  When I was 16 my first car was a 65 Corvair Corsa & it had 4 carbs 
  and a 4speed and could really give 283's all they could handle. The speedo 
  went to 140 & I had mine up to 125 & got scared that the ft end was

And they had great bucket seats that fit lots of different bodys from my first 57 Bel Air to my present 65 Malibu (same #s) even the trim is the same except for only the outside piece being chrome and the inside being painted.  All you have to do is recover them in the right pattern.

Hey Steve,
Always good to hear from a fellow officer & car 
nut!
Thanks for the offer but I'm 48 years old with 20 years in 
as an Ohio cop, 15 with the same agency.  I am an instructor, a patrol 
officer, a part-time supervisor,a field training officer & a former swat 
member.  I am getting promoted next week to Sgt. 
I only have 5 1/2 years until I'm eligible for retirement 
so I don't think I'll be going anywhere else.
I currently own a 1968 Malibu with a 350 4 speed. It was 
originally a 327 L79 car. I hope to build another 327 for it 
someday.
I've owned a bunch of musclecars over the years including 
two other chevelles, Mopars & even a couple of Fords.
You can see me & my car at

Re: [Chevelle-List] Corvair ???




The corvairs were definitely innovations for their time. 

They were fun & very different than other cars on the 
road at the time. Even with all of their problems, they were good cars in my 
opinion, especially compared to some of the junk that Detroit has produced since 
then.

I'm in the Cleveland area.  I guess I 
just have SoCal envy.. :-) (or any other part of the country where you 
can drive classics all year round).  
I understand where you're coming from Dave. Ohio 
winter's suck! It's hard not to envy those that live in Ca. or Fl. when 
you're shivering in your boots while you stand in snow & gaze at your 
beloved Chevelle under the car cover.

Yeah, I guess you make a good point about all the stuff that is in 
Ohio.  I do happen to enjoy driving to Summit (45 mins) when I'm buying 
new parts.  Carlisle is an annual tradition for a group of us.  I 
think Chevellabration would be an 8 hour drive for me.
Steve made some great points too. Aside from the weather, Ohio is 
really pretty "car friendly". There are lots of car related things to do 
& organizations around here. We're also pretty centrally located for a 
lot of car stuff going on in the Eastern or Midwestern part of the 
country.
It's just too cold!  Br... My thermometer at 6:30pm reads 10 
degrees.  My garage is both un-insulated and un-heated.  Actually, 
last night it was so cold that my fluorescent lights wouldn't turn on out 
there.
I 
agree!  Cold Sucks! I have to work out in it all night! Try 
standing in the middle of the highway trying to clear up an auto accident 
when it's 10 degrees with a howling wind & blinding snow & every 
other driver is irrate & wants to run you over!
As 
for the cops, there's good ones to be found everywhere -- except in my 
rearview.
HaHa! I understand. Yeah, there are good cops & bad cops just 
like there are good & bad mechanics, plumbers, etc. But really, what we 
usually get upset about is when they "catch us" when we're doing something 
we know we really shouldn't be doing. It is natural to bad mouth the cop 
because he wrote us a ticket "just because we laid rubber for 100 
feet...sideways" He was just doing his job. We all know it, we just 
don't want to admit it.  Human nature.
Be 
careful out there,

Dave,
  
where are you at in Ohio?
 
While I agree with you that some of the boys in 
blue in some places, mostly hiway guys and some little town guys, can be 
a little "tight", I know one great city cop that talks common sense. 
He's a great member of our Tri-State Chevelle club. In fact we made him 
our Sgt-At-Arms :) He's on this list so be expecting some 
comments.
 
As for the winter and cold ok ...have to 
agree a bit there. Pretty hard to do much including work on cars. While 
my garage is heated, when you do something where you need to get rid of 
fumes letting a 10 degree wind come through kinda shivers your 
wrenches.
 
But the one thing I will have to disagree with 
you on is the general statement that Ohio is not the car friendliest 
place in the world. Ok ..well maybe not THE friendliest ...at least in 
the sense that you refer to, but with Jegs, Summit, Flaming River, and a 
whole bunch of other car related businesses I can't even think of being 
located here, and the great shows in Columbus such as Good Guys, big 
events at the raceways, being centrally located so we can go to 
Chevellabration in a few hours, Muscle car nationals in even less, Indy 
for a while host of car related events, and even Carlisle on the other 
side. did I mention Michigan above us?
 
