[Chevelle-list] FYI, metal rehab chevelle
I know many folks don't like this chemical strip process but I wanted you to see what a chevelle looks like afterwards. http://metalrehab.com/chevy.html I have everything but the main body done this way. The company, at that time would put on that black catalizedprimer. I just saw the chevelle and thought you might like to see the process and results. Pretty cool, I guess. mike f.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: 700R4 trans
13 wheels I have 14 1/4 rotors to be mounted on my chevelle, are you sure you are not driving around on your rotors HAHAHA TCI part #890-374400 in the Jegs catalog is what you need its called TV Plunger and sleeve and I dont know what it is Ciao André Howdy all. I just purchased a car with the 700R4 trans, and I've installed 13 rims and tires on it, lol. Problem is, at highway speeds, it constantly shifts back and forth between 3rd and 4th gear. Any way to override that with a switch or something so I can lock it in 4th at highway speeds? Thanks! Dan McIntosh 1962 Impala Street Metal Fabrications http://www.lowriderimpala.com
Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: 700R4 trans
Dan, I have a 700R4 in my 64 Tempest. It uses a lockup converter that is unlocked by the brake light switch. It only locks in OD. My whole setup came from www.bowtieoverdrives.com. You might get the info you need at their web site.

Re: Re: [Chevelle-list] High Octane Availability
I can drive my Chevelle to our municipal airport and get gas at the Chevron beside the runway. It is a low lead gas that floats between 105 and 112 octaneand it is $2.70 a gallon. I guess that is not bad since 87 octane at the gas stations cost $1.97 around here (Central Arizona). BTW, I do have hardened valve seats and I only get about 2 gallons per tank mixed with 91 octane. I don't want to stoke the fire too much because I don't want to burn out my engine. Steve From: Richard M.

Re: [Chevelle-list] FYI, metal rehab chevelle
Must be powerful stuff. In 4 steps it changes a 2 dr hardtop chevelle into 2 dr post 53 body style. Wonder what it will do to a 4 dr ford?Can I hope for a GT40? Actually looks good. Is that your chevelle?Are they able to prime the hidden inaccessible areas? I may investigate for my camaro.

[Chevelle-list] High Octane Aviation Gas.
I can drive my Chevelle to our municipal airport and get gas at the Chevron beside the runway. It is a low lead gas that floats between 105 and 112 octaneand it is $2.70 a gallon. I guess that is not bad since 87 octane at the gas stations cost $1.97 around here (Central Arizona). I am a pilot. I know that the aviation industry was grandfathered in for the lead containing gasoline when America went unleaded. As far as I know, av-gas is the only readily available mass produced fuel still containing lead. I buy av-gas all of the time for the planes I fly. I do believe that dispensing the av-gas directly into an owner's car is illegal. I'm not saying that this doesn't go on all of the time. Does anyone know if this is in fact true? Is it illegal to dispense leaded gas from an airport vendor into a car? The reason I ask is that few airports will sell the gas and dispense it into a car but most will sell if it is going into a container. Also, on a similar topic.Most people now days don't realize that pure gasoline, like av-gas, has a beautiful pure almost sweet smell. And if you get it on your hands it almost immediately evaporates leaving no residual smell or oily feeling. The chemical brew that they call automotive gas they sell for cars has become so darn nasty. They shouldn't call it gas anymore. Just call it car fuel. --Todd. Boise, Idaho.
Re: [Chevelle-list] High Octane Aviation Gas.
Hi a little more on the AV GAS.Yes it is illegal to pump it directly into a car,At least in PA.Most times you have to pump it into a steel container so it can be grounded between the supply tank and the can.But I love the smell,none better.Mike Herr in Limerick,PA
