Saw this in their online catalog. *The Truth as I remember it*.Once upon a time, long, long ago, auto radios had vacuumn tubes inside. You can look it up in the history books . The tubes needed a high voltage to heat the cathode (?) (its been a long time) in order to operate. The 6 volts, ( yes back then automobile systems used *6* volt batteries) of the battery was not enough. The vibrator converted the 6V DC to pulsating DC. Then the voltage was raised to a level that would heat the cathode by use of a transformer. Then along came John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter Brattain. And the rest is history. Its been 40+ years, so take the above with a healthy dose of salt.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 71 SS Power steering pump brackets and American Racing Wheels.
Just a point of clarification. When I said "just a hose" I didn't mean garden hose. I just meant that you don't have to worry about special bends in the metal, because you re-use the metal parts of the old return hose assembly, and just clamp the new hose on. Quoting "Jim H. Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: http://www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cfm?location_id=3002 Check this site out for part numbers. Power steering hose is made not to degrade from chemical exposure. The return hose is just a piece of hose. You can get the pressure hose from any local parts store but it will not be bent the same way as OEM and you will have to modify the end that connects to the steering box, unless it is going to be a show car, in which case I think the people here could point you to a match for OEM.

Re: [Chevelle-list] RADIO
Yes I sent it in. Took 4 weeks to get it back but was worth it. They replaced the innards with a digital unit. You can't tell by looking at it except for the LED light that tells me when I'm receiving AM or FM. I could have chose to leave that. The sound is fantastic. I think I paid $375. Well worth it to me. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 7:09 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] RADIO Two questions for you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Four Post Lift - Finally!
I've had mine for about a year now and I don't know how I lived without it. It's great for cleaning lower half of the car for the next car show but that was never on my mind when I bought it. Mine is a 2 post.
