[Chevelle-List] My 72 Malibu

Thanks all for the suggestions, they helped a lot!
Suspension was deffinately high up on my list, the car
doesn't handle too well right now. How involved is it?
Where can I get the PST kit and how much does it cost?

Thanks again for all of the ideas.

 Hey Bill. Welcome! My suggestion would be to somehow
 upgrade to disc brakes
 first off. You can only go as fast as your brakes
 will allow in my opinion!
 It can be done pretty cheaply if you get the
 complete setup from a junkyard.
 I got a complete disc brake setup for my 72 for $150
 if I remember
 correctly. I ended up buying a lot of new parts
 simply for cosmetic reasons.
 (Booster, master cyl etc...) But the calipers and
 Mastercylinders are very
 cheap new(Around $30 each). I had the old rotors cut
 ($8 ea.) and used them.
 The only thing really important is the spindles. The
 other alternative is to
 spend the big bucks and go with a Baer brake kit but
 you'll blow a lot of
 your budget on that alone. Another worthwhile
 upgrade is a complete
 suspension kit from PST with the Polygraphite
 bushings. Again junkyard
 swaybars can be found cheaply and the front bars
 from 2nd gen Z28 and Trans
 Ams will fit. (1970-82) (usually $25 at junkyards)
 I did all that suspension stuff to my car at the
 same time I aded the front
 discs. It now handles and drives better than a new
 car! Good luck with your
 72!

  Hello All,
  Just thought I would introduce myself and ask for
 some
  advice. My name is Bill, and I live in Louisville,
  Kentucky. I own a 72 Malibu, and I would like to
 make
  some improvements. The interior/body is good, it
 has a
  th350 trans, 350 small block (not original), drum
  brakes (would like disk), Edlebrock performer
 manifold
  and Edlebrock carb w/ manual choke. It has a cowel
  induction hood, so I would like to get cowel
 induction
  working on it. My main goal is to make it a
 300-400hp
  daily driver. What do you guys recommend? I don't
 know
  that much about cars, but I am trying to learn as
 much
  as I can in the process of upgrading my Malibu. I
 can
  only spend about $3,000. Any advice would help.
 
  Thanks!!!
 
  Bill

I know it's a lot of time/money/work. I already spent
way too much on buying the car. I'm sure I'll
deffinately spend more on the car than it's worth, but
that's half the fun, right?

 DANGER WILL ROBINSON _ DANGER!!!  Sure its some
 improvements...NOW.  First make it stop a bit
 better, then maybe run a little quicker.  Than maybe
 replace some worn interior trim.  Then you realize
 that the paint isn't quite as nice as the
 interior...so lets paint it,  but heck I may as well
 paint the frame too, so off comes the body
 IT NEVER ENDS...

I believe rating on the engine was about 165hp when I
looked it up. The engine seens to be in pretty good
shape, but I'm not an expert. I do already have
electronic ignition, so I guess that's a plus. Headers
were another thing at the top of my list (besides
suspension/brakes). Recommend any brands in
particular??

 Hi Bill, Welcome to the list.
 You didn't say what hp your 350 is or what condition
 it is in. A small block
 makes horsepower by compression  breathing. 300 to
 350 hp is not that hard
 to get out of a 350  it sounds like you already
 have the beginnings with
 the intake  carb. Working within a budget is tough
 but things like a mild
 cam kit, headers  an electronic ignition system are
 not that expensive 
 should fit into your budget. You don't need
 extravagant aluminum race heads
 but a good set of heads with 202 valves is a must
 for breathing on a 350. So
 are a good intake/carb  a decent set of headers. A
 solid shortblock making
 around 10 to 1 compression with the above bolt ons
 will make good power.
 The hood I can't help you with.
 The brakes are not really hard but do involve quite
 a bit of work. There are
 a couple of options as to how to go about it. There
 are kits made that will
 include everything you need to completely convert
 everything over to disks
 with new parts but they are somewhat expensive. You
 can also salvage used
 parts from other cars or buy  swap new/used parts
 from other individuals.
 Some of the other members can give you a lot more
 details on what's involved
  the expense of this changeover.
 Good luck on your Malibu!

