Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Safety
yeah i love the speed and all, but what i didnt mention was that fact that when im super nervous, my legs shake really badly. I had a jacket around my legs the whole time. Not necessarily driving stupid was a blast, people i was with made it fun.
Re: [Chevelle-List] could this be a real Z-16?
Dale: its funny but you know I have never checked that out. I do have some VIN shots of a z16 and I will look. the z16 package was an option. I will look and post more afterwards. Larry (z)

Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Safety
Being a cop today is a tough job. Unfortunetly I think besides getting a bad rep from the 3% who break the rules, that also the increased need for them has led to many of the wrong types of people/personalities to get in to the field. It seems alot of officer these days want to make arrests and TELL people how to live and do things, rather then ENFORCE the rules and remember they are not some high almight being. That's just my $.02 worth on the situation, but no matter what type of officer... I'm glad they do their job because I don't think I could do it. Mikey >Having been a cop for 20 years now, I remember those "good ol days". =S>ome were better, some worse.. than today.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Safety
I was very lucky that this was a small town cop that would rather scare the crap out of me then necesarrily prosecute. He knew I was scared when he came up to the car and I think my cooperation did ease me getting off with my license still. Although it did take me about 6 months to actually drive again because I was dropped from my insurance and couldn't get any anywhere.

Re: [Chevelle-List] could this be a real Z-16?
Larry, Point taken. I was just saying that this particular car is a mess. It would be VERY difficult ( expensive ) to restore to a worthy condition. The frame has been changed numerous times. As I said before, The VIN is about the only original parts left. Where would you even find the parts to return it to it's former glory??? Take it easy.

Re: [Chevelle-List] could this be a real Z-16?
Dan: I could show you several z16s that were in worst shape than that one that are back on the road or are being restored right now. The correct VIN with a title (only if the body/frame are there) you can completely restore one. since we are talking less then 70 cars known to exist at this time it would be well worth it if it had right VIN.

RE: [Chevelle-List] could this be a real Z-16?
For the same reason people sell SS jacks, SS radios, SS fenders etc I suppose. "The guy I bought it from told me it was" or "my buddy says it is" is always a good copout. I liked the guy selling NOS inner fender wells for a 70 LS6. Never mind the fact they'd been on the car since new, had low mileage, and the car was rearended. HmmmNOS huh? Were LS6 inner fender wells special I wonder? Dale Howdy, It seems kinda funny to me, that if it isn't a real Z-16, that he would claim it to be. Anyone who would even know what a Z-16 is, would not want that one even if it were the real deal, and anyone who doesn't know what a Z-16 is, wouldn't care if it is or not. So why bother???

RE: [Chevelle-List] Keeping a car Original???
Many shows I've been to draw the line at 30%-35% restoration effort. Items such as new paint, new interior panels, detailed under the hood, etc. Most will accept normal maintenance items such as belts, hoses, clamps, tires, etc BUT will award more points (in Original class) for GM marked hose and tower style clamps than one with hoses/belts marked Gates or Dayco and modern worm-gear clamps. It would depend on the show's host.

I know this. This is why I never hang out with him. He drives crazy as crap. Only going 100MPH on the freeway, not that it matters, and we were just in the neighborhood, not that it mattered. Now you guys know why I always take my own car or truck when going to his house. Craig, it wasnt that fun, as it would of been me at the drag strip drag racing. He was totally pumped up, thought it was cool, when I know his day will come, because that Taurus isnt made to be driven like that. Im not going to say I know the limits of my Chevelle, But I know it well enough to know those four wheel non-power discs brakes cant ever stop me fast enough. Again, there is the reason I drive 60-65 on the freeway, and always go the speed limit on the streets. I never drive crazy like he does. I have paitence driving.

[Chevelle-List] Fwd: cell phone
This was an email sent to me from a friend last month. Larry (z) --- Begin Message --- For those of you who don't know, I lost my dad to a motorcycle accident on Wednesday, June 19th. We are making it as well as can be expected. My dad was taken from us way too early because someone was more concerned with answering their cell phone than paying attention to the road. He was on his motorcycle and was stopped behind a van for some construction and the person behind him was traveling approximately 50 MPH and never hit his brakes. The accident happened in seconds and that is all it takes to have an accident. I would appreciate you all forwarding this message to your friends and family to remind them all that while at the wheel of an automobile concentrating on the road is at the utmost importance. Reading, shaving, playing with the radio and most of all talking on a cell phone are things that happen too much these days. The drivers around them are Mothers, Fathers, Brothers and sisters and loved ones ! to other people, not just people in cars. Thank you all. Mark --- End Message ---

I'd say almost every time I drive my Vette (keep in mind the engine is pretty stock and it's not very fast) someone, young or old (crusty) wants to race! I was in traffic Tuesday on my way home from work and some guy in a 5.0 next to me (with a dump truck right in front of him) starts hopping on it and looking at me!

