Sorry,

The starter is an 1108391 date coded 8 M 16.  Maybe someone out there  
needs a '68 starter...

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body is off the frame!

[Thomas Ringlein]

Sorry the late reply, but I got the car done and hit the road that night
(Wednesday) for the Thanksgiving holiday.

As for the plans for the car for 08, that depends on what the Air Force does
with me the next few years.  The plan should look something like follows:

 

Nov 07 - start work on the frame

Mar 08 - finish work on frame

Apr 08 - Get car in and on the rotisserie - get firewall smoothed, bottom of
car repaired, painted.

Jun 08 - Get car back - finish up the LS1 install (figure out induction
setup, stroker or not?, etc.)

Nov 08 - Get car back in for full paint (body work is already done)

Dec 08 - I will be hot for another trip to the sand.  I anticipate 12 months
in hell this time around.

Dec 09 - Return (with bills paid) and reassess from there - I may be ready
for another move (perhaps St. Louis area?)

 

Realistically, the car will be 100% done in about 4-5 years - deployment
cycle notwithstanding.  If the Air Force leaves me here, then it can be done
in about 3-4 years.  I get started on the frame tomorrow.  If the rest of
the job pleasantly surprises me like pulling the body did, I could be done
in 2 years (If I had a pile of money).

The points that I lifted the body caused no flex whatsoever - even the door

Now I have some work to do.  I have to get the frame blasted, boxed, welds

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT Appliance Headers

[Dale]

Appliance made wheels as well as headers and maybe more stuff.
Back-in-the-day, Appliance headers featured heavier tubes, individual
flanges for the head mounting and 4-bolt square collectors (as opposed to
the 3-bolt triangular type).  Very good quality headers too if IIRC.   Can't
remember exactly all the wheels they made but they did make a very nice
Buick wire wheel knockoff.  I think (think mind you) they sold out to Mr.
Gasket at one point but could be wrong.  This was back in the 60s and I've
slept since then.  :*)

Re: [Chevelle-list] electrical question (blower motor)

[John Nasta]

Sounds like you are saying that at the lower speeds current from the  
resistor will be fed back into the orange wire thru the relay. I  
wasn't thinking about checking that but I do want to see if the purple  
lead is hot at the relay and at the motor w/ the key on and fan at one  
of the lower speeds.


BTW I did remove the entire fender & inner fender. In the long run I  
think that was the best thing to do. I did not remove the hood. I was  
able to remove one hinge and shove a rag under the back corner and use  
a broom handle to hold up the front center. I think it was a bit of a  
sight, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.


Hint: open the door early and leave it open.

At least the heater core is in so I will have *some* heat no matter  
what but hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to figure out what's up w/  
the blower.

bundle/connector at the heater box resistor & then joins with the wire going
to the motor.

   IF this is a correct ASSUMPTION,with the key ON and the blower switch
in any run  position (except HI) AND the hot lead disconnected at the horn
relay  you should read the voltage that is coming from the switch & thru the

disconnected from the horn relay.

 This should check the entire circuit from the interior fuse panel, thru the
switch & then thru the resistor.   With the blower speed set to Lo you will
have a few volts (guessing 6-8), on Med the voltage should rise a bit
(8-10???) .  Thes are just guestimates but the important thing is that you
have some voltage at Lo and slightly more at medium.

Re: [Chevelle-list] electrical question (blower motor)

[John Nasta]

Thanks Rick,

That color diagram is super-nice. I have also since found the '69  
wiring diagram manual in my car-chives and a few loose pages of  
diagrams as well that are also in the manual.


I see that the orange wire comes off the front lighting harness and  
according to the link you sent it should be dead on an AC car like  
mine, and can be cut off. I'll test that but won't be so quick to cut  
it off.


I can also see the purple and black wires that I have going to my  
blower motor, and it does show that I am supposed to have a black 10ga  
wire going from the horn relay to a fuse holder, w/ a 12ga orange wire  
going from the fuse holder to a relay.


I'll pull the fender again tomorrow and see if power is getting to the  
motor. The fuse doesn't blow, so I guess that's a good sign.


From what you're saying, even if that hot lead off of the horn relay  
is not hooked up, the blower should still work on the lower speeds,  
right? Right now it is not hooked up.

