[Chevelle-list] heater control cable clips

[wcross9844]

List

I'm trying to re-install my heater box on my 1970 LS6. I have somehow lost all 
the "clips" that hold the control cables in place. They look like tiny split 
washers and they may be know as a "spring clip". My assembly manual calls them 
"cable nuts" or "spl. nut". I have tried all the regular places like Ground up, 
year one and the local NAPA stores. 

Anybody have any suggestions as to where I can find these hard to locate parts?

I'd love to, but court orders prevent you from doing things like this. Besides I just painted the frame and all I have on my car lift is a frame with a rear end. no front suspention yet, so I can't go anywhere. And now all my money is tied up in court. Feels like I'm standing on the center divider of a major highway buck naked. Or is it how a deer feels just before being "jacked"

Re: [Chevelle-list] 70-72 cowl induction setup

[WCross9844]

John

Are you talking about the little rod off the accerator that goes to an electrical 
switch? As you know, there are actually 2 separate systems here1 which is all 
vacummwhich when you stomp on the gas closes the flapper on the hood. There is a 
vacumm pod under the hood that goes to a ported outlet on your intake just behind the 
card. There is also a check valve in this hose too. The second system is the 
electrically activated flapper which is not seen because its inside and under the 
outside flapper that you do see. There is like a kick down switch above the gas pedal 
that when you stomp it it is electrically connected to a selonoid on the hood that 
opens the second flapper. 

Sorry John, I'm doing this all from my memory. When I get home tonite I can look to 
see if I can find what you are looking for.

Re: [Chevelle-list] timing chain

You should use a gear puller. I've also heard that a good tap on a chisel in a few places will break it too. 

Then on the other side, you should also use a gear pusher to put the gear back on. Heavy pounding on the end of the crank can do damage.

Re: [Chevelle-list] LS6 Chevelle info

[WCross9844]

Thanks for the replies about LS6's. I've had mine since 72, but it's been off the road 
since the 80's. I started to do some work to it and it slid to the back of my garage 
while I worked on other projects. (it was the "keeper") Then you get married, have 
kids etc, but now I'm trying to bring her back to life. But last year a strike really 
stopped everything. But a new year is comming and so I'm hoping to get her back on the 
road this year. 

So when I see this LS6 for sale in Florida I had to ckeck it out. IIRC when you 
ordered a LS6 package, you could not get ANY other power options like air or power 
steering. And the disc brake was a manditory option when you ordered the LS6 option. 
So when I saw this car on ebay with air and the person was "pretty sure" it was an 
LS6, I had to re-check my memory because this probably wasn't an "as advertised" LS6.

Thanks guys !!

[Chevelle-list] LS6 Chevelle info

Merry Christmas guys !

There is a "LS6 Chevelle" listed on ebay thats for sale in Florida. My memory is 
fading, but didn't GM sell LS6's without any power options (other that the manditory 
disc brakes) such as air and power steering? Or were there LS6's that came with air. I 
thought that the air option was only availible on LS5's and down.

Curious minds (or is that a fading mind) are wondering.   Thanks

Re: [Chevelle-list] front sheetmetal removal.

[WCross9844]

Andre

I've taken the nose off a few times myself. The best way ( I think) is to keep it in 
one piece. here is a way to do it.

 1). remove the hood. but mark or scribe around the hood 
 hinges 1st. It will help line the hood up later.

 1A). remove the radiator.

 2). unbolt a bolt at the top rear of each fender. its in 
  the cowl area.  IIRC

 3). there is also a bolt behind/under the hood hinge

 4). there is 1 or 2 bolts at the bottom of the rear of 
the fender. these are the hardest due to rust. use 
lots of penetrating oil.

 5). there is one body/bolt combo at the front of the 
 fender by or next to the radiator support.

  6). remove the wireing harness as it hooks to the 
  firewall. Its like a 5/16 bolt.

 7). check for wiper hoses and such before you pull 

 8). USE LOTS OF TAGS AND TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES! SAVE ALL SHIMS AND KEEP THEM 
WITH EACH BOLT OR FUTURE ALIGNMENT WILL BE A PITA. !!

I would not remove the nose if there is a lot of rust and large holes in the lower 
rear  fenders. You will only make thing worse.

But once the nose is off, there is tons of room to work and clean everything up.

hope this gets you goingI hope I didn't miss anything

Bill C

an assembly manual will show this better, but if you check it out, you'll be able to 
do it. Get a freind to help pull it off. It will come up a little, then forward and 
you tilt the rear up and over the wheels.

Re: [Chevelle-list] race track events

[WCross9844]

Ah, the joy of speed at a race track...what more could you ask for. That 
reminds me of a track event I was part of 20 years ago. The local Corvette 
club I belonged to was advertizing for an upcomming show. We were able to talk 
the local race track into letting us do some pace laps just before the big race. 
The track even let us park inside the gate in a roped off area right behind 
the start/finish line. 

