Hi,

 

Does some one recommend the SS396.com online store?

 

I´m Brazilian, now living in Chile, and have a 72 Chevelle Malibu. I need
some parts and some of them I didn’t find in the NDP catalog.

 

Thank you

Re: [Chevelle-list] Anyone on that is a number's mat ching Guru?

[Doug Hart]

The number on the block pad sounds correct for the vehicle. I don't know
what the original 1 in front of the 7 is on the pad. Usually just 7 for
model year the a and the last 6 of the vin. You should also have some other
letters and numbers on the pad. Will tell you where engine made, date engine
made and then letters which tell what engine hp and if built with a auto or
4 spd trans.

I recently purchased a numbers matching 67 Chevelle SS - My question is the
VIN number on the car should match exactly the engine block number. Is that
correct? The engine number is 17A152662 and the car VIN is
138177a152662I am missing a 7 in the engine block number versus the VIN
on the body. Any thoughts from you experts?

My only question would be does this average include all new vehicles. There
was a very small percentage of SUVs sold in the 80s as opposed to now. Those
SUVs would skew the numbers for average miles per gallon.

Karl,   I agree.  Those are very disappointing numbers.

I live in western New York.  NY Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was here about
2-3 months ago patting herself on the back for getting GM several million
dollars in grant money for the development of alternate fuel engines
(Ethanol) .  She praised Gm for their 10 year effort.  I was surprised to
hear that GM has been working on this for that long.
If I were paying for facilities and engineers for 10 years to develop
alternate fuel engines and this is far as we've come, the whole bunch would
be working somewhere else.
The government should give that money to the aftermarket industry.  They
seem to know what we want and respond faster and better than the big guys.
They would do a better job with the fuel issue for sure.

I am a General Motors dealer. The new car warranty should last 36 months or
36,000 miles whichever happens first. If either of these has been reached
then in theory the new car warranty is over. If neither has been reached
then the warranty is in effect. The new owner has no responsibility for
transferring the warranty. The warranty stays with the vehicle.

Has anyone sold a newer car that still has the factory warranty?  Did you
have to transfer the warranty to the new owner and if so, what did you have

The reason I ask is I sold my Joe Gibb Silverado and within the first week

 Morning..Looking for some help, advice on my problem. I fianlly got my Chevelle out of the garage for a test drive and ran great. Went to re-start and got some chattering , tried again and started up. Back in the garage for more work went to start and same thing again. Originally I had shimmed it up , but then removed one of the 3 shims bolted it back in , started fine and then a few days later same thing again. The engine Iam running is a 350 from a '77 Chevy pickup. I put in a new battery thinking that was the problem, started great again and then back to this chattering. By chattering I mean as if the starter gear was just nmissing the flywheel. But its interminet, I checked my flywheel it shows signs of scraping. I purchased starter sheild thinking it was overheating the solenoid . Then bought a hot shot kit putting the solenoid on the firewall like the old Ford had , thats not installed yet. Today I will attempt to take out the other 2 shimms and see if that moves it closer to flywheel. Few of my questions is how do I measure the teeth on the flywheel under the car ?? Are starters different other than the nose ?? And is it possible this is not the right starter for this engine ? Originall I din't know what the engine came out of so we were using a starer from a Monte Carlo, Camaro 350 engine as a reference. But later found out the it came from a 77 Chevy Pickup. Would I need to get a starter that matches that year and cubes ?? You guys are the best so thats why I come here for help...thanks much John 66 Chevelle Malibu Phila. Pa

  Never said to lay UNDER the car and watch the driveshaft, 
  Wayne.  It's easy enough to look underneath the car while knealing BESIDE 
  the car and see the point of the wire tie to see when it gets close to or just 
  after the third revolution as the tire makes a full revolution.  After 
  all, you have to have the 2nd person stop you at one tire 
  revolution.  Unless you have a 4+ gear set, the tie is going to be real 
  close to where it started (pointing straight down) to determine its final 
  position at one full tire turn and will indicate a high 2+ or very low 3+ gear 
  ratio.  
   
  It's not like the fella that wanted to take the hood off 
  his car and have his buddy ride in the engine bay and look down the carb to 
  see if the vacuum secondaries opened at full throttle. :*)

  Here's another method you can use and takes two 
  people.  Get a large wire tie and snug it around the driveshaft with 
  what's left pointing down (6:00 position) as a reference, i.e., don't snip 
  off the end.  Make a chalk mark on the tire at its lowest point on 
  the ground.  Carefully push or drive car one full tire revolution 
  while 2nd person watches the wire tie on the driveshaft and counts the 
  full revs.  When the tire has made one full turn, look at the wire 
  tie.  How many full turns did it make and where it is now in relation 
  to pointing straight down.  Did it make just over 3 turns - could be 
  3.07 or 3.08; 3 1/4 turns - 3.23, etc. That will get you close to the 
  final ratio with whatever wheels/tires are on the car 
  now.

