the country drove cars that got 50mpg, the oil companies would then charge $6 a gallon so they could keep their profits up. It's not the oil, it's the greed that's the problem. I remember back many years ago when they use to tell us to keep your car running when stopped for a train or a red light because it used more gas to start it than to keep it running. But many years later they admitted that wasn't really true. They just wanted to sell more gas. Remember the gas shortages of 1973? Long lines at the pumps, etc? But once the price jumped up from 40 cents a gallon to over a dollar, all of a sudden there was no more shortage. There hasn't been a shortage in the last 30 years. Oil isn't the problem friends, greed is the problem. Unfortunately it isn't going to change. Of course this is a very simplified opinion of these problems. This could be discussed for hours/days/weeks/years on end but I really just wanted to vent some. Sorry for the long winded tirade. Don - I agree, our nation has not been conservative when it comes to our petroleum resources, perhaps even flaunted or wasted them in the past and present. On the other hand there have been a lot of innovations over the years that would have provided much better gas mileage, or even taken the place of some of the gas usage only to have the companies bought out by the large petroleum companies and put out of business. I have experienced this with what used to be two different customers I had prior to their being bought out and closed down. I remember because I had to take back a lot of product back from them and had to pay back the commissions. The petroleum companies are going to do everything they can to slow the introduction of anything that will reduce the gas usage in this country and their profits. Big money wants even more money and we can do very little about it by ourselves. Chuck Speake 70 Chevelle Malibu Glen Ellyn, IL

While those Mallory MAA-938 look excellent in the ohms per foot category, I don't see what material they use for a conductor. The carbon coated fiberglass conductors are pretty fragile and can't take much abuse. So I'd do more research there if it were me. Things to look for when ordering wires: HEI sets do not have a coil wire so if you don't have HEI make sure you are buying a set that includes a coil wire. Boot angles are critical in some cases. Make sure you know what works for your engine-exhaust combination. You don't want a wire to rest on headers or exhaust manifolds. I like buying a set made to length for the engine to save time and trouble, but if you take the time with a universal kit you could probably save some length and therefore resistance in the wire by making it as short as possible. Use the grease when sliding on boots and inside of boots for sliding on plugs so you don't pull the wire apart when removing it from the plug. Also, use a small amount of anti-sieze compound (available at most auto parts stores and hardware stores) on the spark plug threads and don't over torque. Steve Thanks for posting that,Steve. I think I'm going to buy that first set of MSD wires for $68.

My name is Don, I live in the Cincinnati Ohio area & I'm 50 years old. I make my living as a police sergeant for a suburban city police dept. I've been a cop for over 21 years.

But not to worry, I'll buy another muscle car (probably another Chevelle) in the next year or so. This is a great list & I've always enjoyed reading about everyone's cars & how they meet all of the challenges of owning these cars. Don Just sitting here thinking about the average age of the Chevelle guy or gal Last week everyone wondered what everyone did for a living, I just wondered what the ages are and when they got their fist Chevelle.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Age of the Chevelle owners

Re: [Chevelle-list] The Best Web Site I Have Ever Seen! > Chevelles
This was pretty good in my opinion! Don Well I am not sure if I figured it out the same as you did, but I do believe I found what it has to do with Chevelles in my mind. I think it has everything to do with Chevelles. And a whole lot more! This country was founded on and holds dear freedom above almost everything else. We have even been known to spread a little around and fight for other's freedom while making sure we maintained our own. For those of us growing up in the 60's the muscle car epitomized freedom. Especially for the teen and returning serviceman from places like Viet Nam. It gave us mobility and freedom to get around where we wanted and when. And did so in style and a whole lot more. It also incorporated some of the best of American engineering and brought the most powerful cars on earth to customers that couldn't get enough of them. For a change they were being made because of what the customer wanted instead of whatever the corporate board members liked themselves. Men like Delorean, Iacocca, Duntov, and more had to fight to get the American Muscle Car into production, only to be proven right by us and our free choices. Yesterday, Veteran's day, we thanked and remembered the military person that helped to defend that freedom that made the Chevelle possible. Today we are thankful for the military person that defends our freedom to remain a free society and not allow others to impose their "religion" and ways upon us. Surely, the freedom to do what we do with our Chevelles would be in jeopardy at the very least without the American serviceman and woman. May we always have enough volunteers to defend our way of life. I served my time and I know others here have as well. I know the tradition will continue. I hope my great grandchildren inherit a life of freedom defended and maintained by our ability to use our technology and power when necessary to defend our freedoms and those of others. I hope to pass my Chevelle on down for generations.

