Re: [Chevelle-List] 69 Ride height
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List The 69 Chevelle should sit level using the lower edge of the door as a guide. Check your springs for the rubber spacers. Maybe the front has them and the rear does not? I have seen spacers in different thickness. Maybe somebody added them to your front springs? - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Chevelle-List] 1972 SS 454 For Sale
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List If anyone is interested, a co-worker has a 72 SS for sale. It does have the motor code of "W" in the VIN.But, the original motor is long gone. It has a 72 coded 402 in there now. Turbo 400/ 3.31 gears, aftermarket radio in cut dash.Interior pretty rough but OK for a driver. From underneath, the floors/trunk look solid - I'l look closer if someone expresses interest. The exterior is showing body cancer - Lower rears of both fenders/ bottom of passenger door / front of quarter panels on both sides. Paint is original and showing its age. Trunk & hood both have surface rust.He wants $5500. for it. He drives it daily and has 80-82,000 miles on it. I have been after him for about 2 years to sell it. But he has had it since the early 80's and was always gonna "redo" it, someday. Anyway now that it is available, I am in no way able to swing it financially. If I bring another "project" home I'll be sleeping in it. If anyone is interested, I can put you in contact with him. rick schaefer http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.htm http://chevelles.com/showroom/ricks%20motor%20-L - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Chevelle-List] Electrical Gremlins
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List A loose or dirty connection, somewhere?? You may need to check the battery cables - both ends- and the grounds between the motor & frame - frame & body - and any other grounds that you may have. OR the battery itself could be intermittently open. OR the ignition switch.OR the connection for the wiring harness from the engine bay into the passenger compartment could be loose.I've heard of all of these things causing intermittent problems.

Re: [Chevelle-List] header install problems
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List The company that does the engines for Advance is a pretty good source, a guy that I know got an engine from them a few years back, it was just a six banger 3.1 for his Calvalier, he put it in and broke it in properly and one day it spun a bearing. He went back told them the problem, he pulled the motor and sent it back. Sure he was mad that he had to reinstall the engine (front wheel drive AHHH!) but within 2 days they gave him a new motor. He still runs it now, no problems coughs or anything, and it currently has about 150,000 miles on it (he drives alot for his job, the old motor had 350,000 on it when he blowed it at 70 mph on a freeway in Ohio). He says that if the body of the car is still in good shape after this one lets go he'll do it again, he is a satisfied customer. My buddy with the 66 Impala, his 350 is from Advance, I know this particular engine very well and after 22,000 miles so far (this boat gets driven everywhere), all that has been done are a few carb adjustments and replaced a leaky head gasket (that was Adams fault!!! He put the heads on not me so I don't want to hear it). This particular bit has sold me on wanting to go the box route. I thought you guys liked crate motors though so whats with all the fuss? I feel that it is better than some moron around here rebuilding my engine and I have a total engine failure in the next 15 miles, then the guy would say I was running it too hard and to his "inspection" he would find something that looks like it was run hard during break in (I trust nobody around here, I prefer to go with a reputable company than the morons I deal with on a daily bases) On further thought though, yes, they could possibly stick me with a p.o.s. engine and void my warranty, but I would take the same chances spending $2,000 for a local builder to build the motor and it turn loose on me way before its time and he not give me any sort of garantee that it will work. All he is there for is to slap the thing togather and maybe it will work, at least with the company I have a chance at least if it don't work I can take it back. There are reputable builders around here, but they like to take thier sweet time getting around to doing something, not to mention they won't turn a wrench for less than $1,500. The next engine in my car will not be a 350 as I have seen many done, it will be a big block and I prefer to keep it the way it came from the factory, I like my baby big block. Then on another thought, I may already have my other 396 built by the time the current one lets go, but I won't have a snowballs chance in Hell of getting any of my money back if something goes wrong with the home built engine, but then again it might just be the best motor in the world but I have no luck.