 Well I think you get the point

They 
are rear-engine cars and basically hollow in the front. AFAIK Nader's 
contention was that they were not safe in an accident for this reason. On 
top of that, the rear engine made them fishtail more easily on turns on 
rainy days, etc, and people who were not used to handling a rear-engine car 
sometimes wiped out or even spun out in them. Finally, they are air-cooled, 
which makes them bad for commuter traffic. That's all I can remember 
OTTOMH.
 
On a 
positive note, they have 4-wheel independent suspension like the Corvette 
and transaxles like modern front wheel drive cars. it was pretty innovative 
for it's time. I also think they are pretty cool, but I guess they are 
basically "girl cars" to some people.

Another reason to come to Phoenix in the winter.  I don't go every weekend,
but try and make it down at least once a month - especially during cooler
weather.  How can you not go see 2 or 300 cars that gather EVERY SATURDAY
NIGHT!?   These are consistently high quality cars. No junk.  Many for sale
with the signs required to be discretely positioned low and inside.  The
participation goes way up during January auction/show time, too.

There were 2 models. The Monza and the Corsa. One was
considered to be more "deluxe" than the other, but right now I'm not
sure which one it was.

Corvair ???

 

I owned
a 65 Corvair Monza convertible a lot of years ago. It had 4 one barrel carbs
& a 4 speed. I wish I still had it! It was a pretty good car. The early
ones had a lot of problems but by 65/66 they had worked a lot of the bugs out
of them. I bought mine used (but in excellent condition) for $800. It would be
worth about $10,000 today.

They
are rear-engine cars and basically hollow in the front. AFAIK Nader's
contention was that they were not safe in an accident for this reason. On top
of that, the rear engine made them fishtail more easily on turns on rainy
days, etc, and people who were not used to handling a rear-engine car
sometimes wiped out or even spun out in them. Finally, they are air-cooled,
which makes them bad for commuter traffic. That's all I can remember
OTTOMH.
On a
positive note, they have 4-wheel independent suspension like the Corvette and
transaxles like modern front wheel drive cars. it was pretty innovative for
it's time. I also think they are pretty cool, but I guess they are basically
"girl cars" to some people.

Dwight,
    I put polygraphite bushings on my Chevelle while I still lived in 
Pennsylvania.  The front sway bar bushings didn't fit right (too big) and 
yes, everything squeaksNext time, I'm just going to put the stock ones back 
on.  After all, they worked fine for 20+ years.

  I'm getting ready to redo the suspension on my 72 El Camino and would 
  like to use polyurethane bushings but, have heard several horror stories about 
  the urethane bushings squeaking.
  Anybody have any experience with these bushings?  Are graphite

  Hate to spend 300.00 or more on the suspension bushings that will drive

Sorry guys.  Been in the mid-70's all January here in the metro Phoenix
area.  (That's almost 10 degrees warmer than usual - even for here).110
in July and August is no different than 10 in January and February.  I lived
in Massachusetts once.

But it's our show and cruise season.

Once again, I feel compelled to plug the greatest car spectacle I've ever
attended - Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale.   I was there last Saturday and
I've got to say that it just keeps getting better every year.  Everything
from Dusenbergs to Ferraris.  But, muscle cars dominated the procedings and
have taken the world's fancy by a storm.  Where once the European exotics
generated the most interest, things are shifting to classic Detroit muscle
now.  Chevelles were extremely well represented this year.  Check out the
following link and you'll see what I mean.  Search on Chevelle:

 http://barrettjackson.com/auctionresults/default.asp

A lot of the reason for the high prices is that deep-pocketed baby boomers
from all over the world come to Scottsdale in January.  Barrett-Jackson is
the premier event and has spawned several others here, too.   At
Barrett-Jackson, 8000 registered bidders vie for around 800 cars - hence the
higher prices.

The auction is only part of the spectacle.  Hundreds of vendors.  Absolutely
a must see if you're ever in the neighborhood in January.  Come to think of
it, it's a good reason to come in January.  That and the 75 degree sunny
weather.  Hell, I got a little sunburn Saturday!

Dave,
  where are you at in Ohio?

