Re: [Chevelle-list] Hot Rod power tour
The one last year ended at the Place-Formally-known-as-the-Ball-Park-blah-blah( before that it was known as just a big empty field ) was a adult toy land on that Saturday. Cars and car goodies went on forever. Great vender rows and Bellamy (sp) Brothers put on a great show.I had my 55 Chevy then so I was more into 55 stuff and looking for a good deal on a T-bucket.Buckets ( especially with blowers) ended up scaringyou know whatout of my 12 year old sonow I'm in to my 68 velle stuff. Don't know about Friday but Saturday and Sunday morning should be a ball. It's a family deal. Wish I could make the run but the office life is too demanding right now. Might make the run to Tulsa on Sunday. I'll see how it feels then. Hope to meet some Chevellians there.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
Safest thing is to call M H, they will know exactly what it is for. I had a number of wires that I didn't need when I replaced my harness, but most were for emission control relays that I didn't need anymore. Gene ---BeginMessage--- I received an MH Engine harness, got it installed, and ran into one problem. There is a brown wire, that comes out the same place as the wiper motor and coil wires, which I dont know what to do with. It doesnt show it in any of my manuals or my wiring guide. So, on the slight chance someone has installed one of these harnesses in a 69, do you know what the wire might be for?

RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
I installed the same harness from MH in my 69 but OTTOMH can't remember what that wire is for, and the car is 100 miles from where I am, so I can't check. Sorry. Wish I could help. So close yet so far.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Hot Rod power tour
I don't have the finances to Long Haul the event so I'll probably run about half the way to either Springfield or St.Louis. Just had a four wheel alignment done on my El Camino and it made a huge difference. We had to re-adjust the four link to get the Fab 9 square again and he aligned the front end to my specs. Yesterday,I installed new SoftSeal door weatherstripping on both doors and now the car's relatively tight. After that,I adjusted the coilovers on both ends to get the ride height where I wanted it,,,low. Just need to re-install the leather bed cover, clean the car up a little,load some tools clothes,and I'll be ready to rock n roll.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
Check your voltage regulator to see if a wire is missing. There should be a brown wire on one of the terminals for the gen warning light in the dash.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
Not knocking the mfg, but with all the accolades MH seem to get, don't they provide a diagram? Dale McIntosh
RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
I asked one time and they said their were too many variations and too many pages for each harness. They have them layered in a CAD system that didn't lend itself to one picture drawings. Have any of you checked out this guys products (Ebay #7903793411). He says he has them for SS's but when I asked a few months ago he didn't have one with the gauge package harness. He is on the right track with the color pictures. Gene Not knocking the mfg, but with all the accolades MH seem to get, don't they provide a diagram? Dale McIntosh
RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
I called them up and asked. It is for the Tach (very close Bob). Now I am wondering why none of my books (three different manuals) or the wiring guide (just a bunch of copies out of the manuals) dont show any of the wiring for gauges. The books seem to assume you dont have gauges that has me a little worried about putting in my dash harness. I can do most things by memory but thats a hell of a lot of wires. Now I just have to figure out if I can get an adapter to go from the blade oil switch to the little circular prong the cable wants to hook up to.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
I have been told, right or wrong that there were never any printed GM wiring diagrams for the SS dash option. Not sure why, but there just aren't any. Seems to be true, because I looked all over and never found one. I just cut the ring off and mounted a blade type connector in its place. I think that I took the old one apart (off the old harness) and reattached it to the new wire. Gene ---BeginMessage--- I called them up and asked. It is for the Tach (very close Bob).

RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
Sorry, I still can't buy it and sounds like a copout. Even if they don't know what combination it's going into the fact that they include all (I assume) necessary wires to accommodate variations, their should be instructions. If a wire isn't needed, say a tach wire or some relay wire, it should state ...the brown wire is attached to the...and if not needed, should be trimmed or taped. My point is they included the wire(s) for some reason and they should explain what it's for...whether it's used in a particular car is immaterial. Bottom line, it's cheaper to not have to include written and/or photographic instructions. Dale McIntosh I asked one time and they said their were too many variations and too many pages for each harness.

[Chevelle-list] Firewall Insulation
Ok guys (and gals), I put in my firewall insulation and went to push in the black plastic things After almost snapping my finger in two and then engraving the plastic thing into my hand, they still wont go in. I got one in with a hammer but the rest are far from being close to be in. Now I have to go looking to purchase more, it seems my super human strength (and the hammer) is too much for their little plastic frames. Is there some easy tool I can pick up to do these? Thanks, JB
RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
When I called they gave me a similar excuse. I agree that they should have something. They know the wires need to be there because you buy the harness specific to the year and options (w/gauges or w/o) but they can't take the time to write down where they go? Not very nice. - JB -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale McIntosh Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 6:32 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness Sorry, I still can't buy it and sounds like a copout.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Wiring Harness
Well, maybe. I don't think it is cheaper if they have to spend 30 to 60 minutes on the phone working through questions and tracing wires while you are both on the phone, which they have done with me 3 times. I also know that they are real picky about producing only factory exact harnesses. Even if you know that you wont need a certain wire/s they wont build custom harnesses. I don't know, maybe for what you pay you should get a drawing, but I sure did like talking to them direct, I got a lot of side questions answered about wiring and wiring configurations. They sure know their stufff. My 2 cents. Gene Sorry, I still can't buy it and sounds like a copout.

[Chevelle-list] email hoaxes
Hi guys. A month or so ago someone posted a link to a site that kept track of the hoax emails that go around. If anyone knows what it was, I would appreciate the info. My mother-in-law keeps sending these things to my wife, of course I know better, but getting them to believe me is sometimes easier said than done. This site would help me a great deal.
