Re: [Chevelle-list] Black California License Plates - Z series

[Larry Williams]

Last call on the plates for you California guys.  There is a reserve - 
optimistically priced at $750.  I know it's high, but I will check to see if I 
can remove the reserve close to the end if the bids are better.  This is the 
only new Z series plate on eBay.

I’m not sure, but since they are never used you might have a chance to use them 
to register in California.  They are likely worth a lot if so.  I don’t know 
the rules.  What are the letters?  If they are 1970, they might be too new.  I 
found this:On July 1, 2009, California expanded their YOM program to add 
1963-1969 passenger cars, and 1963-1972 pickup trucks. Vehicles manufactured 
before 1963 are still eligible. The YOM program allows owners of these classic 
cars to register old plates that match up with the model year of their vehicle. 

You'll need a year sticker or metal year tab, and the plates must be matching 
pairs with "cleared" (not in use) numbers to be eligible - meaning there is no 
record on file that the same sequence is in use on another set of plates (as 
California sometimes re-issued the same numbers/letters on different year 
plates).  Search online for “California YOM” and you will find a lot of info 
out there.And read online here: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg352.htm

[Chevelle-list] Electrical Short?

[Larry Williams]

My 65 has an old after market wire loom.  I have just noticed that the brake 
light circuit has a short.  I have blown two 20 amp fuses for that circuit.  
The running and turn indicator circuits appear to be normal.  I have bought a 
new brake light switch, but have not installed it yet.  I can't  see how this 
switch can caused the fuses to blow unless it is just a bad connection.  I will 
check the light plugs for a ground short today.  Hoping not to have to trace 
the wire from the fuse box.  Anything I missed?

You are right.  Your hydraulics should be zero plus a 1/4 to 1/2 turn turn

So, the story is I had a collapsed lifter as I suspected and also a broken 
intake valve spring that I didn't know about.

I also want to address the issue of adjusting valves. It was said here that 
"turn until it stops tapping + 1/4 turn" was an old rule for solid lifters. It 
was pointed out to me that with solid lifters, if you go the extra 1/4 turn you 
are bound to bend a rod, because it has nowhere to go. Makes sense. So, the old 
1/4 turn rule seems to be for hydraulic lifters only.

Depending on your state there are laws
about removing the VIN tags, I removed mine during the restoration and I am
currently looking for the correct rivets. I contacted trimtags.com but haven’t
gotten a reply yet. They make replacement cowl tags but not Vin tags. You need
that tag if you ever want to sell the vehicle so if you think your painter
removed it ask him for it, I don’t know how you will get a replacement
and it may be illegal for him to even possess it depending on your state laws. 
The
numbers on the frame on a 65 are on the top of the left frame rail between the
last 2 rear body mounts.

Here's the Hughesnet link for those interested.  http://welcome.hughesnet.com/  
 
They say they are available everywhere.  If you don't have any other service 
available except for dial-up Hughes is OK.  The only thing that drives me crazy 
is the customer service out of India and the archaic download policy.  If you 
go 
over your allotment they slow you down to dial-up speed for a up to 24 hrs.  No 
music or movie downloads except from 11pm to 3am when they have no restrictions 
on download.  That I won't miss.

employees now and this past fall hired 500 temps to meet the
demand. I am sure when the economy stabilizes many of them
will become permanent.  No one can argue with the fact that
more than 3,000 people are willing to work for what the
Mercedes plant pays.  I do know that the Toyota plant in KY

Do You Know
  Where Your Car is Made?
  
Listed
below are 75 American-made automobiles. Each vehicle listed
is built with union labor. But regardless of how you may
feel about the labor movement in general, the fact remains
that foreign automakers producing in the U.S. predominantly
assemble their automobiles in low-wage states like Alabama
and Kentucky, where American-owned automakers (Ford and
General Motors) predominantly produce in high-wage union
states like Michigan. 
This author has
nothing against any state in our great country. We are all

relatively unknown facts that give foreign-owned automakers
huge cost advantages over American-owned automakers.
Consider the following: 
In 1997, the state
of Alabama granted huge subsidies to Mercedes in exchange
for a plant that would employ 1,500 people. What were the
details of this huge incentive package? $300 million in tax

Good advice, Rick. A reputable local trans shop is the way I'd go,
too.

