  Thanks for the explanation.  Does this 
turbine look like a "torpedo heater" that bolts to the rear 
differential ?  Just trying to get a mental picture.

I 
understand what he means by 'triple black' meaning the body color, interior 
color, and vinyl roof color.  But it says 'triple black 
option' leading one to believe it's a factory paint since paint color was 
optional like anything else.  All I'm asking is what is the paint code for 
black in 1972 and was this a factory 'option'?  None of the GM 
documentation I've seen shows black as an available paint color for 1972.  
If it was a late model year option, I'm just curious as to what the code is and 
have a shot of the trim tag, protect-o-plate, or a build sheet to document 
it.

Hi: You are better off having the temp. sensor in one of the heads.The reason is you want the electric fan to come on when the temp. in the engine reaches a certain temp.The temp. in the radiator is always going to be lower than what is in the block to keep the engine cool.And your concern is the temperature of the block not the radiator. My two cents.

Title: Message




When I 
did this years ago, I got a full setup from a donor car, with the spindles, 
rotors, and calipers from a '79 F-Body and the master cylinder (Booster since 
this was a power conversion), and proportioning valve from (I think) a '72 
Malibu.  The weight distribution of the newer Malibu is not the same as the 
'67, so the proportioning is not perfect.  The rears do lock before the 
front, but not all that early.  In a perfect world, you will want an 
adjustable valve to dial in your car.  In reality, you can drive the car 
and be just fine with a junk yard valve.
Note: It 
has been something like 10 years since I had the car in snow with this, but I 
don't really remember any undue rear lockup with the setup as is.  I bought 
an adjustable valve to dial the car in, but still have not installed 
it...

RE: [Chevelle-list] temperature sensor..

2004-01-30 Thread Dale McIntosh
Title: Message



Don't know if anyone else has answered, but here's my 0.02.  Putting 
a sensor in the radiator could cause the fins to spread and break over 
time.  Air rushing in and, if it's in front of the fan itself, it could 
give inaccurate readings.  If the fan is mounted on the engine side of the 
radiator, it'll suck the air through (puller style); if mounted on the grille 
side, it'll push air through (pusher style).  Pusher styles are, by 
accounts read, about 75% to 80% as efficient as a puller...you lose cooling 
capability with a pusher.  If the sensor is in the radiator and it's in 
front of the fan itself (pusher or puller), the sensor may actually be cooler 
due to the constant 'breeze' caused by the fan.
 
Depending on the engine you have, your heads may or may not have 
provisions for a water temp sender.  You may only have an outlet on the 
intake; if that's the case you'll have to come up with another location for the 
fan off/on sensor.  If the mfg suggests in the head, the sensor should be 
threaded and wouldn't fit in the radiator anyway.  Since water exits the 
engine via the thermostat, that should be the hottest point of water but the 
water temp at the head sensor shouldn't be significantly cooler.  Check http://auto.howstuffworks.com/cooling-system2.htm to 
see a motion example of water flow through an engine.

The hoses are all the same for disc brake cars.  Just FYI, you did not need to change that valve that is mounted on the frame, you only needed to add the one up by the master cylinder.  Just out of curiosity, why did you have to take the hood off to put the booster on?

I have a 67 dash pad here in black that has been in stock for a while. I
would be willing to make a good deal on it to see it go.

I also need to do a buy-in w/ the manufacturer of these dash pads, so I'd
being willing to make deals in general to help defray the cost of opening
the account. These are the same ones that I have been buying through a
middleman for the past couple of years. They are vinyl over foam w/ a metal
backing, not that rubber junk you may have seen elsewhere. They fit and look
great. I put one in my own El Camino and am very happy with it.

Contact me privately if interested.

  I

  however.  I needed the short line that runs from the proportioning valve 
  to the driver's side front wheel. For the 1970 car, the existing one for

Re: [Chevelle-list] front brake hose

2004-01-30 Thread Gary W. Treible
Title: '72 ElCamino ss454



It's a 1970 Malibu.  I bought a junk yard 
setup, spindles, rotors, calipers, master cylinder, etc.  I turned the 
calipers, rotors and master cylinder in at Advance Auto for remanufactured 
parts.  When I did that, I also bought the new hoses (the junk yard guy cut 
the old ones).  The calipers came loaded so I didn't need 
pads.
 
Gary
 
BTW Changing the spindles (which I believed would 
be the hardest part of the job) turned out to be the easiest part.  
Swapping the proportioning valve was a huge PITA.  I also had to take the 
hood off to get the master cylinder/booster in.  That was not hard, but 
required two people.  As alwaysyour mileage may vary :-)

Re: [Chevelle-list] temperature sensor..

the sensor needs to detect the motor temp to 
function properly, reading the radiator temp will make it run hotter than it 
should.

  I'm putting an electric fan on my car this year, 
  and bought a temp. sensor to control the on/off cycle of the fan.
  The switch is supposed to be installed in one of 
  the heads..
  Wouldn't it be better to install the sensor in

  after all, the fan is blowing on the radiator,

  The switch is set at 192° on/ 182° off. I have a
