Re: [Chevelle-list] Best primer - frame/ suspension parts2

[Dan McIntosh]

I've never heard of a powdercoat 
"primer"
 
I know of some places that zinc plate or galvanize 
before they apply the powdercoating though.
 
The biggest problems with powdercoating is poor 
prep work (cleaning, degreasing, etc..) and improper cure time/ 
temperature.
 
I powdercoat stuff all the time here at home and 
get better results than the stuff I took to the "pros".  Of course, my size 
capabilities are limited to what I can fit into the oven in my 
garage.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Best primer - frame/ suspension parts

[Dan McIntosh]

Epoxy Primer is your best bet on bare metal, 
whether its your frame, or your sheetmetal.  All bodywork should be done on 
top of the epoxy primer.
 
You can pick up a cheap gravity feed gun at Harbor 
Freight for about 15 bucks that will work great for spraying your frame and 
suspension.
 
Best of luck!

  With the rotisserie almost done, I'm within a week or two of

  well as removing, sanding/sandblasting all the suspension stuff as well. 
  My question is, what sort of primer should I use on these parts?  
  Because ofwhere I am doing this (outside, not in an enclosed area), I'd 
  prefer to usea rattle can, but if that's not going to yield good results, 
  I'll do what Ihave to do (and I have a compressor and an HVLP

Re: [Chevelle-list] Welding question

[Dan McIntosh]

Hi Karl,
 
The problem with the .035 flux core is the amount 
of heat required to turn it liquid is sometimes a bit hotter than is required to 
puddle the base material.  Thats why you get blow thru.  
 
Maybe see if a local welding supply store offers 
the flux core in an .025.  you'll need to change the contact tip but your 
existing liner should work fine.

  I'm using .035 flux core right now.  I also have 
  .025 and shielding gas, but probably won't use it because I don't 
  have  an enclosed space to weld in (and it can get kinda windy where 
  the car is).

I'll go in a direction nobody else has yet and 
ask, what size wire are you running?  I've had great success on thin 
gauge steel with .025 solid core wire and shielding gas.
 
You can also weld thin stuff with .035 but the 
technique is different.
 
Also, don't forget to tack weld, move, tack 
weld, move, etc...   giving the metal ample time to cool in order 
to minimize warpage.
 
Good luck and keep practicing!

Hi Jim.  Heres a link to my website page with 
pictures of the 65 Malibu I had a few years ago.  This car was my reason 
for finding and joining this list.  Although I've moved on to a completely 
different style of vehicles now, I have alot of good memories of fun times with 
this 65.  
 
I replaced just about every interior component in 
it while I had it.  Under the hood was an inline 6.  Not exactly a 
tire shredder, but with the fresh interior, the shiny paint, and the radio 
turned up a little on the loud side, it made weekend cruises with the wife very 
enjoyable.

  Last Friday when I was going home from work I had 2 crotch rockets pass 
  me.  They were doing around 70~75 MPH.  The front biker sat up, 
  looked around and popped a wheelie.  He held it up for at least 1/8 of a 
  mile.  No helmet, only jeans and a t-shirt, in heavy traffic.  
  Scared the heck out of me.  If he would have lost it he would have looked 
  like a deer hit by a trailer truck.  Sorry, I guess I am getting too

Hi Guys,  I'm still fighting the pre-oiler 
wars with my new crate 350.  Several 
Chevelle List members helped me determine that a screwdriver shaft 
can't work since it needs a bushing to oil the upper galleries and 
valvetrain.  So I bought a Proform 
"66896 Professional Oil Pump Primer with Bushing" at my local Speed 
Shop.
 
Today I cranked it for a couple of minutes but 
still don't see any oil coming from the pushrod/rocker area.  
Am I missing something?  It seems like it shouldn't be this 
difficult.  No, there is not a big pool of oil under the 
car.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Roller or ball bearings in a 12 bolt conversion

I dunno all the specificas about bearing

and last longer than ball bearings.  If you decide to go with ball bearing, 
get sealed units so they wont leak.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Front coil springs

[Dan McIntosh]

It's a much better option than heating the coils, 
but not as good as buying lowering springs.
If you do decide to do this, use a method other 
than flame cutting, such as abrasive wheel, cold saw, etc...
 
