Re: [Chevelle-List] Can we stick to cars, please?
Title: Message Hello List, I've read everyone's posts regarding what should be discussed on this list and what shouldn't. Since this is the USA, everyone has a right to their opinion. With that said, please read the following and please don't ever forget... THE AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either. He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm Howitzers. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.

Even though it took two years and too much money to get body work and paint done on my Elky, I guess I got lucky when I found the Cobbler's Shop. Honestly, the only reason it took two years was because my finances didn't allow it to go any faster! And not once in the two years he had it was I concerned about the quality of work being done.

Does anyone know if a mechanical fuel pump can draw fuel through an electric fuel pump while the electric pump is not running? The reason I ask is because I want to install an electric pump inline with my mechanical pump but only use the electric pump to force feed the mechanical pump while drag racing. During normal driving the electric pump will be turned off and the mechanical pump will supply the engine, that is if the electric pump isn't going to be a major restriction while off.

Having owned a 700R4 behind my 68's 468" BBC,I didn't like the 3.06 low gear and big drop in 2nd. The Buick GN trade has spawned a huge aftermarket of beefy parts for the 200R4 and I know some high 9sec,low 10sec GN's having good luck with them.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Header Question
Just out of curiosity I went to the Sanderson site to see the headers they offer. It was interesting to see they are trying to patent the "exclusive flange" of theirs. If you haven't looked at it, basically they extended the raised sealing bead out around the bolt holes which will keep the header flange from warping when you tighten the bolts. Back when I was looking for headers and I concluded Headers by Ed were too expensive I noticed that Ed's headers had a nice smooth sealing surface w/o the so called raised sealing bead that other manufacturers use. Since I ended up with Hooker Super Comps and a raised sealing bead, I welded a bead around the holes for the header bolts and filed them level with the sealing bead (I also used a dead soft copper header gasket). It's been a couple years now and now leaks. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you weld a bead around the bolt holes like I did you should have no leaks. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: "Matthew Post" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 3:25 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Header Question > Thanks for the advice Kent.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Oddball email
Craig, What if you went to the local post office and opened up a po box? That way when you get one of those emails you can give them the po box address and see if a "certified check" shows up! cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: Craig Ellis To: Chevelle Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 6:41 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Oddball email Recently I put the SBC my nephew and I built out on Mortec to sell. I've received a couple of emails requesting "name, address, phone" in order to send me a "certified check" and to arrange shipping. I know this is some sort scam, the nature of which I can only guess at, but if you happen to get one of those "too good to be true" emails, it likely is. I suppose they are using the information to steal something, somehow. It just shows you how many of these dirtballs are out there when they show up trolling sites like Mortec.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 2005 Chevelle
Here's my 2 cents... I don't think GM will resurrect the Chevelle name because we are a small group compared to the Camaro followers, meaning they'll a lot more Camaro named cars than Chevelle (if GM had any brains they'd bring back both the Camaro and Chevelle as true performance rwd cars). With that said, I can see a new Camaro in the future. As for other "performance" cars from GM, I see them cranking out a bunch of small engine fwd pos's that nobody really wants but that's all they can afford at one end of the spectrum, and at the other end, one, maybe two, totally cool, V8, rwd, true performance cars that everybody wants but only a small percentage can actually afford. I love my (old) Chevys, but I can honestly say I most likely will never buy a new GM product (until I'm ready for a new C6). Thanks to my wife being able to buy Fords on the A plan, Chevy/GM trucks are out of the question because I can get so much more in a Ford truck for so much less money than a Chevy. Like I said, until I'm ready for a C6, GM has lost me as a new car customer. cYa- Herb Lumpp1966 El CaminoACES 3509, MCC 528http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: Galen and Melissa Love To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] 2005 Chevelle My Two Cents... Say what you will about GM, but Dodge did the same (actually worse) to the Charger name back in the '80's (anybody remember the Daytona Chargers?). And, for Ford -- what about the scrawny Mustang II's of the mid to late '70's? What about the new Thunderbird? I'm all for GM stepping up to the plate with a new V8 RWD performance car, and -- if they can do a good job of it and have the vehicle be worthy of the respect that the name deserves -- I don't have a problem at all with them resurrecting the Chevelle name.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Herb
Bill, The show the pictures were taken at was the Year One Bristol Bash and I never spoke to anyone from the magazine. When my wife and I came back to the car after wondering around, the guy next to me said a photographer from "some magazine" was taking pictures and asking questions. That was the last I heard regarding magazines until Tom told the list. Either way, it's pretty cool seeing my car in a magazine.

