RE: [Chevelle-list] Website again
HAHA I told Heidi that she is all the car guys favorite now and she said (as a joke I hope)that she would exchange me for a guy with a nicer car anytime... I know there are some problems with that part, and I cant understand how to fix it, there are also some problmes with the link bars not showing ?? and my computer geek buddy is on easter holiday. I'm happy with my life, job pays the bills and the holidays and the beers soo its good. ciao André Everyone want's the site address so they can see Heidi, not the Chevelle! The Chevelle is looking good, though. I tried to leave a comment on your page for you, but I kept getting an error that the page was unavailable. Anyway, everything is looking good.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Discussion on bolting seats and seat belt harness's
I'd use something a liitle stouter than sheetmetal to reinforce the floor bolts. You don't want the seat pulling loose in an accident. I used 1/8 inch L-Bracket that spanned the distance between both rear bolts.I used one original bolt hole in front then another piece of 1/8 flat stock for the other front bolt.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Speedometer
Standard in 70-72 SS was the ROUND gauge setup. Standard round gauge package cam with warning lites, optional was the round gauge package with real gauges. The round gauge setup was an OPTION in chevelles/malibus for 70-72.Although very few people (comparatively) ordered the optional (round) gauge package with a malibu/chevelle.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Discussion on bolting seats and seat beltharness's
Are these the Scat (http://www.procarbyscat.com/) seats? I've had a set in my Chevelle for about ten years. A buddy had the deep bucket (Rally series?) in his Camaro and they were great for long trips, but definitely harder to get in and out of the car. Great support and great for hard driving, but not so easy for daily use and dating. I have one similar to the Elite series (black vinyl with a grey velour insert) in my Chevelle. Support is still good, although you do have to hand on a bit more since lateral support is not as good. I have also used these seats on long drives with no complaints. I'll look to see if I have interior pictures I can post, but you can see the headrests in some of the exterior pictures here: http://epage.com/brad/Chevelle/v45/v45.html. Ignore the tall hump in the rear, that is the child seat for my daughter. I had to fabricate mounts for them, as they did not have '67 Chevelle adapters then. I bought a close match and then had them cut and welded to the right locations. The stock seat mounting points should be reinforced already, but it can't hurt to use a large washer (they sell them for mounting harnesses) or 4 plate of 1/8 inch steel. As for mounting a harness without a cage, you can do it. I talked with Fred Crow (http://crowenterprizes.com/). I have a long 3 Y harness mounted to the rear seat belt bolts that threads through the headrest supports and a standard 3 harness for the lap belt using factory seat belt bolts. I also have the 2 anti-submarine belt, but I have not installed it. You don't need a reinforcement for that belt because it is there to keep the lap belt from coming up, it is not supposed to take the force of impact and hold your weight. For my daughter's car seat, I used a 2 sand car belt (http://crowenterprizes.com/2X2-DUNE-AUTO-BUCKLE.html) and had them fabricate the Y harness with a clip and then used the eye bolt and washer (http://crowenterprizes.com/mountinghardware.html) to mount the belt. You may not be able to do that in an Elky since there may not be a place to mount the shoulder portion, but in a Chevelle, you can use the rear seat belt mounts for the shoulder portion as long as you have a seat that they can work with. You can't do this with a seat where the belts could slip down or if the seat back is much lower than your shoulders. See their page for location info that they suggest: http://crowenterprizes.com/installationtips.html Fred Crow was very helpful and friendly. If you have questions, call them and I expect you will end up talking to him. 714.879.5970 Brad Waller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) '66 Corvette | 327/dead | 4-speed | Wilwood Brakes | 245/45/16 BFG R1 '67 Chevelle | ex-SS396 | 355/700R4 | F-Body Brakes | 275/40/17 Kumho MX -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 7:24 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Discussion on bolting seats and seat beltharness's We have been talking quite a bit about those seats over on Pro-Touring.com and I've been seriously considering a pair for my El Camino.

