Re: [Chevelle-List] tune up
I upgraded to the Petronix Ignitor, not the Ignitor II. The distributor must be pulled to install the first Ignitor that I tried, to check for end play in the distributor because of the use of a magnetic ring under the rotor. I didn't leave it in because I couldn't get it to run with it in, thought it was the Ignitors fault. Got new one in mail and let sit in box on shelf for 5 months. One day I received new Jegs catalog and saw that a different Ignitor module is available that the distributor does not have to be pulled to install, no need to re-time, etc. The new Ignitor has an LS designation in the part number which stands for Lobe Sensor. No gap to check, simply screw onto base plate, feed wires through distributor and connect to coil. Have been using for almost a year with no problems, but sure to follow the directions included very carefully including all checks as you go along.

Re: [Chevelle-List] power steering pump
Well, originally the car had A/C, so the compressor was mounted on the driver's side, but I've since added Vintage Air, which puts the compressor on the passenger side and the alternator on the driver's side.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Filling a trans from dry
Be sure you fill the torque converter first. Then fill the trans till it says full on the dip stick. Start it up and run for a minute and recheck. Remember, the trans has to be hot for an accurate fill. And on a level surface. Don't worry about air pockets. There are none. At the factory we fill the converter first, then it goes in a test machine that fills the rest of the trans. After the trans is started, the valve body and pressure lines will fill and your level will drop. You don't need to fill the converter full. About half or better will do. The pump will fill it up the rest of the way. Don't overfill. It will foam out but it won't hurt anything. Just messy.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Dash for 71 chevelle
Keith is correct. In fact, the dash was very likely painted from the factory. Even if the black "color" appears molded-in, GM would paint the dash to color match to other black plastic items. If the dash was any other color than what the resin is, they would paint to match. The color of the resin could be widely varied. Also, all molders use a percentage of "regrind" - bad parts that are ground up and melted down into new parts. The percentage is small but the color change it causes is noticeable so paint is routine. Today, all OEMs paint dash components - it is a huge industry within the car business. That you can not tell is a tribute to how well the paint works! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-chevelle-list@;chevelles.net]On Behalf Of Keith Cooper Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 9:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Dash for 71 chevelle If I have read these posting correctly, I am surprised at the recommendations. We are talking about painting a DASH. People are recommending Hammer paint and Wrinkle paint on a dash. Dash and other plastic type panels need a special paint. I do not think Hammer or Wrinkle is correct paint. I painted my dash, changing it from a lime green to a tan. I used a plastic primer and then paint designed for interior plastic. Yes, you can fill holes in plastic when done correctly and lots of time and care. I may have just misunderstand the project here or there are allot of ideas which do not seem correct to me. When done correctly, you will not be able to tell if the dash is original or painted. My dash looks like it came from the factory, which it did not. People are says to paint over the wood grain panels?? I thought most wooden panel are just a contact type of stencil which is used to give you a wood grain look?? Well maybe it is just late and I did not follow this posting correctly. All I will say is, if you are painting a plastic dash, you need to used correct paint designed for this type of material.

[Chevelle-List] Package Tray Question
I need to replace the package tray on my 69 SS. When I attempted to place the inside corner molding clips on the original package tray, a while back, it appears that the prior owner placed the metal molding, at the bottom of the rear window, upside down. The corner molding clip holes won't line up. My question is, what holds this metal strip in place on the package tray, on mine it looks like someone dumped a gallon of sealer around the rear window? Is it attached to the metal plate under the tray? Also where the sail panels meet the package tray, is there suppose to be some type of trim piece there? Thanks for any help.
