[Chevelle-list] "Barn fresh" '67s
Some months ago I posted about a pair of '67s that had been pulled from a rural Wisconsin barn that I've driven past almost every day on my way to work for over 18 years. A few people asked for photos and 1 day last month I finally remembered to take a camera with me: http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb109/Brad_Olson/General/394492-R1-025-11_012.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb109/Brad_Olson/General/394492-R1-027-12_013.jpg They don't have "For Sale" signs so I don't know what the story is. The barn that they were in looks like it might collapse any day now, so maybe they were simply pulled out so they wouldn't be crushed. Brad
Re: [Chevelle-list] help needed with replacement HEI coil
There was a ground strap on the coil that had a small round clip on it, and yep I actually put it under one of the mounting bolt heads. That's how the prior one was when I removed it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] help needed with replacement HEI coil
when you changed the coil did you make sure the ground strap was left in. - Original Message - From: "J. Brady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Chevelle Mailing List" Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 3:46 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] help needed with replacement HEI coil Thanks guys- I got the right part but believe it or not, it wasn't the coil... the ignition wire in the harness had made its way down by the header and melted.. I swapped the coil anyway regardless, because knowing its age and NOT knowing its origin, I'm sure it was one of the next items on the upgrade list!

I've used Delco and other manufacturer caps, and I never even thought about fit. I just bought the HEI cap. If the car is pretty much stock, the GM coil is fine. You don't need to pay more for a hotter spark if your old spark was good enough. Brad Waller [EMAIL PROTECTED] On May 26, 2008, at 6:48 PM, J.