Hate to hear you're selling the Chevelle,Scott. I've had more Tri-5's that I can count,over thirty Corvettes,a few streetrods,and a half dozen El Caminos. An El Camino has been part of my life in some shape or fashion for over forty years. We owned our 68 for thirty two years and selling it in May 2000 was really hard. Heck,I think I'll just keep my 69 till the day they put me in the ground.

Another Chevelle, another tri-5 or maybe earlier iron like a chopped Merc. Kinda open. Still gotta get a T bucket before I die.

Re: [Chevelle-list] hey Clint - Pro Touring .com
Thanks for the feedback. Kinda hate to see it go. The vette dealer asked how I liked the 300 horses in the vette. He looked surprised when I told him it was a letdown after 600 in the Chevelle. Had only put about 300 easy miles on the Gen6 and it wanted to be turned loose. Guess I should have. I'm kinda at the point where it's not what ya do but how ya look while you're doing it so I will probably mild 350 crate the next ride and just profile. Love Mercs with mail box slot windows. Actually as long as its old and I could have not bought one new at the time ( I'm 58 so I could have bought a Chevelle new.) then I'm into it. Might just get another Chevelle. There is one around the corner that is very very slick - 66 with custom frame LS1, really pro touring and expensive. Very sweet with the right look but 50 large generates a large sucking sound in my accounts. But I think the 50 is fishing. They are into high buck cars and looking for a whale.

Re: [Chevelle-list] hey Clint - Pro Touring .com
$50K doesn't seem too high for a car of that caliber. Musclecar pricing is getting ridiculous,,especially high-end protouring cars.

[Chevelle-list] Chop Cut Rebuild Chevelle Wagon?
Has anyone seen this show? They're supposed to be doing (in?)a 65 Chevelle 2 dr wagon. So far I've managed to miss it. Might be educational seeing a frame off on a Chevelle wagon. But if it's another show like Coddington's I'll probably not bother watching. Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA

RE: [Chevelle-list] Chop Cut Rebuild Chevelle Wagon?
There is an article about this in the current Super Chevy. Apparently they're going to devote an entire season to the building of this car. The idea is to show what really goes into this type of project instead of showing just a couple quick glimpses and then voila there's a new hot rod in 60 minutes. It might actually be worth watching.

[Chevelle-list] Carpet Cleaners
Well I searched through my year of Chevelle list e-mails and couldnt find anything about carpet cleaning so. Anyone have any suggestions for getting out dug in dirt and filfth? Ive tried two things from the auto store with no luck. They work ok with the seats but not with the carpet. I just tried oxyclean which worked great with the seats but once again did nothing to the carpet. Any Ideas? Thanks, JB
Re: [Chevelle-list] Carpet Cleaners
The absolute best thing I have found, is to remove the carpet and pressure wash with a small pressure washer (1000 psi). I realize this is kind of extreme but you will be AMAZED at what will run out of that carpet, even from the places that you thought were clean! I bought a car once from a smoker, the car looked as clean as it could be, BUT it had the stale smoke smell. I removed the seats and carpet and pressure washed them, the water drained dark brown. All of these carpet cleaning products say that that "lift" the dirt out of the carpet where it can be vacuumed away (?) I just don't see how that is possible. Every time I have tried them it has appeared that I was just grinding the dirt in further.

RE: [Chevelle-list] FW: help needed w/a part #
My GM parts book shows the 5957063 (group 2.895) as 64-66 Chevelle (exc. Tilt wheel) and 66 Chevy (Nova type) but I think that's listed as PLATE, actuating ($0.97) according to the book. The actual switch is shown as 387115 at $10.00. Don't find the other number, 386780, but that's not unusual as numbers change all the time. Book says 64-66 Chevelle (exc. Tilt wheel) cam is 382931 (group 2.896) ($0.56). All prices are 1972 of course :*) Dale McIntosh -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herb Lumpp Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 8:37 PM To: Chevelle List Subject: [Chevelle-list] FW: help needed w/a part # Can anyone help Jim Brady? -Original Message- From: J.
