[Chevelle-list] Off Topic - Tea Bags

[Daniel Solomon]

Sorry if this off topic post bothers anyone. I normally only post stuff about 
Chevelles, just a little frustrated at the way Congress has been spending my 
hard earned money.

Thought this sounded like a good idea.

 IF THIS IS NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA, DELETE IT, IF IT IS COMPLY! 


There's a storm abrewin'.  What happens when good, responsible people keep 
quiet?  Washington has forgotten they work for us.  We don't work for them.  
Throwing good money after bad is NOT the answer.  I am sick of the midnight, 
closed door sessions to come up with a plan.  I am sick of Congress raking 
CEO's over the coals while they, themselves, have defaulted on their taxes.  I 
am sick of the bailed out companies having lavish vacations and retreats on my 
dollar.  I am sick of being told it is MY responsibility to rescue people that, 
knowingly, bought more house than they could afford.  I am sick of being made 
to feel it is my patriotic duty to pay MORE taxes.  I, like all of you, am a 
responsible citizen.  I pay my taxes.  I live on a budget and I don't ask 
someone else to carry the burden for poor decisions I may make.  I have emailed 
my congressmen and senators asking them to NOT vote for the stimulus package as 
it was written without reading it first.  No one listened.  They voted for it, 
pork and all. 

O.K. folks, here it is.  You may think you are just one voice and what you 
think won't make a difference.  Well, yes it will and YES, WE CAN!!   If you 
are disgusted and angry with the way Washington is handling our taxes.  If you 
are fearful of the fallout from the wreckless spending of BILLIONS to bailout 
and "stimulate" without accountability and responsibility then we need to 
become ONE, LOUD VOICE THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM EVERY CITY, TOWN, SUBURB AND HOME 
IN AMERICA.   There is a growing protest to demand that Congress, the President 
and his cabinet LISTEN to us, the American Citizens.  What is being done in 
Washington is NOT the way to handle the economic free fall.


So, here's the plan.  On April 1, 2009, all Ameicans are asked to send a TEABAG 
to Washinton , D.C.   You do not have to enclose a note or any other 
information unless you so desire.  Just a TEABAG.   Many cities are organizing 
protests.  If you simply search, "New American Tea Party", several sites will 
come up.  If you aren't the 'protester' type, simply make your one voice heard 
with a TEABAG.  Your one voice will become a roar when joined with millions of 
others that feel the same way.  Yes, something needs to be done but the lack of 
confidence as shown by the steady decline in the stock market speaks volumes.

This was not my idea.  I visited the sites of the 'New American Tea Pary' and 
an online survey showed over 90% of thousands said they would send the teabag 
on April 1.  Why, April 1??  We want them to reach Washington by April 15.   
Will you do it?  I will.   Send it to;1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 
Washington , D.C. 20500 ... 

Forward this to everyone in your address book.  Visit the website below for 
more information about the 'New American Tea Party'.  I would encourage 
everyone to go ahead and get the envelope ready to mail, then just drop it in 
the mail April 1.  Can't guarantee what the postage will be by then, it is 
going up as we speak, but have your envelope ready.  What will this cost you?  
A little time and a 42 or 44 cent stamp.

What could you receive in benefits?  Maybe, just maybe, our elected officials 
will start to listen to the people.  Take out the Pork.  Tell us how the money 
is being spent.  We want TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.  Remember, the money 
will be spent over the next 4-5 years.  It is not too late.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Sail Panels

[Daniel Solomon]

Bob,
 
I didn't cover my sail panels, I bought them pre-covered. But I can offer you 
some advice based on my experience with adhesives. Some of this has already 
been said.
You are going to want to use contact adhesive. The best bond would be with a 
liquid contact brushed on both surfaces. Porous material like fabric and board 
require two coats. Apply the first and allow it to dry. Apply the second and 
allow it to become tacky (does not stick to a clean finger) then press them 
together. Acid brushes work great for small areas. If you have done it right, 
you wont be able to pull it back off. Properly dried contact wont stick to 
anything but other contact coated surfaces.
This will only be good for the back side as it will soak through the fabric.
 