Ditto on your gear ratio selection... The 2.73 won't cut it with
the overdrive trans. I had 3.08 gears in my '66 wagon w/700R4
trans, and it never was in its "sweet spot" while cruising @ 70
mph. Changed to a 3.42 and the motor is a lot happier, plus
mileage picked up about 1.5 - 2 mpg to boot! Since less throttle
is now required to maintain any given speed, I had to reprogram
the ECM for my Holley FI system, but it was only small tweaks in
the light cruise mode.

Overdrives in CA. So where are you located would be a good thing
to know.

Also with 2.73 gears and overdrive you'll be cruising at 1200RPM
(more or less) - probably not the sweet spot for most motors. I am
running 3.31 gears and cruise right at 1700 RPM - 3.73 would
probably be better for me.

[Chevelle-list] How to sell a Chevelle

[Larry Shaw]

I have a 1972 Malibu Convertible that I have owned since 1987.

 

My son and I have done some work on it and I've had some done
professionally.  We've decided to consider selling it to free space in my
garage and look at other projects.

 

We've had a lot of the rust replaced with patch panels and a new front floor
pan.  It has a relatively new paint job, new upholstery, and a new top.  It
does need some additional work with new rust issues with the rear seat floor
pan and trunk floor pan.  It also has a need to replace the top frame on the
windshield where the top attaches because of rust.

 

How can we establish a value and what is the best way to try to sell the
car?

 

All of the drive train components are original.  For the last several years,
it has been garaged.

 

We are located in the Seattle area.

My ’65 Malibu with power steering wanders, the steering wheel does not

This is right after a front end rebuild (Moog parts) and disc brake 
installation (from True Connections) and new 14x5 steel wheels (Wheel 
Smith) with one inch less backspace than stock to clear the new 
brakes. Before all this, it was 100,000 mile loose, but normal.


I figured the alignment guy used too much negative caster but that 
turned out not to be the case. 1964 to 1967 Chevelle caster specs are 
zero to minus 1.5 degrees with minus .5 recommended for mine. It is 
now at positive .7 and still wanders.


Does anyone know what I am missing? Can two inch wider track cause 
this problem?

sway bar (like I really needed more old parts).  The car did wander, and 
I noticed about 1 1/2 to 2" play in the steering wheel.  I remembered 
that the mechanic stated that he tightened the steering box.  This was 
going thru my head as I'm driving to the shop.  Part of the work order 
was for them to weld the coupler to the steering column where it 
connects to the rag joint.  This piece is pressed on at the factory, and 
was loose.  I actually had the car towed to the shop because of this.  
Drivable but dangerous.  If I fails you crash.  When I picked the car up 
I didn't look at the coupler to see if it was welded.  When I arrived 
back at the shop, I opened the hood and didn't see any weld.  I scooped 
up the sway bar and asked the mechanic about the welding and got a blank 
stare.  He asked the shop owner and he didn't know if it had been done.  
I dung out the receipt and the welding was the second item on the 
instructions.  The owner said he dropped the ball and appollogised  (sp).
The mechanic welded up the piece and I went on my way.  The car drove 
perfect.  Will I go back to the shop?  Yes.  Why?  Because I like them 
and they are honest.  But I will go elsewhere for alignments.


Today is cruise day.  It's a beautiful day in the Calif central valley.  
But first I'll put the car on the lift and check some bolts...