Re: [Chevelle-List] (NC) Let's trade!
Your right about that Brad! The only problem is the 78 in Arizona and I'm in Virginia and "technically speaking" I already sold the 78 last August, but since I still haven't received payment, I consider it still mine. You're probably wondering what the hell?! A longtime friend of mine had his car stolen and couldn't afford to buy another car at the time. I loaned/sold him the 78. The way I see it, if he never pays me, I'll always have a Blazer! :) Now the 87 on the other hand, it really is a nice truck... cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 5:47 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] (NC) Let's trade! > Herb, > > You're obviously confused.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Pinion Flange/yoke
Craig, You're correct about the front yoke, I forgot about that. As for the pinion yoke, I don't think it's difficult, but I've never done it. When I ordered my Currie rear, I ordered it with a billet 1350 yoke installed. I'm sure someone on the list can answer your question, otherwise I'd check into a shop that does rearend work. It shouldn't be too pricey just to swap a yoke I would imagine. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: "Craig Ellis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 9:28 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Pinion Flange/yoke > Herb, > > I think I'll give them a try.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Auto Movers - Sacramento, CA to San Antonio, TX
Title: Message I've been following this thread and thought I'd add my two cents... Being in the military means I move quite a bit and having a bunch of cars makes moving an interesting experience. Instead of paying a moving company to move my cars I looked into renting a U-haul (junk) trailer. U-haul wanted $700+ for a one way rental. Since I needed to move 3 cars at the time and go back for the 4th later, spending $1400 to rent a trailer didn't make sense. So instead of lining U-haul's pockets with my money, I went out and bought a trailer. It was a brand new tandem axle, came with an aluminum diamond plate toolbox and electric brakes. Total cost was $1600. The initial outlay of cash didn't feel too good, but it was probably some of the best money I've spent. Since I bought the trailer two years ago, I've used it at least a dozen times for a variety of things. The $1400 spent on renting a trailer would have been long gone, but now I have my own trailer whenever I need it.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Carb Float Question
Both floats should be able to move freely. If the front does and the rear doesn't, it sounds to me like something in the rear is binding. You may want to remove the needle assemble and make sure it's not full of crud or something and then reinstall it and try adjusting it. It could be that it's adjusted down too far. If the needle assembly needs to be replaced, they aren't very expensive. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: "J.

As long as you don't have the filler cap to one extreme side (like I did - http://www.dalesplace.com/images/chevelle/p001472.jpg), it would give you space to mount the fans assuming the height fit between the upper and lower hose bungs. My question would be where are they going to route the transmission cooling lines. They'd almost have to be out the side of the tank instead of the engine side as normal since the fan assembly would block the trans cooler.

Re: [Chevelle-List] overheating
Jason, Check for oil streaks (or dust collected on oil streaks) on the fan clutch. It's a sure sign that the internal fluid that provides the clutch action is leaking. To check for a worn bearing, with the engine off, grasp the fan blade on either end and check for lateral movement. If there's more than 1/4" of side-to-side movement, the bearing is worn and the unit needs replacement. In checking for proper fan clutch operation, first run the engine until operating temperature is reached. Next, with the engine off, give the fan blade a gentle spin. If it rotates more than twice the clutch is worn and needs replacing. If fan rotation is rough or noisy, or the fan fails to turn, the unit is worn out and needs replacement. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: "jason pollock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 5:14 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] overheating > Herb, > I am waiting for the temps to hit triple digits then send my wife to get > the parts after last weeks episode :) > > what do I need to check for on the clutch ? > > thanks > Jason > > On Friday, January 31, 2003, at > 07:26 PM, Herbert Lumpp wrote: > > > Now was it really necessary to throw in the comment about how it's 85 > > degrees?

Up until the steam started spewing, everything was ok I assume? Like Clint said, the thermostat would be one of the first things to check. Another cheap check is the rad cap. If it's no good it won't keep the cooling system pressurized. Are using a clutch fan? If yes you may want to make sure the clutch is still good.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Yet another question: Electric Fan set up versus Clutch Fan set up
I started with the clutch fan and shroud and ended up with dual 12" Spal fans mounted on a homemade shroud. Clutch fans apparently can't handle a lot of rpm because over a short period of time the clutch was wasted and my engine started overheating. I think the dual Spals are the best solution though summer was pretty much over when I changed fans.

