Re: [Chevelle-list] sludge in motor
Kyle, I would recomend Gunk 5 minute flush. Pour it in with the old oil and let it idle for 5 minutes. Then, change the oil. I would not do much more then this to clean the sludge out because you may encounter other problems. It is a fact that the sludge is indeed stoping gaskets from leaking. By cleaning and flushing the motor to much you will start seeing oil leaks that you did not have before. Ken

Re: [Chevelle-list] '66 heater switches
Jim, As I recall the knobs do pull off. I don't believe there is any set screw. If they won't pull off easy. Try using a rag around it and grab the back side with pliers. Ken
Re: [Chevelle-list] desktop DYNO - me too Brad! Merry X-Mas from DPeppin
Bob, Santa was great to me. I built myself a new computer. Made using an MSI motherboard and AMD Athlon XP 3.0. Stuck in a DVD burner and a 250 gig hard drive supported by 3 gig of RAM. So I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did to Bob. Ken

Re: [Chevelle-list] LS6 Chevelle info
Merry Christmas guys !There is a "LS6 Chevelle" listed on ebay thats for sale in Florida. My memory is fading, but didn't GM sell LS6's without any power options (other that the manditory disc brakes) such as air and power steering? Or were there LS6's that came with air. I thought that the air option was only availible on LS5's and down.Curious minds (or is that a fading mind) are wondering. ThanksBill CHello all, To my knowledge, LS6 Chevelle's never came with AC however power disc brakes did come with them. Power Steering wasa an option but few had it. My 70 Chevelle is a factory SS LS6 car with Power Disc Brakes and an AM radio, no PS, no AC. At the speed it can make who needs AC anyway. LOL Ken 70 Chevelle SS LS6

Re: [Chevelle-list] starter wiring
Hi all, In regard to Ignition Switches and key switches. The ignition switch is the electrical part and what some people call the key switch would actually be the key tumbler which is known as the ignition tumbler and keys. Just wanted to let you know so you don't order the wrong part at a store. Ken

Re: [Chevelle-list] the waiting... POWER RESTORED!
Donnie, It is a 5,000 watt generator. I have a 240 volt 50 amp outlet in my garage for my air compressor. I turn off the main feed and all breakers at the electric box so that there is no chance of power coming to the house from the power company. Then you plug a male to male cord from the 240 outlet of the generator to the 240 outlet in the garage. Then you start the generator, go to your electric box and start turning on the breakers that you want to use. I don't turn all of the breakers on but the ones that I want to use the most. I turn on the water pump, refrigerator, range, bathrooms, Big TV Screen (LOL) , computer and lights throughout the house. At some point the generator will start to strain. You will know it is when the motor starts to bog down. If this happens you have to much on in the house and adjust what is on accordingly. If you would like to know more feel free to email me. Ken
Re: [Chevelle-list] the waiting... POWER RESTORED!
JIm, I lost power Thursday night around 9 and did not get it back till Saturday night arounf 6 PM. I took the Generator out of the race car trailer and hook it up to my main box and powered the whole house. Let me know if you want to get a generator. I can hook you up. Ken
Re: [Chevelle-list] Plugs for Big Block?
Diane; If you are useing can be a good thing. What else are you running for Ignition. IE HEI, MSD unit, MSD distriutor. These are all a factor in what to gap your plugs at. Ken
Re: [Chevelle-list] Plugs for Big Block?
Diane, Yes, you are correct in what you say about spark plugs. It is not the motor size that dictates the plug that you should use but the heads that you are using. For instance, between a World Products (Dart) head and a Brodix or factory head, they can all use different plugs. It is indeed the depth of the threads in the head that dictate what plug reach you should use. Ken
