[Chevelle-list] electric fan mounting
Howdy, I recently installed an aluminum radiator in my Impy, and am not wanting to go with an electric fan. Any good ideas on how to mount the fan without sticking them plastic ties through the radiator core? I'd like to see and hear what you all have done in the past. Thank you.

Hi, If you get stung on E-bay, make sure to report it to their fraud department as well as your local police department. It might work, and it might not. It really depends on the evidence and the willingness/experience of the detective assigned to your case. We are in the process of filing 40+ felony charges after successfully serving a search warrant at an 18-year-old's house. He had a bad habit of selling items and then forgetting to send them. You have to have patience because these kinds of cases take a LONG time to compile for the state attorney. This one has taken several months and is about 3 thick (in a 3-ring binder). What goes around eventually does come around...sometimes. I think he is about to have a really bad day. Good for him and good luck to us every time we bid.

Hopefully my filed complaints with e-bay will be just a matter of time. The guy who shafted me is still selling the last I looked. You really have the look at the feedback rating and maybe some sort of feedback system could be placed on TC classifieds. I won't sell something unless I 1000% disclose everything about the item being sold. I have several things listed on TC classifieds and sold 1 item to someone having a parts wanted add. It is a great service for the price. - Original Message - From: Stephen Lentz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Chevelle Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 9:36 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Agree w/ Larry on Team Chevelle classifieds Hi, If you get stung on E-bay, make sure to report it to their fraud department as well as your local police department.

[Chevelle-list] Rear end
First I would like to thank everyone who helped me change the pinion seal on my 12-bolt. I followed the directions and everything worked out as planned. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this list and I am glad they are just as helpful and willing to assist restoration-rookies like me. I have one small snag. I used the gray colored Permatex ultra-gasket sealer when I put the rear cover on. It seemed a little runny when I applied it so I let it set up a bit before I mated the cover with the rear. It dripped out a bit when I was tightening the bolts (I torque every other one evenly). Well, I ate dinner and then went out to fill the rear. Everything seemed fine, so I went out for a short cruiseya got to test it! I then cleaned my floor, parked the car back in the garage and went to bed. I found a 4 puddle of fluid under the rear (toward the back this time) in the morning. It was rather depressing, but I figure I just used the wrong type of sealer. The gray stuff doesn't seem to like the differential lube at all. The question is, what would be the best sealer? RTV blue? Black? Something else? Also, what type of lube do you recommend? Synthetic is more expensive than the regular stuff. Is it better? My rear is equipped with Posi-traction in case that matters.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Rear end
Good to hear the rear end pros here could help. There really is a great collection of knowledge and experiences here. You'll often find two or more folks that do things differently and yet have the same overall results - like gasket sealer vs. no gasket sealer. Case in point: Unless the rear cover is warped you shouldn't need any sealer. If you really want to use some, put it on the cover and seal the gasket to the cover. I very seldom use any sealer on most things. Generally when I do use it it's to keep the gasket in place until the parts can be cinched together or it's put on the rough side of whatever is being bolted together - like the rear cover instead of the housing since its surface would be more apt to not be flat. It's also easier to remove the cover and get all the gasket material and residue off it than the housing.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get to the dash light bulbs on a 72 Malibu? A friend's dash lights aren't working I looked under the dash can't see or reach any of the bulbs. I thought about popping the dash out but it's a lot different than my 68. Any help would be appreciated. BTW- I've been on this list a long time it's a great list.

[Chevelle-list] 66 front running lights operation
I have a '66 Chevelle SS. Not a priority, but wondering the following on the front running lights operation. With the headlight switch pulled half way out rear tail lights, front running lights both illuminate. Pull headlight switch all the way out and headlights go on, rear tail lights stay on and front running lights go off - is this normal for the front running lights to go off when the headlights come on? Note: Turn signals work all around in any head light position.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Dash Lights
Don, Take the top pad off, there are some screws under the front edge and clips toward the windshield. After the pad is removed, you can reach in from the top and change the bulbs. If all of them are out, check the fuse first.

RE: [Chevelle-list] 66 front running lights operation
I have a '66 Chevelle SS.Pull headlight switch all the way out and headlights go on, rear tail lights stay on and front running lights go off - is this normal for the front running lights to go off when the headlights come on? Yes. Back in '66, they were not considered running lights but, Parking lights. And a Police officer made it very clear to me back in the early eighties that these parking lights were not to be used except on a parked car! Re-wiring the front lights to be as runners will not be easy as: 1. the original circuit used the lights lower wattage filament for parking and, IMO, are not bright enough for daytime 2. you will want the bright filament for daytime running lights, but, 3. the blinker uses the brighter filament and will need a new circuit to work properly, but, 4. the blinker circuit needs the resistance of the brighter filament to blink at the proper speed 5. the old housing may not be suitable to hold a hot burning light all day without discoloring, melting, etc. A couple vent holes in the front blinker housing and a couple 12V relays should do the job.
