[Chevelle-List] Upgrading to a factory high-torque starter?

2002-02-25 Thread Raj R.



Hey guys, I upgraded the starter in my 67 barracuda 
to a high-torque mini-starter and I'm absolutely in love with it.. I'd like to 
do something similar for my Chevelle. I bought my barracuda starter from the 
local autozone (application was an '88 Dodge RamCharger, though I think any late 
80's would have done it) for $89.99.. Much better than the $150+ for a new one 
plus its a lifetime warrantied part.. My question is-- Is there a similar 
exchange for my 71 Chevelle? It's an L48 350ci motor so there's no oddball 
qualities about it.. Any late model Chevies use a gear-reduction starter that I 
can just pick up remanufactured at the local parts store?

Thanks!

I have over $1,500 in my 12 bolt housing, gears, moser axles, c-clip 
eliminators, and brakes.  If I did it over I would have spent the extra and 
gone with the 9inch.  This decision would be based on strength and  the fact 
that I race the car and have swapped gears 3 times in the last 5 years.  The 
12 bolt will not fail on a cruiser.  I have been abusing it for 13 years 
running 10-11 seconds in the 1/4.

OK thanks for the help. I 
have agreed with the 40 series, but what about 275-40-17. They shouldn't 
be much of a taller tire then 235-60-14 that I a using now, considering the 
sidewall difference.

  Another point to consider: a taller 
  sidewall (such as a 60 or 70 series) will deflect more and is more likely to 
  rub the quarter panel under hard cornering. With that said,I 
  wouldn't expect any clearance problems with the 275-60-15. I've got 
  275-50-15's on 10" wheels on my Chevelle, and they're a perfect fit. I 
  trimmed the innerwheelwell lip on the quarter panel, and in 5 years 
  time, it's never rubbed. If you want to see how the tires look on the 
  car, here's a link to my site:

The reason a 60 will clear better than a 50 is because 
when you go with a 60 the widest tire available is a 275, where with a 50 
you can go to a 295. The narrower, but taller tire will give more 
fender clearance. This will also affect the final drive ratio - 
something else to consider when drastically changing tire 
sizes.

If you follow this link, there is a tire height calculator 
along with some other good info...

  from damaging your quarter panel?

My SS came with P295/50/R15. I think 
that they will possible rub and damage the quarter panel if I hit a pot 
hole. I'm going to try and sell them and replace with 60's. 
They look great on the car but I don't want to damage 
anything.

According to what other people have said, a 275-40-17 should have a 110mm
sidewall height (about 4.33 inches). Multiply that by 2 and add it to your
17-inch rim for total tire height of 25.66 inches. A 235-60-14 gives you
141mm sidewall (5.68 inches) times 2, plus 14 inches = 26.36 inches.

Feel free to check my math and correct me if I'm wrong.

I used Moser eliminators.  I had to cut a small amount of the axle housing 
off(1/2 inch).  The eliminators can be pressed on or some use the heat method.
 Heat the eliminator ring with a torch drop it on the axleshaft and hope it 
goes to where you want it.  Once it stops it is going to stay.  I have used 
the heat method on stock axles successfully.  When I purchased my Moser axles 
I let them put them on before shipping.

2002-02-25 Thread Herbert Lumpp


Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List


John's math is right on for the 275/40/17, but according to the tire height
calculator on Randy's Ring  Pinion web page, a 235/60/14 is only 25.102
tall.

I know I've posted this link a couple times already, but here it is again:
http://www.ring-pinion.com/calc-tire.html .

This page has a nice collection of automotive calculators including a tire
height calculator.  Just type in the three parts of your tire size, such as
275, 40, 17, then click calculate and it will tell you how tall your tire
is.

I think this is especially helpful if you're trying to move up in wheel size
but want to maintain the same overall height of your old tires.

