Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List 3.70 and 3.73 are different. They are different pinion / ring gear combinations. A 10 tooth pinion with a 37 tooth ring gear (which Ford uses) gives you a 3.70 . An 11 tooth pinion with a 41 tooth ring gear will give you a 3.73. Close, but not quite the same.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Larry, you can find some elementary info at http://www.eaa.org/education/fuel/oxygenated.html. Just as an aside, some oxygenates can really do a number on older rubber fuel hose. I strongly encourage everyone to upgrade their fuel systems with new hose designed to be compatible with modern gasoline formulations. Hose marked 30R7 is good for carbureted engines and 30R9 works for higher-pressure systems like fuel injection. Brad O.

Before I wrecked my car I was boasting 20 mpg out of my 396 on the highway and 14-18 city driving as long as I stayed out of the throttle. As for your sons' 66, how did the brake swap go?

Considering the carb costs less than the new Holley (which is 'sposed to be the neatest thing since sliced bread) and the fact that mine is now five years old, I'd say it's a very good choice. It is calibrated for mileage over performance, get the manual choke model (1405?) for performance. Kelly C.

Well I think I forgot to mention one more important fact in the whole transaction. He also told me it wouldn't be done for almost a year. :-( I would have much less problem with the $5000 estimate if he would just jump on it and do it and get it done. Why, if shops are getting paid for their time, do they insist on putting it behind insurance work. I mean couldn'ta shop just jump on it and get it done in a couple of weeks and then get their money? Sheesh. I can honestly say that after all the troubles I have had trying to get this thing looking decent (this is about the 10th shop I've been to and the first other than Maaco who would actually take the job)that I am almost to the point of just selling the damn thing as it is and waiting until I can buy a Chevelle with a paint job already. :-( This "hobby" shouldn't be so frustrating.

As you may know, I recently got my 72 finished. My buddy (who owns the body shop) allowed me to do all the labor. (I stripped the whole car, cut off the rear quarters, welded the new ones on, skinned a door, removed and replaced all the glass, fixed rust spots, removed and reinstalled new outer wheelhouses, primed and blocked the whole body etc...) The only things he really did other than guide me were to help put the front sheetmetal on and align it, shoot the paint and buff it. Anyway, he just gave me the bill for materials only. It was $1400. It was basecoat, clear coat, and lots of Uro prime and Vari- Prime, plus seam sealers, metal ready, sand paper,etc... I can't even begin to imagine how many hours I had in doing all the prep work, but I will tell you, I started the body work in Jan. of last year, by removing the 1/4's at home and stripping the roof, doors etc... Then tho doors, hood, fenders anddeck lidwere primed,blocked, and cut in in the new color.After all that was ready, the car shell was ready to go into the shop in June and was completed in the last week in Sept. At that time I brought the painted shell home and started putting all the glass, trim and interior in.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Spatch. Sounds like the shops you are taking your car to are Auto Body Shops not restoration. Body Shops almost always put Insurance/Collision work first... that's where they can make the most money, the quickest. Look into a shop that does restoration work... I think you will be better satisifed and possibly get a better job. Maybe not a cheaper job money wise. Just remember you pay for what you get.

RE: [Chevelle-List] non-oxygenated fuel or not?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List The short answer is that non-oxygenated is plain old gasoline. Oxygenated includes additives that promote combustion-MTBE being the most common, but alcohol is used in some places. Most all gas is now oxygenated due to emissions. I'd avoid alcohol, as it can corrode systems. Otherwise, I never got too excited about it. When I lived in St. Louis, MTBE gas was all we could get, and I ran it in a blown 454 without problem.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 71 chevelle HEI problem
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List You didn't say what the load was for the relay, only the supply. However, I would expect that this relay might be providing voltage to the starter solenoid. This is a common fix for the hot soak problem many Chevy starters suffer from. If so, then I think your ignition switch is definitely suspect for the run-on problem. But first, verify for sure that this relay is in line with the starter solenoid. If it's still in line with the coil, get rid of it, see if the problem persists, and if so look to the ignition switch as your likely problem.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 71 chevelle HEI problem
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Interesting. Does this relay do anything else other than feed the coil? I would start by seeing if there's any current going through the coil lead with the ignition off, then with the ignition on, and then with the ignition off again. Also, consider these 3 tests with the indicator placed between the relay and its source of power; this will help determine if the problem is with the relay or some element located before it in the circuit.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Paint Job Prices
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hey Kelly - My sentiments exactly! I recently went through the extremely frustrating process of having my '88 Cutlass painted by a local body shop. The end result was very good (not perfect), but not before having some things redone because they screwed them up or because they didn't follow my explicit instructions as to how I wanted certain things done. Not to mention a lot of bitching to them because things were not being done in a timely fashion (3 months for a basic strip and paint and some extras). I dread having to do the same thing with my Chevelle because that job will be much more involved, and much lower on their priority list (the Cutlass is my daily driver and most of the work was paid for by the insurance company). No wonder so many car guys learn how to paint their own cars! Same thing with having an engine built by a professional. My 427 SBC project was supposed to be completed within a month (long story), and it's been 3 months and the motor isn't even assembled yet. I call the guy every week or two and it's always some excuse why nothing (or very little) has been done, and that he'll get to it next week for sure. All of the nice weather we've been having around here recently has been passing me by, sans Chevelle. Arrgghhh!!! It's frustrating things like these that really sour the old car/resto experience for me. Thanks for letting me vent.

