Re: [Chevelle-list] Lock out cable

[Dale]

Oh, now it makes sense - LOL  The only place I've even seen the cable
(#3883686) listed is Classic Muscle Restoration and they don't sell it
separately only comes with the shifter kit.  You might give Hinshaw's
Chevelles a try.  He's a real enthusiast and attends most major Chevelle
shows.  They may not even be available in the aftermarket but he has a lot
of NOS and good used/refurbished Chevelle parts.  He's in North Carolina,
336.586.0802 or 336.586.0890 (9 to 5 EST) are the numbers on his website -

Re: [Chevelle-list] Front wheel bearings

[langus]

Thanks for the responses...I did figure out that for some reason the nut is 
bottoming out on the threads before the washer is pushed tight against the 
outer bearing.  So needless to say, the rotor is WAY too loose even with the 
spindle nut as tight as you can get it.  I am not sure why I guess, I have the 
exact same bearings that I took off of the old rotors.  Any suggestions as to 
spacing so that the nut actually comes in contact with the washer and the 
bearing before bottoming out on the end of the threads?  Anybody ever had this 
problem?  



As always, something always goes wrong!

Thanks for the help
Ryan

Re: [Chevelle-list] Front wheel bearings

[Mike Holleman]

Ryan, You should have very little to no rock at your spindle bearings. Just 
tight enough to eliminate this play. It is not unusual to have to readjust this 
after driving awhile also.

I believe he is referring to the reverse lockout cable used in the Muncie  
shifters 64-67.If that is what he is looking for I may have a couple left but  
will have to check. 15 years ago I had about 30 of them made and sold most  of 
them. It took forever to sell them so I never had anymore made. If Interested

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1965 Chevelle 15" Wheels & Covers?

[Dale]

Available?  Yes in the aftermarket, no from Chevrolet.  Tire sizes for 1965
Chevelles included 6.95x14, 7.35x14 and 7.75x14.  The full size car had
15-inch wheels (15x5 or 15x5.5 for police cars) in 65 according to my parts
book. There was also a 3-bar spinner wheel cover available on the full size
SS.

The best way to remove old heater hose, in my opinion, is to (1)
loosen/remove clamp then (2) with a box cutter type knife, slit the hose
lengthwise while it's on the heater core bung.  Slitting the hose also makes
it easier to remove from the fittings on the intake and/or water pump as
well.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Front wheel bearings

[Bill Lessenberry]

Yep, it'll wiggle.  If it doesn't then the bearing preload is too 
tight.  When you drive the car, the bearings will warm up, the hub 
will get hot from brake applications and if the bearing's too tight 
it won't have room to expand & will burn up.

Karl, Ask a local body shop what can be done with it. We have a local 
salvager that will come haul old cars away for scrap. I have also cut up old 
body panels and a local salvage yard let's me stuff the parts into cars they 
have waiting for the crusher. I also keep a rolling chassis(old chassis) to 
use as a body cart. I do a lot of Abodys and it gives me a working platform 
that I can bolt a body to for body prep while the chassis is stripped, 
painted and rebuilt.

This is kinda like my term paper :-)  Hope you get something out of it.
BillL 

Got Smog??

 
Here’s the result of research that I’ve done pertaining to smog controls on
the 1968~1969 Big Block powered Chevelles.  First, a little legislative
history:
 
In 1955, the Federal Air Pollution Control Act was passed.  This act
provided Federal funding for research about auto emission pollution and
authorized the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to get a better
understanding of the causes and effects of air pollution.
 
In 1959, California was the first state to set standards for air pollution.
These first standards led to the requirement that PCV valves be installed on
cars sold California beginning in 1963.
 
1963 was when the first Federal Clean Air Act was passed.  This act allowed
the Federal gov’t to define air quality criteria based on scientific
research.
 
In 1965, the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act of 1965 amends the
Clean Air Act.  This directed the Dept of Health, Education, & Welfare to
establish auto emission standards, and provided that these standards be
enforced with the 1968 model year cars.  The Feds used the same standards
that were set by California for the 1966 models.
 
1966 is when tailpipe emission standards were adopted by California, these
standards were used by the Federal gov’t for the 1968 model year cars per
the MVAPC Act of 1965.
 
In 1968, the other 49 states were required to adhere to the California
standards.  Since the auto manufacturers had been installing pollution
control systems on their engines for the California cars, it wasn’t a big
step, manufacturing-wise, to install them on all of the cars.  One of the
systems that was installed was an air-injection system, where a pump
supplied air that was introduced into the exhaust system just outside of the
exhaust port.  The additional air provided ignites the unburned hydrocarbons
in the exhaust, reducing the emissions of the engine.
 
The 1968 standards were carried over into 1969, which is also the year that
the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created.  
Tests conducted in 1968 and 1969 showed that more than half of the cars
built were failing the emission standards.
 
In 1970, the Clean Air Act is amended again to establish a Federal program
to control air pollution.  Part of that program gave the EPA enforcement and
fining powers that it previously didn’t have.  The EPA now had the power to
fine the manufacturers $10,000 per vehicle for non-compliance if they
violated the standards. 
 
 
 Now, a bit of emission technology stuff­
If the perfect amount of air and gasoline are burned in the perfect
environment, the gasoline will break down into H2O, CO2 and CO.
Unfortunately, our cars aren’t perfect and there will be leftover HC that
will be blown out the tailpipe.  The amount of the HC emissions is
controlled by a number of factors, including spark timing, camshaft profile,
carburetor throttle position, and general state of tune of the motor.   In a
manual transmission car, the driver lets off of the gas, shifts gears, gets
on the gas, lets off again, shifts gears, etc.  Each time the driver pushes
on the gas, the accelerator pump squirts, and, unless he’s driving at full
throttle, not all of that gas is burned in the combustion chamber.  The
engineers at the car plants came up with a pump that would inject air into
the exhaust port, the idea being that the extra air would ignite the
unburned HC’s that come out of the motor, thus reducing the emissions.  The
driver of an automatic transmission car doesn’t have to get off and on the
gas when he shifts, so theoretically, an automatic trans car will not create
as much HC pollution as a manual.  Usually, a higher horsepower engine will
have a more radical camshaft profile with more lift and duration.  This
allows for more cylinder filling, i.e. more fuel in the engine.  This fuel
isn’t burned thoroughly in the motor, so it will have more HC pollution than
the lower HP motor and will need more help to meet emission standards.
That’s why higher horsepower or manual transmission Chevelles have the AIR
(Air Injection Reactor) system (aka smog pump) installed on those motors.  
 
REMEMBER:  The Federal standards were applicable to ALL cars produced for
the 1968 model years, whether the states had differing or no standards at
all.  Therefore, it stands to reason that no Chevelles were produced with
the emission controls left off.  I can’t prove it yet, but I believe the
Feds had inspectors at the plants to enforce the rules.

Now you have a little background, so let's get back to our Chevelles.  
Since the 1968 and 1969 regulations were the s
