RE: [Chevelle-List] Intake manifold gasket sealant suggestions

Title: Message



Well 
H, I've had problems with some leakage when I've tried using the rubber gaskets 
supplied with the manifold gasket set. I don't know if is because of the area at 
the corners where the rubber and gasket material meet in the corners and/or the 
rubber just does not stay in place very well while trying to mate the intake to 
the heads. I've just had better luck with the silicone versus the rubber 
gasket.

If you have an air car already, do you have to get 
rid of the original unit or do they make parts to keep the original look?

Rich;

I just went through this with my 71 w/fact air.  It was not working so was 
going with Hot Rod Air out of Dallas. When I received it I did not like the 
quality. It was a generic system. Could not use any of the original air 
system. Sent it back. Have refurbished the original system and reinstalled 
it.  I did want to get the evap off of the firewall, but since I have a nice 
built 350, doubt I'll ever go with a big block.

I'm sure Vintage and others make a specific system for your 66.  Here is a 
good article on a 64 install.

[Chevelle-List] 15% off all Chevelle El Camino hoods for January

2003-01-04 Thread John Nasta
Hi all,

I was just thinking that it would be good to offer a discount to the
Chevelle list every month on certain items. So, to get things started, you
can save 15% off all Chevelle  El Camino hoods for the month of January by
using the coupon code HOODS during checkout (you will get the usual 5% off
plus an additional 10% off w/ the coupon code).

You can find them all on the Chevelle Hoods  Accessories page at:

oldcarnetwork.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGYCategory_Code=Chevelle_H
ood

Of course hoods have to be shipped by truck freight, so anybody who is
interested will have to approve a shipping quote (I'll get back to you with
that) before the order is processed. As with all truck freight items you pay
actual shipping (usually between $75 and $125), it is always less expensive
to ship to a business, somebody will need to be there to receive the item
and inspect it for shipping damage, any damage must be reported to the
driver at the time of delivery, and no shipping damage claims will be
accepted for any reason once the driver leaves.

I'm also open to suggestions for future specials. I have a few ideas but
would like to hear what you guys want/need the most. I'm trying to stick to
items that will be of interest to the most people.

Thanks,
John Nasta

[Chevelle-List] wheels and tires

2003-01-04 Thread Stephen Lentz

OK everybody, I just spent an hour at Big-O Tires looking at something to
put on my stock 14 SS rims.  I'm sure you get this question all of the
time, but what is the biggest tires you can run on stock rims for the front
and back tires?  The car is a 70 SS.
By the way, what are a good brand of tires to use that will get some
traction for those special occasions on the street and still have decent
life?  The guy behind the counter was trying to push BF Goodrich Radial
TA's.  I did like the square profile that you would see from behind the car.
I am currently running General XP2000 P235x60xR14's and I hate them. The
measure almost exactly 25 in outer diameter (too small and look like they
belong on that green 65 on Ebay)-yuck.  I like the old fashion look of a
tire filling the wheel well (without rubbing or clearance problems, of
course)
The guy behind the counter (who only understands low profile import tires)
thought I might like a set of P245x60xR14 BF Radial TA's.  The outer
diameter measures 25.6.  Will this tire look that much bigger in the wheel
well?  I want to see as little inner fender well as possible.  Any help
before I go back to Big-O would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. anybody in the Phoenix area is invited to stop by the Nifty 50's
restaurant/bar in Phoenix tonight for a car show/sock hop with my car club
(Desert Classic Chevy's).  It should be a blast!  arrive before 5:30pm to
beat the cover charge.

Kent,
 Sweet! I hope everything goes well for you. I've been 
debating getting a ZZ502 for my 55 Belair project because its a heavy car. 
Just wondering if it is worth getting for its bolt-on performance or if other 
members found it is better to just build up a 454. They sure seem like a 
great hi-performance base motor that will provide a lot of opportunities to 
build on (if 502 horses and 567 foot-pounds don't crack a smile ;-) ). I

  to the suspension, handling, fuel system, and trying to make it look "factory"

Re: [Chevelle-List] wheels and tires

2003-01-04 Thread Kent Lewis
Steve (again), :)

  I'm running a set of 15X8 Corvette rally wheels (front and back) on my
'68.  The back will have the BF Goodrich Radial T/A 295/50/R15's which fill
out the wheelwell very nicely.  The front will be same tire in a 265/50/R15.
Gives the car a nice rake to it.  In the rear I was running a set of air
bags to keep the car from squatting on the tires, due to an original and
very used suspension.  In the front, I had some of the screw in spring
helpers (?) to keep the tires from rubbing.  The BF Goodrich Radial T/A is a
classy tire.  It's the ONLY tire I will buy for my classic.  Until I have
the need for a set of slicks. :P

RE: [Chevelle-List] wheels and tires

2003-01-04 Thread Stephen Lentz
John,
The BF Goodrich site doesn't list a P235x70Rx14.  How old are your tires?
If my monkey math serves me right, your sidewall height must be about 6.5
inches.  Using the same math, a P245x60Rx14 would have a 5.8 inch
sidewall.  BF does list a P225x70Rx14 with an overall diameter of 26.5
inchesapproximately a 6.3 inch sidewall.  I don't know if the 225's
would look OK.  I would think they would be a little thin from behind.  Let
me know if you can still get the 235x70's somewhere...they sound like a good
overall size.