If you are concerned about the front side, I would recommend a 3M spray 
contact. Leave the fabric oversized. I would apply a coat to the board, a very 
light coat to the fabric and then a second coat on the board. Again wait till 
it becomes tacky (does not stick to a clean finger) and assemble. You might 
want a second set of hands because when it touches its stuck. Then you could 
start trimming, cutting darts, wrapping around the edges, etc. Unfortunatly the 
spray stuff is not going to work as well on the back side so the best results 
would be had by buying both the liquid and the spray.
 
I have a quart of the liquid if its worth the road trip. Also have extra fabric 
if it doesn't turn out as you expected the first time.

I had some left over from the restoration that I performed on my Chevelle - 
they were original and looked a little used. I cleaned them up as well as I 
could but they just didn't look right so I got new material and tried to glue 
that on usung the 77 spray adhesive. I had to cut the darts as well to get it 
to form smoothly around the edges, etc. After one summer - they started to 
bubble a little, I ordered pre-done ones and those are in now - they are 
starting to bubble as well. I'll have to try something new. I think I'll have 
them recovered by a professional interior/trim business - maybe a thicker 
backer board will work.

There are no nuts where the front sway bar bolts up, just holes drilled in the 
frame and threaded. Very weak and a common place to be stripped out because the 
metal is so thin.

Re: [Chevelle-list] HELP..Rust front and rear window channels...

[Daniel Solomon]

POR-15 literature gives you the impression you can just remove loose rust and 
brush. I disagree and would expect that rust would eventually come back. The 
stuff is a cyanoacrylate coating that creates a seal to block moisture. My 
recomendation is always to remove as much rust as possible. I used it to 
prevent the light surface rust or rust in the bottom of pits from ever coming 
back as well as taking advantage of its durability and chip prevention. Kind of 
a security measure. I did my frame about 5 years back and it still looks great.
I top coated it more for appearance than UV protection as I mentioned on my 
website.Thanks, Dan "It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize

Not sure what you mean by window channels but POR-15 is not for use on metal 
you plan to paint. Even when coating frame and suspension components, it is 
best to remove as much rust as possible. Its definitely not a cure all for 
rust. The best thing is to remove rust.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Some feedback on the 70 seats and the tank

[Daniel Solomon]

Charlie,
 
The floor pan is the same whether or not you decide to go with a bench or 
console and buckets. I would try to find someone close by to get the floor pans 
to save on freight and damage. The best way to get the big stuff is at a show 
but it's the wrong time of year for that. There is a parts dealer in New Jersey 
that was listed on www.chevelles.com called Classic Auto Parts & Accessories 
732-787-9599. I don't have any experience with them but if they are close and 
carry sheet metal, it may be worth a call. All the sheet metal is about the 
same no matter who you buy from.
 
I dressed my Chevelle as an SS without C.I. badges and put in a 350 because I 
had it. Once I got it on the road, it was nice to drive but it really needed 
the big block. I am s happy now! Engine, paint color and choice on stripes 
is all personal preference. Personally I am a purist and like the GM colors.
 
I would blast the frame yourself. I picked up a sand blaster from Harbor 
Freight that worked great. If you choose this route, make sure you wear a 
respirator. Powder Coating is the most durable finish you can put on a frame 
but that's a job that you have to pay for. Paint will be Ok but susceptible to 
stone chips and rust. Might want to consider POR-15 as well. Requires a less 
critical removal of the rust (bonds better to light rust) and is very durable. 
Can tell you more about the stuff if you are interested.
 
I packed up the stuff and will mail it out on Monday. Hope it helps.Thanks, Dan

Jim, They are worth more than that. Big items don't sell well on Ebay because

Haha, we must think alike, as I did list them on Craigslist last night.
 
No nibbles on the 68's yet, but I did sell my 69 front bumper (which was not an 
original and did have a couple of small rust spots on it) for $25 last night.
 
SO hopefully the 68s will each be worth at least $25 each too.

Tip from your Uncle Rich; make a spare set for every vehicle you own and keep

Re: [Chevelle-list] more sad news, sorry

[Daniel Solomon]

Many years ago I lost a good friend to cancer. As hard as it was I made it thru 
the steps of his passing. He taught me a lot about cars and helped me build the 
motor that was originally in the Chevelle I have now. Although he is gone, many 
times I go out to turn a wrench or tinker with Chevelle and think fondly of him.
 
