[Chevelle-List] Re:Subject: Do Not Dial Area 809 ( please read )
Hey Guys and Gals. Just got this from a friend, spread it around...looks serious. Subject: Do Not Dial Area 809 SUBJECT: 809 area code THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809 This one is being distributed all over the US. This is pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call. Be sure you read this and do not make any calls to area code "809". MAJOR SCAM: Don't respond to Emails, phone calls, or web pages which tell you to call an "809" Phone Number. This is a very important issue of Scam Busters because it alerts you to a scam that is spreading *extremely* quickly can easily cost you $2400 or more, and is difficult to avoid unless you are aware of it. We'd like to thank Verizon for bringing this scam to our attention. This scam has also been identified by the National Fraud Information Center and is costing victims a lots of money. There are lots of different permutations of this scam. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: You will receive a message on your answering machine or your pager, which asks you to call a number beginning with area code 809. The reason you're asked to call varies. It can be to receive information about a family member who has been ill, to tell you someone has been arrested, died, to let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc. In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. Since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls. If you call from the US, you will apparently be charged $2425 per-minute. Or, you'll get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges. Unfortunately, when you get your phone bill, you'll often be charged more than $24,100.00. WHY IT WORKS: The 809 area code is located in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. The 809 area code can be used as a "pay-per-call" number, similar to 900 numbers in the US. Since 809 is not in the US, it is not covered by U.S. regulations of 900 numbers, which require that you be notified and warned of charges and rates involved when you call a "pay-per-call" number. There is also no requirement that the company provide a time period during which you may terminate the call without being charged. Further, whereas many U.S. homes that have 900 number blocking to avoid these kinds of charges, do not work in preventing calls to the 809 area code. We recommend that no matter how you get the message, if you are asked to call a number with an 809 area code that you don't recognize just disregard the message. Be wary of email or calls asking you to call an 809 area code number. It's important to prevent becoming a victim of this scam, since trying to fight the charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That's because you did actually make the call. If you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.

[Chevelle-List] Disc brake question
Hello Guys & Gals. Got a disc brake question for you. I have a 66 Chevelle Malibu that I will be putting front disc brakes to. Right now the rotors are off a 72 Cutlass. I have the oppurtunity to acquire calipers , proportioning valve and master cyclinder from a 70 Chevy Van. What I need to know would this setup work ? I know you can interchange cars , but can you interchange from a van to a car. I may have to rebuild the master cylinder it holding fluid now or would it be wiser to buy a new master cylinder? Another question also if anyone out there has to patch panels for a 66 Chevelle fairly reasonable I be interested, need left and right fender patches. Thanks againJohn

