Re: [Chevelle-List] Checking engine oiling

2001-11-19 Thread richard schaefer

If you use the correct priming tool, you should get oil to the top of all rockers.
Without the tool, the oil will only go to one side.   A correct tool will direct oil 
to both sides.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Exhaust Question Headers

2001-06-29 Thread richard schaefer


Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List


I used doug thorley header on my 72 (same/similar to 70 ) and had minimal problems.   
The place I bought them from, sent me a welded bracket for the A/C.  It is much more 
sturdy than the "bent sheet metal" brackets that you can buy at almost any parts store.
   Its been many years, but at that time I called thorley & they gave me the name of a 
distributor.  Now summit or jegs or both sell thorley.  They have reasonable prices on 
all headers.

Also I know someone who swears by Dynomax headers for a 70. In summit, there ceramic 
coated headers (the ONLY way to go IMHO) for about $215.00   Last month I got a set 
for my camaro.   Also check dynomax.com for rebate info.

If you do a tall spindle swap, the front end will be about 1 - 1 1/2 inches lower.  As 
per what I've read at several locations.

Also some good online info at  http://links.chevelles.net/links   In the WorkShop area 
there are 3 or 4 sites devoted to the tall spindle conversion.
  Also in the general info area the  "Online Chevelle Interchange Page"  has some good 
stuff , including aftermarket part #'s.

I've printed and read & re read these pages as I prepare to install the GW arms - If 
they are there when I get home.