May God give you the strength you need, may he stand beside the family as they 
struggle through this and may you also have some of those same fond memories as

Sorry to bring more news to this group but I have lost a dear friend this week. 
 His name was Louis William, 56, from Freeburg, IL and I was introduced to him 
33 years ago when I needed help adjusting my clutch.  He was an outstanding 
mechanic and Chevelle enthusiast.  He was the best mentor I ever ran into! We 
went into partnership with a 1967 SS Chevelle, slowly converting it into an off 
road drag car.  I was brought up to speed on carbs, ignition, rearends, 
enginesthe whole line!  We raced for 10 years, finally sold the car after 
much success on the strip.
 
He was also a sought after mechanic to the end, giving each customer more 
satisfaction than he charged for.  People brought their cars from out of state, 
he was so dependable.  I slept better knowing he worked on my elderly parents 
vehicles and didn't overlook a thing!
 
Like I said, Louis loved Chevelles and helped me uncountable times during my 10 
year restoration.  We both love motorcycle riding, but his death happened when 
a drunk driver turned in front of his 2007 Suzuki  bike Tuesday causing a 
collision.  The chickensh*t driver took off but word is they caught him.  I 
will miss Louis dearly, as will his wife and 2 young sons.  I hope I have 
strength to go to his funeral.
 
 
Sorry for more bad personal news.

[Chevelle-list] Big Block Steering Shaft

Just received a Big Block Steering shaft that I purchased and it appears that 
the seller made a product switch. I wouldn't be too concerned except that the 
differences now make me wonder if it is correct or not.
 
The bolt and slot are parallel with the flats of the shaft. Other pictures I 
have seen they are at 90 degrees.
 
Also the two plastic shear pins seem much larger. Both are a little over a 1/4" 
in diameter.

Got my copy at Wal-Mart.  I’ll scan the cover and email it to you off-list.  
Publisher is Source Interlink Media but you have to look on the inside to find 
that data and wouldn’t help much trying to find it on the shelf.  Cover shot 
has a charcoal over green 67 and a yellow 71 convertible.
 
Like most magazines, the staff writers aren’t too bright sometimes and 
proofreaders must be nonexistent.  When discussing the yellow 71 SS454 
convertible they state, “Chevrolet built just 5,089 LS5 SS454 Chevelle two-door 
convertibles in 1971.”  Uh, no – there were 5,089 Malibu convertibles built and 
there are no real numbers on how many, of any model, were LS5 optioned.  There 
were only 9,502 LS5 options sold in 71 and I’d make it safe bet that over half 
didn’t go into convertibles.
 
Same car; “The RPO Z15 Super sport package cost $357 and was offered on 
Chevelle and Malibu models…”  Uh, no – the Chevelle model didn’t come in a 
convertible configuration and RPO Z15 was limited to Malibu sport coupes, 
convertibles, and sedan pickups.
 
FWIW, Keith Anderson’s 70 SS Elky is in the same issue, facing page to Herb’s.

Don’t mean to hijack the thread
 
For some reason, Mr. Aldrich’s pages through the

gauge page is still at http://home.comcast.net/~chevelleengineer/fuelgage.htm.  
For those interested, his page on speedometers and transmission gears is still 
available at http://home.comcast.net/~chevelleengineer/speedo.htm.  The home 
(index.htm) page is missing and I don’t know of other specialty pages Mr. 
Aldrich has.  
 
Last I’d heard he was in ill health but that was over a year ago.  Does anyone 
have any updates on Mr. Aldrich or other individual page names (like speedo.htm

With either of those, you will need a 60 or 80 gallon compressor.I just 
upgraded my compressor last fall, today was the first time I used it with the 
larger tank.   I was using a 30 gallon sears compressor & I was continuosly

[Chevelle-list] Black Radiator Water?Hey All,A few months back I bought this 62 
Cadillac. It had been sitting, not running for roughly 7 years. Just about two 
weeks ago I got it driving. I rebuilt the carb and water pump on it, and did a 
general tune it. It runs like new, and I've driven it about 100 miles or so 
this past week. Well this weekend I was checking the fluids on it...I pulled 
the radiator cap, and the water was black. I stuck my finger in there, and it 
looked like I stuck my finger in black grease. The water was barely down. It 
doesn't run hot, on the gauge, from C to H, its only about a quarter of the way 
up. When I rebuild the water pump and all that, it wasn't black water. What 
could cause that? The oil is nice and clean, no water in it. The engine doesn't 
smoke. Could it be the old radiator hoses or something? The heater isn't hooked 
up either. Any ideas? I figure I'll flush it out, drive it some, then see if it 
happens again. Thanks,-Tim

Re: [Chevelle-list] welding aluminum - OY!!

