[Chevelle-list] Surging HELP!!

[Dave Benjamin]

I was playing with my Beaumont Thursday from a stop light. After it started 
surging will idle fine but if I hold at 1500rpm it surges 3000 to nothing back 
and forth. I think it must be carb. I did change fuel filter and pump but no 
change.

Is carb problem ease fix?

I was going to change carb and I already have one here, but when I checked 
numbers it is a 17080212. 1980 454 BB. Can I still use it on my 350? 

Thank you for any help.

Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:09:04 + 

Boys and girls,

Speaking from the industrial side of things, rubber has a shelf life of 5 
years, period. Why? Because it is too costly to shut down processes to replace 
premutarely failed product. When it comes to suppling a customer with a gasket, 
O-ring, diaphragm, expansion joints, etc., we take a strong look at when 
product is produced. Many gasket sheets, for instance will have a stamp like 
3Q05; meaning it was manufactured in the third quarter of 2005. Another 
important consideration is how long has it sat on a distributors shelf before 
being sold. Of course, there are other factors to be considered such as 
environment, packaging, how it was stored, etc. but these don't come into play 
with tires. 

How can I say this with out sounding ugly; Dan Z.  from the Rubber 
Manufacturers Assoc. is a liar! He seals his fate when he states ...without 
any scientific information to back it up. Bull Sh!t. He knows good and damn 
well, if he can read, that there is a shelf life associated with rubber. If he 
is not informed, why is he the spokesperson for this organization? Just someone 
else out there trying to cover up! and pr otect, in my humble, but informed, 
opinion.

Just some thoughts from the other side of things,

Rich

  Manual drum brakes were standard equipment with both power brakes and power 
disc brakes as options.  If you are converting to power brakes (you say you 
need to order a booster) why not consider power disc brakes?  Many companies 
offer excellent disc brake conversions.  Do a Google search for disc brake 
conversions and you'll see a number of good companies such as Master Power 
Brakes, Stainless Steel Power Brakes, Inline Tube, etc. and priced from 
$900-$1100 in most cases and contain all parts (lines, booster, etc.) necessary.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel guage test

[Dave Benjamin]

I had that problem with my car ounce. If you undo the connector in the trunk or 
just behind the bumper and attach it to ground you should see gas gauge move if 
it is working. They supply the gas gauge with + and the wire going to the tank 
is -. It is variable resistor the more fuel you have the more your gas gauge 
reads (better ground from the tank).

[Chevelle-list] Another Question HELP PLEASE!

[Dave Benjamin]

Got my Beaumont out of storage and drove it last weekend. I got a new job that 
is a 25 min. drive back and forth and will be putting on lots of miles. I am 
putting a 700 R4 ( gas price ) in and was wondering if any one has wiring 
diagrams for it or any one has done this and What will I run into. I already 
made new drive shaft, have new throttle bracket for kick down cable. Also 
bought speedometer piece that will take a cable. Was also wondering what kind 
of gear I will have in first with 336 and 15 tires?

Any Help very much appreciated.

  Just specifying 15 tires isn't enough; you need the size and aspect ratio.  
Try the calculator at http://www.chevellestuff.com/tools/rpm_calculator.htm to 
give you an RPM range for a given tire size, rear end gear, and transmission.

   

  FWIW, when I went from a 4-speed to 700R4 I don't remember anything having to 
do with wiring, only the correct cable for the kickdown.  But then, I had mine 
done at Phoenix Transmission in Texas; drove in w/4-speed, drove out with 700R4.

[Chevelle-list] 700 r4 speedo

[Dave Benjamin]

Thank you for the help on shifting a 700R4, but now I need a speedo cable unit 
to go in place of the electric speed control unit.

Picture of unit in a tail piece.

[Chevelle-list] 700R4 shifting

[Dave Benjamin]

I just picked up a 700R4 to replace my 350 Turbo in my 1968 Beaumont. Currently 
RPM too high on highways. Is there any way to get a 2spd column to shift all 
the gears. It can just do the 3spd now, but 1st is hard to get.