Just remember, don't cut off too much at once, a 3" 
cut on the spring, DOES NOT equate to 3 inches of 
drop.

  Happy Holidays to the Chevelle 
  list!!!
   
  For those of you in the shoplight gang, and other mechanics, wives of 
  mechanics, and otherwise foolhardy individuals with the moxy to tackle the 
  untamable beast in your garage! 
   
  TOOL DEFINITIONS: 
   
  DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat 
  metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and 
  flings your soda across the room, splattering it against that freshly 
  painted part you were drying. 
   
  WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under 
  the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and 
  hard-earned guitar calluses in about the time it takes you to say, "Ouch" 
  
   
  ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes 
  until you die of old age. 
   
  PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. 
   
  HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board 
  principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, 
  and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future 
  becomes. 
   
  VISE-GRIPS: Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, 
  they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your 
  hand. 
   
  OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable 
  objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the 
  wheel hub that you want the bearing out of. 
   
  WHITWORTH SOCKETS: Once used for working on older British cars and 
  motorcycles, they are now used mainly for impersonating that 9/16 or 1/2 
  socket you've been searching for the last 15 minutes. 
   
  HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after 
  you have installed your new disk brake pads, trapping the jack handle firmly 
  under the bumper. 
   
  EIGHT-FOOT LONG DOUGLAS FIR 2 X 4: Used for levering an automobile upward 
  off a hydraulic jack handle. 
   
  TWEEZERS: A tool for removing wood splinters. 
   
  PHONE: Tool for calling your neighbors to see if he has another hydraulic 
  floor jack. 
   
  SNAP-ON GASKET SCRAPER: Theoretically useful as a sandwich tool for 
  spreading mayonnaise; used mainly for getting dog crap or horse crap off your 
  boots. 
   
  E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any known 
  drill bit that snaps off in bolt holes you couldn't use anyway. 
   
  TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the tensile strength on 
  everything you forgot to disconnect. 
   
  CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 16-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A large pry bar that inexplicably 
  has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle. 
  
   
  AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw. 
   
  SHOP LIGHT: The home mechanic's own tanning booth. Sometimes called a 
  drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin," which is 
  not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, it's main 
  purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that 105-mm 
  howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle 
  of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading. 
  (also used to sear permanent scar onto back of hand as initiation ritual, 
  signifying membership into garage floor mechanic gang aka: the 'Shoplight 
  Boyz') 
   
  PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the lids of old-style 
  paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as 
  the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. 
   
  AIR COMPRESSOR: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning 
  power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels 
  by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty bolts last over 
  tightened 58 years ago by someone at ERCO, and neatly rounds off their heads. 
  
   
  PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or 
  bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50¢ part. 
   
  HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to cut hoses too short. 
   
  HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is 
  used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts not far from 
  the object we are trying to hit. 
   
  MECHANIC'S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of 
  cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on 
  contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector 
  magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts.

  Aint it the truth, Clint. Reagan once announced in a 
  speech that "inflation is tax". The media people didn't understand it so 
  they never attacked him for it. Lucky for Reagan, most media people can't 
  figure out whether they should lease their new Chevy or buy it. For that 
  matter, neither can anyone else because they don't teach the concept in 
  school...they're too busy teaching gay tolerance and Ebonics.
   
  Just for the record, my idea of "gun control" is 
  putting the second round through the same hole as the first.

Again, I hate to interject here but the Fed raises 
rates to check inflation because BUSINESS wants them to, not because 
government wants them to. 99.% of the people in the world do not know 
that inflation is TAX. It is not discussed by politicians and media 
because a) it is over the head of most media people and b) it is over the 
head of nearly all attorneys and our politicians are all attorneys. 

 
Inflation is the systematic devaluation of a 
currency. When you see the "national debt" number, what is not discussed is 
to whom that debt is owed. The fact is, the debt is owed almost entirely to 
American citizens (and their pension plans, IRAs and 401ks) in the form 
of US Treasury bills and notes and bonds (among which is the ubiquitous 
Savings Bond). Inflation benefits "net debtors", that is, people or 
countries or companies who owe more money in debt than is owed to them by 
others. The government is the biggest "net debtor" by a gigantic margin. 
Thus, inflation HELPS the government because it allows them to pay YOU back 
with dollars that have been "devalued"...that is, they are worth less than 
the dollars you loaned them when you bought the bond, T-bill, T-note, 
etc.
 