[Daniel Solomon]

Jim,
 
Not a welder myself but am very involved with it at the plant. Aluminum needs 
to be clean, very clean. Typically we etch the aluminum in tanks of 
hydrofluoric acid but for large work or repairs where that isn't practical we 
buy the acid in a bottle and brush it on. It should be available at any welding 
supply house. It removes all of the oxidation from the pores of the metal. If 
you use it, be very careful. If it was to get under your finger nails it can 
actually attack the bone and is quite painful to treat. Read the caution label 
carefully.
I agree with earlier posts that TIG is better and will do a neater job. Also 
agree that you need a shielding gas although I think there may be some coated 
wires available for small jobs.Godspeed, Dan Solomon"It is a mistake to allow

I purchased a restored dash on eBay and then installed a Dakota Digital VF3 
Dash in my '71 Elky.  I cannot personally recommend the DD dash as mine has 
been a lot of trouble.  I have replaced the control box three times and am 
currently waiting on a replacement display unit.  They are great at honoring 
their lifetime warranty, but pulling the dash to replace parts can get old very 
quickly.  I believe Covan makes a gauge carrier that allows you to install 
pretty much any aftermarket gauges.  Of course the reproduction gauges are 
available as well. 
 
The restored dash was from a Monte Carlo and the holes had been filled with 
epoxy.  Grain was duplicated and it looks great.  I have since experimented 
with replicating the grain and it's pretty easy to do with a toothpick or an 
awl while the epoxy is still soft.  I bought another MC dash that had not been 
restored a couple of years ago.  It's in my warehouse and I don't really recall 
the condition.  I will take a look at it and try to price it fairly if you 
think you might be interested.  If I remember correctly, all of the bracing is 
there.
 
As far as the swap, it's not very difficult.  You do have to be careful to 
support the dash while installing it, as it is kind of flimsy until properly 
braced.

Folks, 
 
How difficult would it be adapting an SS dash to a plain old 70 Malibu. I have 
a line on a beautiful 'grandma' Malibu that looks like it is going to be the 
baseline for the 70 Clone that I have been dreaming of building. The interior 
is an almost perfect white with a bench. The only thing that I would like todo 
to the interior is to adapt an M21 for the power glide and to replace the dash 
with an SS dash. Is the dash just a plain drop in dash that will connect to the 
stock wiring except for maybe the tach? Or will I need a whole new wiring 
harness. The motor would either be a 'turn key' ZZ4, or a crate 502. BUt I am 
leaning towards the ZZ4 as I can still get the AC to work with the pump on the 
ZZ4.

Ok I have a question concerning the rear-end I just had put in my 66 chevelle. 
If you remember I had wrote when I first joined the list that I had finally got 
my car back after it had been in the shop for almost 4 mo and that the guy 
didnt do half the work he was supposed to do and didnt order any of the items I 
gave him money to buy well I have a posey rear end in her now (first time 
having one) always had the standard factory type of rear end in her, and right 
after I bought the car in 1982 I had it replaced with the exact same kind. 
Couldnt tell any difference except the fact it did drive better, tighter 
without the "play" I guess youd say? Well this rear end I have  now is 
really FUNKY! ... When I try to go backwards she acts like she just dont want 
to go, barely even goes and the tires fight to turn and I have to push realy 
hard on the gas, the tires wanna bounce. Any type of corner or any turn I make 
even as simple as turning into my driveway or making a right hand turn down 
another street the tires squell like Im doing a burn-out!! I can be going 5 - 
10 - 15 miles an hour and it does that. The tires also wanna "bounce"I am not 
happy with it do not like it at all but dont know if this is what it is 
supposed to do or if this IDIOT did something WRONG with it Is that 
normal!?? will it ever STOP and GO AWAY!?? when I complained to him about it he 
tried to say that is normal for the type of rear end he put in, that its tight 
and new and needs to be worn in and loosen upok its been a MONTH and I 
drive my car every day and I see NO CHANGE!!?? please tell me it is normal and 
will go away!!!  I already am in process of taking this jerk to court because 
of tall the work he DIDNT do and the MONEY he kept for parts NOT ordered and 
put in my car!!

