Re: [Chevelle-List] Water pump hose size for BBC
Dale, Just checked my engine. It measures 2 at the waterpump outlet. This is an aluminum GM short pump that is included with the ZZ502/502 kit. Also, the reproduction radiator hoses that I plan to install have the 2 id at the waterpump and 1 3/4 at the lower radiator. Do not have any other waterpumps to check the measurement. Just as a suggestion - ...Have you changed the batteries in your tape measure lately ?... :) Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 ACES #5102 This may sound like a silly question, but what is the standard hose size (I.D.) for a BBC water pump? A rep from Cool Flex said that every big block (not just Chevy) the he's seen has a 2 I.D. hose outlet. On their site, when ordering a lower hose kit and checking the Big Block box, they come back with a 1 3/4 on one end and a 2 reducer on the other. I just replaced the radiator in my 67 big block car and double checked the lower hose and it's 1 3/4 on both ends. I'm using a Summit (long) water pump that I've had for close to 15 years now...have they changed or do I have an odd pump?

[Chevelle-List] Tail shaft numbers
Has anybody got their number books handy? There is a tailshaft for a Muncie on Ebay at the moment and the seller is in my neighborhood. He says it is a 1970 vintage. I've got a 70 but the tailshaft accidentally got swapped out with one from a '65 Vette many years ago when it was in for a rebuild. The tailshaft that came with the car is long gone (no one cared about such things back then) but this one might be a nice number matching part for me. The number is 3857584. Can anyone look it up and tell me if it's a 1970? Also, how much should these cost? Thanks Craig Ellis application/ms-tnef

There are kits and plans to swap in F-Body 11 and 12 brakes that will give you a big disk and improve handling. Check out http://chevelles.com/techref/ftecref2.html and the links to Hotchkis and Global West. In fact, if you are going Pro Street, get very familiar with these two companies because you will be buying stuff from them. I would recommend that you decide which of the two you like better and stick with one. As a generalization, Hotchkis likes bigger sway bars and softer springs, and Global West likes stiffer springs and smaller bars. Global West is also older. Talk to the tech guys at each about what you want to do and see what your gut feeling is about them. I am sure that it is easier to tune the handling if you have parts from one of them. Imagine asking Hotchkis what shocks will go best with the Global West springs...

Re: [Chevelle-List] large tube headers
Hey Rodney. I put on a set of HSC 1 7/8 headers on my 408sbc. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my timeslips when south. I recently swapped in a set of 1 5/8 Dynomax headers, and picked up 0.2 (yes 2 tenths) in the 1/8th mile!!! No other change, just the header swap made a big difference. Get the smaller tube headers, and sell the ones you have. Don't make the same mistake. :-) good luck, Rodney. wrote: I picked up some Hooker Super Comps from Frank on this list a couple years ago... at the time I didn't realize there were large tube and small tube headers. Anyways, I'm getting ready to do an engine swap and I now realize I have large tube headers. Everything I've read says that small tube headers are the way to go. What are the effects of having too big of headers? I'm just wondering becuase I got such a good deal on these headers, I'd hate to not be able to use them, but at the same time if they're going to cause a lot of problems I don't want that either. I'm looking at putting in a 375 horse crate engine with 400 something ft. lb. of torque. Is this enough power to use the large tube headers without problem? This will be a daily driver. The heads are L-98 corvette heads if that makes a difference.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Car Console's
Tim, For Aftermarket Consoles: Who made the console? -It is a Hurst DualGate shifter, made by Hurst in the late '60's. How much was it? -Whew! $225 for the shifter, $125 for reproduction console, $200 rechrome the top plate, $20 neutral safety switch (NOS !), homemade mounting brackets (MANY HOURS !), homemade wiring harness. What features does it have? -The Dual/Gate feature allows the shifter to switch from traditional shifting (pull lever into D and leave it there), or slide the chrome cover up to expose the ratchet shift features (bang 2nd, release, bang 3rd). Why did you pick this over Stock and Custom consoles? -It was the shifter/console that was used in the 1969 Yenko Camaro's and Chevelle's and probably other high performance tuners (Nickey, Baldwin-Motion, Dana), and the fact that it is rather rare to see one installed, and it looks absolutely BITC#EN in the car ! :) Hope this helps. Kent Lewis '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 ACES #5102 Hello, In school I am doing a project on custom consoles, aftermarket, and stock consoles. I need to research the three, find out which is the most useable to the driver, and how much each cost. I need to ask a huge favor to anybody that has these. If you could fill out a little survey for me, it would be greatly appreciated. For Custom Consoles: Did you make it? How long did it take? How much money did it cost? What features does it have(cup holders, etc)? Why did you pick this over Aftermarket and Stock consoles? For Aftermarket Consoles: Who made the console? How much was it? What features does it have? Why did you pick this over Stock and Custom consoles? Stock Consoles: What features does it have? Did you install it, or was it actually stock in your car? Are you happy with it?

Re: [Chevelle-List] Car Console's
Stock Consoles: What features does it have? -I used stock 2spd console in the 1966 chevelle Malibu SS Canadian Car and added a Sun tack in clock hole.(Looked factory) Did you install it, or was it actually stock in your car? - It was stock in the car. Are you happy with it? -Had no problems but I will never use a 2spd again. Why did you pick this over Aftermarket and Stock consoles? - I was putting the car back to original. I am also going to put in a 3 auto console into the 1969 chevelle that I am doing now for the 400 turbo.

[Chevelle-List] Disc Brake Help
I have a brake question that's probably been answered many times before, but since i'm relatively new to this list i hope you won't mind me asking this. I have a 71 chevelle which i hope to start a body off restoration in the spring. It's not an original type of restoration, but more so a Pro Street restoration/modification. Question: What other cars come with disc brakes which can be swapped over to a 71 Chevelle? I've was told a monte carlo would work, but i would think that there are plenty of others. Are there? Help guys. Kyle Bennett - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey Kent, I think I might have one of those here... I took it off of a '71 4-door car I scored some parts off of... It just says "chevrolet" on it... It doesn't look like it could be anything other than a heater delete plate.. Any idea what these are worth?

Chuck,
That was exactly the information I needed. Thanks for taking the time to do
so - I really do appreciate it. And you're right about ebay...I was actually
hoping that the seller was on this list and would drop me a note but no such
luck!

The "584" extension housing was used on all '70-vintage Muncie four-speeds
except the M22, when used in Chevelles. The M22 installed in Chevelles
utilized a large output shaft, and an appropriately different housing:
casting #3978764. Cost? Depends on location, how badly you want it, and
how badly the seller want to past with his "treasure." I'd say between
$25-$50 would be the going price. Hard to say with all the "idiots" bidding

The 3857584 was available on M20 and M21 muncies after 2/65. As far as the "idiots" statement we won't go there but if you don't like the prices don't bid on them. how much money can one spend in time and phone calls looking for a part?
