[Chevelle-list] 67 small block headers
I am going to set the old nasty headers back in to see how clearance they had as compared to the new Flowtech's on my 67. It's a 383 motor with big valve World Products S/R torker heads. What shorty and standard headers do you suggest? mike Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Re: [Chevelle-list] 67 small block headers
My favorite tubes are the Sanderson intermediates. They will fit both auto manual trans. The collectors end at the bottom of the firewall so they have tremendous ground clearance. Super quality too with a better flange hook-up.

RE: [Chevelle-list] 67 small block headers
I have Hedman mid-length headers, and I think there are a few other brands (Patriot?) that have them. They are still not full length tuned headers, but they are a bit better than block hugger or shorty headers. I had to swap to the mid length headers because the Hooker long tubes kept bottoming out as they were the lowest part of my car!

Re: [Chevelle-list] 67 small block headers
Kelly,there are many different brands of headers that will fit your 65. Brad and I were talking about headers for a lowered car. If your 65 is going to be low,the Sandersons are the way to go.

The mechanic I use is David Voulgaris in Wharton. When he cranked it up, he couldn't believe the difference!!! Money well spent!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Stupid question?
Thanks for your insight Bill. I don't think I will be doing anything too radical.

I have a friend who used to road race little street legal 4 cylinder MGs. They would put a light flywheel on their cars to make them accelerate out of corners faster. The problem that he had was that it made the car hard to drive on the street. Shifting smoothly under street conditions became difficult because the engine decelerated so fast between gears that it made the car what he called jerky. Be careful to not give in to the desire to go too high performance with a car you intend to drive on the street. Race components are cool but the higher performance the car becomes the narrower its scope of drivability. A balls out, street legal race car is a blast to drive occasionally but it's also a pain in the ass to drive if you really intended to build a driver. Experience talking...

Interesting stuff - If I'm understanding this correctly, in my manual transmission BBC application, if I had a lighter flywheel, the engine would rev up faster, but it would bog down sooner as well. When you buy a flywheel, as I will have to, what should I look for, if my application is a street machine that goes fast? Thanks, Larry
[Chevelle-list] Stupid Question
I have a 69 chevelle with a 350 and 350 trans, is it possible to put the flex plate on backwards? the reason I ask, is because it would start, then it seems to miss the fly wheel once in awhile now the starter just spins. I looked at the teeth and they seem to be worn on just part of the flywheel. Thanks in advanced Jason
RE: [Chevelle-list] Stupid Question
That's all it takes! The good news is that Tom is right and the first thing to try is a new starter. John Nasta -Original Message- I looked at the teeth and they seem to be worn on just part of the flywheel.

Yes, its possible to put the flexplate on backwards, but if it is the torque converter wont bolt up. -Dave From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Fiegel Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 7:29 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Stupid Question I have a 69 chevelle with a 350 and 350 trans, is it possible to put the flex plate on backwards? the reason I ask, is because it would start, then it seems to miss the fly wheel once in awhile now the starter just spins.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Stupid Question
thanks everyone I didn't think it was on backwards, but then again sometimes you never know, the other thing is its a brand new starter, but I have to replace the flexplate anyway so I guess I will try both thanks again everyone. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Stupid Question In a message dated 8/5/2005 7:29:15 P.M.