I can also go with either the traditional clutch fan set up or have two spall 11 inch fans incorporated into the radiator (along with a built in trans cooler). My question is what set up do you prefer, i.e., the clutch fan set up or the electric fan set up. And, have you noticed most modern cars have gone electric ? Your opinions sought.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Muffler and Pipe recommendations for 67 Chevelle
Actually John, the H pipe only works when the rpm and exhaust velocity are low. Once rpm and exhaust velocity get high, the exhaust goes right past the H pipe. An X pipe on the other hand works at all rpm for obvious reasons. According to the Dr. Gas web page: "Dr. Gas, Inc. has developed a new generation of crossovers that uses a tangentially siamsed junction, in place of the H or over-and-under X. It evenly splits, smoothes, and synchronizes exhaust pressures at all engine speeds. The high and low pressure pulses in the two pipes are evenly imposed on each other, leveling out the pulse time history pressure differences between right and left cylinder banks. Re-synchronizing the exhaust pulses reduces back pressure, cancels sound, and provides additional scavaging. Tests have sound 6 dBa (75%) reduction in sound levels, and increases of 10 to 30 hp, and up to 40 ft-lbs. of torque! Economy, and throttle response are improved. Exhaust flow after the crossover is completely smoothed out. The job the headers started is finished. One of the most appealing benefits of this system is the modified exhaust note. The deep growling and popping sound is replaced by a higher pitched smooth sound. The exhaust note is similar to a 180 degree header system without the nightmare of tubing." Personally I like the modified tone with the X pipe. My Elky is the second car I've used the X pipe on and when the rpm goes up it sounds like a race car (to me). cYa- Herb Lumpp1966 El CaminoACES 3509, MCC 528http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: John Nasta To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 12:44 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Muffler and Pipe recommendations for 67 Chevelle I am going with 50 series Flowmasters and the H-pipe, with tailpipes exiting behind the tires. The purpose of the crossover (H or X) pipes is to balance out the pressure to improve the flow of the exhaust gasses. Some people argue that the X-pipe is better because it forces the exhaust streams to cross each other whereas gasses (arguably) only cross to the other side when there is uneven pressure with an H-pipe.

Re: [Chevelle-List] His and Her's '66's in Super Chevy
That would be a pretty awesome sight Dale! Unfortunately, my wife isn't a big Chevelle (or El Camino for that matter) fan. She prefers old Vettes and '69 Camaros. The great thing is she wants me to be happy so I get to build whatever kind of car I like. She did say the next car I (we) build will be either a '69 Camaro (for her) or a street rod of some type.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings
Dwight, I have the PST Polygraphite bushings at each pivot point on my 76 Vette. It handles nice, doesn't ride harsh (in my opinion), but it does squeak, which makes it sound like an old car that needs some work. My Elky on the other hand, has Global West Del-a-lum bushings at each pivot point. It rides about the same as the Vette, but doesn't make any noise (except for the exhaust). In fact, I think if I had 15" wheels and tires instead of the 17", the ride would feel much softer than the Vette. I guess the point I'm trying to make is I'm sold on the Del-a-lum bushings and highly recommend them. http://www.globalwest.net/ cYa- Herb Lumpp1966 El CaminoACES 3509, MCC 528http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: Dwight Fulton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 6:39 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Suspension bushings I'm getting ready to redo the suspension on my 72 El Camino and would like to use polyurethane bushings but, have heard several horror stories about the urethane bushings squeaking.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Engine rebuild -what would you have done and why?

I am tempted to go with doing as much as I can at home, but the > reliability of a local builder that does it all the time and has all the > special tools sounds good, still I won't learn as much. If you want to learn, I would suggest having all the machine work done at the best place you can find, then assemble the engine at home. As long as you know the correct torques, have a torque wrench, some patience, and a mechanical mind, you can build your engine. > have a little performance if I ever need it... But at the same time, > there is a limit to what's "logical" for driving it on long trips. Still > I guess many a 502 with 502 HP are driven on ling trips? You can easily drive a 400+ hp engine on long trips. If you're concerned about mileage get a four cylinder (just kidding) ;) . A powerful engine can get decent mileage if you can keep your foot out of it (I have a hard time with that), and/or you spring for an overdrive trans or install highway gears in the rear. My Elky gets around 15 mpg on the highway with 460 cid, 3.70 rear and .62 overdrive, not too bad for 450+ hp. > I heard once that you don't want valve guides re-knurled. Get new ones. Most definitely. Knurling guides are for economy rebuilds or if you plan to sell the engine/car soon. > Anyone have any knowledge there? What about the guys that say they put > in all stainless steel valves and name brand names? SS valves are nice touch if you want to spend the money. You can actually pick up power with SS valves that are necked down just before the valve head. Since it sounds like you want a mild performance build, your stock valves (as long as they're good) should work fine. > Would going through the expense of putting in all new springs > although some test ok have any merit? If you're getting a performance cam & lifters, spend the extra money and get the matching springs, retainers, and locks. > Any particular brand bearings for reliability? Why?

Re: [Chevelle-List] '66 wiper arm removal procedure
Krister, To expand on what Jason said, because the wiper arm is "spring loaded" you need to keep even pressure on the splined "hub" as you pry it up. By that I mean as you pry up with a flat tip screwdriver on the opposite side of the wiper arm you should also be pulling up on the wiper arm with your other hand. By doing this you will apply even pressure (more or less) and the hub should slide up off the splines. Once you get it moving you'll see what I'm talking about. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES 3509, MCC 528 http://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/ - Original Message - From: "jason pollock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 10:26 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] '66 wiper arm removal procedure > krister, > > i used a flat head screwdriver and gently pried them up .i also put some > tape on the cowl so as not to scratch the paint. > having said that i believe there is a puller available specific to this > task > > > jason pollock > On Wednesday, January 15, 2003, at 10:03 AM, Krister Meister wrote: > > > > > Looking for step by step procedure on removing factory original wiper > > arms > > off the wiper arm hubs / spine what ever you would call them.