All you Vietnam era vets and citizens might remember 
that at the end of the Vietnam War the national debt was staggering. In 
fact, the US could not pay it off so the government, then under Richard 
Nixon, devalued the currency 25% in one day. And this was on top of 
inflation rates that ranged from 12% to 20% over the preceeding three or 
four years. Folks, this is "inflation" gone mad. Some of you might also 
remember stories about the inflation rate in Brazil being 100% per month and 
things like that. That, too, is just the government in power "devaluing" the 
currency. It happens all over the world, all the time.
 
If you really want to see true change in this 
country, demand that your schools teach people two things: The "time value 
of money" (also called "discounted cash flow" and how to figure it out) and 
the difference between "progressive" and "regressive" tax systems. If 
ordinary people understood these two things, every politician in office 
would be thrown out on his or her fat behind - Repulicans and Democrats 
alike. In fact, I'll go farther than that - if people understood the concept 
of regressive taxes alone every politician in office would be arrested and 
charged with sedition. The old saying "the rich get richer and the poor get 
poorer" exists not because rich people screw poor people but because the 
government screws poor people. They do this because they can - you see, the 
rich people "get it". They understand how the tax system works and how to 
circumvent the system. Poor people don't have the knowledge so they get 
screwed. It isn't a big conspiracy, it is your elected representatives 
creating a tax system that enables them to tax the people with the smallest 
voice - and that is you and me.
 
Finally, permit me to say that, I can teach 
ANYONE who graduated from high school these two ideas and the fact that our 
high schools do NOT teach these things is, IMHO, nearly criminal. I was 
taught these ideas in the first accounting class I

Thanks 
Rick. I have drums in front. My blower motor is not working right now. The 
orange wire does come from the bundle that crosses the firewall. On the top 
of my A/C box is a thing that looks sort of like a horn relay. That has a 
plastic connector with 2 wires going into it, one of which is orange, and it 
is not connected to anything. It is only a few inches long and has a lug on 
it as if it went into a plastic inline fuse holder at some point. If that is 
where I am supposed to hook up power to the blower, then my harness has the 
wrong connector.
 
I 
also have a purple wire that goes up toward that horn relay looking thing 
and is not connected to anything. It has a spade type connector on it. 
Wondering what that is too...

The tan wire 
for the brake (on my 72) plugs into the end of the proportioning 
valve.  Its hot because if the proportioning valve detects a fault with 
the brake hydraulics (unequal pressure) it grounds the 12 volts on that 
wire.  Then the brake warning light on your dash illuminates.  
Thats how the 72 is, I'd imagine that 69 is similar.  Although if 
you have drums up front you will have a distribution block instead of 
the prop valve. 
 
   
John does your  heater blower fan work?   The diagram I 
looked at also shows the orange wire going to the fan.  But you have 
A/C and I believe that the orange wire to the fan on A/C cars comes acrossed 
the top of the engine firewall, behind the distributor.

  One thing to note... if you go the powder coat way you have to give 
  them a bare housing... the bushings and insides will never take the 
  heat.  If it's already together... paint is the only way.  I have to 
  do the same to my rear... i plan to primer it and then paint it a gloss 
  black can get the paint from a local store... or eastwood.
   
  I like the idea about using the cherry picker  I was going to paint

Re: [Chevelle-list] More paint (off topic)

[Dan McIntosh]

Any place that sells 3M products will have it. 

 
You can pick up a multi speed polisher and the 
bonnets rather inexpensively at a Harbor Freight if there's one nearby.  
Use the foam pads soaked in water, they run much cooler than the wool ones, 
reducing your chance of burning through the clear. If you don't have a Harbor 
freight, Sears sells the stuff but at a higher price.
 
This is the kind of polisher you will want, not the 
other kind:
 
  http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=90820
 
Good luck!  Its not that hard to do even the 
first time, just be ready to dedicate a full day to polishing it, then washing 
it real well afterwards.  You'll also need to reapply the wax 
afterwards.

  identifying it.  It has a four bolt main crank installed and that's 
  it.  Unfortunately, anything she could lift or drag went to the 
  curb.  Things like jet coated headers, silver heads and alot of parts 
  that were in unopened boxes.  My guess is that they were the internal 
  parts.  She is not very knowledgeable in the garage area.  The

  Hi Dan
  I used FatMat from ebay, it was about 100 dollars

  It was pretty user friendly, just make sure to

  Also, the roller they supplied was pure garbage, I'd suggest finding a good

[Dan McIntosh]

Well guys, 
 
After school today, I removed the fuel pump from 
the motor, then took off the back plate so I could inspect the push 
rod.
 