Anybody need some parts? Remember the guy who bought 21 trailers full of GM 
parts? He's now selling.
Here is a link to the original story. When you get to the site, on the left is

Muscle CarsMajor stash of muscle-era Chevrolet artifacts to cross the block



A lifetime supply of muscle-era Chevy parts and a few cars will cross the block 
May 9-10.

photo courtesy Bud Ward’s Auction CompanyOn May 9-10, Bud Ward’s Auction 
Company will be auctioning off a huge collection of Chevrolet muscle-era 
high-performance parts as well as five cars, including two 1970 LS-6 Chevelles 
and a 1972 Z/28. 
The parts stash, which had been stored along with 10 desirable Chevrolet cars 
in 21 sealed box-van trailers, reportedly includes multiple complete Chevrolet 
high-performance big-block engines, heads, transmissions, fuel-injection 
systems, intake and exhaust manifolds, wheels and more. The inventory is made 
up of a mix of used as well as NOS Chevrolet and Corvette parts. 
The collection was unearthed in De Pere, Wisconsin, when the 21 tractor 
trailers were purchased from the widow of Donald Schlag, the man who collected 
all of the coveted Chevrolet artifacts over the course of his lifetime and 
stashed them away with apparently no intention of using or selling them. Schlag 
is said to have “had a deep love of all things high-performance and Chevrolet 
which led him to collect parts while working for his father at a John Deere 
Dealership.” 
Scott Milestone, the current owner, moved all parts and five cars from 
Wisconsin to Rockville, Maryland, and has since decided to offer this find to 
the public. The preview of rare parts will take place on May 7-8 in Rockville, 
and the auction will take place at High Point Farm in Clarksburg, Maryland.

Re: [Chevelle-list] master cylinder bench bleeding
I always take extra line, screw them into the master cylinder, then bend them 
up and into the reservoir, so that the ends of these lines are submerged in the 
reservoir. Fill up the master cylinder with fluid, making sure the ends of the 
lines are submerged. Put the master cylinder in a vise, and push on the piston 
part of it with a screwdriver. You'll see bubbles come out from the 
lines...keep going and going and going and going(haha) untill no more air comes 
out. You could do this on the car also...which is what I did. That way you can 
just step on the brake pedal. But then you'd need somebody else to tell you 
when the bubbles stop. 
 
Pretty easy to do really. If you have any more questions just ask.

  A Different Christmas Poem 
   
  The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
  I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
  My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
  My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. 
   
  Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
  Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
  The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
  Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. 
   
  My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
  Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
  In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
  So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
  The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
  But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
  Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
  sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. 
   
  My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
  And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
  Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
  A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
  A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
  Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
  Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
  Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child. 
   
  'What are you doing?' I asked without fear,
  'Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
  Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
  You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!'
  For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
  Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
  To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
  Then he sighed and he said 'Its really all right, 
   
  I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night.' 
   
  'It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
  That separates you from the darkest of times.
  No one had to ask or beg or implore me, 
   
  I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
  My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,'
  Then he sighed, 'That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers.' 
   
  My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
  And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
  I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
  But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
  Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
  The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
  I can live through the cold and the being alone,
  Away from my family, my house and my home. 
   
  I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
  I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
  I can carry the weight of killing another,
  Or lay down my life with my sister and brother.. 
   
  Who stand at the front against any and all,
  To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.'
  'So go back inside,' he said, 'harbor no fright,
  Your family is waiting and I'll be all right.' 
   
  'But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
  'Give you money,' I asked, 'or prepare you a feast?
  It seems all too little for all that you've done,
  For being away from your wife and your son.' 
   
  Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
  'Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
  To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
  To stand your own watch, no matter how long. 
   
  For when we come home, either standing or dead,
  To know you remember we fought and we bled.
  Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
  That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.'

  PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people
  as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
  U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
  festivities.  Let's try in th

[Chevelle-list] Cowl Induction Assembly Woes

[Daniel Solomon]

Having a heck of a time installing the Cowl Induction components in my 70.The 
door is in. I have the frame and solenoid mounted to the hood (the one that has 
the plastic flapper in it). It is an original GM piece. Next I attempted to 
install the bracket that mounts the actuator assembly (the pod). It also is an 
original GM part. Down where the two meet there isn't enough room for both 
parts. If I lay the actuator bracket on top of the frame then the plastic door 
will not open.I can install the frame or I can install the actuator support but

Re: [Chevelle-list] Cowl Hood Windshield Wiper Nozzles

[Daniel Solomon]

That is correct. The cowl hood uses different nozzles than the flat hood. I 
installed mine the only way I could see that they could possibly fit but I 
didn't use any reliable documentation to back up my decision. If you want pics 
of what I did let me know.Godspeed, Dan Solomon"It is a mistake to allow any

 Any answer yet?  I spent some time this AM looking thru the 72

 The assembly manual page (1A2D) is reproduced very poorly & I can't tell 
exactly how they are mounting the nozzles. 
 
I did go look at my cowl hood and can tell you where I mounted them several 
years ago.   I don't remember what rational or info I used, but this what I 
did.  
 
Passenger side, there is a "bubble" in the cowl screen that seemed to be 
the location.  The nozzle is mounted about 3 inches inboard of the rise for the 
hood bubble.  And stix out thru the screen bubble. 
   Driver side - Mounted just barely outboard of the beginning of the rise for 
the hood bubble.
 
FYI - If you use the cowl screen, be very careful about which screws you use to 
mount it.   I bought a repro screen & screws.  The screws were a hair too long. 
   After I mounted the screen I had 5 or 6 little dimples sticking up at the 
back of the "good" side of the hood.  Paintless dent repair got them out, but 
it was aggravating.   
 
Going back to the nnozzles, I don't remember if I used predrilled holes or not. 
 Hope this helps.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Hard to Find Item

[Daniel Solomon]

It will come together. Mine took 11 years. I kind of stalled at the rolling 
chassis. The problem was finding someone who was willing to do the body and 
paint without having to rob a bank or refinance the house.
Take care of the kids. That's the most important thing. The Chevelle will 
always be around but they won't. Enjoy every day that you have with them. Raise 
them right. Give them plenty of hugs and someday, when you look back, you'll be 
glad you did.

  Well thats good to know, especially coming from a professional web site

DreamWeaver the best web site designer? Or at least one that's pretty good. I'm 
fairly good with computers, and I know that websites are all HTML based. I've 
played with HTML a very very small amount, but that's it. The publisher just 
seemed pretty easy to use and would do what I wanted it to do(for now). I

  I write everything in Notepad, but I understand not everyone has the code-fu 
I have. If you're going to buy something, buy Dreamweaver.  As web tools go, 
these tools are only as good as the person using them, but in the hands of a 
layperson, Dreamweaver is far less likely to create as much of a mess than most 
anything else.

Hey Mikefunny you're posting about this. I was just looking into buying 
Publisher yesterday. I have 2003 here at work. I want to make a webpage for my 
side buisness...however I dont think my work would appreciate me using thier 
stuff for another buisness. How do you like using Publisher? Are you saying 
that on 2003, when you create a webpage, you cant upload it to a site because 
its not HTML??

I know this is way off topic, but

I have a need to confirm that MS Publisher 2007 will or will not properly 
convert to .html.   
Would anyone have MS Publisher 2007 that would allow me to send them a .pub 
file to convert, then send it back to me as .html in a .zip file?
If it works out, I'll just buy Publisher, but don't want to spend the money 
only to find it doesn't convert any better than the 2003 version that I already 
have.
And the 2007 trial version doesn't let me publish as .html.

Re: [Chevelle-list] No Pedal - Poor Braking

Mike,

How will I know if the rod and the M/C match?
I think I will try bench bleeding the M/C tonight. The entire system was 
installed dry so it sounds like this has to be done no matter what.

  A couple of questions. There are two types of masters. One for the long push 
rod and one for the short. If your booster has the short rod and your M/C is a 
long style you are not stroking the M/C. Also, did you bench bleed the M/C? 
This is necessary to get good pedal. One more, there should be two different 
mounting locations(holes) in the brake pedal arm for the clevis to attach to. 
The upper is for manual brakes and the lower for power.