Re: [Chevelle-list] HEI tune-up kits
Title: HEI tune-up kits I put an Accel "Billetproof" electronic distributor in my chevelle small block over a year ago & haven't had any problems with it. ($192 plus coil at Jeg's ) I just installed a Mallory HEI distributor in a friend's small block chevelle ($159 at Summit with coil, cap, etc) I haven't started the engine yet so I can't advise on performance but it is a bolt in replacement & on initial inspection seems to be high quality. Don Looking to upgrade my HEI distributor and was looking at summit and jegs. All of the kits I was looking at have the cap, rotor, module, coil, adjustable vacuum advance, advance weights & springs, and bushings. There seems to be a bit of difference in prices. Proform-79.99 MSD-137.99 Pertronix-119.99 Have any of you had any experience with any of these? Proform good or bad? I was thinking on staying away from Accel being that my current Accel cap and rotor (stock module and coil) which have only been on there 1 year, are all worn out and carboned up and carbon tracking. I dont know if it is just because of the rest of the ignition needs better quality parts added or not. Brian Zack '70 Chevelle Malibu mailto:brianz@dpsabq.com

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: found a '63 Falcon squire wagon for sale
The little Falcons seem to be getting popular recently. I've seen a few real nice ones at car shows. I'm not sure how the aftermarket parts supply is for these cars but they're simple cars & it seems that they'd be easy to restore if you can get parts. My very first car was a 62 Mercury Meteor which is a Mercury version of the Falcon. It was a great little car that I drove for years. Don -- Ok guys/gals, I stumbled across a pretty neat looking '63 Falcon Squire wagon for $850! It's admittedly rough, but looks to be about 95% complete, and runs and drives! That little 170ci engine fired right up and purred quietly. All the glass and trim are present, and in surprisingly good condition. It definately needs restored, but for the money, seems like a pretty good deal. We always wanted something unique and different, and this thing certainly fits the bill. I've always thought the Falcons were pretty neat. This would be my 1st non GM car, and I don't know anything about them. I've not decided I would keep it or not, but seems like it could be a decent car to keep, and if I change my mind I don't think I should have much problem getting my money back out of it, and probably even a little more. I'm still weary from my Chevelle restoration, so for sure it'll be a few years before I'd get to it.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Advance curve adjustment
I thought that was a great explanation Herb! - Original Message - From: "Herb Lumpp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 6:48 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Advance curve adjustment Hi Tom, I noticed there haven't been any replies to your question "Is vacuum advance really necessary in a modified engine?" so I'm going to make an attempt... For a street driven vehicle, yes the vacuum advance is necessary as well as the centrifugal advance. Why? Because in a street driven vehicle, the engine is placed under constantly varying loads. During most normal driving speeds, the engine rpm isn't high enough for the centrifugal advance to increase the timing when needed so the timing is advanced/retarded based on the vacuum signal from the engine, depending of course on the load at the time (high load = low vacuum, low load = high vacuum). Of course at higher rpm when there isn't much vacuum signal the centrifugal advance takes over. On a race only engine where peak power and performance is achieved in a very narrow rpm band, vacuum advance isn't needed bacause the centrifugal advance puts the timing at a specified postition within a small rpm window. I'm sure I oversimplified it but hopefully it will help you understand it better.

I'm planning to replace the points with a Mallory unit, and I thought I would also play with the weights and springs to see if I can improve the performance, but I have a couple of questions. I've measured the current advance curve using tape to degree the balancer and my timing light. Total vacuum advance is 13 deg, and total mechanical advance is 10 deg, and it is all engaged (23 deg total) by about 2800 rpm. I've read that the optimum total timing advance is about 36 deg on a SBC, so that is where the timing is currently set at 3000 rpm. Timing at idle works out to be about 13 deg (BTDC). My question is, is vacuum advance really necessary in a modified engine? >From what I've read, the vacuum advance is designed advanced the timing between 1000 and 3000 rpm, but retard the advance when you go to WOT to compensate for a leaner mixture. But on a properly tuned carb (I'm currently using an Edelbrock 1405 with vacuum advance on the ported opening), the mixture doesn't go lean, in fact, it goes rich. A rich mixture takes longer to burn, so timing should stay advanced. With the current setup, at WOT the vacuum will go away, so the timing advance will be 13 degrees retarded, for a total advance of 36-13=23 deg, not the optimum 36 deg. Would I be better off to remove the vacuum advance and adjust the mechanical advance to provide the total advanced from 13 deg (idle) to 36 deg (3000 rpm)? Hope this makes sense.

I think Autozone was one of the higher priced ones too. Pittman arms don't usually go bad unless they're broken. There are no joints to wear out and about the only thing that can go wrong is the hole getting reamed over time - but it's not common.