[Chevelle-List] Body Parts 66 Chevelle Malibu
Hello... Need to know if anyone knows where I can find a LH and RH lower front fent quarter panels for a 66 Chevelle Malibu without having to pay through the nose for shipping. I usually buy my parts from NPD who only charge 10% for shipping. Bought a rear panel section for my car and paid only 8 bucks for shipping. Original Parts Depot charge you damn near 12.95 Fed X Ground and takes 7-10 days to get there. Paddock Parts charges by the dollar amount. These 2 parts cost about 36.50 each but their shipping is 16.00 ...So if there is anyone who may have them or know where I get them let me know, would appreciate it.these are the last 2 panels I need for the car.then its ready to be primed Thanks again..John Phila, Pa 66 Chevelle Malibu
[Chevelle-List] Four Bolt Main
Howdy All Quick question for you...I have a 350 engine in my 66 Chevelle , talking with a few local guys they asked if it was a 4 bolt main and I was not sure since it came with the car. It came out of 77 Chevy Pickup Truck , they said I could drop the pan and look at the crank , but it filled with oil and running. My question is is there any number designation in the block serial number that tells this. Another quick question , does anyone know the emission laws in Pennsylvania with regards to running exhaust out the sides just past the rear window and in front of the rear tires just where the wheel well starts . I wanted to put on a header exhaust package and run them out the sides instead to the back below the bumper Thanks guysJohn Phila , Pa
Re: [Chevelle-List] Disc Brake Question ?????
In a message dated 3/2/02 11:57:57 AM Atlantic Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just did this same thing on my 68 malibu. The car had drum brakes and I put discs on from a 1971 Monte Carlo. I went to checker auto and had no problem buying new calipers for around $50.00 a set. They also had new rotors for around $120.00 a set. I havent replaced the proportioning valve yet, but the car seems to stop really well. The fronts are quite a bit stronger than the rears now. I have heard a lot of people like this set up, as it is easy to spin the tires and warm them up when racing. I may still have the boxes for the calipers if you need a part#, I guess these calipers were ysed on a wide variety of cars. Jegs.com has an adjustable proportioning valve if you dont care about keeping the car "original". === any information you have , part numbers ? Checkers ? Where are they located? ThanksJohn
[Chevelle-List] Disc Brake Question ?????
Morning Everyone Iam presently about to put disc brakes on the front of my 66 Chevelle Malibu and Iam having a problem determining and / or locating the right calipers for it. There is are existing rotors on the car which came ( so to speak ) from a 70 's year Cutlass. Iam not sure what year Cutlass they are, but what procedure would I have to follow to get a good matchup ? Do I measure the distance across the rotor ? The distance across the pins ? Iam on a fixed income and on a low budget in restoring this car but so far I have managed to be 75 % complete on this car. I have looked on e-bay for calipers but nothing available, should I replace the existing rotors and buy a complete set of rotors and calipers from junkyard that match ? I hate going that route , dont know what your getting and if they are bad you wasted that money. I received a list of A-Body cars from a fellow suscriber here that was very helpful, thanks John. Would anyone of those calipers work on this Chevelle ? Just need! someone to lead me in the right directions for calipers and yes I will also need a porportioning valve as well, have a master cylinder already and booster. Any help anywhere from anyone would be appreciated..if this is confusing, its early John ( 66 Chevelle Malibu ) Phila, Pa

[Chevelle-List] Re: Belts , Hoses and Pulley oh my...
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hello Chevelle Buddies Iam having a dilema here , restoring a 66 Chevelle Malibu HT. When I got this baby of mine she had nothing in the engine compartment . Heads , block , water pump , power steering pump. Since I started we have replaced starter ( with help from here ) solenoid, dist. , cap /rotor , fan blade , fuel pump , carb , valve covers , headers and spark plug wires.Configured the wiring from the butcher who had her before me. No we are almost ready to fire her up but we have come but we are having problems locating correct upper and lower hoses, correct water pump pulley and correct aligment of where the belts go to. I know the car calls for 2 belts , not being familar with this engine Iam having a problem installing which belt to which assembly. Plus when I align the belts with the pulley there seems to be a slight variation with alignment. Are there spacers that can be used ? And what is the difference between a long water pump pulley and a short water pump pulley ? I know Iam asking alot here but we are so close to putting some life in to her . The engine is a 350 cu. in . horse ( unknown ) . The radiator is stock 66 Chevelle. The neck is to the drivers side. Must have seen 100 hoses tonight, some of these guys in the auto part stores amaze me that they work there, some are good but some just dont know nuttin. So I have to seek advice from the chevelle guru's. Hope you guys can help me thanks for your time John ( 66 Chevelle ) - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Chevelle-List] Tech help ( Starter )
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Morning.. My name is John ( papawheels ) recently acquired a 66 Chevelle Malibu that Iam in the process of restoring. When I bought this car it had a 350 ci motor with nothing on it . I replaced wires , carb , alt , power steering pump , valve covers . Re-painted the block , added headers and now I have come to a block in the road. The car didnt come with a starter, should say it did but it was doa. I talked with several guys at the tech shop on line last night and got mixed opinions. The flywheel does not seem to have replaced, its rusty and the cover plate is gone. Went to the auto store and picked up what I thought to be exact match, but when we put it in the teeth on the flywheel do not meash with the starter gear, from left to right about 1/2 in gap. The pattern on the starter bolts is corner to corner but on the block it shows to variations of holes . Corner to corner and side to side and the distance side to side is about 1/4 inch farther then the corner. Sounds confusing to me too. Dont know what the engine came out of all I know by the block code is it from '69 to '79 .My question is , is there more than one variation of a chevy starter for a 350 engine ? If I can get thru this obstacle Iam on my way to the body and interior. The engine has been rebuilt but the previous owner knows little about it or what it came out of..need help !!!
