[Chevelle-list] Cup required for Sun SST-70 tach
Anybody know for sure which cup the SST-70 Sun Tach uses? I'm thinking the NC1 or NC5, the NC3 and NC4 looks too shallow.

I'm still planning out what I want to do with it, and one of the things I'm considering is cold air induction. I'd like to do something like the Rudisill cowl plenum through the firewall so I don't have to get a new hood, but I don't like the looks of the duct hanging off the side. I'd rather go straight back from the air cleaner to the firewall using something like the Ramair box, which is an air cleaner with a 17" x 3" duct coming straight off the back. There doesn't appear to be much on the firewall directly behind the air cleaner on a 66 except the distributor and a wiring duct. However, when I looked at the center of the firewall on the 66, I noticed that the cowl space on the dash side doesn't have enough room for a 17" x 3" hole without cutting into the driving compartment. I certainly don't want my engine sucking air from there. When I look at the location of the sheet metal under the dash area that forms the bottom of the cowl area, it looks like it could be cut out and moved down to accommodate the 17" x 3" duct hole without interfering with the heating ducts or other under-dash items. But I can't be sure with the car torn apart. Interestingly, the offending sheet metal moves down as you move away from the center of the firewall, making room for a cowl duct on the right side of the car (where the Rudisill duct goes). So I'm looking for some opinions from the list, especially those that have a 66 Elky or Chevelle. 1) Is there some reason why you couldn't move the sheet metal that forms the bottom of the cowl area down to make room for a 17" x 3" hole through the firewall? (a structural reason, or interference with things in the dash area) 2) Is this too much trouble to keep the engine compartment clean and have cold air? The car is already torn apart, so now is the time to do it. I apologize if the explanation of the problem is not clear. Tom Tomlinson '71 Malibu '66 El Camino

RE: [Chevelle-list] Timing Question
With the timing set to 7 degrees ATDC, you're not even starting the combustion process until the piston is starting to move down the cylinder. The motor should feel pretty lazy. If you suspect your light is bad, try another light first. Or, try your light on a buddy's motor who knows about where his timing is. -Dave > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of 38 Coupe > Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 4:11 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Chevelle-list] Timing Question > > > 1969 Chevelle with a 1967, 396 that I recently purchased.

[Chevelle-list] Timing Question
1969 Chevelle with a 1967, 396 that I recently purchased. The timing calls for 4 degrees BTDC which I was going to set to about 10 degrees BTDC. When I went to check, it is set at 7 degrees ATDC. I thought that maybe my timing light is not working right so I left it alone for now. It runs well with a bit of hesitation after it shifts at full throtle. If it is right would the car even run at 7 degrees ATDC or should I be looking for another problem.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Re:Cold Air Induction on a 66
You are right Tom, I didnt think about the water at all :o) Would you be so kind to take some pics and mail me when you start, sounds like a fun project to me. Full Revs!!! :o) André -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of tom Sent: 8. april 2004 03:01 To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Re:Cold Air Induction on a 66 André I think I finally figured this out. The sheet metal in the cowl area is high in the middle and slopes to the sides of the car in order to shed water that would otherwise collect in the cowl area. Modifying this would probably present problems for water leakage and rust. As you suggested, the solution is to open up the firewall where you can above the cowl sheet metal, and build a long box that covers the hole (build a plenum). Then the Ramair box can plug into the plenum. This would require little or no modification to the Ramair box and still provide a relatively clean install.
