[Chevelle-list] '66 rear shoulder belt install completed
This has been a previous topic, especially for us with small kids. The dilemma was that after a certain weight, the 5 point harness built into the kids car seats would no longer work and the seat would have to used with a shoulder belt for restraint. I have successfully installed (and it looks professional) 2 rear shoulder belts in the back of my '66 Chevelle hardtop in addition to the existing factory lap belts. I used for each side a 90 lap belt from Andover Restraints and followed the same routing through the rear deck and basic installation as would be found on a convertible. It works perfect. My soon to be six year old twins are excited as they are looking forward to another summer of cruising around in the back of the Chevelle. Krister Meister Bloomingdale, IL '66 SS #'s matching

Can you post some pictures? I have a guy interested in buying my Olds, but he wants to install rear shoulder belts for the same reason. It's a convertible, so I don't see how he's going to do it, but that's his job and concern, not mine. Still, I'd pass along the info if it would help him to figure it out.

RE: [Chevelle-list] '66 rear shoulder belt install completed
I'd love to see pictures as well. Somewhere I have pictures of my setup. I only needed to accommodate one child, so I put the belt in the center. I used a four point Dune Buggy harness from Crow (http://www.crowenterprizes.com/Crow%20Enterprizes/html/products_dune_bu ggy.html scroll to the bottom of the page). The lap belt was easy, using the existing seat belt mounts. The shoulder portion is mounted in the trunk (big washer, eye bolt through the trunk floor), coming up over the back of the seat, and then threaded through the slots on the child seat. We usually set my daughter up in a three point version of this, crossing the belt so that it actually works better. Instead of the right side belt coming down her right side, it crosses to the left, on the other side of the buckle. This is easy to do with these belts, as the shoulder harnesses have loops that allow them to slide along the lap belt. Because kids are so small, a four point setup really needs to be held closer to the center line or it can slide off or to the side. I sometimes can convince my daughter to use all four belts, and then I set it up in an X pattern. The automotive buckle makes it possibly more secure as I think that is harder than a race style latch, but the 2x2 four point harness with the shoulder straps sewn in and only one latch might be simpler and easier to use. But for $42.50 the harness I have is a great deal and it does work.

Re: [Chevelle-list] '66 rear shoulder belt install completed
I unfortunately did not take any pictures as I went along and have it buttoned up already. However, in the next week I'll put together step by step of what I did for who ever is interested. This is on a '66 Chevelle hardtop and had to make no rear deck metal modifications - not sure how other years rear decks may vary. Krister
Re: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
The one thing I was not considering is flowmasters. I thought they were more of a strictly mustang type thing. The mustangs running around with the flowmasters sound real good though.

He is definitly not looking for loud! He wants a nice rumble to it to identify that its a muscle car at best and it needs to be quiet enough that if you're on the highway, you can listen to the radio comfortly.

Sound is such a subjective thing. Who can really say what sounds the best? I'm a Flowmaster fan but have heard that the Dynomax mufflers always seem to win the dyno shootouts.

Flowmaster makes a nice kit for A bodies with 2.5 inch pipes and Flowmaster 30s. The sound is not quiet if that is what you are looking for. It has a throaty idle and gets loud above 4000 RPM. Got mine on Summit Racing for about $400 total. Best practice is to match the pipe size with the volumetric efficiency of the engine. But I think a 2.5 inch size with crossover would work great with a chief 400 with street headers.

My dad has a 1969 GTO with a 400 that has a mild cam in it. Him and I were wondering which kinds of headers and mufflers sound real good on that car? Chad
