[Chevelle-List] Chevelle guys are the best
Title: Message I had a young man named Dave from Cincinatti come over to my house yesterday. This guy worked with me to finish getting my car body ready to take off the frame. He worked long and hard on a hot humid day. He wouldn't even let me buy him lunch. Together we removed a lot of parts, worked together to get several stubborn bolts, some of which had nuts turning on the other side due to rust eating the supports that held them in place. Had to break several stubborn rusty bolts, but that's to be expected, we got em all! I can't say enough good about this guy. I have met some of the best people that drive Chevelles in the local area.I do feel like this Chevelle commonality we have is closer to a brotherhood than anything else. Wish me luck guys as I get the body off the frame and move my car ever closer to one day driving it to cruise-ins to meet my fellow Chevelle brothers and sisters. Steve

RE: [Chevelle-List] radiator
I just ordered an alum rad from http://www.streetrodstuff.com/Products/157/. They're $298 now plus (mine was) $21 shipping and $50 for A/T cooling. A couple of other folks on Team Chevelle have purchased them and I finally took the plunge - see http://www.chevelles.com/forum/Forum27/HTML/000460.html. I talked to Dave Z, one of the owners I think, and we went through the "custom" configuration on the phone to ensure things were at least ordered right.

Only fifteen 1998 Corvettes were painted Aztec Gold Metallic (12 coupes and 3 roadsters) in 3 batches of 5. In between batches, adjustments were made to the color resulting in 3 slightly different variations. The color was thence discontinued due to production problems. So, if your 1998 Corvette has a paint code of 58, it is one of only 15 that were painted Aztec Gold Metallic. Now, wouldn't that be nice? For 1970 Camaro, there was a color called Daytona Yellow (no canary). Paint code #51. Ditzler # 2094, Dupont # 5026LH, and Rinshed-Mason # A-2119.

[Chevelle-List] Opinions= Powerglide or 350 Turbo for 67 Chevelle Malibu
Hi: I seek an opinion on the following subject. I have a 67 Chevelle that had the original 283 engine with powerglide transmission. I have replaced the 283 engine with a 383 stroker engine. Like it already. The original powerglide transmission is still in the vehicle and works good. I also ran across a 350 Turbo Transmission. It needs a little work. Question: If I am using the 67 Chevelle as a cruiser (not racing or hotdogging) should I keep the current powerglide in the 67 ? Does a powerglide work better gearing wise on a highway versus a 350 Turbo. I have heard the 350 Turbo will make a big difference on acceleration and performance but what about highway travel ?

Re: [Chevelle-List] Opinions= Powerglide or 350 Turbo for 67ChevelleMalibu
Both have the same final drive gearing of 1:1, so once you're up to speed, they are basically the same. Go with the TH350, IMHO anyway. You'll be happier with 3 gears instead of 2. I've had both, and like the TH350 much better. Heck, fuel mileage might even improve a bit. The 1st of the PG is long and high. Takes a lot of engine effort to get up to speed. Think of riding your old 10sp bike. Ever start out in 10th gear from a stop? The tall 1st of the PG has a similar effect, not that it tires your engine, just takes more effort to get there (i.e. likely more fuel). Besides, now you can set aside the PG in case you ever want to put the car back to original good luck! Ken's Email wrote: Hi: I seek an opinion on the following subject.

By the way, those of you who have tried to glue the rear bumper pad back on your '70 Chevelle bumper know how hard it is to get the old glue off the pad. I did mine the other day and used one of the 3M pads that is like plastic steel wool that you can stick on a 90 degree die grinder. About, oh, maybe 2 and 1/2 inches across.

Re: [Chevelle-List] any perticular header recomendations?
Kelly right,. The ZZ4 Has angle plug heads and D shaped exhaust ports. Headman makes a few applications with the D port flange. TryJim Pace Chevrolet. Looks like I stand corrected on that. I thought they didn't have them since both the pictures and descriptions of the ZZ4's on all the crate engine catalog pages (including Chevrolet's own) do not reflect that it has angled plug heads. I'm sure all of you that have them can't be wrongjust goes to show you that you can't trust catalogs. Kelly Jana Hanna HannaWoodworks ClassicChevyCountry
Re: [Chevelle-List] octane boost
I rebuilt the motor in my ZX-9, shaved heads, wiseco high compression pistons, bumpy cam. Wouldn't run on pump gas. Runs great with booster. I'd say it works.

[Chevelle-List] 1970 Chevelle / El Camino front fender differences
Can somebody tell me what exactly are the differences between 1970 Chevelle and El Camino front fenders? I previously thought that the EC fenders were longer, but I see that the headlight doors are also specific to each model, so length can't be the only difference. I have a 1970-72 Chevelle fender lower patch panel here, and I see that there is a separate listing to fit 1968-72 El Camino *and* 1968-69 Chevelle. I have a 69 El Camino, and I can see that the fenders on my car are shorter behind the tire than the 70-72 Chevelle. So, apparently there is some difference in the length of the fender behind the tire as well as a difference up front around the headlights. Does anybody know what the difference is in the headlight area? Thanks, John Nasta - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When the 350 came out in '67 the only Chevy it was available in was the Camaro SS. Years ago I picked up a '67 EA-coded 327/275 for my since-sold '68 Camaro convertible and was told it came from a Chevelle. IIRC I also did a little book-digging and came to that same conclusion. Brad O. There was no 210hp 327 available in 67 Chevelles; there was a 210hp 327 in the Camaro but it had a MA engine suffix code. The SS327 would be a Camaro since the 67 Chevelle SS specified the 396 minimum (at least in the US) but the Camaro could be ordered with SS trim and the 327.

[Chevelle-List] rear end question
What I want to do is put disc brakes on my 65 and I was told that B-body parts work. I just happen to have an 87 Caprice(old cop car) The problem with using its parts is the bolt pattern is different. So that leads to the second part of this.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 1970 Chevelle / El Camino front fender differences
John, there is a body line on the Chevelle that the EC and Wagon don't have It extends from the front fender into the door. If you look at a Chevelle and EC side-by-side, you'll see it immediately. (start at the door and look forward) My EC is a '72 and I found out about this while trying to get the turn signal lenses. They *are* different.

RE: [Chevelle-List] rear end question
No. It's too wide, and the control arms won't bolt up. For the front brakes, you can use B-body parts, but you'll need Hotchkis or Global West upper A-arms to make it work. You'll need a too-fat shim pack to get it aligned if you try to use the stock upper a-arm. As for the wrong bolt pattern, asking for '90 Camaro 1LE brake rotors will get you rotors, with the correct bolt pattern that fit B-body spindles, but metric threaded wheel studs. I've done this brake swap and it's s worth the effort. -Dave -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason Boivin Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 10:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] rear end question What I want to do is put disc brakes on my 65 and I was told that B-body parts work.
