[Chevelle-list] Newbie - Question regarding restification sequence
Folks- I am new to Team Chevelle - as of this morning in fact. I have owned my Chevelle since 1987, through High School, College, and beyond. I am active duty Air Force, and have an assignment to Fresno California pending for April 2006. Finally, I am in a position to retrieve my car from my father's house in central California and dive into a rectification - but need a bit of help. I am fairly mechanically inclined, but have never disassembled a car before. I want to do a complete frame-off rectification, complete with powder coat to the frame, brake and power train upgrades, the full works. But is there a publication or book that outlines the best sequence of events for a successful frame-off rectification? I already have an assembly manual, and have nearly read it cover to cover. I have a positive attitude, and fairly decent budget, and 3 years to complete the project. In order not to mess things up too bad, and make the road to success more smooth, I am just looking for a "playbook." Does one exist?

Re: [Chevelle-list] orange vs. green anti-freeze
98 GMC 3500 with Dex Cool. $1400.00 to replace radiator , intake gaskets and hoses. Cause? Shop (Cousins shop) says" We get tons of Gm cars-trucks with factory antifreeze needing gasket and radiator replacement." Replacement anti freeze? It sure wasn't Dex Cool. Larry (Z)

Re: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil
I would not run car oil in a motorcycle,due to its lack of anti-shear additives such as zinc,etc. These additives are not used in automotive oil because they will damage catalytic converters. In my ZR-1 Corvettes,I ran Redline 10W-40 and changed it every year. Expensive but it's hard to find better synthetic. I ran Amsoil in my aircraft and liked it alot.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Good enough for POR15?
I've used POR on some test metal (an old car out in the field), I lightly brushed it with a steel brush, then put on the POR-15. The metal was VERY rusty. Two years later out in the weather it looked more or less the same. The POR had changed colors, but was still there. I've also applied the POR Patch to Paper Towels, then filled over rust holes for a temporary measure. It acted like thin sheets of fiber glass when done. It lasted for years (so much for temporary, LOL). If you aren't a stickler for 100% perfect, just use the POR-15 patch, and some paper towels, then POR the rest of the roof, and you'll be ok for years. Probably longer than most people keep interest in an old car.

I had it flushed and put the regular green antifreeze in it and it runs about 20 deg. cooler in the summer .The low coolant light has never came on since.By the way my Impala had only 40,000 miles on it when the antifreeze looked like sludge.

The green seems to be more commonly available. When my friend Rick & I built the EC engine we used orange just because it was what he had in his shop. He also gave me a spare gallon to take home.

Re: [Chevelle-list] orange vs. green anti-freeze
John, The orange was formulated to GM specs and is recommended by GM for late model engines. It has Dex Cool which I believe is similar to water wetter and supposed to cool somewhat better than the green. I have been told not to mix them. I have been using the orange in my old cars for years without problems. I have not heard of or had the problems Gene mentioned, but I can't say that the Or. is any better or worst than standard green anti freeze. It mainly ended up in my cars for consistancy purposes.