Re: [Chevelle-List] GM Strike

[Doug Hart]

Title: GM Strike



The strike was during summer and early fall as I remember. I 
had a new vette ordered which was supposed to arrive before I reported to the 
air force on Sept 26, 1969. It didn't arrive until Nov 69.

  Anyone know when the GM strike was for the 69 or

  coded to October (20 and 17), the transmission in January (27) , and a build 
  month of March.  Five and three months seems like an unusually long time

Re: [Chevelle-List] Steering Column

If it were me , I would get a

rebuild the column shift( unless you want to use it later.)Money spent on your 
rebuild would be about the same or close enough to the price of a good used 
one.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Electrical problem...

I found another fuse blown on top of my problem 
like yours. Two blown fuses. Well i started probing around and found a couple of 
wires grounding out.I just started unplugging them and tucking and taping the 
dangiling ones and fuse blowing problems have gone away.Hope it is this simple . 
Also found some "Jim McCutchin"wires under the hood and took care of them. My 
battery was not secured properly, just a lot of stuff piled up and no time or 
energy to tackle it until I made time.

  I have 4.10's in it, I had a small

  28 or 29" to make it run right.  I took it back to the track not too long 
  ago and it was still taching out on street tires.  I had it bouncing off 
  the rev limiter.  Of course it did not hook up either, smoked the tires 
  all the way through the 60 foot mark, and broke the tires loose again hitting 
  2nd gear.  Anyone want to donate a set of slicks

  Hello,
      I am 
  new to this list but have been working on cars for 35 years. Just never 
  did a complete restoration. I would love to pick some brains on good 
  sites to find info on the restoration of my 67SS. I have had this car since 
  1970 and finally have convinced myself that a frame off restoration is in 
  order. I have it completely stripped and the frame is blasted and primered. I 
  am ready to start back with the suspension and would like some advice on what 
  would be the best way to go with both front and rear. It will be driven on 
  weekends to events and an occasional drag race at the Baytown strip. I want 
  the ride to be good with traction being second importance. I 
  would like to know who makes the best components for this application. I want 
  to replace everything including trailing arms and also upgrade to disc brakes. 
  Thanks for any and all suggestions, they will be very much appreciated!!!

  What I really want is a 69 Elky,Herb. My father 
  bought a new 69 SS off the showroom floor and I've always had special feelings 
  for that year.(had a Motion Performance 69 Nova,too,but that's another story). 
  What I would like to find is a car with decent paint & body(preferrably 
  Black/Black),something that can be lived with for awhile. A big block is 
  preferred but not mandatory. Really want a four speed car so I can switch it 
  over to a T56 in the future. Since I plan on eventually building the car from 
  the ground up,a good daily driver is really what I'm looking for. If someone 
  would be interested,I have a 91 Chevy custom ext.cab truck I would 
  trade.(lowered,phantom grill,C5 rear pan,custom interior,Alpine stereo 
  w/sub,etc) I bought the truck new so it's a known quality. Dale Mac has seen 
  it. Hate to part with it but I really want to build another Elky,,a serious 
  one this time.(even more than the 68)
  Anyway,I can pay cash or trade

That's good to hear Clint!  I know what you mean about having El 
Caminos in the blood, they're kinda like women, once you've been there, you 
keep going back! ;)
 
What year Elky are you looking for?  What shape, engine, 
etc?
 
Anyways, welcome back.

The 70 has been in the family for over 20 years. 
It was purchased in 81, Dad had a chance to buy it from the second owner in 80, 
but missed out , He fortunately got it from the third owner , (before the bed 
was completely destroyed.)  It had the original engine and all. The big 
block is now resting peacefully in Uncle's garage, until I can rebuild 
it.For now it is sportin  a low compression big block . It has been in 
my name for three years and in my driveway for six months.It is now my daily 
driver. The 69 really uses to much fluid , oil tranny , super unlead. I had to 
fix the broken exhaust spring in the 70 two months ago, and it has been 
runnin fine since.