Did this only once years ago at Simpicity lawn tractor dealer.  Asked 
them to do a complete rebuild on my tractor engine.  I put my rebuilt 
on the tractor, had an instant rod knock, they said I stressed the 2" 
crank bearing when tightening the alt belt and caused a rod knock - 
impossible I told them.  This went on the whole summer.  The credit

impossible for me to have damaged a bearing by tightening the belt 
causing a rod knock.  Briggs and Stratton stepped in, made the 
Simplicity dealer install a brand new engine and I still only paid 
the initial rebuild cost.

Hi Larry,

My '65 also came back recently from getting all new front end stuff 
and it also wanders. It feels like I'm driving down the center of a 
high-crowned road and whenever you turn a little, it wants to turn 
even more and it does not return to center.
I suspect the alignment folks dialed in too much negative caster, the 
spec for a '65 SS is 0 to -.5 degree. For other '65 Chevelles it is 
-.5 to -1.5 degrees. More caster makes them track straight.


Thanks,

   Dan, I had a proffesional inspector look at a Camaro I was interested in a 
while back because I did not have the time to make the 6 hr drive. I am so glad 
I did. For less than $200, I got a full and thoroug inspection. Many, many 
things that the owner or pictures did not reveal. That saved me $1000's in the 
long run.

But you will probably need to go up just a small bit in plug heat 
range.  Or if you can find one in a very close but slightly hotter 
heat rance a Commercial (Heavy equipment/Heavy duty line) plug will 
usually stand up better. Autolite is very good and used to make a 
Commercial set of plugs for lots of different combinations.  Maybe 
look in C-60 BBC truck engine line.

You know, I assume the racing plug are in the cool range, and they may

[Chevelle-list] Automotive Lift

[Larry Hickman]

The side walls are 16', so height is not an issue.  
 
Jerry, I live in NW MO. I am also planning on radiant floor heat, so anything 
you have learned, I would appreciate. What is the fuel source for your boiler 
?  My options for fuel are propane, waste oil, and a corn burning furnace.
 
Thanks, Jerry, Eric & John
 


Hi Larry...

I built a new garage a few years ago and installed a Back Yard Buddy four post 
lift.  Lift is great, works well.  You will need 11' - 12" ceiling clearance.  
Not sure if I would do a four post again.  Might have more flexibility with a 
two post.  Don't know where you live but I live in cold country so I installed 
in floor heat driven by a boiler system and that is great for the winter.  Can 
keep the temp at 55-60 and it is comfortable.

Good luck,

Jerry Wells
 
Build your building with 12' walls.  My dad's garage has 10' walls and you 
cannot take his four post lift all the way up (with a vehicle on it.)

Eric

My friend Jack put in a two-post and it works great. I've had my El Camino on 
it many times. I don't remember what brand it is. If you want something that 
doesn't take up space while you're not using it, try leaving the car on the 
lift!

I gave Tom Rightler a catalog 
 
 
You may also want to look at waste oil heaters, especially if it's going to be 
an unattached building. The heaters are not cheap but the fuel is free.





  

[Chevelle-list] Automotive Lift

[Larry Hickman]

I am in the planning stages of building a shop for my farm and hopefully to do 
some work on classic cars too. I am considering different options for a lift. 
Would really like something that is not taking up space when not in use. Any 
opinions, do's, don'ts, experiences, etc ?  All advice is welcome. Thanks in 
advance.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Time for a new engine!

[Larry Williams]

I had a 454 stroked to 496 with a Eagle kit.  The compression is close 
to 9.7 to 1.  The cam is a Comp Cams hyd roller 11-450-8.  Edelbrock 
RPMs.  A 800 cfm Edelbrook AFB.  The engine is smooth, has good vacuum, 
and has unbelievable torque and power.

Hey everyone,

Well for the last few months my Chevelle has been backfiring and 
running like crap. I finally figured out what the deal was 
yesterdayThe exhaust valve on #8 is burnt. The motor is old and 
tired. So I'm going to rebuild it.


