[Chevelle-list] Help with seals on 9" rear
Title: Message I am putting together a new Moser 9" rear end for my 69SS. I know I need some kind of seal installer for the seals that go in the rear axle. I already screwed up one set of seals trying the large socket and hammer. I need a seal installer, but would like to know what one looks like so I make sure I get the right thing. Does anybody have any hints or recomendations on the best way to go about installing these? Thanks. john

[Chevelle-list] El Cominos
I spotted an Elco for sale in Smiths Creek, MI, last night on the way home from my son's Cub Scout meeting. If anyone's interested, I'll go check it out in the daylight. Looked pretty good from 50 yards - stock rims, two-tone paint (looked like white topsides with a burgundy wrap-around at the stone chip beltline. I'm in the market for an Elco but I can't keep two cars around so I'll be letting this one go by. Craig E.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Back in the Day / Float the Valves?
Well said. And if you get the looks of admiration & thumbs up that I get on the road, being a Chevelle Snob is not a bad thing. I'd like my engine to stay together for a while. Gone are the days when we were hot rod/shade tree kids and we could blow it and rebuild it by the following weekend!

I decided years ago when I put a 6500 RPM cam in my BB motor that I'd eyeball limit to 6000. I'm not draggin' for money and I'd just as soon not grenade my 1970 vintage block just to spank some yahoo with three earings and a '98 Mustang. If I can't git 'r done with 6k, well, I'll have to accept it. Besides, it doesn't matter how fast some lesser car goes - mine is a Chevelle with fatblock and a Muncie - that makes it more better by definition.

Yeah, me too. I've also always been careful of hitting rev limiters on other cars I've owned. I am considering a rev limiter for the Chevelle, but have always wonder if a rev limiter can cause harm to an engine as well? Or is it just fouled plugs at worst? Does anyone have an opinion on that?Of course, even if the rev limiter caused some damage, it's probably not as serious as over revving an engine I'm sure. There's no KABOOM! when you hit a rev limiter. Just wondering if there might be long term harm.Thanks,MattAt 11:29 AM 10/13/2005, you wrote: Thank you for the insight, it seems like harm can only come from this and no advantage gained.

It's a "bad thing"...especially if the piston slaps a valve. That's one of the reasons valve seat spring load is important and why you match springs to cam, etc. Craig E. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 1:55 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Back in the Day / Float the Valves?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Back in the Day
Back in fall of 64 at York US 30 Dragway in PA I saw Malcom Durham match race Ronnie Sox. Malcom was in a 65 Chevelle, I think it was Strip Blazer III, and Sox was in a Comet or a Mopar. I forget because I was focused on the Chevelle. Sox won the first round. Malcom blew him away on the second round & sucked a valve going through the lights. Match race over for the night. I've been hooked on 65's ever since! The following April I ordered an L-79 4speed SS. I'm on my 4th one today. Phil G. Old fart too.
