Re: Re[2]: [Chevelle-List] Chevelle List
Lt4, Lt1 was a typo. the rating is 335 Hp for 96 Vette engines, as stated by the spec sheet the local dealer showed me. Probably the reason is LT4's were not an option engine offered to dealers. It only happened, cause my ex-bro law worked for GM in Bay area Calif for 32 years and when he ordered his he managed to have his cradled with a Vette motor ,and also mine as well, cost us both extra 1,379 dollars though. Was worth it cause she rides like a Caddy and performs like a sports car. you might never heard of another option on the Bucket seats, either.

[Chevelle-List] Fw: multimeter help
Hey guys... still battling my alternator problem. I think I have it figured out now though (in my head anyway). I just want to make sure I measure the resistence of my tan wire going to the alternator. I need greater than 35 ohms. I have never really been taught how to use a multimeter, just kind of picked it up and learned as I went along. I'd like to run this by some of you who know what you're doing and see if I'm on the right track. To measure resistance I think I am supposed to turn the meter to either (going by memory here, forgive me) 200 ohm, 2k ohm, 200k ohm, 2 M ohm, or 20 M ohm. I'm thinking I should set it to 2M, but I'm not sure. Could someone let me know if this is correct and maybe a quick explination why? Next, I (after turning off all power in the wire) connect one lead to one end of the wire and one lead to the other end. Will the reading say 35, 37, 49, etc. or will it be in decimal like .035? (remember I'm trying to get 35 ohms of resistance or more) If anyone could let me know if I've got this down I'd appreciate it! Thanks! (I'll give more details, updates and pictures of the engine swap, re-wiring, and flowmaster install once I get my daily driver (which now hasn't seen the road in 4 weeks (ouch!)) is back on the road!) Sounds great, but MAN are those 40 series loud! :) Rodney. 71 Chevelle El Mirage, AZ - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You want the lowest range that will still be higher than the resistance measured. This gives you the the most accurate reading. In an analog meter, on a higher range, the needle will swing over so far to zero as to be indistinguishable from it. Most digital meters are autoranging -- they only have an ohms setting and will pick the lowest range to give a mid-scale reading. On digital meters where you have to set the range, start low and work up until it no longer displays OV. (You'd want to do the opposite with voltage and current -- start high and work down.) Next, I (after turning off all power in the wire) connect one lead to one end of the wire and one lead to the other end.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Fw: multimeter help
Rodney, When using the anolog meter you want to try to get the needle to swing to middle range for most accuracy. So since you are looking for 35 ohms you want the 200 ohm setting. For reading look at the 200 scale and it should point to 35 ish when you are reading the wire.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 1968-72 El Camino rocker panels
John's question brought a related topic to mind. I know a guy on the west side of Michigan who has a '74 GMC Sprint with a numbers matching 454. It needs rocker panels and some other work. Engine is apart but it's a good block and heads - never bored, etc. It is, says the owner, one of only 79 examples built that year. I had looked at it for my nephew but I am worried about how much work is involved in rocker panels. I think it could be had for less than $2k...maybe even $1500. The engine is T1120CWX54R5007137, date code K1673, the heads are 386781 (large oval) in case anyone knows the GMC number data, I'd be interested to know if it is indeed a match to 1974.

[Chevelle-List] Tire Rubbing
Hey guys...really need your help on this. I have a 1970 Malibu convertible and continue to have front wheel rubbing problems. My wheels are American Racing Daisies (originals) and are 8X15. I really don't want to get rid of them. Originally, my front tires were P225/70R15 and rubbed real bad on the wheel wells. The coils were old, so I installed new ones and waited for 3 months for them to settle (front end was higher that the rear end). Nothing. I then installed front disc brakes with 2 drop spindles and P215/65R15 tires. Car sits great, but continues to rub, but not as bad. The rear tires are P235/70R15 and all the tires are BF Goodrich T/A radials. Why does the front end continue to rub? Could it be the 8 wide wheels on the front?