While I agree with you that some of the boys in blue in some places,
mostly hiway guys and some little town guys, can be a little "tight", I
know one great city cop that talks common sense. He's a great member of
our Tri-State Chevelle club. In fact we made him our Sgt-At-Arms :) He's
on this list so be expecting some comments.

As for the winter and cold ok ...have to agree a bit there. Pretty
hard to do much including work on cars. While my garage is heated, when
you do something where you need to get rid of fumes letting a 10
degree wind come through kinda shivers your wrenches.

But the one thing I will have to disagree with you on is the general
statement that Ohio is not the car friendliest place in the world. Ok
..well maybe not THE friendliest ...at least in the sense that you refer
to, but with Jegs, Summit, Flaming River, and a whole bunch of other car
related businesses I can't even think of being located here, and the
great shows in Columbus such as Good Guys, big events at the raceways,
being centrally located so we can go to Chevellabration in a few hours,
Muscle car nationals in even less, Indy for a while host of car related
events, and even Carlisle on the other side. did I mention Michigan
above us?

 Well I think you get the point :)   Hang on man ...spring will be here
in a matter of days!  January is almost over!

RE: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings

Title: Message



Polyurethane or Polygraphite?  Funny, checking a dictionary 
and "polygraphite" doesn't even appear.  Doing a Google search for 
'polygraphite' brings a lot of references and most with uppercase spelling and 
is a registered trade mark of P-S-T.  I wonder if they're essentially the 
same thing but one is a trade mark?  Kinda like photocopy machines and 
'Xerox' maybe?

I'm in 
the Cleveland area.  I guess I just have SoCal envy.. :-) (or 
any other part of the country where you can drive classics all year 
round).  
 

Yeah, 
I guess you make a good point about all the stuff that is in Ohio.  I do 
happen to enjoy driving to Summit (45 mins) when I'm buying new parts.  
Carlisle is an annual tradition for a group of us.  I think Chevellabration 
would be an 8 hour drive for me.
 
It's 
just too cold!  Br... My thermometer at 6:30pm reads 10 degrees.  
My garage is both un-insulated and un-heated.  Actually, last night it was 
so cold that my flourescent lights wouldnt turn on out 
there.
 
As for 
the cops, there's good ones to be found everywhere -- except in my 
rearview.

Dave,
  
where are you at in Ohio?
 
While I agree with you that some of the boys in 
blue in some places, mostly hiway guys and some little town guys, can be a 
little "tight", I know one great city cop that talks common sense. He's a 
great member of our Tri-State Chevelle club. In fact we made him our 
Sgt-At-Arms :) He's on this list so be expecting some 
comments.
 
As 
for the winter and cold ok ...have to agree a bit there. Pretty hard to 
do much including work on cars. While my garage is heated, when you do 
something where you need to get rid of fumes letting a 10 degree wind 
come through kinda shivers your wrenches.
 
But the one thing I will have to disagree with you 
on is the general statement that Ohio is not the car friendliest place in 
the world. Ok ..well maybe not THE friendliest ...at least in the sense that 
you refer to, but with Jegs, Summit, Flaming River, and a whole bunch of 
other car related businesses I can't even think of being located here, and 
the great shows in Columbus such as Good Guys, big events at the raceways, 
being centrally located so we can go to Chevellabration in a few hours, 
Muscle car nationals in even less, Indy for a while host of car related 
events, and even Carlisle on the other side. did I mention Michigan 
above us?
 
 Well I think you get the point :)   
Hang on man ...spring will be here in a matter of days!  January is 
almost over!
 
   
Steve

RE: [Chevelle-List] Rebuilding a z-bar

Title: Message



I 
can only guess but I'd say the ball stud is stuck in the seat that's inside the 
z-bar.  Never pulled one apart myself but I would guess a good yank would 
do it but you might ask for more experienced advice.  
 
My 
GM parts catalog shows the lower spring (z-bar to frame) is the same for 64-67 
(group 0.844, # 9776993) - see http://www.team67.com/groups/group.000/clutch_pedal_linkage.jpg for 
an exploded view.  The diagram doesn't show a second spring but the parts 
listing shows:
 
0.844 SPRING, Clutch Pedal Pull Back
64-67 Chevelle (283/327) 9776993  1  push 
rod
64-67 Chevelle 
(283/327) 1  
push rod return.
 
