Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
Drove our '66 SS 396 ( A/C ) in the local Parade again. Parade's seem to test the cooling systems. I have a new stock water pump, new - recored 3 row Harrison and a seven blade fan. Water temp barley hit 220 after 20 minutes at crawling speed. Right afterwards I was able to drive through a few 45mph zones and it cooled down to 200 in a couple of miles - just needed some air.

Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
Krister, I would seriously consider a pusher electric fan and run it anytime you run your A/C. 220 is not awful but it is bordering on too hot. A pusher should pull that temp down at least ten degrees which would be good for your engine and make the A/C more efficient. Also try not to ever shut down a hot engine as the temp will just climb. I believe the boiling point for 50/50 coolant is around 240. There are other factors. It sounds like your system is doing what it should for what you have. That additional fan will make everything much happier.

For whatever reason, I also seem to remember that 240 is the magic number that you don't want to hit. Try less barley.

Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
Since there's no chance of freeze damage,I would cut the antifreeze ratio way back and run more water. Even better would be 100% distilled water with a bottle or two of Redline WaterWetter. If your car isn't all original,chuck the engine-driven fan and install a Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan set-up. They practically fall on a Chevelle radiator and at 5,000cfm,will cool just about anything.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
If you don't have Agreed Value coverage,I would be a little nervous. Just got a new policy on my 69 Camino from LaRue Insurance,while I was at Chevellabration. The car was insured on the oldpolicy with my daily driver and just covered for liability only,at a cost of $270/year. My new policy has an Agreed Value of $25,000,liability coverage of $100,000,and the yearly premium is $230. The only downside is I have a mileage restriction of 5K miles a year. Wasn't supposed to have any restrictions but there was a snafu.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
That is Lafayette, California. A small town east of San Francisco near Walnut Creek. I had (and still have) my policy with the home and auto insurer so I can drive the cars when and where I want to. The "policy" was not a hard and fast one, just a tactic that they tried to use to end the process quickly. They figured I'd take the cash out and be happy, but I really wanted my car repaired! My final resolution was to write a detailed letter to the local office, the regional office, and the home office, as well as every media outlet I could think of. They decided to fix the car the next week.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end
Since I don't want to deal with mileage and use restrictions, I still have them covered under my normal policy. Standard auto policies are Actual Cash Value (ACV) where you and they determine the value of the car at the time of the loss. This works out just fine for commodity cars that are for sale everywhere and there are no customizations. When you get into customized and/or rare cars, you can run into issues. This is a great point to talk to your agent about. See if they have an estimated value for your car and see how far away from what you think it should be that they end up. Ask about customization and improvements and if they take those into account. If you buy a $1,500 set of wheels and $1,000 tires the day before a wreck, will they add that to the value? What about a three year-old $5,000 paint job? Custom suspension, engine, interior? You either need a really good agent, or you need a special policy such as the agreed value. The only danger with agreed value is that you need to keep up to date on this. If you have the value set and then make upgrades to the car, you need to change the value. You also have to adjust for increases in value. If Clint (just for this example) does not do this and the car is really worth $35,000 when it gets into a wreck, the insurance company will pay him $25K and satisfy all their obligations. There is no right or wrong answer, as every situation is different. No matter what, I do recommend you get an agent that loves cars and understands your own love of cars. Then talk with them about possible situations and expectations. If they think of cars as means of transportation, you will not get the support you need when it comes time to have them work for their money.

Just got a new policy on my 69 Camino from LaRue Insurance,while I was at Chevellabration. The car was insured on the oldpolicy with my daily driver and just covered for liability only,at a cost of $270/year. My new policy has an Agreed Value of $25,000,liability coverage of $100,000,and the yearly premium is $230. The only downside is I have a mileage restriction of 5K miles a year. Wasn't supposed to have any restrictions but there was a snafu.