Thank you for all input. Also found the shifter cable thread handy.

Taking time to beat on the classics.

  Subject: [Chevelle-list] Fender-Door Gap Adjustment


  I'm finally getting round to try to even out the door to fender gap on my 
72 elky.   Both sides are equally bad, a good gap at the bottom  then widen 
out significantly at the top. I believe that the doors are hung straight 
because the door to rear quarter panels have an even gap. Pictures are at 
link below.

  http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sets/72157601417827062/

  It appears to me that the same adjustment is out of whack on both sides, but 
which one?I've never messed with the panels so want to get some advice 
before I loosen the fenders.  

   Is it possible that frame sag is pulling the front of both fenders in?   The 
body  core support bushings were replaced with poly about 10 years ago.  
Honestly I don't remember if I had the problem before it was painted (years ago 
also).  Painter did take the fenders  doors offback then.  
  thank you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] reupholster?

[Dave Benjamin]

I have done a few Different years in chevelle seats. You will need original 
foam to get the right look. I have added padding or thin foam to get rid of the 
concave mark your but leaves in the seats over the years and it makes the 
covers nice and tight looking. I just did buckets with new foam for a friend 
and they looked nice when done.

There are some pics on my web site of differant ones I have done in the past.

Good luck

  Pelle-  Having done a few seats over the years, more than I’d like, unless 
you’re after a custom look, you’ll likely need to buy the appropriate foam for 
your Chevelle.  This has the rope- like material that you will have to attach 
the hog rings to in order for it to have the proper shape.  Hopefully somebody 
will have better input for you as well.  I’m not an upholsterer, just a guy who 
works on his own cars.

  Hi!

   

  A few Q:s

   

  I'm in the progress of reupholstering the back seat.

  Allt that is left of the old back seat is the bare metal base and springs, 
due to rats and mould!

   

  Do I proceed like this

  1. First I need a layer of fabric or jute to protect the foam against the 
springs I guess.

  2. Then there's a layer of foam? How thick should the foam layer be?

  Any more layers on top of the foam except the new cover?

  3. Then I attach the hog rings!

   

  Best regards
  Pelle

Re: [Chevelle-list] LOST KEYS

[Dave Benjamin]

I have had keys made by using the door lock. The lock is coded and any lock 
smith can make it from the code. I think door lock is the same as ignition 
on 1966. It cost me like $10.00 cdn to have one done. Trunk lock should have 
code also.

You should always know the codes for your keys. There is a chart in  the 
Fisher Body Manual that you can lay a key (or a paper copy of a  key) 
against and it will tell you the codes for your locks. Just for  fun I did 
this w/ a guy who I knew at an Olds dealership in PA. I  emailed him the 
codes from my 1968 Olds keys and he made me a new set  w/o ever seeing the 
originals. The new keys worked fine. Pretty cool.

I just installed a Tremec 5 speed into my 68 SS. I switched
from a TH 400. The problem That I have now is bad wheel hop.
I never had it with the 400. I have boxed my lower control
arms and installed urethane bushings. Plus I have airlift
drag bags in my coils and Monroe coil shocks. I'm thinking
that I might have to get a set of traction bars,but I don't
want to loose the stock look. Have any of you guys used
traction bars or adjustable upper control arms to fix a
problem like this? The only thing that I can think of, that
might have changed in this switch over is the pinion angle.
Thanks ahead of time for any helpDennis

When I first put mine in I didn't have the one shim behind the one side and it 
was noisy and didn't engage right. I had to get a new shim because it was beat 
up really bad from too many one wheel peals in the rear ends life. When I put 
it back with a shim on both sides, no noise and works good

  I've checked that! When I use two batteries 
  The starter engages 
properly/fully!
  So I'm convinced it's the battery that is too 
  weak to handle the starter, making
  it engage only partially.

