day and they have a pretty low opinion of those canisters. Just
wondering if anyone had any actual experience with the canisters, because I

The W32.Blackmal.E worm, initially released on Jan. 17, is programmed to implement a very destructive routine that repeats on the third day of each month. The worm, which is scheduled to begin this malicious activity on Friday, Feb. 3, replaces the contents of files such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and Access databases. It uses subject lines such as Photos, *Hot Movie*, and Miss Lebanon 2006 to entice the user into opening the attachment. As soon as the attachment is executed, the user's system is immediately infected.Our anti-virus definition files are up to date and our gateway is well protected, but additional variants of the worm are anticipated. We ordinarily do not release advisories about individual worms, but because of the destructive nature of this worm, we wanted to bring this to your attention to protect both your work computer and your home computer. What can you do? Do you have any Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files on your local C: drive? If so, we strongly recommend taking precautionary measures and saving these files to a server that is backed up regularly. This is a good time to get out of the habit of keeping important files only on your C: drive. Do you preview your inbox looking for suspicious emails before opening them? If not, start now!

The files destroyed include Microsoft Office files including Word documents, Access database and PowerPoint files; files belonging to various Anti-Virus applications; Adobe Acrobat files and others. In addition to spreading via email, this worm can also spread through network file sharing where the file shares are not password protected or have a weak password. Although anti-virus vendors are rating this low-medium risk, it is important to note the destructive nature of this worm. Additionally, the worm may spread via email attachments that may not normally be blocked at email gateways. Additional variants of this worm are anticipated.

Now we have in essense been "taken over" and more ownership of what used to be OUR country is gradually slipping completely out of American hands. Long term, this COULD prove to be a significant problem for our grandchildren. We can't be sure, but I do seem to recall that the brutality of every country we now buy from during past wars. Our "prisoner abuses" are nothing compared to what was done to our soldiers who were captured were subjected to in World War II and since. And... Now that our funds are gradually funneling into the middle east for gas and oil we know what their attitude toward personal liberties are. All that money goes toward buying Ame! rica ... good for us today. For our children? for our grandchildren?

Hi everyone,can anyone help me?,I purchased a used car recently,the pass.frt. parking light has never worked,and also the acc. pedal is quite close to the floor, resulting in only using part throttle under the hood,now here is where it gets weird,my local auto zone manager says that because of a bad ground,which is responsible for no parking light,the cars throttle has been acting as a ground,which meant the cable has been heating up,causing the cable to STRETCH resulting in the acc. pedal to sag to the floor? has ANYBODY ever heard of such a claim? please let me here from anybody
Re: [Chevelle-list] Octane (OT)
simple,,carbon has built up on the top of your pistons,,in effect raising
your compression slightly,hence requiring a higher octane fuel.

Valvecover threads?
Do you have any photos of these valve covers,Jim?
I sold a pair of SBC valve covers last year that looked like the cam covers on
a ZR-1's LT5 engine,,for $750. Wish I had kept them now,though,for my 69's
SBC.

The unit can be obtained from most hardware stores and dental clinics. Be sure to obtain the proper permits to operate the unit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Food and Drug Administration in Washington D.C. USA. Be sure to carefully unpack the kit and place each component in its accompanying mesh safety bag. Mount the Pershing DF4 mesinator on top of the perforated Gerring Mach 77 refibulator and attach them using the eight-millimeter torque fork. Be sure that the refibulator is mounted at a 66 degree angle and properly dispersed so that it is flush with the curved section of the Pyrex thistle tube. Place the four sections of the triangular separation gear into the posture cylinder and lock them into place using the band aid adhesive strip. Insert the wiggling pin into the wobbling hole, making sure that it seated correctly. Place the D cell battery and the eleven 9 volt batteries in the power chamber. The device should be calibrated before operation using the optional digital corkscrew accessory pack prior to operation. Insert the digital corkscrew through the electronic combustion service chamber using caution not to touch the reinforced tungsten igniter control module and quickly turn the inverter drive to 28.6 degrees. Turn the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit upside down and hit the bottom plate with a 48-ounce ball-peen hammer while shaking the unit vigorously. Force open the door to the incineration valve compartment and set the pressure gauge to 719 psi. Close the door and seal it shut with duct tape. The unit should now be properly calibrated and ready to use. Before activating the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit, you must first elevate it to a height of 229 feet above sea level to insure that the unit receives the proper oxygen level and barometric pressure. Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by northeast to within the parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather satellite and apply pressure to the wing shaft on the southern most section of the modular accelerator. Using the special ratchet adapter supplied with the unit, rotate the heater core to the "on" position. The "on" position has been obtained when the green light begins to flash, signifying that the red light is about to go off. Once the red light is off, flip the toggle switch labeled "ON/OFF" to the "ON" position and count to 47 before logging on to the system. Logon using your username and password and wait for the prompt. Once prompted you must check the box with the appropriate action you wish to take and then press the pressure release button and turn off the compressor while turning the hand crank at 231 meters per minute. Next, press control, alt, delete, caps lock, shift, number lock, escape and tab simultaneously. Press enter. You will have one second to complete the procedure. If you fail to respond in the time limit allowed, simply purchase a new Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit and start from the beginning. Please remember that this is the only way we will accept for you to unsubscribe from this service. We have made every attempt to simplify the procedure for your convenience. Failure to comply with the unsubscribe policy will result in immediate termination of your subscription so please follow the above directions closely

The biggest difference is this car is automatic and the other was a 4 speed. I just could not pass this one up, from the time if first saw it, I was hooked. Looking at it was like a blast from the past. The car was restored (1998) by the previous owner a retired mechanic.

