I lurk a lot and have come to appreciate the wealth of knowledge on this list. My problem is my 96 SeaRay OMC. She has been sitting up too long (My wife wanted a pontoon) and when I went to fire her up for the summer ski season, the float, needle valve etc... seems to be gummed up. I have gas pouring out the top etc... Anyone have any neat suggestions on a way to curb this problem without tearing it down or sending it to the dealer? Maybe take the fuel line loose and spray it slam full of gumout and let it soak? Harm? I just feel if I can get it running well enough it will eventually clean itself up. Ed EFMF Auto Page

Re: [Chevelle-list] Heater vent thermostat source?
I was replacing the heater core on my 66 this weekend. The heater thermostat that sits in the heater box is mounted on a piece of cardboard-like material. When removing the heater box this cardboard disintegrated. Is there any place to buy a replacement thermostat? Has anyone else run into this problem before? Thanks. Rob S.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Original Keys
Krister, I have the original keys for my '66. One side is stamped "GM Your Keys to Success." The other side is stamped "Briggs & Stratton Corporation, Milwaukee, Wis." I would guess that the Racine stamp on your keys is for the dealership that sold the car.

[Chevelle-List] CA Legislative Alert - S.B. 708
I just received this in an email from Hagerty Insurance. If you live in California you should write your senator to stop this : quote: CA Senate Reintroduces Legislation to Repeal Old Car Emissions Exemption The Specialty Equipment and Manufacturers Association (SEMA) recently sent the Hagerty Protection Network the following California Legislative Alert to share with our customers. If you have any questions regarding this alert, please contact Sydney McManus, Hagerty Protection Network Legislative Director at 800-922-4050, x8787 / [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Steve McDonald, SEMA Director of Government and Technical Affairs at [EMAIL PROTECTED] URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT Legislation to Repeal Old Car Emissions Exemption Introduced AGAIN in California Senate As predicted, legislation has been reintroduced in the California Senate to repeal the state's current rolling emissions test exemption for vehicles 30 years old and older. S.B. 708 repeals the current pro-hobbyist exemption and replaces it with an exemption for vehicles that are 45 or more model years old commencing January 1, 2005. We Urge You to Contact Your State Senators Immediately to Oppose S.B. 708 Existing law in California exempts all pre-1974 vehicles from emissions testing until 2003. After 2003, vehicles 30-years old and older are exempt from emissions testing. California's current emissions testing exemption recognizes the minimal impact of vehicles 30-years old and older on vehicle emissions and air quality. Vehicles 30-years old and older constitute a small portion of the overall vehicle population and are a poor source from which to look for emissions reduction. Antique and classic vehicles are overwhelmingly well-maintained and infrequently driven (about one-third the miles each year as a new vehicle). Legislators and regulators are feeling the heat from a failed effort to meet air quality goals and are looking for a convenient scapegoat. The old car hobby should not carry the burden of their mistakes! Please contact your state senators to oppose S.B. 708. To find out who your state senators are, contact the California Senate general information line at 916/445-4311 or you can access this information via the Hagerty Protection Network website, "Advocacy Avenue" section at http://www .hagerty.com/advocacy/adv_sections.asp?z=contact or by emailing or calling Sydney McManus, Hagerty Protection Network Legislative Director, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 800-922-4050, x8787. Please email a copy of your correspondence to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or fax a copy of your letters to SEMA at 202/783-6024 Attn: Steve McDonald/Brian Caudill. Thank you for keeping the hobby strong!

[Chevelle-List] Help with 66 tailpipe hangers.
Thanks to everyone that Gave me advice on getting the stock ex. man. in. I unbolted the motor mount today on the driver side, lifted the motor up about an inch or so and the manifold slipped right in. It was pretty easy to do. Now I have a question that I hope someone can help with. I installed my Gardner Exhaust system today. My 66 was built in Oct. 65 and has the long tailpipes. I can't seem to figure out how the tailpipe hangers are supposed to fit. Neither the assembly manual nor the chassis service manual are any help. Does someone have a close-up photo they could send me or a link on their web site? Thanks. Rob S. http://www.geocities.com/rte66ss/Robs1966SS396.html --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Help installing Exhaust Manifold.
Okay, so it looks like I will have to lift the
motor on one side. After I loosen the motor mount where do I place the
jack to lift it? I've never done lifted the motor in this manner, so I
need some help. Thanks.
