RE: [Chevelle-List] 11 second street car
My car is a 71 that I bought as a project about 2 1/2 years ago now. I built my motor first and had it sitting on a stand, then I needed to find it a home. The motor is a .030 over 454 (460) with Speed Pro 2465 forged pistons. With my combination I have a 10 to 1 compression ratio. It has a balanced rotating assembly, ported oval port heads, a complete Crane (139731) roller cam setup with their gold race roller rockers, an 850 Holley double pumper and an Edelbrock RPM air gap intake manifold. I used a MSD 6AL ignition system with a MSD billet distributor. It has Hooker super comp headers with 3 exhaust through Flowmasters dumping right in front of the Moser Ford 9 rear end with a 3.89 posi center chunk turning 28 X 10.5 - 15 ET Drag tires. It has a performance built Turbo 400 with an ATI 3000 stall converter and a BM ratchet shifter. The car weighs just under 3900 pounds with me in it. Good luck with yours. Dont let small setbacks dishearten you.

[Chevelle-List] need help with front turn signal/running light
Hello I have a 68 chevelle, and I am having trouble getting the drivers side front turn signal/running light to work. The signal works fine, but the running light will not work. I have power to the socket(one contact blinks with signal, other glows steady when lights are on) when I plug in the bulb the running light will not light. I have tried new bulb with the same results At the harness, my running light wire is spliced with another wire.When seperated one wire has power when lights are on, and the other does not. Does this sound like a ground problem? I am not even sure how the lightis grounded! thanks for any and all help - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