There is a stock GM hi-torque starter.Unfortunately I don't know
the specific application where you can go to a parts store  get one off
the shelf.It is different than the stock version by a connection
from
the battery post of the solenoid into the starter body.  You can see
pictures below.  The first is definitely stock GM - not ure about the
summit/sallee.

http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/Proform/images/66268d.jpg

http://store.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/norm/SUM-G1665_m.jpg

A standard starter does not have this connection.  I went to a starter
rebuild shop and the counter guy knew exactly what I needed.  I did one
more search  found this at  www.advanceauto.com
http://www.partsamerica.com/product_images/img/pt/ATR3560S.jpg  I
looked for a starter for a 1970  402 chevelle.  The connection is very
obvious in this picture.If its a stock type GM starter  doesn't
have
this connection, it is not a high torque version.   Their price is
$58.00
I paid about the same.

John,

The calculation of the 17 sounds ok, but i think the 14 is wrong


235 x 0,6 = 141mm
141mm /25,4 = 5,55
5,55 x 2 = 11,1
11,1 + 14 = 25,1

the 14  is 25,1 tall

 I have 0,4 less space than I should have to mount the release

[Chevelle-List] manufacturing scripts emblems

2002-02-25 Thread John Nasta


Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List


I am talking with a machinist about manufacturing some scripts and emblems
that are not currently available as repros. We are working on the first
couple already. The guy is already manufacturing scripts and emblems for
antique motorcycles, and his work is excellent. If anybody has been
searching for a script or emblem that they can't find anywhere, please let
me know. We will make anything that there is a demand for. So cast your vote
to have your favorite script or emblem reproduced.

For every piece, we will also need a sample to work from. So in many cases I
will need somebody to send a used piece that we can use as a model (doesn't
matter if they are weathered or pitted, as long as we can see what they are
supposed to look like, where the mounting pins are, what color paint [if
any] is supposed to be there, etc.). Those pieces will be returned, and we
will give you a break on the repro for helping us out.

[Chevelle-List] Air Lift Kits

2002-02-25 Thread Lojac



Has anyone used the Air Lift Kits 
on their rear suspension? I was thinking about it and was looking for some 
feedback before making the purchase. Better yet, does anyone know of a 
complete kit that is offered for a 69 Chevelle. When I say complete I mean 
bags, compressor, air tank, hardware, fittings, and four way independent 
adjustment. I am looking for a bolt on kit. I saw this on Horsepower 
TV. They used it on a Dodge truck, but said identical kits were available 
for passenger cars. I went to their website, but there was not any 
information about the kit that they installed.

[Chevelle-List] Desktop dyno-ing Josh's 454

2002-02-25 Thread Herbert Lumpp



Josh,

The only heads I could find that were similar to yours are the 
GM 702. They're oval port and have the same size valves. The only 
difference is they're closed chamber and I believe yours are open chamber. 
I don't think that will matter, Desktop Dyno doesn't ask about 
that.

The other thing I need to know is the partnumber for 
your cam.

Thanks Herb,

A good place to start would be to take a straight-on picture, and include a
ruler in the picture. That would at least give me a sense of scale  the
level of difficulty to produce the piece. Is it similar at all to the 1966
Chevelle grill emblem? I have a couple of those here. If the only difference
is that it says El Camino instead of Chevelle (same size, font, etc.), I
don't think we would need a model.

I'm serious. This guy is already making motorcycle restoration parts and
wants to get into the car parts. He is also doing custom fabrications for
racing applications, and remanufacturing parts for Wankel rotary engines
that are no longer available.

You might start with a good catalog such as YO and see what's NOT out there
yet and ask about the popularity of those items - like Chevelle 300 or 300
Deluxe scripting.  Might just be a market for those.  How about 66 and 67
grille and rear panel badges of SS454 or SS502?  A lot of guys are running a
454 or a 502 in later years as well.  Take any year 396 badge and duplicate
in 454 and 502.  I think there are some 502 badges starting to show up, but
probably not for the majority of years.  Other possible numbers might be 406
or 468...I think the 383 is being done.

Someone suggested (tongue-in-cheek) about SSC badging for Super Sport
Clone.  Might sell, who knows?

