Re: [Chevelle-list] Balancer question
If that is a 65 block and crank you have a small journal. Call first you may be limited to a GM balancer.

[Chevelle-list] brake conversion
I converted from drum to disk up front with a kit from ground up (THE RIGHT STUFF product) and I cant get the original rear drums to bleed . is there something with the distrabution block that I was supposed to do ? I followed the directins as I understood them.I will call them tomorrow but am anxious, Jimmy.C
[Chevelle-list] Lead additive?
I'm sure most of you don't need it. But for those of you who do, where are you getting it from? Is there a place we can order a case or something? I have a 66 396 that was rebuilt, but the builder left the heads alone and said that the seats were in good so to remove them would cause more problems. So until I can get the heads done again, I need to add lead additive to my fuel and need to get some. Thanks for any help. Dan Rachlin
Re: [Chevelle-list] brake conversion
Did you bench bleed the master cylinder first? Does your proportioning valve have a button on the front? If so depress that first.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Lead additive?
You really don't need to put a lead additive in the gas because the heads have the original valve seats. The seats themselves will harden over time just from being an in service car. I just run plain old unleaded 87 Octane in my 69 with the original engine in it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brake conversion
Does the prop valve look like this one: http://www.inlinetube.com/images/Prop%20Valves/pr106.jpg that is the button on the left. My GM service manual (for 72) says that button needs to be pushed in when bleeding rear brakes. They have an explaination, but honestly its been so long that I can't remember the details. Something to do with the auto shut off of fluid (safety feature) if you get a leak at either the front or rear I think.

Re: [Chevelle-list] life time
Yes I do belong. Have not become lifetime yet, but if I do, they will refund all previous dues paid. I have had my gas reimbursed a couple of times, (Has paid for membership) and had a couple of test products. One was a 'Rain x' type thing and other was a caulk gun thing. Both pretty cheap things. Never got more gas coupons after emailng twice and have yet to receive a third test product. Was good for a while then stopped? The mag is pretty good though.
