Re: [Chevelle-list] Re STARTER

Had no problem with the warranty, opgi replaced it no problems, very good  
about that. WE got it fixed finally, it needed a relay put in, got a mopar   
relay and works fine now.  Mopars come with a relay and they have the gear  
reduction starter as well.  Just had to hid it so no one could see  it.
 
We didn't get the floods here, except minor  street flooding, I live  on 
coast where it is flat. I did have lots of rain up  at my place in  central 
Texas, 
washed out the roads there, but my land is high so no damage. We  just watch 
for hurricanes, and go when they so go. Try to get out early, don't  want to 
get in that mess from Rita 2 years ago, that is what is good about  being 
retired,can go early and beat the traffic. 
 
I know  about the kids and bills, got my 2 through college and now it  is my 
turn.  I was lucky, worked for a major petro-chemical company  and  they 
offered us a buy out when I was 52, I got out and don't regret it  either. All  
we 
have here to work  at is chemical  plants or  refinery's, the chemical plant 
is a lot safer. Right, the one I worked for  blew up it 1947 and took the town 
and 500 people with it. A ship in harbor  caught fire and blew up,loaded with 
ammonia nitrite. 
 
Take care and have fun with the Chevelles,  Darrell

Re: [Chevelle-list] Wheel hop.

Your going to see more wheel hop with a manual than with an auto. The big 
problem with the A-bodies is the pinion angle. You can reduce the wheel hop 
with ladder bars but it will ride like a log wagon. Get a pair of adjustable 
upper control arms and play with the pinion angle. You'll remove the wheel 
hop.

I just installed a Tremec 5 speed into my 68 SS. I switched
from a TH 400. The problem That I have now is bad wheel hop.
I never had it with the 400. I have boxed my lower control
arms and installed urethane bushings. Plus I have airlift
drag bags in my coils and Monroe coil shocks. I'm thinking
that I might have to get a set of traction bars,but I don't
want to loose the stock look. Have any of you guys used
traction bars or adjustable upper control arms to fix a
problem like this? The only thing that I can think of, that
might have changed in this switch over is the pinion angle.
Thanks ahead of time for any helpDennis

I've got a set of Lakewood traction bars on my "69' Malibu and like them really 
well.  Being a kid in the 60's I think bars would enhance the look of any 
muscle car from that era, but then again I am not a purist.

Darrell,  best  of  luck  with  yours,  what  kind  of  warrenty  does  
powermaster  offer ?  also  really  instrested  in  the  relay  that  you  are  
using,  again,  best  of  luck, for  now  mine  is  on  the  back  burner,  
with  three  kids,  and  many  other  bills  its  not  as  easy  as  it  once  
was,  take  care,  ronnie

they said the starter should work with both the 153 &168 tooth flywheel. The 
tech told us that either the battery was not at full charge or we needed a 
relay, like Pelle suggested. Trying that now and will let you all know how it 
works. This was another tech, decided to ask another as the first didn't seem 
to know.