John

Re: [Chevelle-list] electrical question (blower motor)

[John Nasta]

Thanks Rick,

That link didn't work for me. I have to stop because it's getting dark.

There is also an orange wire coming off the harness that has a little  
boot on it. I thought it was supposed to go to the blower motor but it  
seems like there's already a wire there (on the motor). There is a  
ground lug there and I hooked it up. The purple wire is also back in  
the connector where it's supposed to be, and should be making contact.


As of now the new heater core & blower motor are both in but the  
blower is not working. I replaced the fuse and tried it on all speeds,  
with and without the hot lead from the horn relay touching the other  
wire it's supposed to connect to. So far no luck. I put the fender on  
w/ just a couple of bolts because I'm assuming there's a good chance  
I'll be taking it off again tomorrow.


Still need to know what the orange wire from the harness is for and  
need to figure out why the blower is not working.

Re: [Chevelle-list] electrical question

[Rick Schaefer]

 John the wire coming directly from the horn relay, thru the fuse holder
& relay only controls the hi speed of the blower.   The lower 3 speeds go
thru the heater box resistor.  Also, if your heater box (where the fan
mounts) is fiberglass (like mine) you need the dedicated ground wire.  On
mine it goes from one of the motor mount screws to the body.   Without the
ground wire it won't work on any speed - ask me how I know that one.

This wiring diagram may help you :
http://elcaminocentral.com/articles/wiring/712.gif   It does not show the
A/C high speed wiring but the wiring thru the resistor is there.  You can
expand the image by running your cursor over the diagram & then clicking on
the orange icon that will appear in the lower right.   Gives you standard
wiring color codes for a 69.

Quoting Malibu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


John, I'll attempt to answer your wiring problem.
The fuse holder is hot from the horn relay,(should be red)
it takes a 30 amp fuse. The male end should be blk/or. this should be
connected to a 3 pronged plug for your a/c relay. The purple wire
should come off this 3 pronged plug and connect to the male plug on the
blower motor. The relay plug should also have a dark blue wire that
goes to another 3 prong plug for your resistor. The resistor is
connected to your switch in the car and it controls the speed of the
blower motor. They all have to be connected for the blower to work. You
can check your blower by running a wire from the bat to the male plug
and see if it runs. The motor has to be grounded so be sure you have a
ground from the screw that holds the motor in place to the body. Hope
this helps you out.

replace is the heater core. I'll see what it takes to get that purple  
wire back where it belongs and test the other one like you said.


BTW, in mine the long wire w/ the female fuse holder on it is black  
and the short one w/ the male end on it is orange.



Quoting Malibu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


John, I'll attempt to answer your wiring problem.
The fuse holder is hot from the horn relay,(should be red)
it takes a 30 amp fuse. The male end should be blk/or. this should be
connected to a 3 pronged plug for your a/c relay. The purple wire
should come off this 3 pronged plug and connect to the male plug on the
blower motor. The relay plug should also have a dark blue wire that
goes to another 3 prong plug for your resistor. The resistor is
connected to your switch in the car and it controls the speed of the
blower motor. They all have to be connected for the blower to work. You
can check your blower by running a wire from the bat to the male plug
and see if it runs. The motor has to be grounded so be sure you have a
ground from the screw that holds the motor in place to the body. Hope
this helps you out.

While I'm mucking around under the hood...

Normally there is a hot lead going from either the battery or the horn
relay or something w/ a female fuse holder on it, going to a male fuse
holder plugged into a relay on the heat/AC box inside the engine
compartment.

This has never been hooked up since I have had my '69, but what is it
supposed to do?

There is also a purple wire that goes from the far right side of the
heat/AC box to the area of this same relay on the left side of the
box, and that is just hanging there not hooked up.

The reason I ask is b/c if either of these wires have anything to do
w/ the blower motor I should get it/them hooked up again. If they are
something to do strictly w/ the A/C, mine doesn't work anyway. The
male fuse holder is missing for some reason, but the wire is there.
How many amps is the fuse in there supposed to be? The purple wire has
a female spade connector on it but at quick glance I did not see what
it's supposed to hook up to.

Thanks,
John Nasta
