[Chevelle-list] Bracket for distr block

[Hans Edlund]

Hi

I need the special bracket which holds the rear end bracket
hose/distr block on a 12-bolt

For sure, I have seen it somewhere, but where?

 

Any help will be appreciated

POR-15 is isocyanate
based. According
to the EPA "Methyl isocyanate is extremely toxic to humans from acute short-term
exposure.  In Bhopal, India, accidental acute inhalation exposure to
methyl isocyanate resulted in the deaths of about 3,800 people and adverse
health effects in greater than 170,000 survivors.  Pulmonary edema was the probable cause of
death in most cases."

 

It's nasty stuff. It also sticks to skin
really well. Use plenty of ventilation and good gloves.

  to carefully unpack the kit and place each component in its

  the eight-millimeter torque fork. Be sure that the refibulator is 
  mounted at a 66 degree angle and properly dispersed so that it is

  that the unit receives the proper oxygen level and barometric 
  pressure. Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by northeast to within 
  the parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather satellite and apply 
  pressure to the wing shaft on the southern most section of the modular 
  accelerator. Using the special ratchet adapter supplied with the unit, 
  rotate the heater core to the "on" position. The "on" position has

Usually the short tailshaft is the one going in the A-body.  At least that

RE: [Chevelle-list] Trans. Swap

[Dale McIntosh]

Sometimes it helps to know what year you're working with. On a 67, for example, 
not only is the front yoke different, but the driveshaft and how it bolts to 
the rear end is different.  A 67 TH400 uses two straps where everything else 
uses u-bolts for the rear universal to the rear's front yoke.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Mirror ?

[Rick Schaefer]

Yes, you can get the glass out in 1 piece, you just need to be
careful. On the front side of the mirror, I rolled back the rubber
gasket.   Slid a dull butter type knife between the glass & rubber. 
SLOWLY rolled the rubber and followed with the knife around the
perimeter - careful not to cut into the rubber.   (Make sense??)

I had my mirror resilvered locally.  I went to an Antiques dealer &
asked them who did their mirrors.   Turned out to be very cheap to
have it done, I did have to wait a few weeks til he had enough
resilvering to make it worth his time.

Re: [Chevelle-list] New seats

[mike f]

The difference I have found is clearly "price" for
one. And the second is so slight, probably not worth
mentioning. The FATMAT product is .080 thick product
where others, when I looked were .060 or .053 thick. 
1$ sq ft is a good price point. Butyl composition with
alumin substrate, might be cheaper now.  You need a
heat gun and it will stretch and conform better. It's
really good to use heat in a 90 degree garage. 

hope this helps.

That is correct. better than that is screw a metal screw in the

Then turn it upside down for a second (to coat the screw threads).

[Chevelle-list] Hot August Nights

Hey all,

This is my first post to the list but I have been a reader
for a while now.

I have a 1971 Malibu
that is a never ending project and I enjoy this list very much. There is lots
of good info to be had here.

 

I was wondering how many folks plan to attend the Hot August
Nights event in Reno, NV this year and if there were any unadvertised
Chevelle get-togethers that anyone knows about.  I go every year and
it’s a lot of fun. You can get more info at www.hotaugustnights.net

Clint,

 I did two nice coats including the seat back and package tray with less
than 1 quart. That's for a 69 coupe.
 A tip on using this stuff:
Buy a quart but don't open the lid. Shake it to get it mixed up then take an
awl and punch a hole in the bottom at the edge of the can. Squeeze out what
you need by pumping the sides of the can. When your done, use RTV to seal
the hole. I've been able to keep the stuff fresh for years using this
method. If you open the lid, the stuff will go bad in a month or two.

OR   (I know some of you don't like this, but--it's my job!!)

To unsubscribe from this service you must first 
purchase a 
Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation 
Unit. The unit can be 
obtained from most hardware stores and dental clinics. 
Be sure to obtain the proper permits to operate the 
unit from the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Food and Drug 
Administration in 
Washington D.C. USA. 
Be sure to carefully unpack the kit and place each 
component in its 
accompanying mesh safety bag. 
Mount the Pershing DF4 mesinator on top of the 
perforated Gerring Mach 
77 refibulator and attach them using the 
eight-millimeter torque fork. 
Be sure that the refibulator is mounted at a 66 degree 
angle and 
properly dispersed so that it is flush with the curved 
section of the 
Pyrex thistle tube. 
Place the four sections of the triangular separation 
gear into the 
posture cylinder and lock them into place using the 
band aid adhesive strip. 
Insert the wiggling pin into the wobbling hole, making 
sure that it 
seated correctly. 
Place the D cell battery and the eleven 9 volt 
batteries in the power 
chamber. 
The device should be calibrated before operation using 
the optional 
digital corkscrew accessory pack prior to operation. 
Insert the digital corkscrew through the electronic 
combustion service 
chamber using caution not to touch the reinforced 
tungsten igniter 
control module and quickly turn the inverter drive to 
28.6 degrees. 
Turn the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription 
Cancellation Unit upside 
down and hit the bottom plate with a 48-ounce 
ball-peen hammer while 
shaking the unit vigorously. 
Force open the door to the incineration valve 
compartment and set the 
pressure gauge to 719 psi. 
Close the door and seal it shut with duct tape. 
The unit should now be properly calibrated and ready 
to use. 
Before activating the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable 
Subscription 
Cancellation Unit, you must first elevate it to a 
height of 229 feet 
above sea level to insure that the unit receives the 
proper oxygen level 
and barometric pressure. 
Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by northeast to 
within the 
parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather satellite and 
apply pressure to 
the wing shaft on the southern most section of the 
modular accelerator. 
Using the special ratchet adapter supplied with the 
unit, rotate the 
heater core to the "on" position. The "on" position 
has been obtained 
when the green light begins to flash, signifying that 
the red light is 
about to go off. 
Once the red light is off, flip the toggle switch 
labeled "ON/OFF" to 
the "ON" position and count to 47 before logging on to 
the system. 
Logon using your username and password and wait for 
the prompt. 
Once prompted you must check the box with the 
appropriate action you 
wish to take and then press the pressure release 
button and turn off the 
compressor while turning the hand crank at 231 meters 
per minute. 
Next, press control, alt, delete, caps lock, shift,

Hey guys,

    I finally have gotten around to building my 396 and
putting in a TH400.  (I get a nice discount with Advance Auto Parts)  What I was
wondering is what tail length I need on the TH400 to fit the original
driveshaft or do I have to do work to the driveshaft no matter what?  If I have
to do work then what size is preferred?  Thanks again -RJ

Has anyone bolted on a overdrive unit to a T-400? They seem a little expensive. Would a 700R stand up to 400 HP+.

I doubt that FatMat is better than Dynamat. Cheaper maybe but not any
better. Besides that,FatMat is kinda hard to get since the people that make
& sell it won't answer or return a phone call. Email,either.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Window Channel felt

[mike f]

I have the same problem, David on my 67. I have thus
far purchased "2 times" replacment run channel
felt/rubber and it simply not the right part.  Now,
what I am doing is to go to Joann's fabric and
purchase 6 yards of 2 inch wide "sewn in" 
velcro. Thrrow away the hooks side and take the felt
side to someone who can sew the two pieces together
with a thin backing material in a cross stitch. 

Like I said, it's been disappointing to me and I have
not said anything to the vendors I purchased the
products from.