Everything with the pushrod looked good, and I 
stuck it in the hole and had the wife crank the motor while I pushed on it with 
my finger.  It moved back and forth following the cam lobe, about 1/2 of an 
inch.  Does this seem correct?
 
While I was at it, I blew air through the "tank to 
pump" line, until I heard air bubbling in the gas tank. So I'm assuming that 
line is free of obstructions.
 
Looking back, it used to take only 3 or 4 pumps of 
the pedal to get the car started, lately it has been taking 40-50 pumps, after 
sitting for a few days, that is.
 
Also, nobody around here seems to stock the pump 
that I need, in fact, the young kid at Auto Zone pulled it up on his computer 
and then brought out an electric inline pump.  When I pointed to the box, 
and told him mine looked like the mechanical pump pictured, he said, "let me ask 
this guy" referring to a co-worker, who's response was, "I think that's an EGR 
valve"
 
So I'm going to NAPA tomorrow in hopes of them 
having one, if they don't, I'll be on my way to Summit Racing for the Holley 
pump.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Dynamat or what?

[Dan McIntosh]

Hi Dan
I used FatMat from ebay, it was about 100 dollars 
for 100 square feet. It really cut down on road noise.
It was pretty user friendly, just make sure to wipe 
the surfaces down with acetone or something similar before applying it. Also, 
the roller they supplied was pure garbage, I'd suggest finding a good wood 
roller somewhere.
I really cut down on road noise.
Here's a pic of the FatMat installed in my old 64 
Impala.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or 
carb?

Hi all, today I was out driving the 63, and it 
started feeling like it had no power, bogging out and stuff, until it 
finally died on the side of the road.
I had the wife bring me starting fluid, at 
which point it ran until the fluid dissipated. I took the line off the carb, 
removed the filter from the carb, and cranked the motor, no fuel shot out. 

So I sent her to get some gas, and dumped 5 
gallons into the car (dunno the status of the gauge, it was reading half, 
and it seemed to work before)
Shot it with the starting fluid, and it cranked 
right over.
I drove it for about 2 minutes, then it did it 
again.  Got out, sprayed the fluid, and started it up, I'd go to rev it 
up, it would die.
Finally, it started back up, and ran the 35 
seconds it took to get to my driveway.  
Also, there's a strange "knocking" noise from 
the motor that wasn't there before, not as loud as a rod knock, but not as 
quiet as a lifter tick.  I don't know if this is coincidental or 
not.
Any ideas? 
 
Thank you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb?

[Dan McIntosh]

The knocking noise was going on when I started it 
up today, before the stalling problem, almost sounds like it's from the 
carb.
Remember, the front of my car bounces 30-40 inches 
in the air, so strange thing could happen.
Now that I think about it, I was hopping it hard 
last time I drove it, and when I restarted it, it sounded funny, but I 
disregarded it thinking maybe I cracked an exhaust manifold or something, never 
checked it out though.
I only had to drive it a few seconds to get it home 
after the hopping last time.
I have no clue what I screwed up this 
time.

  Hi Dan, sounds like you've got a fuel pump 
  that's N.G. The knocking noise is could be fromtoo much starting fluid. 
  That stuff can ruin an engine. I hope, for your sake, that is not the case 
  here.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Recall

[Dan McIntosh]

if it's a safety recall ( Im assuming seat belts 
fall under this category), they have to honor it.
You can call and give them the VIN, and they'll 
know if it has had the recall work done or not.
If you're the original owner, then you'd already 
know this though.