  This may sound really dumb, but this happened to me this year.  I went from a 
manual 4 drum system to a power disk braking system.  I got everything all 
hooked up, but I wasn't impressed with the stopping power.  I started to hear a 
leak from my booster after a few months, so I ordered a new one.  Well I 
removed the master cylinder and realized my friend who hooked up the booster 
and master didn't put in the connecting rod between then.  So I had a huge air 
leak through that area and I had no physical connection between the booster and 
the master.  I doubt anyone else in the world could be that dumb, but I like to 
share my dumb stories.  PS~I drove my car like that for 5 months before I fixed 
the problem.  Now the car actually stops.  Good luck.  I'd guess it is a 
bleeding issue.  I also had a problem while bleeding that one fitting wasn't 
real tight on the rear T and it kept letting air slowing back into the system 
while bleeding.

[Chevelle-list] The Chevelle is finally coming together

[Daniel Solomon]

The 70 Chevelle is finally coming together. Its been at least 8 years since I 
started and yesterday it was in the paint booth. Should be getting its stripes 
today. I think the smile on my face is permanent now.
 
Couple things you might be able to help me with...
 
1. Bagged and tagged most everything but can't locate the front bumper bolts. I 
picked up the 4 chrome bolts for the face of the bumper but can't find the four 
bolts along the bottom. Anyone know size and length of the bolts and the 
type/number of washers used from the factory?
 
2. Need a vent cable. Looking for the one with the offset on the end of the 
wire that opens and closes the upper vents. When I installed the clip on one of 
mine I broke the retaining flange. Any condition will be fine as long as its 
not broken.
I will update the web site when it comes home.

Re: [Chevelle-list] What oil to use.

[Daniel Solomon]

There was a good article on this in June 07's Hot Rod magazine. As of 2006 
Shell Rotella T oils still had the ZDDP but there are plans to phase it out of 
this as well. 
Best news in the article was that Quaker State's line of Q Racing synthetic 
oils are formulated with all the necessary anti friction additives to keep our 
engines alive. We just have to find out where they sell it.
Another option was to add a 4 oz bottle of GM camshaft and lifter pre-lube with 
each oil change of API SM/GF-4 street oil. The GM part number is 12345501. It 
will put back in the additives to save our flat tappets.Dan Solomon

OIL IS KILLING OUR CARS!By: Keith Ansell, Foreign Parts Positively, 
Inc.About a year ago I read about the reduction of zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) 
in the oils supplied with API approval that could affect sliding and high 
pressure (EP) friction in our cars. The reduction of these chemicals in 
supplied oil was based on the fact that zinc, manganese and/or phosphates 
reduce the effectiveness and eventually damage catalytic converters and 
introduce minute amounts of pollutants into our atmosphere.A month or so ago I 
had a member of the Columbia Gorge MG Club bring a totally failed camshaft and 
lifters back to me that had only 900 miles on them!! I immediately contacted 
the camshaft regrinder and asked how this could happen. They were well aware of 
this problem as they were starting to have many failures of this type. In the 
past, the lack of a molybdenum disulfide camshaft assembly lubricant, at 
assembly, was about the only thing that could create this type of problem. My 
customer has assembled many engines and had lubricated the camshaft properly 
and followed correct break in procedures.This got me on the phone to Delta 
Camshaft, one of our major suppliers. Then the bad news came out: It’s today’s 
“modern” API (American Petroleum Industry) approved oils that are killing our 
engines.Next call: To another major camshaft supplier, both stock and 
performance (Crane). They now have an additive for whatever oil you are using 
during break-in so that the camshaft and lifters won’t fail in an unreasonably 
short period of time. They also suggest using a diesel rated oil on flat tappet 
engines.Next call: To a racing oil manufacturer that we use for the race cars 
(Redline). Their response: “We are well aware of the problem and we still use 
the correct amounts of those additives in our products”. They continued to tell 
me they are not producing API approved oils so they don’t have to test and 
comply. Their oils were NOT the “new, improved and approved” ones that destroy 
flat tappet engines! “We just build the best lubricants possible”. Sounds 
stupid, doesn’t it, New-Approved but inferior products, but it seems to be true 
for our cars. To top this off: Our representative from a major supplier of 
performance and street engine parts (EPWI) stopped by to “warn us” of the 
problem of the NEW oils on flat tappet engines. This was a call that the 
representative was making only because of this problem to warn their engine 
builders! “The reduction of the zinc, manganese and phosphates are causing very 
early destruction of cams and followers”. They are recommending that, for now 
at least, there must be a proper oil additive putin the first oil used on new 
engines, beyond the liberal use of molydisulfide assembly lube. They have been 
told that the first oil is the time the additives are needed but remain 
skeptical that the first change is all that is necessary. Their statement: Use 
diesel rated oils such as Delo or Rotella that are usually available at auto 
stores and gas stations.This problem is BIG! American Engine Rebuilder's 
Association (AERA) Bulletin #TB2333 directly addresses this problem. I had a 
short discussion with their engineer and he agreed with all that I had been 
finding.OIL IS KILLING OUR CARS!Next phone call was to a retired engineer 
from Clevite, a major bearing and component manufacturer. First surprise was 
that he restored older British Motor bikes. The second surprise was that he was 
“VERY” aware of this problem because many of the old bikes had rectangular 
tappets that couldn’t rotate and are having a very large problem with the new 
oils. He has written an article for the British Bike community that verify all 
the “bad news” we have been finding. Comp Cams put out “#225 Tech Bulletin: 
Flat Tappet Camshafts”. They have both an assembly lube and an oil additive. 
The telling sentence in the bulletin was “While this additive was originally