It knocked down 18 mpg on the highway and had unreal throttle response. Contrary to popular belief it only became restrictive at 6,000. It was the best $10 i could have spent on my car.

[Chevelle-List] question: power steering pumps 327/275 horse motors?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I located a short style power steering pump from a 68 chevy 350 suburban. and I tried installing it on my 68 chevelle just to find out that it does not clear my steering box even if I adjust it as far as possible away from the steering box. I may be wrong but I think this will only fit a camaro or the donor vehicle. Does anyone know what other type of pump will fit with brackets. My current bracket has the two vertical bolts that bolt up to the driver side of the block on the driver side of the water pump while the other piece bolts to the motor mount. My question, If I find a power steering bracket with pump from a later model long style say Monte Carlo or what ever does anyone on this list know if it will bolt up and not have any alignment problems with the short style original pulley configuration ? On another note, I found a 67 chevy Impala 4-door with the 327/ 275 horse motor and it had camel hump heads, a/c, power steering missing,ram horns and, air cleaner which looks like the base plate for a Holley carb since it has the two dimples in the front back to clear the needle screws on top of the carb. Anyway is this also the base engine option for the 68 chevelle? I thought only camel humps came in performance option vehicles only? I didn't think they would carry the option of A/C.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Paint Job Prices
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I have always done my own engines. What I do is have a good engine shop clean my block and heads. Then I let them do any boring of the block. I let them do the head work, valve job,valve seals and test the heads for leaks or cracks. Then I do the rest of the assembly work myself. It is not hard to put the crank, bearing and pistons in. I assemble the spring, valve and rockers myself. Install the camshaft and anything else I want to do. Just find someone good to the block and head work and do the rest yourself. Once you have done it one time, you will feel really good, no more fears.