Re: [Chevelle-List] Rotisserie

2002-02-07 Thread GRAYCAV56
Josh,

I may do the same for my metal magician! I picked up the project from Redi-Strip yesterday and U-Hauled the carcass back to Johnstown. If you have never seen a car after Redi-Strip is done, you need to do so some time. Wow.

The car is completely devoid of any rust, bondo, paint, sealer, wax, goo or french fries. You have fresh tin to play with. Even the lead seams used by the factory disappear. When I dropped off the car last night, my metal guy was truely impressed. The amount of expensive labor that Redi-Strip will save him (and eventually me) is huge. Plus there won't be any hidden surprises. All the sheet metal is there without makeup.

I did find a few areas that will need repaired that I thought were solid, but since this one is my AACA Hershey project car, I won't skimp. I was also surprised at the quality of some of the previous repairs as there was a significant dent in the trunk lid that I had no idea was there, of course now the dent and puller holes are glaring me in the face.

Cost? $1000 for the body and roughly $100 each for the doors, hood and trunk. I didn't do the fenders since one is shot and the other is in really good shape as is.

Tony

 Thanks again for all of the ideas.

   Bill,  A complete suspension rebuild is doable in the garage/driveway,
but it CAN be intimidating.I have re-done mine (front  rear) twice. 
It was far enough apart in time, that each time was a learning
experience.  I won't say that it was easy, but definitely doable by a

TECH Forums at   www.chevelles.com  (where you signed up for this list). 
 Also Check the   WorkShop area of http://links.chevelles.net/links  
Some very good internet links there.   Also several folks on this list
will be glad to help you thru the difficult parts.

Before you buy/do anything, decide what goal you have in mind for your
chevelle.   Drag Racing???  Sports Car Handling???  Daily Driver???  
Original Restoration??? Each will require  different parts and
approaches.   There is a link to P-S-T, as well as several other
suppliers at http://links.chevelles.net in the supplier/suspension area. 
  A complete stock rebuild kit is $250-$300.00 for the front.  

My personnal experience is to make sure that you use quality parts (MOOG,
TRW, DANA) .   I used a kit for the first rebuild, and after only
50,000 miles EVERYTHING needed replacement again.   This time around, I
shopped for MOOG parts.  They will cost a bit more, but IMHO well worth
the cost.

It sounds as if the rear seal on your master cylinder is shot.   You can
buy a rebuild kit,  but I'd suggest that you get a new cylinder.  The
cost will be less than $30.00

I usually put my car in heated storage from Nov-march, and never start it, till the day i take it out, my thinking is if you start the darn thing, your exhaust gets all wet from the condensation, and if you dont run it long enough, guess what the ole rust starts from the inside of your exhaust pipes, this of course is short term storage, long term might be a different story, cause its allways good to keep every part lubed and in working order, ive never had a problem yet doing what i do, i just pull the battery out, i dont even raise it off the ground, like i said ive never had a problem this of course is my opinion.

I believe rating on the engine was about 165hp when I
looked it up. The engine seens to be in pretty good
shape, but I'm not an expert. I do already have
electronic ignition, so I guess that's a plus. Headers
were another thing at the top of my list (besides
suspension/brakes). Recommend any brands in
particular??