Re: [Chevelle-list] Danchuk ???

The catalog links are not working but if you use the pull down menus at the top 
they do. If you click the menu will drop and as you move your mouse to the 
items you want the menu will scroll to the left. You have to keep selecting 
menu choices until there are no more or it will give you an error.
Selection is limited but I just ordered a couple items and the price is

Re: [Chevelle-list] Value of a 454?

[Daniel Solomon]

Well I made a deal with the guy and bought the engine. The block is a 361959 
date code J 13 77 and the heads are 336781's with 78 date codes. The heads have 
new springs and valves. It has flat top pistons and a mild cam. There is no 
step at the top of the cylinders and it is clean throughout. Came with a 
Edlebrock Aluminum intake and a Rochester carb. From the numbers it looks like 
a light truck engine. Since its a fresh build I think I can safely beef it up a 
bit. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Anything else I should look for when 
evaluating my purchase?

Ken,
 
Check your grounds. Had a similar problem when I put mine together. Make sure 
that there is no paint where the dash harness connects to the dash frame and 
also make sure that the dash frame is fee of paint where it mounts to the body. 
If your not sure, try jumping the harness ground to bare metal on the frame.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Parts Catalog

[Daniel Solomon]

Dennis,
 
I am on the east coast and think that Classic Muscle is top notch. Their catalog is filled with exploded views so you can identify exactly what you need, they stock a lot of NOS parts listed under the original GM part numbers and if out of stock will offer reproductions. In some cases they will offer two grades of reproduction parts, typically made in USA and import for us who want to keep our Chevelle all American. The catalogs are available on the web for download at www.oldmusclecars.com . Every time I have called the salesperson who takes the order will let me know if it is in stock and when it will ship. I bet 20% of my car came from them. I can't say enough good things about'em.
 
I have also had great success with NPD and Ground Up. Both sell quality products and deliver when they say they will. I too have had bad experiences with OPG and will not use them again.

[Chevelle-list] Suggestions on Chery Pickers

[Daniel Solomon]

I agree with Karl. For the limited amount you are going to use it, go for price. I picked up mine at Harbor Freight and it has installed at least a half dozen engines. The key to long life it to keep the hydraulic cylinder closed when not in use. If you allow the piston to rust or get nicked it will shorten the life of the seals and cause leak down.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Steering column cover Question

[Daniel Solomon]

Eddie,
 
The cover under the column is the same on the SS and the Malibu as long as its not an AC car. If you have AC there is an additional vent attached.
For reference auction 230005491166 is correct. The other is not from a 70-72.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Tranmission

[Daniel Solomon]

Eddie,
 
You should put it back on. Unless you have a floor shifter and drive by shifting manually thru the gears you will appreciate the automatic drop into lower gears when you stomp it to the floor. You will need to get the cable and you must still have the bracket on the engine and the ball on the carb to attach the cable. The bracket will be mounted towards the rear of the engine, usually on the intake and have a square cutout in it. The brackets can be found both at swap meets and in reproduction. The ball is available as aftermarket. The cable is held in at the trans with a single screw.
I just went thru the same thing myself except that I was the one who cut the cable and removed the brackets 20 plus years ago.
If you need a source for the ball, let me know.Dan Solomon http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/