  center
  
  My driveshaft is offset a bit left of center 
  when viewed from the back of the car. A driveline buddy of mine says this is 
  deliberate in order to make sure the driveshaft never arrives at zero degrees 
  of offset through the suspension travel. Could you guys please tell me if the 
  driveshafts in YOUR cars are offset at all? By offset I mean laterally. So if 
  you were looking at a "plan view" of the chassis (that is, a bird's eye view), 
  the driveshaft would be slightly left of center at the transmission tail shaft 
  so a slight angle would be present between the trans and the differential. Or 
  maybe the differential would be slightly offset.
  BTW, this would NOT generally be evident in 
  assembly manual drawings, etc. You'd sure enough see it if the car was on a 
  hoist and viewed from the rear, however. This is important to me in my quest to debug my 
  driveshaft. Also, not all platforms has this offset - only those the engineers 
  determined could arrive at zero at some point in the travel of the suspension. 
  We're only talking about a 1/2 inch or an inch, by the way. Nothing dramatic 
  but you can see it readily.

[Chevelle-List] spark plug fouled

Pop's big block 396 has been fouling the

motor and found #5 exhaust spring was broke, thankfully it did not drop.He built 
the motor with good valve springs for the intake but took a short cut on the 
exhaust (used ones ).Would a broke exhaust valve spring cause a lot of fouling 
and cause the motor to run bad at idle?  There is no signs of water in the 
oil .Any help or other places to check.thankx

Re: [Chevelle-List] I'm stumped

[Doug Fugere]

sometimes a guy can get his tranny together and put it on the motor, and the
torque converter can look like it is in all the way, if you can get your
fingers behind the torque converter , it is not in all the way. This might
be off but hey double check that the torque converter is in all the way .
Your fingers should not be able to get behind it.
Advice from the old man to me .Take care

  & went for a ride, but it was the same. Then I checked wheel bearings,

  problems
  
  
      I've got shifter problems on my ragtop 
  & am looking for suggestions.  The car was a column shift power glide 
  & is now a 400TH with the column shift.  I drove home the other 
  night, pulled in the garage & couldn't get the shifter to move above 
  drive.  I was able to hold the car & get a block behind the 
  wheel.
      Last night I jacked it up & disconnected the shift linkage from the 
  trans & was able to shift the trans through all the gears from 
  below.  The linkage all appears to be connected properly with nothing 
  binding.  So, apparently the problem is in the steering column.  
  Before I tear into this tilt column is there anything I should look for or 
  beware of?  I've torn down a couple of standard columns over the years 
  but have never been into a tilt unit.
      Advise & tips welcome.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Gas Tank and Brakes ?

[Doug Fugere]

Bench bleed the master cylinder, double 
check brake lines , won't hurt.Also clean the face of the booster where the 
master cylinder hooks up.

  Subject: [Chevelle-List] Gas Tank and 
  Brakes ?
  
   
      Well I hope that I can 
  drop my rebuilt 396 in next week.  I'm just getting that itch really 
  bad.  I have been cleaning and detailing the undercarriage as much as I 
  can,  and replacing what I need to, with the engine removed.  
  
   The only bad part on 
  my 69 SS body is the trunk area, and it's not that bad.  I have some pin 
  holes in the far rear, near tail lights, of the floor pan.  I can't 
  afford right now to replace it.  I was wonder however, that it would be 
  great to at least coat under the rear floor with some POR-15 to help it 
  along.  I already did the interior area. My questions are how 
  hard is it, for a first timer, to remove the gas tank to coat this area? That 
  is involved?
   I also have a leak 
  where the Master Cylinder and booster connect.  I guess the Master 
  Cylinder is bad.  I just purchased a rebuilt one. 
  If I 
  disconnect the break lines and replace the Master Cylinder, can I get by 
  without bleeding the brake lines?

have you been !".(out doing stuff) We did put used springs in it along time ago

  My 71 looked like a pretty good specimen when I first saw it 
  except it sat at least an inch and a half lower on the drivers side. The guy 
  who owned it wasn't home when I got there to see the car. His wife let me look 
  it over until he got home. I crawled around underneath it in the rain to see 
  if I could see any signs of frame damage. I couldn't see anything. While I was 
  under the car he got home. He bent down and said, "I'm the reason the car 
  leans." I crawled out from under the car to meet a very large, 6' 6", 400 
  pound guy who drove the car for about 4 years. 
  I put new springs all around and the car sits nice and level.

  May be bad body bushings (collapsed)  or the springs may not be 
  seated.  If I had to venture a guess I'd say that the 30 year old rubber 
  bushings have died of old age.   There are about 4-6 bushings on 
  each side (between frame & body) check them all.