Leads me to believe that both springs are the 
same.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings

2003-01-22 Thread Herbert Lumpp




Dwight,
 
I have the PST Polygraphite bushings at each pivot point on my 76 
Vette.  It handles nice, doesn't ride harsh (in my opinion), but it does 
squeak, which makes it sound like an old car that needs some work.
 
My Elky on the other hand, has Global West Del-a-lum bushings at each pivot 
point.  It rides about the same as the Vette, but doesn't make any noise 
(except for the exhaust).  In fact, I think if I had 15" wheels and tires 
instead of the 17", the ride would feel much softer than the Vette.
 
I guess the point I'm trying to make is I'm sold on the Del-a-lum bushings 
and highly recommend them.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Can I use this Camaro rear?

It will not fit as Camaros are F bodies and use leaf spring suspension.  Our Chevelles are a 4 link coil sprung setup.  
posi differentials either have a little "S" clip in the einter or a spring loaded assembly.  The GM units have the S clip while aftermarket ones have the spring load setup.  If  they are both 8.2" rears, the gears and carrier will bolt right into you existing housing.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Can I use this Camaro rear?

2003-01-22 Thread Trooper

Bill,
  Camaro is a leaf spring car. Your car has coil springs. So whole rear
exchange is out. If they are both 8.2" ten bolts you may be able to swap
carriers and make yours a posi.

I'm toying with the 
idea of a gear swap on my '67.  I'm still in 'planning mode', and someone 
pointed out to me yesterday that maybe I should install a limited slip 
differential while I'm at it.
 
Interestingly 
enough, I found out this morning that a friend of mine has a complete 10-bolt 
sitting in his back yard.  He doesn't know much about it, except that it's 
supposed to be a Positraction unit that came out of a Camaro (year 
unknown).I can probably take it home for a song, so I think I'll go have 
a look next week.  Experiences with this?  Do I just measure end to 
end to find out whether or not it'll fit?  What else should I be looking 
for?  I wouldn't know what a limited slip differential looked like if it 
bit me in the a**, much less who built it (e.g., Eaton, Auburn, Dana, 
etc.).  All I can think to look for is:- Casting numbers (he didn't 
see any, so...)- Determine gear ratio (be nice if they were 3.73s :o])- 
Check that the gears look 'okay' (no rust, scoring, etc.)- Verify

RE: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings









I suppose you
could go with poly sway bar bushings for stiffer handling and rubber body
mounts so that the ride itself is not so stiff. Might be a good combo for a
street car.

I used PST's Super kit w/polygraphite bushings in 
the front of my 68 El Camino. In five years,I never heard a squeak and they 
really took the slop out of the front end. Don't use them in the rear as they 
tend to bind things up on a street car.
My 69 El Camino will have Del a Lum bushings in 
it,though. Expensive but better.

  Anybody have any experience with these bushings?  Are graphite

I'm glad to see the big 3 back in the (Hi-PO) market. I believe if they 
follow thru with support and service that they can starting pulling 
the "fast & furious crowd"  away from the rice burners and get 
them in some US iron. They need to built some stripped down versions (like the 
old Roadrunners)that are cheaper to buy and that will help expand the base 
of interest in performance cars by maybe allowing young guns the chance to buy 
in.

[Chevelle-List] Rebuilding a z-bar

2003-01-22 Thread K. Kaya

Title: Rebuilding a z-bar



Anyone ever rebuilt a z-bar (bellcrank) for a ‘64?  How does the ball-stud at the end come out?  I’ve removed the retaining ring but the ball stays put.  Am I just not yanking hard enough (all right, all right, stop chuckling...no jokes please, just advice).

Noticed also that I need two springs (clutch linkage return springs) to install the z-bar in place, however all the catalogs I have only show spring sets for 66-67 (two different sizes) and 68-72 (both identical sizes).  I’m assuming the springs for 66-67 will work for me as well...correct?

Thanks,
Kurt

Most places that sell covers already have the size of the cover you need.
Even if it's custom made. Call them and tell them what car you have and they
can fill your order. One of the best covers I ever bought was from Calif.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings









Personally
I don’t recommend polyurethane bushings unless you are racing or doing some
other hard driving that warrants them. Not only can they squeak, they also make
the ride very stiff. If you are just driving the car on the street normally, I personally
think you would be better off with rubber bushings.
