Re: [Chevelle-list] Muncie linkage.
Dennis, The Muncie shifter linkage was real junk. Most guys changed them out shortly after buying their car. Unless your looking for a 100 percent correct restoration I would go with a Hurst shifter for your Muncie transmission. If you want the correct look in the car you can adapt the Muncie shifter handle to the Hurst linkage.

I've seen some Muncie 4 speed shifters for sale on ebay.Most of them are missing the linkage.Does anybody know where you can buy the linkage for these old shifters? I want to change out my turbo 400 for a 4 speed Muncie on my 68. Anything special a guy should watch out for? Thanks for any info ahead of time...Dennis

Re: [Chevelle-list] Steering Ratio
I have the Monte Carlo pump on my 72. Feel & response are just about right for a driver. But, the box does slightly limit the turning radius. Its more annoying than a real problem . Jim Shea @ Chevelle tech recommends a box from a 93 - 98 (or so) Jeep Grand Cherokee for a daily driver veicle . The road feel is good and the turning radius more closely matches the original - 72 anyway. BTW - Jim is a retired GM suspension engineer and he has several web pages devoted to steering stuff. Do a search over there for detailed info.On 7/16/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-Hash: SHA1Hiya,A box from a 92-96 Caprice cop car (look for option 9C1) or 94-96 Impala SS will have a 12.7:1 ratio as well. I'm rebuilding one now, soI can't say of the effect, but the general consensus seems to be thatit's the best ratio! You could upgrade to a metric pump at the same time, ie, if you're in the wrecking yard.You'll also want to upgrade your power steering pump for greater flowand pressure at the same time. This involved swapping a fitting for onewith a larger orifice, a shorter spring to adjust minimum pressure, and shortening the flow valve. This page shows a comparison of a few pumpsand their interiors, and has part numbers for the ugrades.http://jeffd.50megs.com/Pump_valve_mod_page.htm I pulled the pump from the cop car, and the fitting and valve need noimprovement. Just the spring is different. I also pulled a pump from a90s truck, and it was the same - just needed the spring. Take a fluid wrench and 1" socket to the yard and see what you can assemble fromwhat's there if you need to do it on the cheap.Hope this helps,Dave.On Jul 15, 2006, at 4:13 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:>> If you can find one, get a steering box from a Monte Carlo SS> (83-88).

Re: [Chevelle-list] 64-65 dash A/C vent question for the experts
Thanks Larry, That is in keeping with what the customer says. It would be great if you could check one or two more. I have been told that there actually were 2 different sizes in 1964 but for 1965 they should all be the same. I wonder if there might have been some early 1965s using the 1964 dash outlet. John Nasta Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: John: I measured the one in my "original still in the car" dash and I got 5 inches x 1 inch. I have another out of the car and can measure it tomorrow night . Both are 65 Chevelle A/C dashes .I may even have 2 or three more stored away. Larry (Z)
