Re: [Chevelle-list] ¿Clutch Fan Question?

I don't believe that the fan clutch are a matched set. Each would be independently balanced to itself. Therefore I'd GUESS that orientation of the two would not be critical. I don't remember ever seeing any reference to alignment. Bolt em together and if I'm wrong someone on the list will correct me LOL.

Neglected to notice at the time, but there is a hole on the edge of the clutch and a pop rivet in one of the fan blades. I know these are for balance, but don't know if they go together (same side) or opposite. Wheels and tires supposedly follow this same condition (with markings) for basic balance, but not sure of the orientation. Any Idea?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Painting batteries
Krylon makes a paint specifically made for painting plastic. Works great on plastic lawn furniture. Should work on a plastic battery.

Re: [Chevelle-list] LED Lights
Try changing your flasher can to an electronic flasher can. Like the one's made for trucks. Not sure it will correct your issue but it may.

Re: [Chevelle-list] LED Lights
I've read about the electronic flasher fixing similar problems. You might also want to check the grounds. Follow the bulb wiring back to where it grounds to the chassis and make sure that the connection is clean, rust free tight.Poor ground connections cause all sort of strange electric problems. Also make sure that the contacts in the bulb housing are clean.The LED lamps are probably exposing an existing problem that you have had all along. Good luck.

[Chevelle-list] First passes down the 1/4 mile
I just got back from the drag strip where I made my first passes. The first run was 15.107 @ 92.06mph. I then took a lot of stuff out of the trunk, cleaning supply box, chair toolbox. The second pass was 14.608 @ 93mph and my final pass was 14.701 @ 92.57mph. I don't know if this is too shabby for a 4200# car, with me in it, on pump gas and on street tires running a 3.31 rear gear and 27 tall tires. What do you guys and/or gals think? Is there anyone on the list that has the software to figure an approximate HP using these figures. I sure would, or maybe not, like to know without being able to put it on a chassis dyno.

Re: [Chevelle-list] LED Lights
Double check all bulbs. sounds like one (or all) is bad, or wired wrong. swap in one old bulb and see what happens, if it doesn't fix it then swap the old bulb into another light until you it starts working right. Did you have any problems before the change over? If not, then the change over is most likely the problem.

Re: [Chevelle-list] First passes down the 1/4 mile
John - What were the 60ft and 100ft times? Can you scan your slips? Those times aren't terrible - about average for a tank like a Chevelle with a regular guy driving, though you could probably squeeze a good bit more out of it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] First passes down the 1/4 mile
http://www.dragtimes.com/horsepower-et-trap-speed-calculator.php Horsepower @ flywheel = 252.37 HP Although I think this is HP at the rear wheels, as flywheel power depends on drivetrain losses and you can't use them in a calculation. Don't bank on this, but it makes sense to me that way. Or http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm *The ET method* This method uses the weight of the car and the time it took that car to travel 1330 feet (¼ mile). The formula is: hp = weight / (ET / 5.825)^3 = *254* horsepower *The Trap-speed method* This method uses the weight of the car and the speed at which the car completed the quarter-mile run. The formula is: hp = weight * (speed / 234)^3 = *251* horsepower Brad Waller '67 Chevelle '66 Corvette John W. Lonadier, Jr. wrote: I just got back from the drag strip where I made my first passes.
