Re: [Chevelle-List] car dollies
Steve, actually, they all are required to have brakes either electric or surge, most have electric. they dont make trailers without brakes. you have to make sure you have a control box for it thoug hother wise they wont work. if you end up renting, make sure it at least has a breakway switch. that will lock up the brakes in the event of the trailer breaking loose from the truck Tom
RE: [Chevelle-List] car dollies
Title: Message Both Ryder and U-Haul's rental trailers have electric brakes. Of course the U-Haul ones don't always work and the U-Haul agents dont care, but again that is another story. John "U-Haul wanted to rent me a trailer with no lights and no brakes for a 750 mile tow" Nasta -Original Message- Yep! a trailer probably is better .but I doubt all of them have brakes. I towed a Chevy Cavalier with a 3/4 truck about 2,000 miles on a tow dolly. Not sure I would want to do it with anything smaller, the brakes were big enough on that truck to handle it.
RE: [Chevelle-List] car dollies
Good point about the tranny plug. In the absence of such, a heavy gauge Ziploc freezer bag and a thick rubber band is a decent second choice. John Nasta -Original Message- Take the drive shaft out... plug the tranny with a tranny plug so it doesnt leak the fluid... tow by the front wheels. Donnie
RE: [Chevelle-List] car dollies
Tom, you did the right thing leaving the engine running w/ the automatic. That is what saved the transmission. You didn't mention that earlier though, and its not very practical for a long trip. It's better to just remove the driveshaft, and it only takes a couple of minutes (literally). BTW, I have had very bad luck w/ U-Haul trailers. That's a story for another day though. I find the Ryder trailers to be better, although Ryder not let you pull their trailer with your vehicle (you have to also rent a Ryder truck). U-Haul will let you tow their trailers w/ your own vehicle, regardless of how unsafe it may be.

Tom, with a front-pump transmission you can burn out the tranny doing that, even in neutral. John Nasta -Original Message- I have towed a few cars with dollies. I always put them in Neutral and put the front wheels up on the dollie, never had any problems. Tom

RE: [Chevelle-List] car dollies
I would recommend removing the driveshaft and putting the front wheels on the dolly. Don’t forget that the steering on a '64 doesn't lock. You wouldn't want those squirrely (unlocked) front wheels to be the only thing touching the road. You also wouldn't want to burn out the transmission, which is what will happen if you leave the driveshaft in.

RE: [Chevelle-List] car dollies
Title: Message I just bought a used one. The paperwork says for a rear wheel drive to put the rear wheels on the Dollybut I would think that if the drive shaft was disconnected it wouldn't matter. In fact the thought of towing a car backwards might freak out some old lady and give her a heart attack thinking she was in the wrong lane. I'd tow with front wheels on myself. That's what I plan on doing.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Alternator conversion
John, I seem to recall that a diode is needed in this application. The ignition circuit still sees voltage from the alternator (which is still spinning after the switch is turned off). I don't have the schematic handy, and don't remember where the diode is used. Funny thing is, I did this conversion on my '66 El Camino several years ago and did not run into the problem. My idiot light works and every thing! Go figure. I believe there is a Tech article on the Team Chevelle website on this topic. Worth a look.