Sorry, I figured you would reply on this one, but believe me if everyone over the age of 25 voted, I think a large number would agree. I mean just the maturaty level jump is huge between 16 and 18 is huge. It happens again at 21 and it seems about your mid twenties most people have grown up at least in reguards to more serious matters. When I was your age I knew everything and I was invincable, but now that I am older I look back and say I wish I listened to my dad... or I wish I did this instead of this. Wait till you hit your mid twenties... heck I'm afraid of what I'll be saying when I'm forty or fifty. I know how you feel and you can hardly wait to drive, but I know I did some plain flat dumb things at that age and I see even worse stuff then that everyday from young drivers. Obviously not all young drivers do stupid stuff, but I know the statistics show most young drivers get into more accidents and more tickets then any other age group. I just finally emerged from the under 25 bracket and wow did my insurance drop. Reality would maybe say 16-18 yr olds can only drive during such hours or on such roads, much like when you get a permit for a motorcycle. I'm sure you will be at least a smart drive Chad as you won't want to bang up a Chevelle or mustang or whatever, but most kids don't have that pride in their car. Also driving like any skill will get better as you do it more. I think we all made some young and dumb blunders in our day. Don't feel bad Chad... I don't pick on young driver's other then that. I'm the same way with DWI's. Just way too loose of rules. There are just too many people who shouldn't be driving. Some elder drivers scare me as well. Some of them can barely walk, none the less hit the brakes if a kid was to dart in front of them. Then there are just the unskilled. I was visiting my mom last weekend and she in reality can't back up a car unless she goes perfectly straight. She can't parrell park. She can't see very well at night. I'm sorry to say, she shouldn't be driving with full privilages. If a guy operating a crane or a tractor was like that...they would be fired. Overall... most people today think it is their right to drive a car, instead of the privilage that it is. Dave also mentions some very good points as well.

Oh yeah Paul, you are on the money! My dad never let me forget that driving was a privilege. You have the right to pursue happiness, vote, free press etc. You do NOT have the right to drive.

Mikey - Original Message - From: Chevelle 69 Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Saftey Which brings up a thought or two: We, the people that, in most cases, turn wrenches on these cars, lift heavy metal parts on and off, install glass as needed, and know from life's experiences what can happen, have more of a close "in-touch" relationship with cars. We have more of a realization of several thousand pounds of glass and metal flying down the road at speeds unknown to man just a hundred years ago. Although some of us are guilty of indulging in the thrill that a muscle car is so famous for, and I can't say I won't ever myself. I guess it's like rock climbing or parachuting..with added dangers for innocent bystanders and precious classic cars that may not survive to be passed on. Compare that to a young person ( and some older ones ) who only think to get in, turn the key, and press the pedal farther down to hurry up to get to an "important appointment". I know that accidents were stressed to me in drivers training many years ago, but people tend to think it won't happen to them and what can happen if they are not careful goes to the back of the mind. Getting there quickly while doing other things that "need" to get done are what is on their mind. The thought of the car I am rebuilding not having many of the safety features of today's cars also plays on my mind at times. More than once I have wondered what it would take to install anti-lock brakes and air bags on my 69 Chevelle. Steve - I agree too! BUT, I've seen people reading newspapers, shaving, putting on make-up, eating two-fisted hoagies, etc. while behind the wheel. A lot of people are just plain oblivious to the dangers of distraction behind the wheel. My point is where do you stop? The starting point should, in my opinion, be better driver ed programs.

[Chevelle-List] Keeping a car Original???
I had a question from a member the other day that wants to replace a few parts on his Unrestored 70 SS. It's an unmolested, unrestored, matching #'s LS6 with around 70K miles. Original paint, interior, motor, etc. He would like to replace some of the worn parts... belts, hoses, etc at what point would you guys consider the replacement of parts to put him in a Original Restored Catagory??? I believe things like a motor change, paint job, interior replacements (such as carpet, headliner, etc...) would knock him out of the Unrestored Original class. Maintanence items, such as alternator, water pump, brakes, tires, etc I think would be OK... as long as they were OEM replacement parts. What are your opinions??

