I would like a copy of those pages if you don't mind. I'm building a 71and I would like to duplicate the factory stipes. Thanks, Bill Vander Werf Keith Cooper wrote: I don't know if the are any differants from a 69,70,71 etc, but I have an assembly manual for a 71 Chevelle that show all the placement and measurement for the SS strip if you want it. I will have to bring the book home and scan the pages for you. Let me know.Keith - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [Chevelle-List] new member / carb question
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Thanks for the welcome(s) and the replies. The guy who is selling the two Q-jets said he would snap some digital pictures tonight and send them to me. I should be able to tell from the pictures whether or not they will bolt up, but he doesn't know how many CFMs they are. He is not asking a whole lot, so maybe I'll take my chances. The only down-side is that the longer I take to get this carb thing sorted out, the longer the car sits, and I'm anxious to get it running. I was going to buy a new Carter AFB 600 CFM from Jegs for about $200, but if one of these used ones will work, I can save a lot of $$. To answer Tim's question, I live in Brooklyn, NY but I found the El Camino in Charlotte, NC and towed it back on a trailer. It seems some guy bought it as a running car just to pull the 350 out and rebuild it for an 85 Camaro. Then he junked the body. What a fool to pick apart a running, numbers-matching classic! Then the guy at the yard sold the transmission, which at that point was less of a loss. If I could have, I would have paid the original guy not to pull the motor. I'm sure there are plenty of 350s out there in wrecked cars that he could have rebuilt. It does have all of the emblems on it, although some of them should be replaced. Luckily I found it before it got completely picked over. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Chevelle-List] more 69 El Camino questions
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Well, since I'm new here and have a new toy to play with, I also have some questions. As I mentioned earlier, a picture of the car is at http://johnnasta.com/elcamino/1.jpg Does anybody know how many 69 El Caminos were made (or to go one step further, how many of them came with 350s)? Any idea of the values in #1 - #6 condition? Also, you can see in the photo that it has vertical bumper guards. I have heard conflicting stories, some saying that these are very rare and some saying that they are not. Does anybody know? I'm actually thinking about going without them because I think it would look better, but if they were a rare option maybe I should keep them. Any opinions on that? Finally, does anybody know what gear ratio would be in the rear? I haven't had a chance to look into it. Thanks, John Nasta p.s. Want to know what I paid for it? Well, I was supposed to pay $300 for it, but then he sold the transmission so we dropped it to $200. Then when I came to get it, one of the guys working there backed into my Olds and put a small dent in the rear bumper. I had just had those bumpers re-chromed about a month earlier, which ran about $275 each, so we settled on him giving me the El Camino for fr*e to make up for it. Unfortunately for the guy who hit my Olds, his boss said it would come out of his pay. It actually was not a bargain for me either since it will cost me more to get that bumper redone again than I was supposed to pay for the El Camino. At that point I just wanted to get the deal over with though. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Chevelle-List] Cowl Hood
I am looking for a 70 - 72 Cowl Hood with a flapper style cowl. This hood can be in any shape because I am going to modify it for my car tow vehicle. I know what I can get a new one for, but would prefer a cheaper dented one. I live in the mid-west. Tim D.

I get between 18 and if I am really good, 25. I have a small 305 too I thought I would mention. Some of these guys can clarify it more thn I can I'm sure but here ya go. It's just a system with two fuel injectors on top very similar to a carb, but its controlled by a computer. This allows for the more precision than a carb because the computer decides the air/fuel mixture an dwhat not given the conditions. Then there is tuned port. They came on late 80's camaros and other vehicles that just have a fuel injector for each port. Mult-port gives you more precise a/f mixtures over TBI, but TBI runs a wet intake manifold so it stays cooler which is why you see those newer Impalas with their ice packs on the manifolds at the race tracks. :) -Dustin - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] TBI?carb question i know this might sound really dumb to you guys, but i don't know so i gotta ask... what the heck is TBI? my first assumption is throttle body injection, not sure if this is what it is or if i made it up tho. what does it do and how do you get a better mpg with it? curious because i have just invested in a 72 malibu with a 350/4bbl and drive her daily. thanks! chris 72 malibu new jersey

Re: [Chevelle-List] new member / carb question
Kelly: you up and running? Between moving things and running the road, you wouldn't think so, but I'm still here. Gonna make another trip tomorrow night, then one more week in Big Dbefore departing for the Ranch for the duration. My Elky needs a new carb...five years is good for an Edelbrock 600 I hear...gonna have to wait til we get settled though...no time to change it now. Other than that, it's running good.
