[Chevelle-List] 327 oil breather question
I have a small glitch I would like to try to work around if possible- my 327 is from '67, and has an oil breather that is mounted under the intake manifold, over the cam. I don't have the original intake, and am using one from a '68 327. I don't have the heads on the motor yet, so I haven't been able to check, but will the '68 intake fit properly over the breather? I was told I could take the breather out if I'm using valve covers with breathers, but I was planning on using classic valve covers w/the 'Chevrolet' logo on them. Can anyone tell me if they have had this issue or if they know if the '68 intake will fit over the breather? Thanks, Jim '66 Malibu __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I have polygraphite bushings in the front and it doesn't seem to ride too hard to me, and it only squeaks in very cold weather (freezing) and even then not too bad. I think it boils down to a matter of personal preference. It does handle pretty nice for a heavy car.

Hi Dwight, The bench sets are available right now for 1968-72. You'd need to specify whether you have spring or foam backrests. Unfortunately they are $25 to ship because they are so huge and fairly heavy. You can find them at SF00130 and SF00023.

I found a new supplier for bucket seat foam sets and unlike my previous supplier (who always seemed to have them on backorder), they list separate sets for 1966-69 and 1970-72. They say that the hog ring locations are different for each of these year ranges even though the overall shape of the foam is the same, and that these foams will be a better fit than the ones that are supposed to fit all of those years because the hog ring indentations are in the right places. Anyway, just passing along the info that there seems to be a source for more accurate reproduction foam sets (they are also more expensive, so I will continue to carry the others for the price-conscious, just remember to order early because they are always backed up).

RE: [Chevelle-List] bucket seat foams - 1966-69 and 1970-72 A-body cars
Well, it's a company, not a guy. I don't really want to say right now because guys like me do research to find these people, and giving out the names only gives is a chance to lose sales and hand information to competitors, especially since I just found this out today. I'm not saying that to be rude to anybody. I thought it would be ruder if I didn't answer at all, so I hope nobody is insulted. I don't think any of the parts houses really like to freely give out their vendors' names. John Nasta -Original Message- Who's the guy John???

RE: [Chevelle-List] 327 oil breather question
Yes you can. When I bought my 67 Elky it had a later model cast iron intake and I replaced it with an Edelbrock - cannister fit fine in both instances. I have it plumbed into the air cleaner and use later model valve covers for oil filling. Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67SS/67 Elky Subject: [Chevelle-List] 327 oil breather question I have a small glitch I would like to try to work around if possible- my 327 is from '67, and has an oil breather that is mounted under the intake manifold, over the cam. I don't have the original intake, and am using one from a '68 327. I don't have the heads on the motor yet, so I haven't been able to check, but will the '68 intake fit properly over the breather? I was told I could take the breather out if I'm using valve covers with breathers, but I was planning on using classic valve covers w/the 'Chevrolet' logo on them. Can anyone tell me if they have had this issue or if they know if the '68 intake will fit over the breather?

[Chevelle-List] frt springs
I tried doing a search in the archives but kinda fell short. Has anyone changed to Moroso trick coil springs up front? How much will my front end sag with BBC on there w/ alum heads, intake, etc. and a fiberglass hood? Is it worth replacing the springs from sbc springs to different one? The funny thing is the moroso springs are listed for both sbc and bbc applications. I don't mind a little more squat in the front end... anyone's two cents worth or experience here would be great. Thanks Mikey
Re: [Chevelle-List] Rebuilding a z-bar
Kurt, There are two different sized springs, one small for the fork to retain the adjustor rod and the larger one to hold the pedal up which attaches from the z-bar to a bracket attached to the body. I pumped grease into the Z-bar until it started to put slight pressure against the pivot balls. Good luck. Bob A.C.E.S. #1164 T. C. #375 65 Malibu 85 El Camino 95 Camaro (totaled R.I.P.)
Re: [Chevelle-List] Texas Swap Meets
Maybe we could have a mini get-together at Decatur like some of us did a few years ago. A friend of mine has some spaces there and has invited me to join them for the weekend. We could grill some burgers and hang out together,if anyone's interested. I'm going to try to attend a couple of the Arlington meets,Pate meet in April,and the Super Chevy event at the Texas Motorplex. Have already put in a week of vacation for Chevell-Abration in June.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 70 for sale
Jason, Back in June of 1984 while serving in the US Navy, I was stationed at the US Naval Shipyards in Norfolk, VA. Being an enlisted man, I didn't have much money. But I managed to find a one owner '68 Chevelle Malibu that was traded into a small local car lot. I remember seeing the car for the first time one evening on our way through town. I made my buddy pull into the lot so I could check it out. My heart was PUMPING ! This was it ! I was at the lot the next morning before they opened. Played my best not really interested act, but in the end they still got what they were asking for the car. So, I made payments until it was paid off. Now I was the second owner. I still have the '68, its parked in the garage waiting for me to finish it. And thanks to Jason, I realized the little car lot is still in business, after all these years. The link he provided is that same little car lot where I purchased my car almost 19 years ago. Thanks for the memoriesIM LOVING IT !

Re: [Chevelle-List] 70 for sale
Kent I still am in the Navy. I drive by there and drool all the time. Was always afraid they were like the rest of the dealers on Little Creek road. RIP-off experts. Charge 49% interest. I got ripped by a dealer down the street from CJs. Signed a contract with him and he was to sell my Regal on consignment. I found a buyer and went to get my car back and he wouldn't give it back. I tried to be nice and dragged my cheif down there with me and the dealer said Your just as stupid as your wife if you think I am going to give you your car back. Thought my cheif was going to kill the guy. Had to get Navy legal involved and they convinced him that he had to give it back so he settled and gave me 600 bucks for the car. What a night mare.
