Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb?
Dan, I would say your fuel pump is bad. Check the fuel pump rod also. Matt - Original Message - From: Dan McIntosh To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net ; impala list ; Curt Ballsrud Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2005 8:31 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb? Hi all, today I was out driving the 63, and it started feeling like it had no power, bogging out and stuff, until it finally died on the side of the road. I had the wife bring me starting fluid, at which point it ran until the fluid dissipated. I took the line off the carb, removed the filter from the carb, and cranked the motor, no fuel shot out. So I sent her to get some gas, and dumped 5 gallons into the car (dunno the status of the gauge, it was reading half, and it seemed to work before) Shot it with the starting fluid, and it cranked right over. I drove it for about 2 minutes, then it did it again. Got out, sprayed the fluid, and started it up, I'd go to rev it up, it would die. Finally, it started back up, and ran the 35 seconds it took to get to my driveway. Also, there's a strange "knocking" noise from the motor that wasn't there before, not as loud as a rod knock, but not as quiet as a lifter tick. I don't know if this is coincidental or not. Any ideas? Thank you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb part 2
I would suggest getting the Holley pump. Better quality in my opinion. Just my 2 cents. Matt - Original Message - From: Dan McIntosh To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 8:30 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb part 2 Well guys, After school today, I removed the fuel pump from the motor, then took off the back plate so I could inspect the push rod. Everything with the pushrod looked good, and I stuck it in the hole and had the wife crank the motor while I pushed on it with my finger. It moved back and forth following the cam lobe, about 1/2 of an inch. Does this seem correct? While I was at it, I blew air through the "tank to pump" line, until I heard air bubbling in the gas tank. So I'm assuming that line is free of obstructions. Looking back, it used to take only 3 or 4 pumps of the pedal to get the car started, lately it has been taking 40-50 pumps, after sitting for a few days, that is. Also, nobody around here seems to stock the pump that I need, in fact, the young kid at Auto Zone pulled it up on his computer and then brought out an electric inline pump. When I pointed to the box, and told him mine looked like the mechanical pump pictured, he said, "let me ask this guy" referring to a co-worker, who's response was, "I think that's an EGR valve" So I'm going to NAPA tomorrow in hopes of them having one, if they don't, I'll be on my way to Summit Racing for the Holley pump. - Original Message - From: Krister Meister To: The Chevelle Mailing List Cc: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 1:40 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb?

A pusher should pull that temp down at least ten degrees which would be good for your engine and make the A/C more efficient. Also try not to ever shut down a hot engine as the temp will just climb. I believe the boiling point for 50/50 coolant is around 240. There are other factors. It sounds like your system is doing what it should for what you have. That additional fan will make everything much happier.

Re: [Chevelle-list] what size carb??
What kind of ignition system are you running? I ask this because I had a similar problem with a car I had in the past. I was running a 6AL6 box with a MSD distributor. When you would hit WOT and the small block hit 4200rpm it would fall on its face. It was just like you shut the key off. When you let off the gas it would take off again. Once it hit 4200 rpm it would do it again. It turns out that I didn't have a good enough ground between the engine and frame. I bought a 1 inch wide stainless ground strap and WHAAALLLA! Problem solved. Not sure if this applies in your case but it would sure be worth a try. My next questions would be this. Are you running a stock fuel pump? Are you running the old original fuel lines? Have you checked the filter? How old is the fuel line to the carb? You could very well be running out of gas at WOT. Suggestions: Install a 3/8 SS fuel line from the tank to the carb. Install either a HP mechanical fuel pump or an electric fuel pump. Check fuel filter. Make sure you old fuel line is not collapsing and install new fuel line to carb. Just my 2 cents.

A good quality set of shocks will make a huge difference, as will modern rubber. I have the Global West setup with really wide (275/40/17 tires) and it is stiff and likely out-handles your old 3000GT. You could use the air bags to get an adjustable ride height and find reasonable tires and some great shocks. Or, try it with the current springs, Koni or Bilstein shocks, and see what you think. If you don't plan to push the car really hard, then you can save a lot by keeping the stock A-arms and brakes, and just using moderate tires/wheels (maybe 16x8 with 245/50/16 tires?). If you like a lower stance, or low profile tires, then that will dictate other choices. TireRack.com has lots of tires specs where you can see the diameter of the tire and see if this is close enough to what you want. I have found that modern shocks make a huge difference, with tires coming in next in importance, then everything else.

am putting together. I want to run the widest tires on the back I
possibley can without making the car look silly. I am curious as to what
size tires, wheels and backspacing everyone is running.
Thanks Matt

Re: [Chevelle-list] PQ (premium quality) Chevelle bumpers
How much would a set for a 70SS bumpers cost? Thanks Matt - Original Message - From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 5:28 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] PQ (premium quality) Chevelle bumpers Hi everybody, Just wanted to pass along some info. DII is now offering a "PQ" (premium quality) line of Chevelle bumpers. I'll be adding them to my web site (oldcarnetwork.com), hopefully as soon as today. These can be drop-shipped, so there are never delays unless there is a national backorder (in which case it would be hard to find them anywhere else either). Also, some of you may have noticed that I have been dropping the small-dollar items like decals and manuals, glovebox liners, hood insulation, door panel watershields, small hardware items, etc. I also dropped certain suppliers for being slow to ship, poor communication, too many backorders, and things like that. Many of the items that are currently on clearance sale are being discontinued once they are sold out. Hopefully things will be trimmed down and flowing more nicely over the next couple of months.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Survey on Wheels
I was wanting to run at least 275/60's on the back with at least 8 inch wheels. I thought of going with a 10 inch wheel with a 295/50 but I was afraid that would be to much. I plan on running 215/60's on the front with a 7 or 8 in wheel.

Front I have American Racing 15 x 7? and rear American Racing 15 x 8.5?. Tires are 215?s in front and 235?s in rear, tires are Goodrich T/A?s. I?ve experienced really good traction, and good ride with this setup. I think from you email you are probably looking for something much larger in size. This was just my two cents for what it was worth.

Congrats Ryan. Matt - Original Message - From: Ryan Langstraat To: Chevelle Chat Forum Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 11:37 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) I was wondering if someone with a parts interchange manual would do me a favor and tell me what the rear end in my Chevelle originally came in. On the flanges on the differential is stamped: 3959038 NF and on the other side is GM 57. On the axle housing, passenger side is stamped KD0633. Is it from a truck?? I went to the parts store and bought a few control arm bushings for a 12 bolt Chevelle and they fit right in. Any help you guys could give me would be appreciated. Happy fathers day to all of you dads. We just found out we have a little one on the way in February!

Not much to look at right now. Frame is out from under it and getting ready to paint the frame. Motor and transmission are built for it. I think a 454 bored 30 over should move it down the road ok. It has good heads on it with a 580 lift cam.

[Chevelle-list] 66 Rearend in 70 Chevelle
Hey guys, I picked up a 66 12 bolt posi rear for my 70 chevelle. I know the 66 rear is narrower than the 70. My question is this. The mounting for the coil springs are different on the rear. What holds the springs on the rear? The 66 has a flat plate with a hole in the middle. Is there a bracket to hold the coil springs? Thanks in advance. Matt