Just curious, are these to be castings or CNC machined from stock?

Thanks Dale, but with all due respect, that's like the substitute teacher
asking who's not here? I would rather have people tell me what they have
been searching for and have not been able to find. It not only shows that
the part is not available, but also that there is a demand for it.

About those 300 emblems, I think the problem is that most people who have a
300 would rather buy SS badges than 300 badges. It sounds like something
that would appeal to a very limited market.

I like the idea of the SS 454  502 emblems though. I would need to have
some for reference though. Anybody have one that they would be willing to
loan temporarily?

I also like Herb's idea for the 66 El Camino nameplate, and might have to
take him up on borrowing that for a little while.

The goal here will of course be to make exact reproductions. I am not
familiar with machining terminology, so I don't know what CNC means (copper,
nickel, chrome?). The plan so far is that if it was made out of pot metal
originally, we will make it out of pot metal; if it was anodized aluminum,
we will make it out of anodized aluminum, etc. etc. The guy is very
confident though that he can stamp or cast just about anything, as long as
he has an original as a model. His motorcycle emblems are very nicely made,
and he also makes mechanical parts that are no longer available.

I'm sure someone on the list will post a nice 
picture to show how backspacing is measured. Basically, it's the distance 
from the mounting face of the wheel to the inside edge of the wheel. If 
you're planning on running a 10" wide wheel, I can tell you that 5.5" of 
backspacing (the same thing I'm running on my '71) will fit very well.

  So here's what Dyno 2000 predicts for your

  RPMHP 
  Torque
  2000 
  175 460
  2500 
  218 458
  3000 
  260 455
  3500 
  319 479

  437 510
  5000 
  482 506
  5500 
  505 482
  6000 
  512 448
  6500 
  495 400
  7000 
  483 362
  
  Keep in mind, the flow numbers I used were for a similar, 
  but still different head casting than what you're using. It's strange 
  how the torque dips down in the 2500-3000 range and then comes back strong at 
  3500. Regardless, you'll have a fun time driving this baby

2002-02-25 Thread Herbert Lumpp



No problem Larry. I'll need the CID, intake type, carb 
CFM,compression, header description (big tube, small tube, mufflers, etc), 
cam specs (lift, advertised dur., lobe sep, intake centerline), and head casting 
numbers (if I don't have the flow info for your particular heads, I'll try to 
use something close).

  Just the bellhousing.  From Engine mounting surface to trans mount surface.

 does somebody have a bellhousing lying around ??
 if yes, please measure it trans mounting to engine mounting flange.

I have a lakewood in the shed and it is 6 3/8 inches.   I can't help with
the rest.
rick

 I could also need to know the measure of the clutch pressure plate
 (flywheel
 mounting to the contact point of the release bearing)
 I have 0,4 less space than I should have to mount the release
 bearing.
 and I thougt that there might be some thinner clutches or longer
 bellhousings around.
 Any ideas.


 I also keep getting the messages twice, if I look at them directly on
 internet they are normal (once) but when I download I keep getting
 them
 twice.

 Please mail me some pictures of your project off list.

 thanks !!

 Thats funny..I have $4200 into my 454 as well.
 My dad was visiting one day and asked how much I had into the motor.
 After I
 told him he laughed and said,That's the total amount you paid for
 your 72
 Torino with all the bells and whistles back in 72. Then I said,
 Shhhdon't tell my wife that.Hee hee

  Thank You John, the carb is a Rochester  7042210QE 0872

Hey, I can answer this!  I found a great Q-Jet tuning paper at this
great page of reference papers:
http://www.corvettefaq.com/engine.asp

Or, to download it directly, click here:
http://www.corvettefaq.com/c3/QJet_Tuning_Paper.doc

It decodes your carb as:
70 Pre-1976 Q-Jet
42 1972 is the exact year
2  49-State Carburetor
1  Chevrolet
0  Automatic Transmission

This is as far as the paper decodes, but...
QE Sorry, no idea
0872 Don't know, but I would guess August, 1972?