So any idea's for engine combo's?  I don't have a bunch of money to 
spend on this but I would like to bump up the performance of it. Right 
now it's a really stock 454, 8:1 compression. I'm thinking about 
bumping up the compression to 9:1, adding a cam, and if I can afford 
them, maybe some aluminum heads. I think that would really waken up 
this motor. But basically this is a street car that's cruised 99.9% of 
the time. So I want the drive-ability.



Anybody else care to chime in?

Thanks!

 Use two screw drivers or any desired method to spread

efficiency.

I would also recommend a double pumper and not vacuum secondary.

It was shipped to a truck depot in Stockton CA - about 30 miles from my

a little rough until the lifter bleeds down.*

*I would suggest turning all valves to zero lash, no ticking. Then
turn all valves a ¼ turn and let it recover. Keep doing this until

  Thanx all.   I had to search all over town for the correct
seals.   City of 100K with how many chevy/gmc pickups and no
one stocks the O-Ring seals.  Well almost no one.I did 1
cylinder just to get the hang of it & frankly it was pretty
easy.I took a bit of time to get the hang of the  Lisle
Valve Spring Tool but its really simple to use.   I had to
spend time with Mom today but I'll finish in the AM.
 
BTW - Speaking of valve adjustment:   Is 1/4 turn after slop

is out of pushrod/rocker enough of a preload.  Hydraulic
roller lifters.

That may work if you already have them adjusted, but
if you do it that way initially after having the
rocker arms off, you might damaged the lifters or the
camshaft. If the rockers are too tight, you risk
wiping out cam lobes.

Replacement ?

I like to adjust the valves with the motor warm
and running.  Back each one off, one at a time,
then tighten 1/4 turn past when they stop
clattering.  An old valve cover with the top cut
off comes in handy.  They used to sell clips that
attached to the rockers and plugged the push rods
to keep the mess down.  You can do each side in
about a minute that way.

You don't need to bring each cylinder up.  The
pressure from the hose is plenty to keep up. 
Bring #1 up so it so it's on the firing

position before you do anything and leave the
engine rest there.  Makes it much easier to
readjust the valves once you're done.  It's a
pretty straightforward job.  Should take about
an hour.  When you remove the rocker arms and
have the tool in place, compress the spring,
pull the keepers off, then release the

Re: [Chevelle-list] Car Collection

Beautiful cars.  But, in a way, it's sad.  They will sit there, not 
driven and enjoyed, just collecting dust and fueling the mans ego, and 
then he or someone else, will take them to Barrett Jackson, and sell 
then to another collector, who will let them sit - like a  401K.

Re: [Chevelle-list] BB Motor Mount Question

[Larry Williams]

For those who are interested, I decided to notch the rear of the cross 
member to accommodate the current mounting.  We are using a die grinder 
and will cut out the rear face going back about 1 1/2" and weld back in 
the original piece with a small gusset on the side.  The width is right 
up to the motor mount on the cross member - close to 12".  I think it 
will be clean and strong.

The front engine mount is more than a 1" back from the stock location,

from SB to BB I do not recall changing the front mounts, but I may be

If the hoses are 4 years old replace. If the fan is belt driven make sure it
is not slipping. Again if it is a few years old replace. If you have an
electric fan put a thermometer in the radiator and see when the fan kicks

Re: [Chevelle-list] Distributer

[Larry Williams]

Just loosen the distributor bolt, pick it up, and turn it clockwise to 
the next gear tooth, and drop it in.  If it doesn't drop all the way in, 
rotate the engine and it will drop in when the oil pump gear aligns.  
Fire it up and set the timing.  If it way off, go back the other way and 
use the same method.

[Chevelle-list] 5.7 L Hemi

[Larry Hickman]

For anyone out there that may happen to have a 5.7L Dodge hemi, there is a 
problem with the valve springs. My '04 with 80K miles swallowed a valve as a 
result of the valve spring breaking. The good news is Chrysler did stand behind 
it and paid for all but $500 of the repairs, even though out of warranty. If 
you are driving hemi of or near this vintage I would suggest having the valve 
springs upgraded. FYI