[Chevelle-List] CS-130 alternator wiring help - LONG
Hey guys.. I posted this on Chevelle Tech, but I thought I'd post on here too since not everyone reads Chevelle Tech. This topic is at http://www.chevelles.com/forum/Forum22/HTML/002584.html START QUOTE - Hey guys.. I need your help. I'm trying to wire a CS-130 alternator (the one from the 88 Olds Firenza in Techref #14) First I'll explain the history. About 4 weeks ago I set out to (with the help of a friend), pull my 307, put in a 350 crate engine, flowmaster exhaust and rewire the car with a kit from Centech. This was supposed to take 2 weeks (by my guestimate) BOY was I wrong! This is my daily driver and it's been off the road now for about 4-5 weeks. Everything is wired and working great, except for the alternator, the fuel gauge and the stereo. I'm at my wits end with this and frustrated beyond all belief. So, I decided I'd work on one thing at a time. Since the alternator is all I need to get working in order to DRIVE my car, I figured I'd start there. SO... here's the info I have gathered so far. On the alternator the S wire goes to the junction block and this is for voltage sensing. The L wire is the wire that needs resistance and causes the alternator to charge. I don't have the F wire hooked up to anything. The way my setup goes is this: From the fuse panel there's a tan wire that says to gen light which gets 12v with ignition on. This is hooked up to one side of my idiot light. The other side of my idiot light is hooked up to the L wire on the alternator plug. Then of course I have the charge post on the alternator hooked up going to the main junction block. What happens is this. I turn the key to the ign position and the gen light comes on like it's supposed to. When I start the car the light stays on and the alternator doesn't charge. When I check the tan L wire on the alternator plug with the key in the ign on position I measure 2.46v and with the car started it was I believe around 9.8v or so. I was told this alternator should have at least 35 ohm of resistance going to the L wire. The best option was to use the idiot light as the resistance and no further resistance was needed. This is how the car is currently wired and sits tonight. - OTHER things I have tried are the following: I tried bypassing the idiot light and I ran a wire from the tan wire at the fuse panel to a 100 ohm 1 watt resistor connected to the tan L wire on the alternator plug. This worked for about 2 minutes. I had great charging (14.4v) at the battery in the trunk, 14.4v at the junction block and 14.4v at the alternator post. This lasted for about a minute and then the alternator stopped charging. Since then I have had the alternator checked and it always works at Autozone. I've had this one tested about 3 times now. If anyone has any ideas or things to try PLEASE let me know. I'm borrowing a car of someone else's right now and they're not too happy that this is taking so long. Thanks for any help you can provide! Rodney. --- END QUOTE Anybody here have any ideas?

Re: [Chevelle-List] Fw: multimeter help
Thanks everyone for the replies. I left the house early this morning to go work on my car before I got these replies. I was originally trying to find the resistance in some resistance wire I got with my wiring kit, but ended up buying a resistor from radio shack. Once I KNEW what the resistance was supposed to be, I played with the different settings on the meter and eventually figured it out. As frustrating as this wiring problem is at least I'm learning how to use my meter :) Just a tip for those of you with reference type websites (Dale's comes to mind first)... if you want some traffic you might consider a tutorial on multimeters :) I tried doing a search and couldn't come up with much. The ones I did come up with were over my head and very confusing. A nice, simple, easy to follow instruction with some pictures would probably draw a lot of web traffic. Just an FYI.

He didn't sound too sure himself, but he used a lot of electrical jargon that I'm just not able to follow.

I also called Mark at MAD Electrical (some of you may be familiar with his website...

Re: [Chevelle-List] Gearvenders under/over verses 700R4
Also keep in mind that most 700R4's can't handle the same torque that a TH400/GV unit can. I've got a '70 SS396 with a 700R4 that works GREAT! I am also building a '70 vert with a ZZ502. For this project, we were originally going to go with a 700R4, but found that the 700R4 tops out at around 450 ft-lbs of torque. My understanding is that the weak link is the Aluminum input shaft. We decided to switch gears (no pun intended) and went with the TH400/GV setup. However one final noteThere are companies that are addressing the 700R4 limitations. Bow Tie Overdrives in SoCal has a modified 700R4 that will handle up to 600HP. I've already headed down the TH400/GV path, but it might be worth looking into what you can get from a 700R4 these days.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Tremec 66/67 shifters
Come on out Dale! I have one in my garage just waiting to go into your car! :-) I don't think the width of your console would be a problem. The top of the TREMEC is only about 6"-7" wide, and it comes thru the floor 1/2 - 1". I sold to a guy who installed it into a 67 GS, and used the stock auto console without any problems. I could call and get some more details from him. Dale McIntosh wrote: Richmond 6-speeds are about a grand more than the TKO. Trans height is also a concern for me as the custom console I have is much wider than the stock one and fits farther down the sides of the transmission tunnel. I might be able to massage it upwards but not much on the sides. Guess I may have to wait for someone to install one in a 66/67. Maybe make a trip to Indy and Mike install it for me. :*) Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67SS/67 Elky Dale's Place Team67 Midwest Chevelle Regionals -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Herbert Lumpp Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 11:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Tremec 66/67 shifters Dale, be careful with the Tremec.