 Hi Bill, Welcome to the list.
 You didn't say what hp your 350 is or what condition
 it is in. A small block
 makes horsepower by compression  breathing. 300 to
 350 hp is not that hard
 to get out of a 350  it sounds like you already
 have the beginnings with
 the intake  carb. Working within a budget is tough
 but things like a mild
 cam kit, headers  an electronic ignition system are
 not that expensive 
 should fit into your budget. You don't need
 extravagant aluminum race heads
 but a good set of heads with 202 valves is a must
 for breathing on a 350. So
 are a good intake/carb  a decent set of headers. A
 solid shortblock making
 around 10 to 1 compression with the above bolt ons
 will make good power.
 The hood I can't help you with.
 The brakes are not really hard but do involve quite
 a bit of work. There are
 a couple of options as to how to go about it. There
 are kits made that will
 include everything you need to completely convert
 everything over to disks
 with new parts but they are somewhat expensive. You
 can also salvage used
 parts from other cars or buy  swap new/used parts
 from other individuals.
 Some of the other members can give you a lot more
 details on what's involved
  the expense of this changeover.
 Good luck on your Malibu!

  Hello All,
  Just thought I would introduce myself and ask for
 some
  advice. My name is Bill, and I live in Louisville,
  Kentucky. I own a 72 Malibu, and I would like to
 make
  some improvements. The interior/body is good, it
 has a
  th350 trans, 350 small block (not original), drum
  brakes (would like disk), Edlebrock performer
 manifold
  and Edlebrock carb w/ manual choke. It has a cowel
  induction hood, so I would like to get cowel
 induction
  working on it. My main goal is to make it a
 300-400hp
  daily driver. What do you guys recommend? I don't
 know
  that much about cars, but I am trying to learn as
 much
  as I can in the process of upgrading my Malibu. I
 can
  only spend about $3,000. Any advice would help.
 
  Thanks!!!
 
  Bill

 Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Global West rear trailing arm
 
 Herb, 
   Have you done any test to you car to see just how well it handles
 without the rear sway bar and aftermarket upper control arms.
 Thanks
 Michael

I can't speak for Herb (and his car likely has not seen much high
performance driving quite yet), but I have had my Chevelle in extreme
situations with the full GW setup.  I have the full negative roll front
end (tubular arms, 11 F-body brakes, beefy springs (maybe the big block
or race springs), 1 1/8 sway bar, and Koni adjustable shocks; and in
back I have my 1967 untouched springs and upper arms along with GW lower
tubular arm and Koni shocks.

I've been at Willow Springs race track with the Chevelle and the car
felt great.  A very slight understeer, but fixable with the gas pedal.
I did a self timed lap and got 1:48, which is an 83 mph average.  Speeds
in Turn 2 (a high speed right hand sweeper) work out to 1.03G average
(470 foot radius, 85-90 mph through the turn).

If you can match a cross section of the weatherstriping, it will work wherever it 
comes from.  The JC Whitney catalog has a variety of weatherstriping and they show 
cross section views.  See if you can match it up.  I have seen the catalogs in 
bookstores or you can visit their web site.

Buckets vs Bench is  a personnal decision.   I went with late model buckets just 
because they are more comfortable.

Jeff I am very wary of even the good repro vinyl.  I ordered a PUI interior several 
years ago in Tan.   Within 3 years it was green/mustard where exposed to UV light.  
I've mentioned this both here and at chevelle tech, but never heard of anyone else 
with the same problem.   

When I replaced the door panels I went with parts from Distinctive (owned by ACC now) 
and so far no problems.  But the car is exposed to UV a lot less now.  

Good Luck

Vinyl!Ouch!!
I am re- doing my chevelles interior,, going all black. Made my own door
panels in tweed and vinyl, cause those aftermarket ones SUCK. (mylar comes
off),  Also, does weatherstripping have to be ordered from one of those
expensive catalogs?? I've seen all kinds of weatherstripping at local
upholstery shops, thinking some of it will work..
Will be doing the seats in cloth, but right now i'm undecided on installing
the original bench, or finding a set of buckets with a console,,, any
thoughts?? its a 68 chevelle

Bob,

  Sounds like your rearend was set-up by someone who knows what they are
doing.   There is a method used to tune a posi.  I read that it was used
by road/solo racers to help achieve better traction coming out of the
corners (?).  If my memory serves me correct, the method used to test the
posi was to leave one rear tire on the ground (with the weight of the car),
remove the other tire and then with a homemade tool (described below) attach
a torque wrench an apply pressure to see at what lbs/ft. of torque the
rearend would break loose from the other side.  The goal was to get it break
loose at 120-140 lbs/ft. (?).

