RE: [Chevelle-list] Malibu Carb question
What you are supposed to do is *be realistic* about what max RPM you will be running at, and find the CFM that will get you 100% VE at that RPM. Using the formula to find a carb that will get you 75% VE at your max RPM kind of defeats the purpose of using the formula if you ask me. Now, it's true that there are factors other than the carburetor that contribute to whether or not you are getting 100% VE at max RPM, but that doesn't mean you should choose a carburetor that will guarantee you not to get better than 75%. John Nasta -Original Message- But...you're lucky to get 75%-80% VE on any given street engine. :*) A normal street 283 isn't going to see the high side of 5500 and live very long either, to be honest. So...in the real world 283 * 5500 / 3456 = 450. Multiply that times 75% and you get 338. Of course, there are always exceptions and VE can vary - but not much. :*)

RE: [Chevelle-list] Malibu Carb question
A 283-2 isn't going to take much fuel to get it running. Probably the smallest 4-bbl from Edelbrock would be their 500cfm unit (#1404). Another choice would be a Holley 390cfm (#0-8007) for a small engine (http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/FMS/FMSC/0-8007.html). An Edelbrock Performer EPS (#2701) intake would make a good choice for a mild 283 (idle - 5500). Dale I've stopped 1,541 spam messages. You can too!

They just did a cam swap on a 66 small block on HPTV. The only clearance problem was the rear of the bumper.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Tire sizes
I have 235/75R15 on my ’70 and I have the front lowered about 1 ½” in the front and I have the 15X8 chrome rally’s (but I don’t remember the backspace offhand) and these tires are just too tall and turning into driveways, I do have some tire rub on the fronts with the top of the inner fender well at the top bolt/fenderwell. Occasionally, I will see a very slight rub on the sidewall on the rears also. (but only occasionally). Also depending on what gears you have, that tall of a tire might hurt you. Right now, I only have 2.73’s and it kills my 60’ times. I do plan on going to around 26” – 26.5” tall tires when these wear out.

Does anyone know what the largest is that will fit a 65 in front or will the taller tires give me clearance problems or what. I'm currently running 235/60/15's all around with no problems up front and a little rub in the rear on good bumps with a later year 12 bolt. I'll be getting new wheels with 1/2 in more backspace from the standard 4in. I've been told that the 235/75/15 redlines may give me problems in front even though the tread is over 1/2 in less. I could probably be safe and go with 205's on front and 225's on rear but I don't want to short my self. the sales rep thinks the 235's may be OK on the rear. He says they're not supposed to give technical advice. I'm ready to spend a bunch of $$ and he's not allowed to give advice!! Any other place to get radial redlines?? All comments and advice will be greatly appreciated. BTW the wheels I like are the Weld Draglites. I think they look good on a 65 and after 2 years of soul searching and dumping the rallyes, that's my decision. Didn't have rallyes in 65 anyway. Think out loud guys & girls and let me know something. I've been on this list for a while and I know the answers are out there. Thanks to all. P.S. Prices go up 2/24 but are being held 1 more day for me so I can consult. Thanks. Phil G. 65 SS MCC #36 ACES #555 TC #1766 VCCA LGC
RE: [Chevelle-list] x-pipe vs h-pipe
Can the popping cause damage? I thought they recommend the 70 series because they are quieter when running a big block? Anyone out there running 40 series on a big block?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body OFF
Here is what I did. I used 4x4's inside the frame rails to support the body. Then I lowered the frame (takes several Jacks to do this). Then with the frame down, I used longer 4x4's and blocked the body on the outsides of the frame and dragged the frame out from under the car. viola!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Tire sizes
The 215 75 15 will fit just fine on the front, it's the same height as a 225 70 15 The 235 75 15 will fit fine on the rear, but may be a little too tall for you liking. Personally if I had to go with a 75 series, I would go 215 75 15 all the way around. You don't really have much to work with in a 75 series tire without getting into height clearance issues when going to larger section widths. Hope this helps, good luck Tom

Re: [Chevelle-list] Tire sizes
Tom: Do you mean 215/75/15 all around. These radial redlnes only come in the 75 series. Any experience re the 235/75/15 on a newer wide 12 bolt. I'm trying to keep some meat on the back. Maybe this is why you don't see more of these Coker tires around. This 75 series is kinda awkward to work with. What are your thoughts on 205's or 215's on the front and 225 or 235 on the rear. The heights run from 205-27 inches to 235-29 inches so it will probably give alittle lowered front look depending on the sizes. These are very different from your 60 & 70 series heights. Also what's your opinion of wheel sizes. 7" front and 8" rear or 7's all around. I really appreciate your comments & hope I'm not troubling you. I'm not getting any other replies. The sales rep said go to a tire dealer and try sizes on etc. Well my car is sleeping for the winter and I wanted to be ready for spring. I didn't think I was trailblazing here and that this info would be as common as some of the mechanical stuff on the list but apparently it's not. All you comments will be well received and very much appreciated. Thanks again. Phil G. 65 SS
