Re: [Chevelle-List] carb check needed

Re: [Chevelle-List] Reproduction Dash Harness
I need a new dash harness for my 64 el camino. What are some good places to get one ? I guess I need one as today when I'd turn on the left turn signal the radio would quit for about 5 seconds and then come back on just fine. Maybe it's haunted. LOL It's really the fuse block as its just about rusted away in places. I found one for 350.00 dollars at a place called MH Electric Fabricators, Inc. Anyone ever here of these guys?

[Chevelle-List] Muncie shifter handle on a Hurst shifter
Dale, I was admiring the background on the scan with the wiper arm remover tool and happened to look at your odd ball stuff page. You show a Hurst shifter with a Muncie lever. Do you know if anyone makes this adaptor. I'm not much of a welder and don't have the equipment anyway. I can't seem to get my Muncie shifter to go in reverse unless I have a spare minute or three to wiggle the handle (a lot) before getting it to go. I've also found that the time takes much longer if there are women present or another vehicle waiting for me to back up. I think I'm going to buy a Hurst Comp Plus shifter (the 8014 model) and the Hurst installation kit (the 7834 model) as well as new steel bushings and a backup light switch (Yippee- no more ugly toggle switch on the transmission hump!). Hopefully this combination using the Hurst shifter with the Muncie handle will work with my stock console and bucket seats and still look correct. My car is a 70.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Comp or Crane Cam?
Most cam problems are related to installation errors, not cams thenselfs. I would suggest the Crane simply cause almost all the CC grinds that aren't roller are on a 110 LSA. I like the Crane powermax H-260-2 grind... it has a 112 lsa. Otherwise the 255 Dual energy is a nice cam as well. That's my $.02 worth. good luck. Mikey - Original Message - From: J.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Muncie shifter handle on a Hurst shifter
Steve, I don't sell Hurst but I've used their shifters for almost 40 years in my Chevelles. The one in this particular car has been there for 15 years. One steel bushing kit, like you mentioned, and it's never given me a lick of trouble. Summit is probably about as low ball priced as anyone for Hurst equipment. Unless you know the previous owner or know all of the parts (rods, arms, shifter assy) by their numbers, I'd be leary of swap meet items. I don't know of anyone who makes the adapter commercially, but any welding or machine shop should be able to follow the specs on that page. You could probably get a high school or votech student to make one up as a class project. You'll note the specs for the shifter handle aren't given so you'd have to measure your stock tower for the bolt spacing...I imagine there are different measurements for different year towers. Good luck, Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67SS/67 Elky -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Stephen Lentz Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 1:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Muncie shifter handle on a Hurst shifter Dale, I was admiring the background on the scan with the wiper arm remover tool and happened to look at your odd ball stuff page. You show a Hurst shifter with a Muncie lever. Do you know if anyone makes this adaptor. I'm not much of a welder and don't have the equipment anyway. I can't seem to get my Muncie shifter to go in reverse unless I have a spare minute or three to wiggle the handle (a lot) before getting it to go. I've also found that the time takes much longer if there are women present or another vehicle waiting for me to back up. I think I'm going to buy a Hurst Comp Plus shifter (the 8014 model) and the Hurst installation kit (the 7834 model) as well as new steel bushings and a backup light switch (Yippee- no more ugly toggle switch on the transmission hump!). Hopefully this combination using the Hurst shifter with the Muncie handle will work with my stock console and bucket seats and still look correct. My car is a 70. Do you sell Hurst goodies or do you know anyone who can beat Summit's price/service? Thanks, Steve --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[Chevelle-List] '69 El Camino SS side stripes
Anyone have any photos of a '69 Elky SS with the factory striping down the side? Was this just an option? Where can these stripe kits be purchased? Link? Any estimate of their cost? When I bought my car,it had Heavy Chevy decals on the rear quarters. After today,that is no longer the case.