[Chevelle-list] 1970 El Camino Seats

[Dan McIntosh]

I have a friend who is looking to replace the 
aftermarker "racing" seats in his 1970 Elky with a pair of the stock style 
seats.
If anyone has a pair in decent shape, please let me 
know a price, including shipping to Cleveland Ohio.
The color and the condition of the skins is not 
important, as they can be reupholstered if necessary, basically just looking for 
a good starting point, with the bracketry and whatnot.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Dan McIntosh

[Dan McIntosh]

ya, the "certain crowd" thing gets mentioned 
as well.
it's funny, because real lowriders 
aren't  the troublemakers that the media portrays, you're more likely 
to see them guys in the mini truck/ import section.  hell, most of us work 
full time jobs to support our habit, just like rodders, plus, we build 
rides that are cleaner than the majority of hot rods, they just 
happen go up and down and stand on 3 wheels as well..
 
take my old 64 impala as an example, you'd 
be hard pressed to find a cleaner ride at shows.  but it was built 
"lowrider style", so it got no respect at rod shows.. which is fine.  I 
build what I like.
 
oh well, a closed mind only hurts the person 
who has it... 
 
which is just a general statement, and not 
necessarily directed at you Tim.

  Well the whole lowrider thing is 
  not my cup of tea personally. I just really dont care for the small rims and 
  this and that. I dont like hydraulics, but I do like airbags. My 66 Chevelle 
  is airbagged. I guess its kind of done hot rod style or whatever because mine 
  are real slow. I just come into a show and slam it, then up for driving. No 
  hopping going down the street haha. That's cool that youre into that, but just 
  not my thing. Plus it seems there is a certain crowd around those kind of cars 
  that I dont care for. But anyways, Catch yah 
later.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Dan McIntosh

[Dan McIntosh]

Hey Tim, whats up!
 
Anyway, as far as the crossmember 
smacking... well, it does sometimes.  If the person isn't very good at 
timing the switch, the car will smack the ground.  A person with good 
timing will hit it up while the car is about 1/2 way through the down travel, 
which will prevent the springs from ever compressing far enough to allow the 
frame to have any contact with the ground.
 
Most lowriders don't even hop their 
cars.  Myself, I cant help it.  I can pull my tires in the air about 
24 inches on a good day.  Once I swap out my stock frame for my fully 
reinforced frame, I'll add bigger springs and more batteries, and should be 
hitting in the mid 40's.
 
Craziness, huh?  I get allot of hate 
from the hot rod shows around here.  I always here, "you ruined that 
car"
 
like the guy with the 18 point roll cage 
welded into his camaro, or the dude with the chopped top 50 merc, didn't ruin 
their cars, if that's how you look at it, lol.
 
oh well, hey if you want to know anything 
else about lowriders, hydraulics, or air suspension, just ask.

If it's a true kandy paint job, you'll never match it.
If it's a solid color, take it to a local paint supply store, and they can 
use their machine to match the color.

  Just checking out eBay for stuff I need for my 69

  will even ''age'' it for you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4553646239&category=10076 
  
   
   I am curious, how many of you would 
  consider building a clone and what is your age? I ask age because it seems 
  like younger guys who build clones see nothing wrong with it. Personally I 
  think it takes away from original cars, I mean you go to a show to see rare 
  stuff and it takes the fun out of it. I would much rather look at a dozen 
  Malibus and one SS versus a dozen fakes. I would bet there are more 
  ''SS'' cars on the road now then there ever were built 
  originally!!

[Chevelle-list] sbc running rough

[Dan McIntosh]

Hi all, 
i have a 283 in my 63 Impala, and I'm having some 
issues getting it to run correctly.
the main problem is, in park or neutral, it runs 
fine, with good to slightly high engine RPM's.  But In drive, when I come 
to a stop, it wants to bog down and die due to the RPM's dropping super 
low.  As long as I'm driving it, it runs very good, although with some 
hesitation ands stumble when I gas it.
The motor is basically stock, with a 2bbl carb, and 
an Accell HEI distributor.  The Accel has an adjustable vacuum advance 
unit.  I've tried to adjust it a turn at a time and drive it to see if 
there are any improvements, and there doesn't seem to be.
Any ideas on what I can check next?
 
Thank you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Need help decoding SBC block numbers

CGC is a 1971 350 2bbl from either an El Camino, or 
a Full Size.  As coincidence may have it, thats also the suffix code that 
was on the motor in my blue 64 Impala.
 
V10219CGC
 
The V stands for the Flint Michigan engine plant. there should be only 4 
numbers between the V and the C, and those are 
the month and day the motor was built.
 