[Chevelle-List] Right/Privilege?
When I was 16 it was a privilege to drive. My dad gave me his old car, a 65 Dodge Polara wagon with a 383 v-8,185,000 miles on it and a spun bearing. I worked at a shoe store for $1.35 an hour and spent all of my spare time rebuilding that engine so I could drive. I paid for my own gas, insurance, repairs, oil. tires, etc, etc. I thought it was a privilege to drive and I got crazy too. I was also envious of the guys that had hot rods like brand new Chevelles with 454's in them and 55, 56, and 57 Chevy's. Now most of the kids around here have newer and better cars than I do and don't even work. That's not only ridiculous, but bullsh-t. It is a privilege to be able to drive, but when abused the ones that give the privilege, have the right and responsibility to revoke that privilege. Whether you feel right, or privilege, respect the opportunity.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Plug Wire Recommendations
Hi Craig, I use MSD SuperConductor wires. They're a bit pricier than other brands, but they're rated at 40 ohms per foot, which is very good. The only color I've seen is red, btw. They use spark plug type terminals on the distributor cap end so they can't vibrate loose. They also use a double crimp terminal, meaning the first crimp secures the terminal to the wire, the second crimp secures the conductor to the terminal. I haven't had one fail yet. On the spark plug end, you can get various angles or choose the bendable end so you can adjust it to the angle you need. cYa- Herb Lumpp1966 El Camino, LS6, 6 spd, Currie 9"ACES 3509, MCC 528http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: crobertson1 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 6:17 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Plug Wire Recommendations I need to replace my present spark plug wires.

[Chevelle-List] Plug Wire Recommendations
I need to replace my present spark plug wires. I want to purchase a nice looking set that can be custom cut and fitted to my car. What type and brand do you recommend? I'm not racing, just showing and cruising. Thanks. Craig 69SS

MMM the good old days when cops were allowed to be cops. I bet nobody taped the arrest either did they. That ought to start something!

I was a pretty good driver except for my street racing at a local underground spot and an occasionally high speed blast at dawn in the middle of nowhere. Well that got me nailed when I got clocked at an almost unreal 132 mph in my old 70 Z28. I was very lucky I only got nailed with every charge in the book and was thrown around like a rag doll and slammed into the back of the squad car. I then was chewed out... left to sweat it out until finally he let me go only because I stopped and he was not about to call a chopper to pursue me. I was lucky it was a small town cop in ND. I thought for sure I was going to jail. Overall the experience cost me all my points in the state of North Dakota but one (so any violation would of cost me my license), about $1800 in fines, class charges, etc., 100 hundred hours of community service, and one pair of $5.99 boxer shorts.

Once the Judge at traffic court informed me that it was! 8). 8 pointsin 6 months. My 69SS was defiantly a ticket magnet back then. It took yearsto get off the high risk category from that time. There was a MD State boythe made me his life work during that time. I wonder if he's retired yet? Hewas always very pleasant when he would write me up one. Maybe Ill pay hima visit once I get the ol girl restored. Just for kicks after 19 years Istill remember his full name LOLSeriously, You realize how much a privilege it is when you come that closeto loosing it. Or loose a few friends in highschool as I did. They though itwas there right to drive and they did. Stupidly.JDHall
Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Saftey
I remember when I was 17 and driving a 58 Chevy Belair doing over 100 miles an hour on the highways not realizing what would happen if someone pulled out on you or you blew a tire and anything. Back then kids like me and maybe you though the faster you can go the cooler you are. But today Iam 54 yrs old and have a very high respect for driving and my license. Laws today are not like they were back then, if you got pulled over you would get a warning, today they take your license and throw away your keys. They now have a new law in Pa if your caught without license , insurance or registration you can kiss your car good bye, whether is new or a classic its gone to the impound yard. I remember when my daughter first got her license. She went to the store just around the corner from me and I stood there watching her drive away and waited for her to come back. Kids today dont seem to have the respect for a car ( not all kids ) they get in and drive like the wind not realizing that if for one second to take your mind off what your doing it can happen. Its a killing machine in the wrong hands and I have seen many accidents with kids involved. Its a great thing to be able to drive not having mom or dad take you anywhere again, not having to sit in the back seat of the family car. Be able to go where you want at anytime, but gotta keep in mind of whats happening around you and the other guy. Today like I said iam 54 I drive a Mercury Tracer station wagon carefully but when my 66 Chevelle Malibu finally hits the road you can rest assure I will be watching the other guy.