RE: [Chevelle-list] 400 SB (changed from synthetic oil)
Larry, I bought the short block from a friend I completely torn it down I used the pistons, rods, and crank. I had the internal parts balanced and the pistons fly cut to get compression down to 10.5 to 1. I had the crank with harmonic balancer and flex plate spun balanced, that a lone cost me $300. I put all new bearings in motor. I had to buy all new parts ,I went w/ a trick flow kit from Summit it gives you alm. heads, hdy. roller cam, roller rockers arp head bolts, gasket set, timing chain and more. Summit owns trick flow they are just down the street from summit. It run good after I got it broke in, the biggest problem I had with a 750 speed demon carb. that I went with!! it ran very rich from the beginning. The mixture screws would work the opposite way they should work!! As I turned them in the higher the idle and vacuum would go!!! I called demon carb many times, after a lot of work I finally put new jets in 2 numbers smaller all four of them and new power valve!! mixture screws still work the same but now plugs are tan or brown, they were very black!! I have what looks like a stock radiator I had problems w/ it over heating this summer. I put in a 160 degree thermostat when I first started it, it stuck this summer I got up to 230 degrees w/ alm. heads (not good) I took it out and through it a way!!! I took a old one and took the guts and spring out, so it is a restrictor now. worked good the rest of summer until I went to car show in Frankenmuth Michigan about 85 degrees and stop and go traffic it went back to 210 - 230 degrees!! I have to buy a alm. radiator this this winter, so now as you can see the 400 SB is noted for over heating!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil
For what it's worth, a few years ago Consumers Reports did an extensive analysis of oil in a fleet of 60 New York taxicabs and ran them 60,000 miles tearing the motors down and rebuilding before and after. Their conclusion: Change every 6k and any ordinary 10w30 oil does just fine. The benefits from Mobil One changed at either 15k or 6k miles were unmeasureable and the benefits of changing Mobil One at 3000 mile intervals were wildly exceeded by the cost of the oil and filter. The exception: severe duty such as desert, construction jobsites, continuous trailer towing, etc. For many years I've used Valvoline 10/30 and a good quality ($6) filter and changed every 4k in my pickup and 5k in my wife's minivan. I change the Chevelle once each fall before laying it up because I never rack up more than three or four thousands miles on it. Also, for you motorcycle guys, Motorcycle Consumer News did a chemical analysis of oils a year or two ago that concluded much the same thing - any good quality oil is so good that comparisons do not yield measureable results. The quality of all oil has improved more in the last ten years than in the previous 100 years and ANY oil made in the last few years is better than the very best made in 1990. Technology has moved on. Provided you use the correct oil for your clutch system, any oil is excellent. Finally, HotRod magazine did a comparo of air filters last year - don't know if anyone caught it - but their conclusion: The high end "K&N" $30 filters did no better than a $4 Fram from Autozone in either filtration or ability to "pass gas". For what it's worth, my BIL is an "A&P" (Airframe & Powerplant) mechanic. He uses Amsoil, changes it every 15k with a filter change every 7500.

I have been an avid photographer since I worked at Texas A&M Experiment Station(1973-1978). At the time I liked Macro and Micro photography and did a fair bit of aerial infra red photography of the Ag Experiment Station I worked at. Hence the older Nikon. I have an old ring flash I haven’t used in years. I thought about selling my Nikon and all the lenses, but you get so little for them. I also have a Canon AE-1 with auto-winder. At present I use a 8 megapixel Sony. I’m hooked on digital. I can correct, edit and send via email. Most of the stuff I have done lately is my two grandsons. I plan on upgrading my digital again. Maybe Canon or Nikon. Canon has a 14 megapixel camera I would love to have, but….it’s a bit too much, when I could put the extra bucks into my 72. I also use a tiny Sony Digital video camera. Hasselblad is as good as they come!! I’m a bit jealous!(GRIN) 50mm is a heck of a medium! My next phase on my car is new front suspension, disc brakes, and deciding whether to keep my 15” wheels or move up to 17’s”. If I do, I’ll need all the cash I have, plus I want to get it painted…..All I need is a bucket of Money!!(GRIN) Oh..none of my shots are on the web. I have 2-300 gig hard drives for storage and two 300’s for external backup. I build my own computers about every 3 to 4 years, from the best parts available at the time.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: printer notes - hope this is useful
I had an Epson photo 820 that printed great pictures when it would print. Unfortunately if it sat idle for more than a week the jets or something would plug and the photo would come out with lines through them, etc. Using the head cleaning utility on the printer used up ink and I found myself having to do this each time I wanted to print a photo. I got sick of that routine and bought an HP Photosmart 7760 and I've had great luck with it so far. Too bad about the Epson because it printed excellent pictures when it would work properly, I just couldn't see using up all my ink on a nozzle cleaning utility.
