Re: [Chevelle-List] Chevelle List
To unsubscribe from this service you must first purchase a Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit. 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 -- Jeff Fischer Lake Elmo, MN '71 Chevelle SS, 454, 4 spd http://home.attbi.com/~addss/chevelle.html At 10:42 PM 12/5/2002 -0600, you wrote: - Original Message - From: John Johnson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 7:03 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Chevelle List How do you get off this list?

[Chevelle-List] Rebuild or not
I have set this spring as the time I would have the 454 in my Chevelle (purchased 12/01) rebuilt. The car's odometer shows 88k. The car's lifters are noisy as hell and it just doesn't seem as strong as a 454 should be. In the meantime I had contact from the previous owners father and he seems to remember that the car was rebuilt within the last 10k but the car sat for a number of years after the rebuild. He was vague at best so I asked a local mechanic if he could ascertain if the rebuild was actually done and this is what he proposes to do to make that determination: 1. Compression Check - Find out what the factory spec is from compression. Run a compression check and your engine should not be more that about 5 percent from that spec. 2. Leak Down Test - This will help to determine wear in the valve train, ie., worn valve guides, valve stems, seats, etc. 3. Remove the Valve Covers - An engine that has been properly rebuilt with 10k miles on it should have almost no varnish on the heads, rockers, valves, and springs. 4. Check Main Bearings - Remove the oil pan and remove one or two the main caps and inspect the bearings. With 10k miles on the engine there should almost no noticeable wear other then some of the coating wearing off. If there is a lot of copper showing, deep grooves, or burn marks the engine is wearing. He then tells me that it is a two person job and they both get $50 per hour and it should take 6 hours. My questions are this: 1. Should all the tests/things the mechanics recommend be done? Are they all necessary? Is there a better way to determine? 2. Is 6 hours, two guys and $600 reasonable?

[Chevelle-List] 1st experience w/engine rebuild
I intend to have my 454 rebuilt this coming winter/spring season and have never done this before. This will be the motors first rebuild that I know of and I have a couple questions. When redoing the cylinders, is it always bored over? Is this the norm? If so, how much should I expect or consider going over? Will this diminish the value of this completely stock motor? If you were having your motor rebuilt, what things would you make sure were done and please if possible, feel free to get detailed in the parts/procedure descriptions. Any precautions you might take to make sure you get back the same 454 with all the same parts. (less the ones that will be replaced of course) Maybe I am paranoid but it seems to me these motors are very valuable and thus a target for a switch of parts? true?

Re: [Chevelle-List] Insurance woes
This policy of dropping you after an accident is terrible. They don't bump your rates or put you on a probation, just drop you cold. My wife never had an accident period. No tickets. She hit another car and her car was repairable. We were dropped immediately (Heritage Ins.) and had to scramble to find someone to cover us again. We did but at a higher rate of course! Took many years to get back to that lower rate again. So now we don't drive, just keep the cars locked up in the garage and go out and stare at them occasionally. *grin* -- Jeff Fischer Lake Elmo, MN '71 Chevelle SS, 454, 4 spd http://home.attbi.com/~addss/chevelle.html At 06:08 PM 7/8/2002 -0500, you wrote: >It seems as thought there's never a week without some kind of crisis going >onthis week, I cannot get anyone in car insurance to return my calls >about a new policy for my two cars.

[Chevelle-List] No low beams
Used the Chevelle in the dark and had no low beams but the high beams do work. I just ordered a new headlight switch because the old know is broken off.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Worked up the nerve
I did all the rings around the gauges and the lettering for "Wiper/Washer" and "Lighter" I used the Testors Paint Marker and you press the felt tip down to allow paint to flow down over and through the felt. I used a piece of card board as a blotter to control just how much paint I wanted on the tip and the paint flowed and covered excellent in one coat. For the lettering, I just slid the tip of the marker gently over the tops of the letters and it painted them without painting between the letters. I had rags and Q-tips ready for the anticipated screw-ups but didn't need them. Either I was very lucky or this was easy. :) P.S., this was done with the dash on the car. -- Jeff Fischer Lake Elmo, MN '71 Chevelle SS, 454, 4 spd http://home.attbi.com/~addss/chevelle.html At 06:09 PM 5/24/2002 -0400, you wrote: >What part of the trim were you doing?.

Took off the door panels today.

RE: [Chevelle-List] X pipes
Mark, I went with the 40 series, Delta flows. (2.5" pipes, Flowtech headers) The mufflers are not loud in the car at all, I was expecting more noise but outside the car they sound great at idle and super under acceleration. I like them but judging from what I hear on the streets around here, I think many people want louder mufflers. The mufflers do not drive me crazy (from inside the car) like the Thrush mufflers I had on my Roadrunner as a kid. :) Did you listen to the samples of the various mufflers at Flowmasters website?

[Chevelle-List] Heater core?
Last few times I drove the Chevelle, I have been noticing the odor of anti-freeze and when I throw on the heater, the windshield gets fogged. This is a faulty heater core correct?

Re: [Chevelle-List] Any advice for a Quadrajet on a 69 SS396
I just installed the Edelbrock #1901 about two weeks ago as I was having all kinds of troubles with the old Rochester. All problems cured when the 1901 was installed, the install was flawless and quick. All linkages, etc are exact. Included are new gasket, threaded rod and wing nut to secure air cleaner lid, caps to plug vacuum ports you may not use, stud to connect accelerator cable and instructions.

