[Chevelle-List] Checking Plug Wires
I had a set of Mallory wires on my car and called the factory to inquire on how to check if they are still good. I was told to check the resistance with an ohm meter. Those wires were supposed to be 100 ohms per foot.You have to check with your factory for the spec. Larry W 65 SS

If you pick a fairly common combo your engine shop or other BBC drivers might be able to give you a good guesstimate. Make sure the TH350 or TH400 you get has the Chevy bolt pattern and not the BOP pattern. The Chevy pattern features a peak (^ shape) at the top of the housing while the BOP pattern is bowed between the 2 top bolt holes.

[Chevelle-List] re: 64 SS/Paint
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hello When painting a 1964 Malibu SS, using the Factory Code Number 916, Daytona Blue Metallic, does anyone have any suggestions as to specifics as to keep as close to original as possible? Such as clear coats, types of paint. Just wondering because you can paint with Imron, Enamel, Clear Coats and various types of paint. I want to get a paint job that is as close to original as I can. Also interested in undercarriage of car. Was the undercarriage of the car painted and if so, was it a flat black, gloss black, or what? Would it be better to paint it with a gloss black and then spay and undercoating for rust prevention in Illinois? I got a long way to go before I get to paint, but just doing my research now, so looking for advice. Thomas W.

Rogers Never heard of spaying to prevent *corrosion*... ;^) Are you going to tear the car down to the bare frame or are you looking to paint the frame while still assembled? Lots of people swear by the POR products from Restomotive Labs, and if you can find an oven big enough you could even consider powdercoating. I have a magazine article that covers the frame-off restoration of a '67 GTO. The owner/restorer went so far as to use bondo on the frame to create a totally smooth surface, among other details.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Checking plug wires
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Yes, I check my plug wires that way all the time. If they all check out OK (low resistance), the insulation is in good shape, and there's no arcing/leakage (observed with the engine running after dark) I consider them good to go. Resistance will increase with wire length so the long ones will read slightly higher than the short ones. You can also check spark plugs this way. It's not so much the actual resistance observed but the uniformity of the readings. Of course, if a person was unlucky enough to get 8 bad plugs... ;^) Brad I have been told that you can check plug wires by taking an Ohms reading on them. Is this true?

Re: [Chevelle-List] Four Speed to Automatic
Lojac,Don't bet onnot massaging the drive shaft.The 350 and 400 came with a short and long tail shaft. The 350 WILL handle a big block but it has to be in good condition. But I wouldn't recommend it unless it was rebuilt for your application.And the torque converter must match the torque of the engine. The 350 has 4 multi - disc clutches and 2 roller clutches. The 400 is the best choice. It has 3 multi - disc clutches, 1 one-way clutch and 1 roller clutch, detent solenoid, and vacuum modulator to sense engine torque controlling line pressure. This alone makes it better over the 350. All torque requirements are met and you get the right shift points. Look for these codes on the 400 1968 396 - CA 427 - CB 396 - CC ( Chevelle/Camaro) 396 - CH ( high performance) 396 - CH 1969 396 - CA 427 / 390 HP -CB 396 / 325 HP - CC 396 / 350 HP - CE (Chevelle/Camaro 427 / 335 HP - CF AlsoCG, CH, CL, CQ, and CY and the famous 350 - 300 HP Vette..

If you have a code you can't figure out I'll be glad to help. I have worked at GM Hydra-matic for the past 28 years. If I don't know the answer I can find out for you. One last comment, and this is my opinion only. The 350 was and still is a great transmission. It just wasn't built to take the torque of the muscle era. If you want a trouble free cruiser it can't be beat.

[Chevelle-List] Thoughts and advice on too many cars...
Well the wife and I are going at it. I may have too many cars. I have the following: - 1967 Chevelle SS (numbers matching) frame off -1967 Chevelle Malibu with 283 (was gonna but in a 383 and 350 turbo trans) - 1957 Chevy Belair (wife likes this one) - 1986 CJ-7 with 4 cylinder anemic engine (great condition and only 56,000 miles) I think I will sell the 67 Chevelle Malibu, and 86 CJ-7 Jeep. Keep the 67 Chevelle SS and 57 Chevy Belair. Both are worth more. Anyone interested in the 67 Chevelle Malibu let me know privately. I plan to post it on commercial services in a couple of weeks.

Re: [Chevelle-List] re: 64 SS/Paint
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List According to my SS restoration guide - All 64 - 72 Chevelle's were painted in lacquer from the factory. The nice thing about lacquer is it's quick drying - so paint flaws during painting could be easily sanded / touched up - and numerous light coats is better than any heavy one. If you use a base coat / clear coat you can end up with a nice durable finish in the factory color, but it's not the way it came from the factory. It comes down to how pure do you want to be.

Looks like the 305 has been desmogged a bit as there are a few missing connectors at the water neck. AIR is still intact and the engine looks unmolested. Interior is very good except for the dash which has a couple of cracks, seats have been redone and are excellent (burgundy color)but it's not bad for that old a car. Bed looks decent and has a rubber mat in it like mine. Front spoiler is intact and the gauges are really nice. From what I could see the odo said 54k, but I figure that's 154k Kelly Jana HannaEl Camino Countrywww.hannawoodworks.com

RE: [Chevelle-List] Four Speed to Automatic
Lojac, The TH400 and TH700 are different lengths. You will need to shorten the drive shaft if you go to a th700.Not sure of the length, people will tell you to "measure your car". The trans tunnel on thepass side at the firewall will need to be dented in a bit for clearance with a TH700. Not a big deal but a mod was required on my 1971. The trans cross member needs to move if going from a TH400 to TH700. There were existing holes in my frame I used. It sounds like some frames have correct holes and some people can use one existing hole and drill another on each side. The TH400 trans cooler lines I purchased work on my TH700. If you go from a three speed auto on the floor to a 4 speed, you can change the console face plate and shift detent plate to one for the 4 speed. Year one sells the kits, I think they are about $100.

I find the best way to have no problems with toys is to moonlight. I moonlight,wheel deal and restore cars in the mornings and then work my 3 to 11.
