  Never said to lay UNDER the car and watch the driveshaft, 
  Wayne.  It's easy enough to look underneath the car while knealing BESIDE 
  the car and see the point of the wire tie to see when it gets close to or just 
  after the third revolution as the tire makes a full revolution.  After 
  all, you have to have the 2nd person stop you at one tire 
  revolution.  Unless you have a 4+ gear set, the tie is going to be real 
  close to where it started (pointing straight down) to determine its final 
  position at one full tire turn and will indicate a high 2+ or very low 3+ gear 
  ratio.  
   
  It's not like the fella that wanted to take the hood off 
  his car and have his buddy ride in the engine bay and look down the carb to 
  see if the vacuum secondaries opened at full throttle. :*)

  Here's another method you can use and takes two 
  people.  Get a large wire tie and snug it around the driveshaft with 
  what's left pointing down (6:00 position) as a reference, i.e., don't snip 
  off the end.  Make a chalk mark on the tire at its lowest point on 
  the ground.  Carefully push or drive car one full tire revolution 
  while 2nd person watches the wire tie on the driveshaft and counts the 
  full revs.  When the tire has made one full turn, look at the wire 
  tie.  How many full turns did it make and where it is now in relation 
  to pointing straight down.  Did it make just over 3 turns - could be 
  3.07 or 3.08; 3 1/4 turns - 3.23, etc. That will get you close to the 
  final ratio with whatever wheels/tires are on the car 
  now.

[Chevelle-list] '69 Malibu body mouldings: painted in center or not?

2003-07-23 Thread Michael Pell 
I'm doing some confirmation research. On the '69 Malibu side body
mouldings, were they painted black in the center of the mouldings?

It's my understanding that the '69s were painted black, and the '68s
were unpainted.  My '69 has painted mouldings, but the resto houses are
telling me otherwise.   If painted is correct, would you have any
suggestions on a good technique/paint to use?

Thanks!

lol..
when I first bagged my 64, I had a popping noise 
when raising the rear passenger side..
to figure out what was happening...I put the axle 
tubes on jack stands, laid under the axle, and had my wife raise and lower the 
car so I could see what was going on..
It wasn't a very good feeling, considering my car 
does not raise slowly at all... 
Oh well, at least I figured out where the noise was 
coming from..

Re: [Chevelle-list] striped drive shaft was rear axle ratio??

2003-07-23 Thread Michael Pell 



The easiest way I know is to put the basecoat painted driveshaft in the 
balancer at a drive shaft shop, have it turn really slow.   HOld a roll 
of tape in your hand, and it unroll directly onto the shaft as it 
spins, and move your hand along the driveshaft as it rotates.  Voila! 
Spray your top color, let dry, remove tape.  

Of course this means you need to get in good with a local driveshaft 
shop. Or, you could ask Patterson Driveshafts to do it for you.  
I'm pretty sure they would tape it and return it to you pretty 
reasonably.  http://www.pattersondriveshaft.com.  Ask for Marc, 
he's done this to his own driveshaft.

[Chevelle-list] Factory color of stock 71 SS rims?

2003-07-23 Thread Mark Weber 
Hi.

I painted my stock rims yesterday with Eastwoods Charcol 
Gray Wheel Paint

http://www.eastwoodco.com/aspfiles/itemdy00.asp?UID=2003072310092325&T1=10003+Z&Dep_Key1=

The color ended up gray-bronze, and not gray or gray-black 
or gray silver.

Does anybody know if the stock 71 ss rims have a slight 
bronze or brown tone to them?

To Funny Dale... a local guy 
bough  a set of slotted mags at a yard sale, to match the ones he had on 
the front.. He jacked up the car ( ONE SIDE) and removed the rear tire and 
mounted the mag.. He then used scotch red and green sanding pads to clean it 
up.. and then polish it while it spun with the car running in gear.. Both wheels 
wee polished in no time and far outshined his on the front of the car So 
while he was at it , he removed the front wheel  and put it on the rear and 
started the eng. put in it  gear, and was set to polish away... only ONE 
problem these Mags had tires on them with valve stems.. rotating a high RPM.. he 
picks up the red scotch pad and folds it over his hand and pokes it into the 
spinning mag. WELL a trip to the Hosp. and came home  missing his 
 ring finger.. DUGH  !
A good plan 
went astray