[Chevelle-List] Tips on intake manifold gasket

[Chevelle-List] Still having troubles with suspect carb
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I had the Rochester Quadrajet carb rebuilt on my 71 Chevelle and only discovered afterwards that it is not the correct carb but rather from the numbers (#7042210QE 0872) on the carb, it is from a 1972 350 motor. I am experiencing a bogging or hesitation as soon as you depress the accelerator. I tried to adjust the two needle valves that are on either side, front of the carb but the left screw does not effect the engine at all? No matter if you screw it all the way in or out. The right screw will kill the motor when screwed in. I called the carb shop and he says that the screws will only effect the car at idle and not under power regarding the hesitation issue. He further blames my troubles on a vacuum leak. Another source tells me that anytime you can screw in one of these screws and it does not effect the motor there is a problem inside the carb and the carb shop needs to take responsibility? Is this true? I don't know which way to turn on this. The timing and dwell have been set right on specs but the hesitation problem is still there, also after running the car on the highway and you get off and say are at a stop light, the engine is running very rough and the car is slightly shaking unlike the way the engine ran before the high speed trip. The car's exhaust is broken (sounds like a truck) where the driver side exhaust manifold attaches to the exhaust pipes and is at the muffler joint now getting new headers, pipes and flowmasters. Am hoping the new exhaust will help cure some of the problems.

[Chevelle-List] Can't get personalized plate I want
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List In December I registered my '71 Chevelle and bought personalized plates. (SS 454) At that time they looked up the SS 454 in their computer to see if it is available and it was so I gave them the $107. Actually gave them much more than that because in Minnesota they force you to first buy a regular license plate before you can buy the personalized plate. Yesterday I received a letter from the motor vehicles dept of MN telling me that my personalized plate application is rejected due to the SS 454 being issued already on a standard, regular plate and my $107 will be refunded in 4-8 weeks. If I want to reapply, I must go back to the motor vehicle testing station and start all over. I called them again this morning and asked if there is a way to check for the plates I want and guaranty that I have it locked in so I do not have to go through this all over again in 30 days and of course there is not. The day you pay your fee and apply for the plate in no way locks you in. When your application gets to and is processed at the main office in 4-8 weeks, if someone else has applied for that plate and there paperwork gets there first, your screwed. What a policy! The woman on the phone then wanted to go through some ideas I have for the personalized plate and I mostly want combinations of the 71 SS 454 and as soon as I said that she told me that they will most likely reject any combinations of letters and numbers because of the possibility they could or can be issued on a standard license plate. Of course through all my dealings with these unique people that work at the motor vehicle dept, you get the attitude of "I could care less that you are having this problem and have many calls to handle so hurry up" I guess I will have to come up with another idea for a personalized plate if I still want it. This was like a skit on Saturday Night Live, "thank you for your check, yes that personalized plate is available but will probably be rejected in 4-8 weeks and you may never be able to get a plate that you want* Muhahahaha :) -- Jeff Fischer Lake Elmo, MN '71 Chevelle SS, 454, 4 spd, matching numbers (In process of restoration when spring gets here) :) http://people.mn.mediaone.net/addss/chevelle.html - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Chevelle-List] Air shocks
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I recently bought my '71 Chevelle and even though it sits tucked away in the garage for the Minnesota winter I am always thinking about it. In fact yesterday a friend brought over what he said was "all we need to time the car" but all he brought was a timing light. We set the timing but I still have a problem where the car turns over slowly when hot. I then read in the service manual that you can set the dwell without a meter by turning in the dwell until the car bogs then opening a half turn so we did that and of course rechecked the timing and it was at 0, so reset that back to 8° and the motor seemed to sound better but still does the slow starting. Any ideas on what is causing this? On the rear the car has air shocks and I want to take them off. What would be the best replacement system for the rear? With hardly any air in the shocks the car "wheel- hops" all over the place with even minimal acceleration. Sorry for these newbie questions but I haven't worked on these cars since I was a teenager and although it is coming back to me slowly I feel the need to clear my thoughts with you guys until I build more confidence.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Ok, now that I have this '71 Chevelle, I have to get busy and begin the resto. For some reason, it doesn't seem to be restoring itself out in the garage. :-) What manuals will I need to show me how to restore and repair this car? Haven't worked on these cars in years.

[Chevelle-List] Flasher location
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List My '71 Chevelle was delivered to me last night and it is in rough shape. New plugs, wires, points, etc really got it running better. So much to do and winter is about here, I am lucky I was able to get a ride before the snow and it goes to the garage. Can anyone help me as to the exact location of the turn indicator flasher unit? I see what I believe it the emergency flasher (round, shiny gold) unit right on the fuse box but I can't see the other flashed. I can hear it but can't put my eyes right on it. Does it look the same as the emergency flasher?

Re: [Chevelle-List] non-oxygenated fuel or not?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Just received an email from the previous owner stating to use 92 octane unleaded pump gas with an octane booster for each tank full of gas. The non-oxygenated gas I mentioned is 92 octane and is at several stations near me and they all have these signs stating to use for collector and classic cars only. Does anyone else have this stuff near them and use it? Should I follow the previous owners advice and use the octane booster in each tank full?

[Chevelle-List] non-oxygenated fuel or not?
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hi, I am new to the list and owning a Chevelle. I will take delivery of my 1971 Chevelle SS 454 sometime in the next 2 weeks and was wondering what gas I should use. Many pumps around me have "non-oxygenated" fuel and the signs say for collector cars, boats, etc. Is the fuel I want to use?