  The homemade tool:  was a 1/8-1/4 plate of steel, with holes that allow
the plate to be placed over the axle studs, and sit flush against the brake
drum.  Then a nut  was welded to the center of the plate for the torque
wrench to attach too.

Folks
   I got the following email from a coworker.  As I recall, the truck is an early 
90's chevy with 305 and a 5 speed manual tranny.  Can anyone offer up a suggestion on 
what is going on?  Thanx.

rick
Hi, OK, let me run this by you and see if anything crops up in your Chevrolet brain. 
As he was leaving Albany the clutch stopped working (pedal to the metal). So he shifts 
without using the clutch and then he hears and feels a bang and it won't come out of 
5th gear. 

When we crawled under it, the line from the master to the slave was broken off at the 
slave. We've replaced that and tried to bleed it. Only get a drip out of the master 
cylinder. (He's going to pick up a new one or rebuild kit tomorrow.) We even 
disconnected the line at the master cylinder and still only a drip. 
In addition, the bell housing has a crack in it that has a line of oil on it. I don't 
see how that would cause any of the problems. BUT he had the oil changed at Avis Lube 
a couple of weeks ago and we can't seem to find the transmission oil filler plug. So 
OK, I would think if it was a problem involving lack of lubrication that he would have 
had some whining, grinding, etc. etc. noises before he busted a gear or something? He 
was able to drive it all the way home in 5th and said no untoward noises. 
So any ideas?

It never gets started! It gets parked in my big garage when it starts
getting cold, out comes the battery, on goes the cover, in go the mothballs,
and there it sits until the weather warms up 10 or 11 months later. At least
it seems that long.

My buddy's '67 SS sits right next to it. When the anticipated Spring day
comes, we do a lap around the block - which is about 10 miles out here in
the country! Our wives usually sit out on our deck, and they tell us they
can hear the Chevelles the whole time...the traditional first Spring lap is
mostly at WOT. They also remind us that tickets are expensive and
embarassing, but so far we've been lucky, I guess. Can't wait to get to try
our luck again - I'm sick of winter.

  Hi Bill, Welcome to the list.
  You didn't say what hp your 350 is or what condition
  it is in. A small block
  makes horsepower by compression  breathing. 300 to
  350 hp is not that hard
  to get out of a 350  it sounds like you already
  have the beginnings with
  the intake  carb. Working within a budget is tough
  but things like a mild
  cam kit, headers  an electronic ignition system are
  not that expensive 
  should fit into your budget. You don't need
  extravagant aluminum race heads
  but a good set of heads with 202 valves is a must
  for breathing on a 350. So
  are a good intake/carb  a decent set of headers. A
  solid shortblock making
  around 10 to 1 compression with the above bolt ons
  will make good power.
  The hood I can't help you with.
  The brakes are not really hard but do involve quite
  a bit of work. There are
  a couple of options as to how to go about it. There
  are kits made that will
  include everything you need to completely convert
  everything over to disks
  with new parts but they are somewhat expensive. You
  can also salvage used
  parts from other cars or buy  swap new/used parts
  from other individuals.
  Some of the other members can give you a lot more
  details on what's involved
   the expense of this changeover.
  Good luck on your Malibu!

  much
   as I can in the process of upgrading my Malibu. I
  can
   only spend about $3,000. Any advice would help.

[Chevelle-List] 1972 Chevelle Rebuild

2002-02-07 Thread Kevin M. Bowman

Well, a little bio on me  Just getting into cars and decided to buy a
1972 Chevelle from a friend.  The body is OK (some mud), but for the price,
not bad.  It has the stock 350 and I am replacing the Saginaw 3spd with a
Turbo 350.  Right now, there is no trans in the car and the motor has a
whooped cam (minimum).  The car has set for the last 6 yrs as a project by
the wayside.  Luckily, my friend is a body man and is helping with the car.
Add that to the motor man in the bunch, I am will be OK.  