 Ben,

 I have a console that I bought used, but never installed it in my 65
 SS.  I bought the console and other parts to convert my 65 SS from an
 automatic.  They were purchased from Chevy Sports in Rancho Cordova by
 Sacramento CA.  I called to see if they had a console, and he said no.
 He said they are pretty rare and that no after-market is available yet.
 He said they are worth about $800. if you can find one.  If you are
 still interested, I will send a pics and talk price.  I also have a
 4-speed and original linkage.  The 4 speed worked very well, but it
 needs a second gear sincro - it shifts great up in all gears but I had
 to double clutch to shift down to second gear.  I never used the linkage
 - bought new Hurst.  I went to a Richmond 5 sp in 92 - so the 5 sp has
 been sitting in the garage for a while.  I will give you more detail if
 you are interested.

[Chevelle-list] Bad Long week end

[Dave Benjamin]

The Beaumont Takes 
One

We went for a nice little cruise Friday and when I 
was coming back into town a Mini Van was stopped ready to make a left turn in 
front of me. For some reason she decided to try to make it and I was too close 
and couldn't get it stopped in time. Everyone is fine. I am thankful we were in 
the Beaumont and not our little Honda. They do take a good hit. She was charged 
but now I have to get the hot rod fixed. It doesn't look to bad in the pictures 
but it needs a bunch of work now.

I am now looking for some parts. Any help is 
appreciated.

[Chevelle-list] Saved another 1

[Dave Benjamin]

I saved another chevelle from the crusher. Almost 
heard about it too late. Tires were off gas tank out ready to go on the pile. It 
will be excellent partsfor my other cars. Too bad I can't use the doors, 
there is no rust on them. It even has the factory clock.

Do they use the same frame for the 2 and 4 door 
cars??

Thank you for any help

Not very nice weather today. The pictures

  I’ve tried all the forums I can 
  think of so on the off chance someone on here 
  knows….
  
  I have a mystery connection in my 
  85 camaro, it’s a female connection under the middle console. Can’t 
  figure out what it’s for and the wiring diagrams don’t show it (or at least I 
  can’t find it in the ones I’ve checked).
  
  I think it could be for a 
  passenger power seat (which I don’t have). The driver’s side is power so 
  maybe they just include the other connection.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Frame and tranny

[Dave Benjamin]

I didn't powder coat it I painted it with 
Flat black epoxy. Three coats and it almost looks factory. 


With the manual set up I used pedal from an 
1986 trans Am (Borg Warner 5spd)and the hydraulic set up. The pedal part went 
pretty good(Same main bolt size and I cut down the 69's brakepedal to fit 
the 86 rubber pedal cover)but getting the hydraulic unit set up on the 
right angle to get full stroke was a real job.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1968 Chevelle key bezel.

[Dave Benjamin]

Some of the key tumblers you insert the key 
, turn backwards (I think) and then put a push pin(cutting torch cleaners 
work good)down the hole in the face beside the key and then it turns a 
little further and pulls out

Digging through cob webs

  Hello
  
  Does anyone know how to dismantle a 1968 Chevelle 
  ignition switch. I didn't disassemble the dash, but have to put it back 
  together. If you know what I'm talking about then you know that it is 
  surrounded by a chrome plastic bezel that threads onto the switch housing. I 
  won't go over the stainless part where you insert the key, so I suppose 
  youhave to remove the switch and then slide it back inonce the 
  housing is attached to the bezel, sort of like how the glove box assembly 
  works. Not sure if I'm off base on this one, but can anyone help.

They are all the same and we are a little slow also. We have our $10,000 to

vehicle outside and with me I drive it all winter.

My truck is a vehicle that I can't fix, I have to emission test every 2
years hear and it is all plastic. It cost me $30,000 when new. All the

 Not that many of you really care, but I wanted to share.  I entered my
first
 show this past weekend.  There weren't any prizes or places given out, so
I
 guess it was more of a display.  I figured I'd be kinda out of place, but
 after arriving and getting my baby set up, I felt right at home next to
some
 of the other classics.  It was great to have other enthusiasts and several
 hundred people ogle over my Chevelle.  What a great feeling.  I guess this
 is what it's all about!

 By the way, for those that may be wondering, I managed to get that back
seat
 out, and install the seatbelts so the whole family could attend!  Good
 times!