The first 8 digits, I have no idea.

that I should be able to lower the car,without air,to within 1 1/2" to 2"
from the ground to the crossmember. That'll work.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Air Ride installation

[Dan McIntosh]

Hi Fellas,
I installed air suspension on my old 64 
Impala.  While it was faster acting than what you'd use for a lowrod style 
setup, the idea is the same.  Basically, all 4 coil springs are replaced 
with air bellows bags.
On my 64, the ride quality was amazing.  
Even with the front shocks and sway bar removed, the handling was better than 
stock.  
The biggest thing to worry about is keeping the 
tank clean of water.  Make sure to drain it every month minimum.  
Otherwise, you could get rust in the tank, either causing particles to make 
their way into the valves, or, at worst, cause the tank to rupture.
You want to make sure that the air lines are 
well protected and routed well away from heat sources. 
Nothing makes you need new undies quite like a 
corner of the car dropping whilst doing 75 on the highway.
Oh ya, it is advisable to get a system that has 
independent wheel control, instead of one that ties the front wheels together, 
and the back wheels together.  With them tied together, you will get alot 
of weight transfer when cornering, which is VERY undesirable, lol.
If you guys have any questions on air 
suspension, please feel free to ask me, I've had a ton on experience with it on 
the 250PSI 12 gallon 1/2" valves and lines engine driven compressor and a 
nitrogen tank that raises the car in a split second scale, so I've had my 
share of troubleshooting and re-engineering.
alrighty

  Sure,be glad to,Tom. As for the air tank & 
  compressor,they are mounted underneath the car. Behind the fuel tank is a flat 
  crossmember or bulkhead. Between that and the rear bumper is an area that 
  measures approximately 24" x 28". I went with a five gallon air tank and it 
  fits in that space with plenty of room.

[Chevelle-list] hood ornament question

[Dan McIntosh]

I have posted a picture of the hood ornament on my 
recently purchased 1963 Impala.  Does anyone have any idea what this hood 
ornament is?  Looks like a J.C. Whitney special to me, lol.

  Dear Cindy:
  if you don't like the topic don't read it. Yes this is a Chevelle list 
  but many of us are car nuts  and like more than Chevys. I'm not 
  interested if you want those seats so why don't you email him directly.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Splice or Solder

[Dan McIntosh]

I'd like to suggest the use of a heat shrink tube 
wherever possible, in lieu of the electrical tape.

  Mike, is right on in describing the correct way 
  to do a wire solder joint.All you need is a small film of solder to fill 
  the voids in the wireconnection.Resistance is determined by what 
  the electricity needs to flow throughwhether it be the wire itself and 
  each connection.  The longer the wire runand more connections the 
  greater the resistance no matter what the wiresize.   I 
  personally will solder any joint that is assessable willing totake more 
  apart to make it easier to solder.  It will prevent the potentialfor 
  a loose connections and looks more professional in my honest opinion.And 
  like Mike said always tape a solder connection to prevent moisture anda 
  bare connection.Krister MeisterBloomingdale, IL'66 SS

  The biggest problem with soldering is the person holding 
  the iron/gunwhateverUSUALLY. Most folks just have no experience in 
  soldering. Your commentabouta solder joint needing to have mechanical 
  integrity is absolutely correct.It is thefirst step to a good joint. 
  The next step is to get proper heating ofboth/all elementsto be 
  soldered and then apply the solder to the joint. It is not correct toapply 
  thesoldering tool to the solder to get it to melt. It is correct to apply 
  thesolder to thehot joint and have it melt evenly over the 
  joint.Also electrical soldering has no resemblance to body soldering or 
  Acid Coretype soldering.Once a joint is properly executed it should 
  still be covered in a means toprotect itfrom the elements that can and 
  will cause oxidation.Crimp joints are just like solder joints. Using 
  the right tools andtechniques is the key tohaving good crimp joints. 
  And as with a solder joint it also requiresattention after thefact to 
  protect it from the elements.You can go either way as long as the 
  joint is properly done be it solder orcrimp. I useboth ways but 
  generally lean towards soldering. However in a vehicle Iusually lean 
  towardscrimp and other compression joints. It's just easier than soldering 
  aconnection under a dashand having molten solder drip on your 
  nose.Yeah, I know I am gonna get hammered on this one because everyone 
  has anopinion thathas to be one way or the other.Hey!
