[Chevelle-List] Cat removal
Hey guys, This has probably been asked before, if so I missed it, but if I have the catalytic converter taken off of my elky, will that negatively change the performance of the engine? Remember, 305,4bbl with all the stock emissions crap.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 305 to 350?
I guess sometimes things are better left alone. I want original, but I like the 350 option. Don't think any time soon the 305 will break, it's been pampered, at least since I've had it. I'm not much of a mechanic, so I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to swapping power plants. Especially with all the emissions crap they have on this thing. Thanks for the lesson Brad.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 305 to 350?
I just thought maybe, just maybe, I could get some performance out of what I already have without replacing the engine. I want to keep it original, but I'm contemplating getting a used 350 out of a smashed Camaro, or just put a 383 in it. What I really want is two El Caminos, or one El Camino and one Chevelle.

I agree Craig, but you need someone who would be willing to compile the list and archive it for anyone who requests, unless it's for trying to sell them something. Gotta be careful of spammers getting a list like that. Probably should be done off list to the person getting the info, then offered to list members only.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Safety
I had a friend that rolled his 69 Charger the day after he successfully ran from the police the night before. He never drove like that again because after he got his license back, he was scared to death to drive fast anymore. My respect goes out to the guys that have to deal with accidents on a daily basis and can still go to work the next day. Its gotta be hard thinking you won't make someone slow down and think, before they kill someone else, or themselves. crobertson1 wrote: > I've investigated three fatal accidents this year along in my > area.

Have you guys experienced old guys that want to show you how fast his Buick or Lincoln is by stepping on it at stops. I don't know what it is, but that happens to me a lot.

[Chevelle-List] Terms
Here are somer terms used that I got off a Mercury list I'm on for my sons car. If you don't know what they mean, its a lesson in car lingo. If you already do, you are ahead of me by a few years. I didn't know these a few years ago. Shaved=the taking off of all chrome pieces, door handles,molding, etc,etc. Decked=the taking off of chrome on trunk Nosed=the taking off of chrome on hood Frenched=the recessing of different parts like headlights, taillights, lic. plate box, ant., etc. Chopped=taking out inches of roof pillars to drop the top down, door frames, window glass, windsheild will all need to be cut down or reformed. Channeled=dropping the floor over the frame rails. Nosed, Decked and Shaved mean the same thing. When using Shaved to describe your car Nosed and Decked are extra words. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Chevelle-List] Right/Privilege?
When I was 16 it was a privilege to drive. My dad gave me his old car, a 65 Dodge Polara wagon with a 383 v-8,185,000 miles on it and a spun bearing. I worked at a shoe store for $1.35 an hour and spent all of my spare time rebuilding that engine so I could drive. I paid for my own gas, insurance, repairs, oil. tires, etc, etc. I thought it was a privilege to drive and I got crazy too. I was also envious of the guys that had hot rods like brand new Chevelles with 454's in them and 55, 56, and 57 Chevy's. Now most of the kids around here have newer and better cars than I do and don't even work. That's not only ridiculous, but bullsh-t. It is a privilege to be able to drive, but when abused the ones that give the privilege, have the right and responsibility to revoke that privilege. Whether you feel right, or privilege, respect the opportunity.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Stop Static
I guess this isn't something you think about, Thanks I saw a photo of a Brand new truck, burned to a crisp at a gas station/towing place. The guy said the owner just got it a few days before and tried filling a plastic gas can in the back. When he saw flames he tried to get the can out and dropped it in front of the truck...result, a toasted truck. The guy was lucky he didn't burn up too. Did make a mess of his jacket though.

[Chevelle-List] Temp?
What is a normal running temp for a 305, (ya know the lawn mower engine)? Are the stock gauges usually correct or close? I just got back from a hour and a half trip, running at 70 mph plus the whole way and it seemed it never went much over 150°. It's about 90° outside today, so it doesn't seem right. Also stopped to see an 87 Connie, they wanted $4500. It has 132,000 miles on her, but it seems to run and look pretty good.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Insurance woes
Hey Kelly, Try to get in touch with the Insurance Commission, they will move then. Insurance companies in general have become so arrogant it's ridiculous. They expect you to pay the premiums, but not expect to pay on claims. If they don't make enough money on the stock market, they raise your premiums to cover the losses. We are all in the wrong business. Always being screwed and forced to keep paying. "Kelly C.

Re: [Chevelle-List] i love muscle cars
I thought they were. I remember seeing some 69 Chevelles in the early 70's with 307's. My wife (then girlfriend ) wanted a yellow Chevelle with a 307, but her dad wouldn't co-sign for a 16 year old. She had a 65 Impala SS, convertible with a 327. "Richard M. Pruett" wrote: If your Chevelle had a 307, it's not factory; they weren't offered! Yes, my 69 has a 307.

Some people are easily discouraged when they get an attitude from older folks. Maybe they would rather have them drive foreign cars and junk the classics.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Points or Participant Voting
I think it should be different voting for different awards. For example participant trophys should be judged by participants. They are the ones that know most about the cars. There should be catagories for both. I sound like a politician. Clique voting hurts the reputation of the show and the hobby as well. 396guy wrote: > Since there is a great variety of members on the list I thought this would > be a good way to get a cross section of opinions on regional Chevelle shows. > Three of the five ACES affiliated Regional Chevelle shows are participant > judged (plus CB of course) and two are point judged. > > As the Chevelle enthusiast, which do you prefer and why?
