RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore
Yep, when you have 15 red wires and the wiring diagrams suck a$$... Toning is the way to go. Quick, easy, and the newer multimeters are able to do it (at least the one I have). For me, toning is faster because I can just rake the probe over all the wires and it will buzz when it gets to the right one. Using the ohmmeter is the same concept though. Six for one, half dozen for the other. -JB -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 8:58 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore Uncrunk?

I've never been happier to say I know these guys",or want to.I'm new at this ,since DEC.,but like most of us newbys,I've learned a lot from the list.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1970 CHEVELLE
Hi; The 70-396 option was Z25; 454 was Z15. The car should have a blacked out grille, black rear bumper pad, wheel well mldgs, raised hood and the 5 spoke 14 in. sport rims. There should be a SS emblem on the grille,rear bumper and steering wheel as well as the front fenders. The dashboard panel should be black faced and have round gauges. Also the turn signals should be clear, not amber. Also should have disc brakes up front. hope this helps.

RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore
Lol thanks. It has been keeping me up nights for the past few weeks ;) I did remove the seats and such and there is a connector on the drivers side seat belt but I reconnected it. I bought the car purely to resell, I knew it had been sitting for 8 years and while it was in excellent condition, it needed some major cleaning which is why I had to take the carpet out to totally clean it. So I wasn't quite sure the condition of the starter or switch to start off with. I don't like selling bad cars so I figured what the hell. (On the other hand, I found out the condition of the fly wheel and... it's bad). There aren't any more parts to throw at it so I am done there :) It has to be either a fusible link which I can't seem to find or the neutral safety switch. The connector is pretty tight into the shifter so I am fairly certain it's not the neutral safety switch. That only leaves me with the awful fusible link. They're easy enough to find in the Chevelle but it's like going into hell on this car. On the other hand I have toned the wire coming off of the starter (toned it from the starter to the neutral safety switch), the battery cable (from the batt to the starter), which leaves only two red wires. I found one of them last night and toned that which leaves one red wire. If I find that... it shouldn't tone. The wiring diagrams only show one wire with a fusible so they are no help either. Fun fun fun :) I'll try posting there, thanks for the advice! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schaefer Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 6:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore couldn't ignore it! I laid awake all night thinking about it :D . If you removed carpet, you had to remove seats. Is there a seat belt or seat interlock that you didn't reconnect?

RE: [Chevelle-list] Even years cursed?
Actually, there were more 66s made than 67s according to published figures. 1966 saw 471,052 units (including 23,688 Canadian) while the 67 saw only 403,963 (Canadian numbers not available). Even more SS models built in 66, 66,843 hardtops and 5,429 convertibles, as opposed to the 67 with 59,685 hardtops and 3,321 convertibles. For 64 vs. 65, they're pretty equal; 387,119 (incl. 16,285 Canadian) 64s produced vs. 397,750 (incl. 19,132 Canadian) 65s, within 3%.

Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject)
There was a recent discussion on buildsheets. Buildsheets were used by the line workers as to the equipment a vehicle was to be assembled with. Once done with the paper, liner workers would stick the paper in just about any where they wanted. More to get rid of the paper than anything else - it wasn't mandatory it stay with the car. Common areas have been under carpets, stuffed up in the dash, on top of fuel tank (weather got most of these), above the headliner, stuffed into seats etc. If by chance your car was built Canadian built, Canada kept a build record for each car shipped - so you might be in luck. Check your VIN and if not sure submit your VIN to the list and we can direct you. Krister I have a '69 Chevelle SS and trying to find the build sheet for the car . The interior was completely re-done by the previous owner . Asked him if the build sheet was found then and he said no . Is the a source available to get a copy of the build sheet from ? Does Chevy have any sort of old records ( an archieve of build sheet )like that and how can I contact them? Thanks for any helpPeter Hnat

[Chevelle-list] Good Stories about cars
Hi All, I'm a newbie to the list, but one of my favorite parts of being on a list to hear stories of experience with your cars, a car or vehicle related. I can start by sharing mine. My second car was a 1971 chevelle convertible. I paid 2,000 for it back in 1980. I drove the snot out of it. Well my story was me hanging out with a coworker. He was small of statue, but very outgoing. Anyways, my car has ps, and pdb on it. We are just doing some driving around in the hills in N. calif. The day was gorgeous, so the top was down. The car was gold metallic with black stripes and a bubble hood. (cowl hood without the flap). It had a 327 vette motor in it connected to a turbo 350 at. corvette rallys finished out the package. It was a nice and fun car. Anyway, back to the story. We are crusing up the hills in fremont just looking at nice houses and chatting. Not buying anything, but just enjoying the ride. We were driving up a windy road to the homes and then back down. One the way down, my brakes got too hot and stopped working. I'm going down this 2 lane road and it dead ends into a busy street. So as I'm coming down, my buddy is being his usual chatter box type self. We are about 3 turns from the end and picking up speed pretty quickly. I know that the last street before the deadend has some houses on it and it's long. I lean over to my buddy and tell him to put on his seatbelts because we have no brakes. He instantly stops talking and turns bright white... I'm running about 40 - 45 mph, maybe faster. Looking at the speedo wasn't too high on my priority list. So I have the end of the road in sight. It's a T at the end of the road. My emergency brake isn't working properly, so that's out So I come to the last street before the Tee and hang a HARD right. Luckily with downshifing and a little uphill in the road, I roll to a stop. It takes about 10 minutes for my heart to stop racing, but it finally comes down. Thank goodness our cars handle. It would have really sucked to smash my car into another one or into a stationary object... Thomas

Re: [Chevelle-list] ] Age of the Chevelle owners
Hi, I'm 47, prematurely gray. People ask if I bought my 64 new! : ( First 64 Chevelle came in 77 when I was in Orlando Florida. Courtesy of US Navy that car went through every state between Florida and Massachusetts. (Fla, Ga, SC, NC, Va, Del, Md, Pa, NJ, NY, Conn, RI, Mass) Fast forward 20+ years: The rust had caught up with it. 330,00 miles on odometer! Saw it rollover twice. The money spent to fix that one would probably take care of the other three Chevelles so it had to go. Sold her to a professional welder, best chance for a car that needed so much sheetmetal replaced. A pro street project I suspect. Didn't ask, didn't want to know. Still have the 2dr wagon, 4dr sedan, SS hardtop, all 64's.

RE: [Chevelle-list] camaro article - ignore
I agree with Rick. The "I thought maybe it was this, so I replaced it" method is not the best approach. Think about wiring that runs near or under the carpet that might have gotten jostled. There is quite a lot you can accomplish with a simple test light. For instance, if your starter S terminal is not getting juice when the key is in the start position, don't bother replacing the starter. A new starter that is also not getting juice will not solve the problem. You can also usually poke the test light into the backs of the plastic connectors. If there is juice on one side of a connector but not the other, or at both sides of one connector but not at the next one, there's your problem. Also don't forget to check the fuses with a test light. Poke the tester in on the "cold" side of each fuse. Sometimes fuses look ok at a glance, but they are not. a test light will tell you whether or not they are actually conducting electricity rather than just what they look like they are doing.

With regard to the 68 being a red headed step child, it's kinda like the "thru cars" in the Tri Five group . Everybody refers to them as the 55 thru 57 Chevy which makes the 56 the "thru car".

I am 55. My first Chevelle was a 65 SS 327 4sp convert. What a car. It was a warmed over 327 and really flew. About 6 years ago, my son and I bought another chevelle, a 72. It was a basket case and if I had it to do again would have started with something a little better shape.