OK everybody, I just spent an hour at Big-O Tires looking at something
to put on my stock 14 SS rims.  I'm sure you get this question all of
the time, but what is the biggest tires you can run on stock rims for
the front and back tires?  The car is a 70 SS.
By the way, what are a good brand of tires to use that will get
some traction for those special occasions on the street and still have
decent life?  The guy behind the counter was trying to push BF Goodrich
Radial TA's.  I did like the square profile that you would see from
behind the car.
I am currently running General XP2000 P235x60xR14's and I hate
them. The measure almost exactly 25 in outer diameter (too small and
look like they belong on that green 65 on Ebay)-yuck.  I like the old
fashion look of a tire filling the wheel well (without rubbing or
clearance problems, of
course)
The guy behind the counter (who only understands low profile
import tires) thought I might like a set of P245x60xR14 BF Radial TA's.
The outer diameter measures 25.6.  Will this tire look that much bigger
in the wheel well?  I want to see as little inner fender well as
possible.  Any help before I go back to Big-O would be greatly
appreciated.

P.S. anybody in the Phoenix area is invited to stop by the Nifty 50's

Hi Craig,



Just an
FYI, the new sail panel boards (we have lots in stock) do not come upholstered.
When you buy a headliner, it comes with extra material for covering the sail
panels  sun visors. If you want to cover just the sail panels, you would
have to buy some running yardage of the headliner material, or attach your
existing material to the new boards. If you need new material, let me know and I'll
see if I can order it for you on Monday. Sounds like you need new boards either
way though. I'm honestly not sure how the clips are attached.

[Chevelle-List] 64 Convertible question

2003-01-04 Thread gm2



My 64 
Convertible has fabric that has fallen down between the trunk and the cabin of 
the car. Right now, the fabric is hanging down into the trunk area and you 
can see right into the trunk when looking over the back seat. 


Since this 
car is new to me, I don't know how it attaches to the car the correct way. 
Should there be some type of board under the fabric to make it sturdier or will 
this cause problems when the top is put down. I want to seal this opening 
back up to avoid any exhaust fumes that may seep into the trunk area and find 
its way into the cabin of the car. Can anyone tell me how this should be 
fixed?

Thanks,

Hi Gary,



The fabric piece you are talking about is called a well
liner. It is supposed to be there, and it is not supposed to have any cardboard
backing, but you are also not supposed to be able to see into the trunk. I'm
honestly not sure how it is attached, but I would guess that this is one of those
things covered by the Fisher Body Manual.

Also, for 1965: All Chevrolet

All 327 engines have the plant designation and production sequence (last six

Steve,

 The car is not done yet, still building. Thereare a 
lot of things toupgrade when changing from a 
lonely 307 w/"slip-n-slide" trans and a one legged 10 bolt, etc. to a 502 
w/bullet proof 400 trans and a Moser 12 bolt. Not to mention the 
changes to the suspension, handling, fuel system, and trying to make it look 
"factory" under the hood. But, my "Honey Do list" is done. And I 
have the green light to finish the Chevelle !! 

Only 159 days till Chevellabration 
2003.

Kent,
 How do you like that 502? does it feel better than 
an LS-6?

Re: [Chevelle-List] 64 Convertible question

2003-01-04 Thread Wayne



As usual Johns right. The only peice of wax/board 
is the seat back that screwed to a channel to the back of therear seat. The WELL 
LINER gets screwedto the metal that extends up from the floor and where the rear 
back seat attaches too. The side ans back of the liner are attacher to the rear 
bulk head and the inner out 1/4 panel area. They go behind the soft top fastner 
strip. Unless your familiar with the application, IMO this is a job for a 
interior shop.

  Hi 
  Gary,
  
  The 
  fabric piece you are talking about is called a well liner. It is supposed to 
  be there, and it is not supposed to have any cardboard backing, but you are 
  also not supposed to be able to see into the trunk. I'm honestly not sure how 
  it is attached, but I would guess that this is one of those things covered by 
  the Fisher Body Manual.

  question
  
  
  My 64 
  Convertible has fabric that has fallen down between the trunk and the cabin of 
  the car. Right now, the fabric is hanging down into the trunk area and 
  you can see right into the trunk when looking over the back seat. 
  
  
  Since 
  this car is new to me, I don't know how it attaches to the car the correct 
  way. Should there be some type of board under the fabric to make it 
  sturdier or will this cause problems when the top is put down. I want to 
  seal this opening back up to avoid any exhaust fumes that may seep into the 
  trunk area and find its way into the cabin of the car. Can anyone tell 
  me how this should be fixed?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Gary

I 
have to agree with you on the looks Herb. I have seen a few at shows that I 
really like!

While I have read mixed reviews on Vintage Air, I 
haven't found any others that have sold me yet on making a great product 
that looks and works great in our Chevelles. At this moment in time I am 
thinking that's what I'll be buying here soon.

   Do you need cardboard

Gang:
 I need to replace the sail 
panels, which are now warped, on my 69 SS. My headliner is in great 
shape. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells the 
correct material for sail panels without having to purchase the headliner 
and all. Or better yet anyone who may have a good set of Black 69 htp 
sail panels. Thanks for any help.
 If I do install new sail panels 
how to you connect the clips that hold the panels in place from the old 
ones?

The black
plastic ones are available but I have never seen the metal ones. My 68 Olds has
the satin silver metal buckles, so I know what you mean. I dont know how to
take them apart though. Maybe something in the Fisher Body Manual?

p.s. With truck freight, the shipping charge is pretty much the same whether
it's one piece or a few going to a given address. So, you can save big-time
on shipping charges by shipping more than one piece at a time. Something to
keep in mind at any time really.

We picked up the right oil pan and a new pick up