I recently went through the extremely frustrating process of having my '88 Cutlass painted by a local body shop. The end result was very good (not perfect), but not before having some things redone because they screwed them up or because they didn't follow my explicit instructions as to how I wanted certain things done. Not to mention a lot of bitching to them because things were not being done in a timely fashion (3 months for a basic strip and paint and some extras). I dread having to do the same thing with my Chevelle because that job will be much more involved, and much lower on their priority list (the Cutlass is my daily driver and most of the work was paid for by the insurance company). No wonder so many car guys learn how to paint their own cars! Same thing with having an engine built by a professional. My 427 SBC project was supposed to be completed within a month (long story), and it's been 3 months and the motor isn't even assembled yet. I call the guy every week or two and it's always some excuse why nothing (or very little) has been done, and that he'll get to it next week for sure. All of the nice weather we've been having around here recently has been passing me by, sans Chevelle. Arrgghhh!!! It's frustrating things like these that really sour the old car/resto experience for me. Thanks for letting me vent.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Polished calipers from Baer
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hey Michael - I'm deciding the same thing too. I think the polished ones look really cool, but with no coating of any kind the polished aluminum will oxidize over time and exposure to the elements and will require periodic wheel removal and cleaning/polishing with aluminum polish to keep it looking good. The interval will of course be affected by how often you use your car and your local climate. The paint Baer uses is actually a powder coating that is ~3x thicker than a normal coat of paint and is much more resilient, and it doesn't require as much maintenance. I think I'm going to go with bright yellow powder coat on mine, to match my yellow shocks, traction bar snubbers and BMR Fabrication rear control arm kit. HTH.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hi peoples, I just signed up on the list and just wanted to say Hi. I pick up a 69 Chevelle in about a week as part of my Xmas present. Any restoration tips would be greatly appreciated. It's a middle of the road restore case from what I have seen, but has lots of typical rust for a midwest car. I noticed that there are plenty of replacement parts available, and some buddys offered to teach me to weld them in, as well as offer the use of their welding equipment. I have a lot to learn and that's part of why I am signing up here. TEACH me please oh knowledegable and experienced ones :) It's not going to be a racing car, although it IS a sports/muscle car and will look the part as well as act it if/when I want. I hope to be able to control that and keep it to a minimum, speeding tickets are expensive ;) I hope to only drive it to work occasionally, special occasions, warm summer nights, and cruise-in's. I don't plan on competing in large shows against guys that have a lot more money than me. Right now it has a stock mid 80's 350 in it, but I think that will have to be replaced with a 396 or reasonable facsimile thereof ;) I also plan to replace the auto-magic with a 4 speed. Replace the bench with buckets, and put in a console. I know, a lot of modifications, and why didn't I just leave it as it is or buy a diffrent car? Well I WANT a 4 speed, and for the shape it's in, the price was about right and maybe as cheap as I can get started and still have something to work with. I am aware that it won't be original or as valuable to collectors or purists. I am building this car for ME !!! Not anyone else. Ok, ok, it may be part of a midlife crises thing, and I know it will be expensive! But will help to keep me busy and out of trouble ;) Therefore maybe less expensive in the longrun ? ;) If you would care to E-mail me, and/or have a web site for your car that can assist me in tips, techiniques, good places to buy parts etc. I would appreciate hearing from you.

If I can't buy my 68 back,I've been thinking about finding a nicely painted 69 SS Elky and building it similar to my old 68. However,this time I'm not going to run 20 wheels on the back again but will mini-tub the back half so I can run some 18x13's with 345/35/18 rubber. Baer has really slashed their pricing on their Alcon stuff;i.e. front 14 rotors with six piston Alcon calipers for less than $3500(normally over $6K). My ZR-1 is just too complex for me,anymore,and El Caminos have always been my favorite car. As you know,I sold my 40 Ford streetrod,57 Chev Nomad,and 68 Elky so I could afford to keep the ZR-1 when the wife got sick. Really wish I would've kept the Nomad Elky,instead.

[Chevelle-List] Update: Could it be a M22?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List From what I am finding on the 'net, this number seems to be a tad bit short. Supposed to be 7 digits instead of the 6 in my previous email. I have emailed him again asking about that as well as asking him about the P serial. That last digit of the P code should tell me if it's a m20, m21, or m22. C is the M22,... I'll wait for his response Please lord, let it be a M22!?! - Original Message - From: Graham Wooden [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 8:54 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Could it be a M22?

[Chevelle-List] Virus information update
To all Chevelle.net members, I am sorry for any trouble that anyone had by my friend opening the attachment from Mike Wood. I have seriously chewed out his ass. My Norton Anti-Virus 2001 program did not catchthe virus because the automatic update was not updating the virus definition file. It was only updating the program and notthe virus definition file. I had to go to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download/pages/US-N95.htmlto manually get the new virus file. It found two infected files, kdll.dll and kernel32.exe. The virus starts out as Readme.mp3.scr and changes to News.doc.scr, humor.mp3.scr etc, but virus is really the W32.badtrans.B@mm virus. I did not start the virus, but from all the emails returns and messages from service providers about detecting a virus, it has been sent to everyone in my address book and every website I have been. Again I am sorry. If you do not open or save the file you will be OK. I would update your Virus Definition Files for whatever virus program you are using. I am seriously embarrassed about this. I work on computers and if anyone has this virus and needs help restoring these two files, please email and I will give you instruction on how to do this repair. The Norton Anti-Virus program is not able to repair the files so you will have to manual replace these files from your Windows 95/98 installation disk. If you want, you can send your Thanks to Mike Wood:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Because he did not response to my email about the virus, I would say itwas intentionly Keith Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [Chevelle-List] Could it be a M22?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I checked at http://www.interlog.com/~muncie/history.html and it seems all 68 and 69 M22's have a main case casting number of 3925660...could there be a zero at the end of that? The page says, Muncie data shows 1968 and 1969 M22 received maincase #3925661. All documented M22 transmissions have the #3925660 maincase. It's unclear as to why this discrepancy exists.