A larger filter just means more oil in the filter. Now, an advantage of a larger filter is that it'll last longer (more filter surface area to use up), and you will have more oil in the system, which give more oil for the contaminents to contamine, and more oil to break down (lasts a bit longer). I also use the taller PF35 (now PF 1218). cheers!

A 30% reduction in engine speed has to improve mileage, especially when we're talking 3 to 4 hrs of steady highway speeds. It may even lose a bit of mileage in town due to the converter slippage in Drive, but I can live with that. BTW, it was Jeff I talked to. He wanted no part of a installation and "fabrication of the rear mount, cutting the driveshaft, etc..." He did mention Ken Walker (?) but I may still take it to Phoenix Trans in Weatherford since they will install everything.

The pisser is, my upholstery is in practically mint condition. I just aquired my '69 Chevelle SS 396 after 20 years of waiting (it was my grandfathers car, he died in 1983). My dad inherited it and did absolutely nothing with it at all, but was nice enough to sell it to me after all these years. Anyway, I'm franticly looking for the build sheet and I'm told that inside the seats is one of the likely locations. This is why I may have to gain access to the inside of the seats and may need new covers. I'm actually looking for your input on build sheet locations. I'm new to this and just got on this mailing list but see your name and letters in here all the time. I figured you might not mind giving me some input. Like I said, I'm new to this and some of the VIN # breakdown info I have gotten contradicts that my car is indeed a genuine SS which is why I am hell bent on locating the build sheet. It would be quite a mystery if this car was not an SS. My grandfather bought it brand new in 1969 and it was sold as an SS. I also have quite a bit of doccumentation on the car, as well as the protecto tag. The only way I can think of that this car isn't a true SS is if the dealership "cloned" it in 1969. Do you know of any instances of this happening? Anyway John, I just wanted to introduce myself (I'm Scott by the way) and see if I could pick your brain a little. Any input you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Scott Jackson

Re: [Chevelle-list] rear axle ratio??
Well Dan, you can do like I did w/ my 70 SS, I put a 700r4,with the highest stall converter available,I have 4:56's in the car, so using the first 3 grs. for playtime,yet it's like having a 5 spd automatic.,,I just love it - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 8:38 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] rear axle ratio?? Dan, More than likely it is a 3.31. Don't forget that tire size comes into play here. The taller the tire, the lower (numerically) the ratio will turn out.As for highway RPM's, I am turning 3600 RPM at 75 MPH on the highway in my 70. It has 4.10's in it. Some say that's too high for open road, I say that's BS. My car gets 15 MPG at that rate and it runs great, has over 10,000 miles on the motor. Most say to try and keep the RPM's at or lower than 3400 on the higway so you are good to go my friend :-).Tom

Re: [Chevelle-List] thermostat recommendations?
Dan,,,a sure help is to pour in a treatment of water wetter,,it lowers temp by about 30 degrees !!! - Original Message - From: Mike Holleman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:18 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] thermostat recommendations? Dan, Both guys responding are right. The 350 needs a 180 thermostat. If you have not changed your coolant lately, try a 70/30 mix, distilled water/antifreeze. This will protect you down to around 10 below and will cool better than a higher antifreeze mix ratio. Also, be sure you rad. cap is a high enough pressure cap for your system. I tried a 7 lb cap on my 283 Malibu and it would bypass and dump about a half gallon of coolant when the engine got up to temp. A 13 lb cap cured the problem and kept the coolant in the rad. to bring my operating temp back below 190. Hope this helps.

On the way to a show the other day, my car got up to about 220°F. I think the current thermostat is a 210°F unit... This was in stop and go traffic on a high 80's, low 90's type of day... I am running the stock 5 blade fan, and a full shroud. It is a 1971 El Camino 350 engine.. in a 1964 Impala Is this a common operating temp for this motor? What do you all commonly do to reduce the temp... I used water wetter in my Mustang, and it seemed to work OK, but it could have been the placebo effect... Thanks people!

Hey Charles,go to your local AUTO ZONE store,they will have the chain and gears if you need them,,,but best of all, they have a loaner tool program there also,,,just for customers such as yourself - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 5:52 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Timing Chain Hello Listers... I recently asked any if they know where I might be able to find a new timing chain for my '70 Mali. Actually I'm stuck at the torsional damper. I've taken all bolts out of the engines front cover and the accessory drive pulley off, already. I was wonder if there was anyway I could get the torsional damper off without using the torsional damper (harmonic balancer) remover tool that my Haynes manual specifies? And if there isn't about how much does it cost? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a mechanic by any nature but I'm learning that if you do things yourself, you gain knowledge of your auto's anatomy, save money, and get it done faster.