[Chevelle-list] 350 turbo Question

[Dave Benjamin]

I in the middle of changing the motor that 
is in my 1968 Beaumont. When I was removingthe bolts fromthe 
transmission I noticed a place to hook up a wire by the tranny lines. Did the 
350 turbo come with a lock up torque or something
I don't know what wire you would hook 
to it. I also don't know what year the transmission is but it does have a 
drain plug?

Thank you for any

 It is a '71 Malibu red with black int. It has 78k original miles . 350/350
 with 2bbl. Engine code AP. Car runs great, tranny is great. 10 bolt rear,
 not sure of ratio. Am waiting for previous owner to mail me the build
 sheet/owners manual etc. The body is in good shape except for the rear
 quaters and floor pans. Never wrecked or modified from original
 configuration. Can't wait to start on resto. I guess the first thing to
work
 on would be the manual drums up front. Brakes work well, just not like I
 would want them to. I have always owned/worked on Chevy trucks, this is
the
 first car I've ever owned.  Hopefully 20 years of truck work will help on
my
 chevelle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Check the seam on the inside of the front cowl, the seam sealer could be
gone. I think most of the chevelles have a seam in there on both sides.

 My dad and I are restoring a '66 Chevelle and we have a bit of a water
leak.
   The leak is on the passenger side under the dash where the heater box
is.
 We can not figure out exactly where the water is coming in but if it rains
 or we wash the car there is about 3 inches of water in the floorboard.  We
 have taken the heater box out and siliconed it and it is still pouring the
 water in.  We want to put the carpet in and do the finishing touches so
that
 we can drive the car but until we stop the water we are at a standstill.
We
 have been working on this car now for about 8 years when we can as a hobby
 and now we are so close to being finished but this water leak has got us
 stumped.  Out of all the Chevelle's my dad has restored he has never had
 this problem, PLEASE HELP!!!  In advance, thank you all so much for the
 advice!!

I tried a 160 in my 1966 chevelle and it didn't work very well. There was no

worked fine it it.

 Try a smaller WP pulley. Just think of a 10-speed bike. It will make your
 fan turn at a higher RPM.

 Unless you live in a hot climate (which you don't) a 180 thermostat is
fine
 for the street.  However, if your cooling system currently is at 210 the
 thermostat alone won't fix it; it'll open earlier (do you have a 195 in
 there now?) and slow the temperature ascent but eventually it'll still
reach
 210.  Have you verified that this 210 reading is accurate?  Factory gauge
or
 aftermarket?  How old is the sending unit?  GM gauges work based on
 resistance and if you can locate the resistance scale for your car (a
 factory service manual might contain it) you can use a combination of
 resistors to check the accuracy of the gauge.

 A fan shroud always helps with a mechanical fan but I don't know if '66s
 came with one from the factory or what your feeling is regarding the
 addition of one.  I personally like fixed-blade fans used in conjuction
with
 thermal clutches.

 The radiator isn't very old, is it?  How long has it been since the
system's
 been flushed?

 Brad O.



  I just ordered a Be Cool 180 degree thermostat for my '66 327 from
Jeg's,
 and had a
  question about it-  They also offered a 160 degree model.  I spoke
 w/another car
  enthusiast, and they advised to stick with the 180 thermostat, as the
160
 might impact
  how well the heater performs in the Winter.  Can anyone provide any
 feedback on the 2
  options, and will this definitely help my motor run cooler?  She
currently
 runs a
  constant 210.  I wanted to see what options I had without having to
 install an electric
  fan just yet..
 
  Thanks!

 As Brad pointed out, the thermostat has more to do with engine warming
than
 cooling. A fan shroud, a higher volume fan, a smaller WP pulley, or a
bigger

When I built the 1966 chevelle I built it to be fun and drivable.( because 
it is not a driver) why build the car. I went to car shows, did poker runs with 
30 other hot rods etc. Now that is the reason to drive them. I am not going to 
be someone who loads there car up on a trailer to go to a show. I DRIVE 
IT. That is why I had to figure out my cooling problem.