Before the car hits the road, I plan to do some work.  If someone can help
me with ballpark figures, that would be great...

Upgrade to front disc brakes (plan to look in salvage yards)
Power Brakes
Would like to upgrade to rear disc, but have not seen too many mentions of
it...
Suspension:  shocks, springs, drop spindles
Rear end: posi unit with 3.73 gears
Rims and tires - street
Rims and tires - strip (not a priority)
Ignition System
Race Exhaust with Cut-outs for open header at the track
15 Gallon Fuel Cell

I am 'designing' an engine right now.  Trying to find the best bang for the
buck.  I realize that 11's on pump gas will be difficult, but it may be
possible.  Even low 12's would be great.  I plan to run electric accessories
to maximize horsepower gains.  Based on my reading, I will most likely
stroke the motor on the rebuild.  After the car hits the street for awhile,
I will debate on the 6-71 blower vs. a big block.  IF (more like WHEN) it
becomes a full blown race car, I will price the better fiberglass available.

As far as my past, you can tell I run with a lot of Mustang guys..  I told
everyone it would be an old muscle car, an old wagon, or an 87-93 Mustang
Coupe that I would build.  Money and convenience landed me the Chevelle.
GREAT CHOICE for me

If anyone races at Norwalk, send me an email offline.  Or if you are
somewhat local and know where some great hangouts are, write me  offline as
well.

to323 with the H pipe and 333 with open headers. Open header made 
the most torque. This is second article I have read about the X

suspension is a night and day difference.  Btw, I used TRW springs on the
front, not the ones from GW, but only because I had just bought and
installed the front springs before I did the front disc brakes from GW.

 Brad,
  I just love hearing good things about the global west set up. I
bought
 and installed the whole set up including the 12 brakes, tubular upper
 control arms, rear tubular lowers, del a lum bushings front and rear and I
am
 using an AGR steering box. The pieces are in my 65 elky which is not yet
 finished. I`m using a 383 small block w. 700R4, 3.31 posi rear and can
barely
 stand it until it`s finished. I have to keep telling myself to take my
time.
  I would love to hear more about chevelles using the global west setup
 particularly about handling impressions and experiances. Can you share
more?
 Anyone else? Please I`m dying here. thanx, bob Myers

I have used alot of the after market parts PUI door panels and seat covers I
am impressed with. I haven't had problems with the door rubbers either, not
sure of make. I hate the after market wheel well chrome, never fits right
and can be very agrivating to make it look good.

 I am putting repro door panels, arm rest pads  bases, window cranks,
inside
 door handles, and dash pad in my own 69 El Camino. I have to say I am very
 happy with the quality of all of these repro interior pieces.

 I too am about to redo the interior of my 71 and was going to go with the
 after market stuff but is it true that they are not any good? Anyone else
 have bad experiences with this stuff?

 I totally restored a Canadian 66 Malibu SS. I did the hole car myself
except
 for the finishing of the body and painting the outside body.
 I also restored a 69 chevelle last year and maybe this year I will get the
 1967 Beaumont done or I have a 1971 chevelle that needs doing too.
 I have some pictures up on web site and in the classified section I have
 pics of the 1971 chevelle.

  Did any of you see the article in March Car Craft about the X pipe 
  installation on the mustang exhaust system. It was a horsepower 
  comparision with the H pipe and open headers. The X pipe made 335 hp 
  to323 with the H pipe and 333 with open headers. Open header made 
  the most torque. This is second article I have read about the X 
  pipe. They seem like a good investment compared to the 
  cost.Magnoflow sells it for $80. thru retailer muffler 
  shops.12 hp at the rear wheels increase Any thought 
  s?
