[Chevelle-List] engine overhaul info

[HarKemAsso]

HI wondering if anyone has a favorite book on how to overhaul engines?
or has one to sell-
or know of one that deals with all kinds of engines (mostly v-8s from 
1955-1975 or so) like chevys, buicks pontiacs mopars and f&rds even (seems 
like i get into just about everything)
need a book that would go into detail right down to the crank.
or something on-line that i could access, i tried a search and only came up 
with books for sale, but i would hate to buy one without looking through it.

i am rebuilding a 402 right now, and my library is closed for remodeling- and 
the largest branch of it as well- last time i did a 400 Pontiac and had a 
book. there was something to do with the thrust bearing- and putting 
backwards or forward force on the crank with a screwdriver as you tightened 
it or something??? i don't want to miss any of those little details!!
Thanks a bunch for reading my ramblings!

Re: [Chevelle-List] cowl tags

[yenkochevelle]

Do you have the complete trim tag info on the car 
with the dash for paint code? I have seen this on a few 68 and 69 Chevelles. 
There have been some Carolina Blue Chevelles found with the dash trim tag no 
paint code. Also seen a special interior code for the 68's with Buick style 
interior.

  James,
   
    Hello.  Did you know that the cowl 
  tag that has the paint code listed as "--" is a special order paint ?  It 
  is my understanding that you could order just about any color from the GM 
  lineup for an additional cost.  If memory serves me correctly, it was 
  something like $28.00 extra.  But the belief is that you received a 
  better quality paint job.  The reason for the dashes is simple - there 
  was no paint code listed in the Chevelle lineup for the color that was 
  selected.  Having the dashes "--" in the cowl tag is really something 
  kind of special, at least to me.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Rear end mounts

[Dale McIntosh]

Title: Message



All Chevelle rear ends will 'bolt in', 
but:
 
Rear spring 
mounting pads differed in that 1964-66 rear ends used a flat pad with a hole 
drilled in the center. 1968-72 rear ends have circular spring mounting pads, 
which are 3/4" higher that the early flat pad.  The 68-72 rear ends are 
wider but will bolt into a 67 without a spring change.  I had a 68-72 
rear in my 67 for quite a number of years.  It does limit wheel/tire sizes 
due to its being wider.  I'm not even sure it was out of a Chevelle since 
it had 2.79 gears and Chevrolet didn't have a 2.79 gear set - and yes, I did 
pull the cover off and not only counted the teeth but the count was stamped on 
the ring gear as well.
 
I've been told 
that 67 was a transition year in that A-cars might have a 1964-66 style rear 
end, a 1968-72 rear end (which is wider, and commonly available), or a "hybrid" 
rear end, which will have the 58.5" width, but with the early spring mounting 
pad and trailing arm brackets but I've never seen a 67 with the flat spring pad 
so I can't confirm that.

Re: [Chevelle-List] super chevy

[KNUTSONChevelle]

thanks for the info, I think I'll make the decastur meet.


The Decatur swap meet is the weekend of Feb.21-23. The first Chickasha,OK swap meet is the weekend of Mar.21-23 and the first Arlington swap meet is the weekend of April 11-13. I think I was wrong about Super Chevy weekend at the Texas Motorplex. I'm not 100% sure but think the dates are April 25-27 (same weekend as the big Pate swap meet).

Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear end mounts

[Batsy74]

Sorry for being so vague. I am having a hard time 
finding a cheap differential. All the junk yard look at me like I have two heads 
when I ask if they have any rear ends. A friend of mine is junking a 87 Buick 
Regal and it seems to mount the same, but I haven made measurements as the car 
is not local. Are the bushings diffrent or is it completly diffrent and I should 
just froget that idea?
  Thanks,

  a67 El-Camino that is in need of a rear . No not any  RWD GM rear will

  The years taht will bolt in and be the same width

  you still have two different spring perch

Re: [Chevelle-List] Exhaust Pipe Diameter

[Leo Baker]

Sound like a good combination, remember one of the factors in 
mufflers and noise is the number of cylinders per muffler, duals on a 
V8 will be noisier than the same muffler with all 8 flowing thought 
it.


Hey all,

I am building an exhaust system for my 67 with a 250-I6.  I have 
headers, with 1 1/2 x 36 main tubes, into 2 1/2 x 5 collectors. 
What do I do to determine the best pipe size?  cn I run 2 1/2 all 
the way back, or would that cause nasty side effects?

