It appears that the thieves didn't cut the lock off the trailer hitch and didn't use safety chains as they found the car and trailer on the side of a county road - been sitting there since last Wednesday he found out. Apparently the trailer came unhooked when they were pulling up a hill and came loose and went off the road. Trailer is tore up a bit, needs new jack and the hitch repaired. They stole his helmet, tach, battery and screwed up the shifter but he says it appears to be running ok.John HeardCheaters Den Midwest
Re: [Chevelle-list] Cowl tag 1964
From: Jon Bongiorno [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Girlfriend is the proud owner of a 1964 Malibu. We just got it home. It's a project all the way, so I'm sure you'll be hearing quite a bit from us. In decoding the cowl tag I came across something odd. The paint code is FFF. I've never seen a 3 digit paint code. What's up??? And the other thing is she's got an RPO# A20. The only thing I've come up with is custom seat belts. One web site says that in '64 only 449 of these were made. Now with her car being #matching 6 cyl and the A20 RPO code it seems to me that it's pretty rare. Is there anyone that can help me verify just how rare, if at all, this car is??? Thanks for all your help so far on my '66 SS clone and the future help on her '64 I like sixes in early Chevelles, they were still light enough to get away with it. As for the seat belts: Where did you get the A20 from and what do the belts look like? Seems all my cars came with belts, or had them put in later perhaps. So tell us about the car! Hardtop? which six, 194 or 230? The 230 would have come with the chrome on the engine. Tranny? What color? Plans for the car? Can I send you a set of earplugs for all the times you're going to hear: a 350'd sure look good in thar ; ) Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA
RE: [Chevelle-list] Cowl tag 1964
The A20 came off the cowl tag. It is a 2 door hardtop. With the 230, and yes it's got the original chrome valve cover. It has a 2 speed PG that need rebuilt. We plan to pull the 6 and restore it. The 350 out of my '66 will be going in as soon as I finish my 396. That way I won't need those ear plugs :-) It's going to go back to the silver blue metallic. We going to do a frame off and then It'll be her Very nice driver.

Pelle, Here is a link to Classic Muscle in Winston Salem, North Carolina. It's a large Chevrolet Car Dealership who's parts department is dedicated to Chevrolet Car and Truck restoration. Many of the parts can be ordered using original Chevrolet part numbers. Their printed and online catalog is the same, no fancy pictures, but good line drawings where applicable and good descriptions with many GM registered parts. I have found them to have the best selection, overall best price, cheapest shipping and friendly / knowledgeable staff. http://www.oldmusclecars.com/ Krister Meister Bloomingdale, IL '66 SS #'s Pelle Andersson [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: Chevelle Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] il.com cc: Sent by:Fax to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Chevelle-list] The Chevelle Gearheads site! evelles.net 07/11/2004 08:34 AM Please respond to The Chevelle Mailing List Hi guys!

[Chevelle-list] Front Drum Brake Parts
I had to clean out the garage over the weekend. As a result, the front drum brake parts that were removed from my 1970 Chevelle during the disc conversion are now outside. If anyone wants them, and is willing to pick them up in York PA, they can have them for free.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Mount Question
Well, I can answer this one. http://65ss.com/index.php?m=20040605 If you look at my June 5th post, I show the differences in BB and SB mounts. The ONLY difference is a small recess in the mounts. If I would have known this, I would have saved about $100. If you big block clears the mounts, then you're fine. They are the same height.

[Chevelle-list] Carb Opinion
Ok, I have a question... Asking this is probably asking who to vote for in the next election, but what size carb do you think I should run... I am hopefully going to install my 502HO engine in the next month. I emailed Holley, and I emailed Demon for their opinion. What I thought would be the deciding factor as both appear to know what they are doing ended up making me more fustrated. Holley says 850 Vacuum Secondaries with choke. Demon says 750 Vacuum Secondaries with choke. http://www.gmgoodwrench.com/perfparts/images/parts/pdf/12568778.pdf That is the engine specs, and cam information in the link above. I'm torn. I guess it's a guy thing, and of course I want an 850 (bigger is better right? LOL) , but I remember my Father-In-Law's 383 ran much stronger off the line with a 600cfm (loaner) carb than the 670 street avenger we put on. This car will be an occasional drag strip car, so take that into account. Also I live in Louisiana, which tends to be very hot and humid most of the year. Here's a CFM calculator that supports the 750 http://www.smokemup.com/auto_math/airflow.php But a few issues back of chevy rumble magazine, they had a 'drag formula' that slightly overcompensated and usually produced a number over 850 for this engine. Who knows??? Thanks Charles --- Check out my 502 powered '65 Malibu Super Sport Project http://www.65ss.com

At 08:26 PM 7/12/2004, you wrote: Ok, I have a question... Asking this is probably asking who to vote for in the next election, but what size carb do you think I should run... The ad says to top it off with a 750. I guess that's what was on it when they dynoed the motor. I didn't think Holley made a 850 cfm with vacuum secondaries. Double pumpers (4150 series) can work good, but they can be a pain to tune. The vacuum secondary carb will probably give you better mileage (you probably don't give a hoot about that) and is easier to work on. Just my .02 BL
