[Chevelle-list] Column shift steering coulmn problems
Hi all.. I'm having some trouble with the column on my 62 Impala.. The shifter feels very very "loose"... like the detents are almost not there or something.. When it is all the way up, which should be park, it is actually in reverse, makes it fun when pumping the gas and starting the car, lol.. All the way down, which should be low, is actually drive. Looking for any info on this problem. Should I be looking at column problems,could it be the linkage, or the trans itself. Thanks all!

You assemble the Megasquirt in a circuit-by-circuit basis. At the end of each section, there is a test procedure so that you know your work up until that point is correct. It's all covered in detail in the manual. Also, there is a seperate board called the Stimulator that can be plugged into a completedMegaSquirt. The Stimulator basically mimics the signals the various the sensors put out. If you buy a MegaSquirt, spend the few extra bucks for a Stimulator. You're considering one those LT1 intakes, eh? I know there are folks who've done it successfully, but I guess I'd just like to see one in person. The upside is that LT1 setups are *cheap*. I'm not exactly sure why, but I saw several at Carlisle and on ebay for under 200, complete. I wasn't ready to try something like that for my first EFI project.

[Chevelle-list] my flywheel is missing some teeth
Howdy! My new ride wont start. Thinking it was a starter malfunction, I removed it from the car. When I glanced up at the flywheel, I noticed that 6 teeth were virtually non-existent. It seems like if I spin the motor a little bit, the flywheel will move and the starter will engage on good teeth. But my question is, if it doesn't start on the first revolution, and it hits this spot again, will it blow right by the bad spot due to momentum, or will it stop spinning the motor again. I want to drive this damn car already, but something is keeping me from doing so! Also, if it does start, and I park somewhere, and the flywheel just so happens to stop in the bad spot again, is there a quick remedy, such as leaving the car in drive and pushing on it or something?

Not very easy to do unless you happento have a breaker bar socket for the crank bolt. You really needto get it fixed. A flexplate for an auto tranny is cheap.

If you had a manual, it would be easy to roll the car in gear and spin the engine a bit. With an auto, I'm not sure you can do much to move the engine once it is off. You could carry a long handled wrench with a socket for the crank snout (assuming your engine is newer and has the bolt) bolt so you can turn it when you need to... Either way, you need a new flywheel big time. It may only be a few teeth, but the whole balance of the engine will be off. The flywheel is bolted to your crank, and now there is a slight imbalance of the flywheel. Drive for a while at the right resonant RPM and you could cause nasty damage. I expect actual chances of breaking your crank are close to zero, but I would want to get a new flywheel as soon as possible. When you replace the flywheel, see if you can guess why this happened. Did you engage the starter while the car was running, or is the starter misadjusted? You don't want to have this happen to your replacement!

I found the local dealer had the brackets in stockand I got them for a discount since they had been on the shelf for awhile. Picked up the crank pulley and power steering pulley as well. Hadto go with an aftermarket water pump pulley to get a grooved one. Seebelow on why.These mounting brackets do NOT look near as pretty as the aftermarketaluminum systems. However, it did two other things for me that I wantedas well:#1, It allowed me to put my alternator on the driver's side to mount theA/C compressor on the passenger side and shorten the lines and neaten upthe look of A/C compressor mounting.#2 I had read that when you turn a water pump backwards that you loseabout 20% cooling efficiency. Having a big block with A/C and knowing Iwould be in long lines on hot days cooling was priority #1 !!! But..I still wanted to go serpentine. OK, I'm hard headed...here's wherethe Scandinavian part comes in ;)The steel brackets allowed me to weld on a mount to put on an idlerwheel on the driver's side of the water pump pulley. This allowed me todouble back the belt, after going over the crank pulley and water pumppulley, to go to the A/C compressor.I have a link to a picture of the system as I was putting it together.It gives the best view of the pulley and water pump.

[Chevelle-list] front running light conversion
Hi all, On my 64 Impala, when I turn on the main headlights, the running lights turn off. Exactly the same as when I had my 65 Malibu.

Dan McIntoshStreet Metal FabricationsPavement Scraping 1964 Impala S.S.http://www.lowriderimpala.com - Original Message - From: rocky hill To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 7:27 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] front running light conversion* Dan,Here is a reply from a post on Team Chevelle in 1999from someone who did the same thing.Starting in 1968, when side-marker lights wereintroduced, the parking lights remained on when theheadlights were switched on. Prior to that model year,the parking lights switched off when the headlightswere switched on. I believe this pertains to all GMvehicles.I own a 67 SS396 Chevelle, and found an easy way tochange this without adding anything or cutting anywiring (and its completely reversible). The hardestpart, especially on a 66-67 Chevelle (with A/C yet),is removing the light switch from the dash.Play it safe, and disconnect the battery first. Thendisconnect the light switch from the dash, and drop itdown below the edge of the dash. Before you unplug thewiring harness from the switch, look at the positionof the purple wire in the connector. It will be in aslot which is at the end of the switch, farthest fromthe dash. Look for an open slot in the conector whichis at the other end of the connector, towards thedash. Remove the connector from the light switch, andthen release the terminal of the purple wire from theconnector using a small screwdriver (you do this fromthe light switch side of the connector). Insert theterminal of the purple wire into the open slot of theconnector which you identified earlier (the one closerto the dash). Then just reconnect the wiring harnessto the light switch, and reinstall the light switchinto the dash, and reconnect the battery. Now theparking lights will function as before in the halfwayposition, but remain on when the headlights areswitched on.I did this two years ago on my Chevelle and on a 65Impala, and haven't had any problems from it. I don'tremember if there are any numbers on the slots in theconnector, or if there was more than one open slot.Rocky=A Man And His Chevelle,It's A Beautiful Thing!!Mid America Chevelle Club #220Team Chevelle #1530MY66SS http://www.geocities.com/rocks66ss__Do you Yahoo!?Yahoo!

Many chrome parts on a motor can and will leak after a period of time or even upon installation if not install properly for example over torquing the bolts and crushing the gasket. Chrome water pumps are a little different as they start life as a standard cast water pump as would have originally come from the factory. Many other chrome parts such a s timing covers and valve covers use very cheap and thin metal as the base for there chrome product which makes them prone to oil problems. Ken

[Chevelle-list] temperature sensor..
Howdy.. I'm putting an electric fan on my car this year, and bought a temp. sensor to control the on/off cycle of the fan. The switch is supposed to be installed in one of the heads.. Wouldn't it be better to install the sensor in the radiator? after all, the fan is blowing on the radiator, not the engine.. The switch is set at 192° on/ 182° off. I have a 180° thermostat. Any input is appreciated. Thanks. Dan McIntoshPavement Scraping 1964 Impala SShttp://www.lowriderimpala.com

Re: [Chevelle-list] timing chain
thanks for the help guys. I ended up pulling it with a small 3 jaw puller. Put some pre-lube on the crank snout and slid the new one on with the help of a rubber hammer.

For a stock motor, set the lower gear on 0. +2 advances the timing by 2 degrees increasing horsepower, -2 retards it increasing the torque. Even on my high horsepower 454, I have it set at 0. You don't need to worry about degreeing in the cam on a stock replacement chain, just make sure you line up the dots on the 2 sprocketsand bolt it up. Tom