I'm considering a Flowmaster 70-series muffler (#52573, 
offset/offset 2 1/2 in and out.)  Erring on the side of quieter 
rather than louder would be preferable.

If I can, running the headers into a y-pipe, then to the muffler 
would be the easiest, seeing as the collectors and the muffler both 
accept 2 1/2" pipe.

Any thoughts?
Dave.

[Chevelle-List] Crane XR3000 ignition for sale

[bdo_chevelle]

In my never-ending quest to try and clean out the basement (OK, my wife's 
making me do it) I have a Crane XR3000 electronic ignition conversion I'd like 
to get rid of.  It's a 12V system designed for points replacement; I had it in 
my '72 Blazer and removed it before I sold the truck.  It's not an invisible 
system, though, as it has a "black box" that needs to be mounted somewhere.  
First $60 gets it, and that includes domestic shipping as well as the 
distributor I converted.  I think I have the instructions stashed somewhere but 
can't guarantee it, so it may be necessary to contact Crane for a new copy.  
Please email me offlist at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thanks!

Re: [Chevelle-List] EFI on old motors

[Dwight Fulton]

EFI in no way will put "undue stress" on the engine or make it run hotter but, it will make it run smoother & more efficently which tranlates into lower emissions and in most cases better MPG. The setup is costly and can be a hassle getting tuned in correctly but, you are rewarded with a very dependable, driveable and low maintence engine.

I installed them in 1973I dont remember what kind they were. When I get 
home tonite, I'll try to see if there is a name on them. 

PS..
the LS6 has been off road for several years now...I used to fix up cars and 
then sell them. One year the motor vehical department stopped me from selling 
any more cars until I got a "dealer" liscenseI was on my 6 car that year.

I been holding on to the LS6 'cause I knew I didn't want to sell it. Now I'm 
finally getting around to getting the 'old girl running and maybe bring it to 
the Chevellabration in a year or two.

i't virtually original.but I have an itch to pull and save the LS6 and 
put in a monster BB.some now advertise upwards of 700 ci..I also have 
a 69 and 02 vett and yes you will run into people who will "complain" if it 
ain't original. 

Do what you like, you gotta drive and live with YOUR car, and don't worry 
about the FEW critics.save all original stuff and HAVE FUN !!!

It's weird, but I know like 5 people missing fingers
that's why, while at work, I keep mine in my pockets.

Re: [Chevelle-List] (NC) Let's trade!

[Herbert Lumpp]

Your right about that Brad!  The only problem is the 78 in Arizona and I'm
in Virginia and "technically speaking" I already sold the 78 last August,
but since I still haven't received payment, I consider it still mine.
You're probably wondering what the hell?!  A longtime friend of mine had his
car stolen and couldn't afford to buy another car at the time.  I
loaned/sold him the 78.  The way I see it, if he never pays me, I'll always
have a Blazer! :)

Now the 87 on the other hand, it really is a nice truck...

[Chevelle-List] Quadrajet AC solenoid bracket picture?

[Dave Corgill]

Does anyone have a Q-Jet with the AC idle compensator
solenoid ? The one that kicks up the idle when AC is on.
Could you send me a pic. I can only find brackets for
ED & holly.
Also has anyone had a Q-Jet built by Jet performance?

Thanks

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

James,

welcome to the list.

André

Hello, everyone my names is James.
I'm from North Texas, I've been restoring chevy's for the better part of my 
years, my last three cars have been 69 chevelles you might say im stuck on 
year's, anyway my present project is a 69 chevelle two door post, i found in 
a savage yard in the middle of Dallas, 400 dollars later it rest was in my 
hands capable hands, about 7000 dollars and a  thousand man hours, bring me 
near the end of my restoration, first of the car was strip down to the bare 
so i needed to find just about everything you might think, , 12 bolt posi 400 
turbo tranny, 396 engine, f40 and f41 front and rear suspension, i didn't 
have the build sheet, so i put it back the way i would have bought it, had i 
been 10 years older.   everything on the car has been gone though, the only 
thing i wish i done myself was the paint work, which turn out less then 
perfect, so to anyone that read this if you like to restore cars learn to do 
your own paint and body, anyway im waiting for warm weather to finish this 
bone stock big block beast, here is a picture a few months ago, thanks and 
look forward to reading your mail, James  p/s i will post a pic just as son 
has i figure out how
