Re: [Chevelle-list] Steering column question
someone probably switched the rods around in the column. tilt columns work a little differently than a standard column. The ignition switch is mounted upside down on tilt columns. Tom

I did. I found another one in a wrecking yard, but it seems they were available elsewhere or also would work with just a fused jumper...

[Chevelle-list] Need help with gauges
Hi, I'm restoring a 64 Chevelle Malibu 2 door ht. The car came with idiot lights. Upon installation of the optional gauges and a new wire harness setup for them, I have discovered that I need an item called a shunt (resister). Much to my dismay, they are not available. I was told they only came on the 63 Nova and 64 Chevelle. Has anyone else run into this problem and how did you work around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dave Hasselbreg 64 Chevelle 2 DR HT
RE: [Chevelle-list] Horn rebuild kits
Actually, if you drill out the rivets holding the horn together, you'll find it's actually quite simple. Usually, the problems with old horns is rust buildup. A good cleaning and re-alignment of the armature (? the plate that actually does the buzzing) will fix it unless the coil is open. Brake cleaner and a light wire brush will usually do it. Now would be the time to paint it. Put the horn back together and put some bolts through it with ny-lock locking nuts. Test and adjust the screw until it is nice and loud. The bolts will keep as they are, make them chrome for a nice look, zinc plated if you want to paint over them, or pop-rivet them back in. Hope this helps. Hoss Good idea for a non-show car and it will work if the diaphragm isn't rusted through (like mine). I will need new diaphragms & I need the factory look for the car. I'll have to figure out how to crimp the rivets like Delco did, but I have a plan in mind. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks, BL

I think that someone here knew of a place that sold horn rebuild kits for Corvettes that would also work on Chevelles. Could you please let me know whether I was dreaming or not??

RE: [Chevelle-list] Horn rebuild kits
All GM cars used part# 1892164 (high note) from 1965-75, and part# 1892162 (low note) from 1965-71. The brackets were the only difference from one GM make/model/year to another.

[Chevelle-list] Steering column question
Group, I bought a tilt steering column and before I was going to put it in, I inserted my new key lock cylinder into it.The mechanism (twist to start) works backwards(Twisting the key forward-clockwise,then releasing it so it springs back to the on position is the way it should work.Mine works in the opposite direction, twisting the key counter clockwise to start!) Has anyone had this problem? Can the column be rebuilt backwards? I've tried a different ignition switch, and a different lock cylinder, to no avail. The lock cylinder only can go in one way. If you could email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't been getting my list lately. Thanks!