We were to do 5 laps at a slow pace. But they didn't place a pacecar out 
there with us. So here we go all 25 of us in a double row. Lap 1 was at about 20 
mph..by lap three we were really moving. By lap 4 I knew what "diving into 
the corner" meant. As we dove into turn 1 I glanced down at my speedo and saw 
about 90 mph. Then the track threw the yellow lights on and made us stop. One 
of the other guys said he hit 120 on straight. Needless to say we all had big 
grins on our faces all nite !!!

The following weekend we went to a second racetrack, but they had heard what 
we did and they were VERY stern with us about speed. They had a pacecar and 
every track car and tow truck was on the track to keep us in line. We never got 
over 20 mph.  :(  Damn, no fun

The need for speed continues

Re: [Chevelle-list] paint remover for fiberglass?

[WCross9844]

I found a paint remover that works very good on corvettes. I've used this stuff quite a bit and compared to several paint removers I have used over the years.this is what to use.

 Captain Lee's
  Auto Spra'-Strip
  Paint remover

You can order it by phone  SPRA'-STRIP, inc  at 800-421-9498 or 615-883-5707

The last time I ordered some, it came fairly quick. It is not overly strong, but gloves and glasses must be used. You do a small section at a time...say 2' by 2' and it will remove paint a coat at a time. It is then neutralized by water from a squirt bottle. 

I was at Corvettes at Carlisle and they sold a kit with 2  (1) gallon containers, scotch pads, squirt bottles and cheap gloves. I bought some heavy black (I think butyl 
gloves) It even works OK on undercoating.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Nascar at Kansas

[WCross9844]

Tom

Get to the track EARLY   Some tracks aren't too bad with traffic, but 
most are slow to enter. If the race is around 1pm, try to get to the track by 9am 
or earlier. Bring munchies and drinks cause you can wait in line to get in 
for 2 or 3 hours. I was at POCONO a few weeks ago it took about 2 hours to get 
in. When I left, I moved 10 feet in 2-1/2 hours..what I usually do is check 
out all the driver "stuff" trailers and/or eat before you leave 'cause you 
gotta wait anyway. 

I've been to several tracks, but not to Kansas yet, its a new track that is 
only about 2 years old. 

Where to sit is another question..people like to sit in different areas 
so its what you like which you can only get from 'speience as DW would say. I 
like to sit near the corners near the pit entry/exit.turn 4 to pit entry is 
goodlots of action. Same on the turn 1 pit exit. I like to sit higher 
up..then you can see more action and track. But every track is a little 
different and where to sit will depent on the track. I used to go to Pocono, 
Daytona and Dover alot,  and I found good places to sit. I am now trying to go to 1 
or 2 new tracks every year until I get them all. Last year I went to Lowes 
Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600...great track and great seats !!!. and I got 
out pretty fast too. You should get your tickets NOW by calling the 
trackchecking the web. I think they are Kansas speedway.com. You can do a Google 
search or link from Nascar. I'd stay away from "Ticket" dealers as they get 
pricey. You should consider bying your tickets for NEXT year now. Same with 
hotels. Do not bring a big cooler eitherthey limit the size to about 4 cans 
only...no glass.  I also try to go to a race that has several races in the 
weekendsome races are WC only, some are Busch only...some are WC and Buschand 
some will have WC, Busch and Trucks  My favorite is Trucks... the crowds 
are MUCH smaller, its easy to get tickets right at the track, the tickets are 
cheaper and the racing is GREAT lots of "rubbing" with up and comming 
drivers plus a few old timers. 

Sorry for the long off topic rant.

 But where the heck is the "other" bung for the oil cooler hidden. I see 1 on 
the lower right, but where is the other one hiding?

Just wondering

Re: [Chevelle-List] raised white letter tires

[WCross9844]

John

I've done bothblack or raised letters. I think the trend today is blackwall. BUT, your 69 would probably look good with raised letters.  Do you have a friend with raised letters so you could "try" one side to see if you really do like it? 

If I ever get my LS6 back on the road, I planned on two sets of tires..originals ( if I can find them) for show, and probably whatever is the newest tire around for cruzin...

Re: [Chevelle-List] '70 Chevelle LS6

[WCross9844]

List

Having owned a LS6 for years, I always thought that if you ordered the LS6 option, that you could not get any other power users like a/c or power steering which would lower the 450 HP of the engine. Power brakes were part of the option and therefore the ONLY power device on the engine. 

I also thought that was one way to spot a clone.like this one on e-bay that has power steering. 

Any LS6  experts out  there that can verify this?

Your car may not have one.it's an option. If you have one, you can't miss 
it. In the front it will be a bar that connects to the botton of one a-arm 
and goes to the other a-arm. In the rear it will be connected to each lower 
control arm and crosses just under the rear end cover.

Open up the exhaust with headers and larger pipes if you haven't done that

Then maybe a little bigger cam and then upgrade your ignition with a better

Re: [Chevelle-List] offset A-arms?

[WCross9844]

Jim

Yep, back in the 70's that was the rage. I did the same thing. I did work at 
a front end shop for awhile and when you "jack it up" you change the geometry 
and mess up the stock settings. If you get it really high, it's hard to get 
the settings where they should be. 

Looks cool, but it reduces handling (alot if it's lifted higher) and wears 
tires, suspension parts and raises your center of gravity (not good).  

I do not know if off-set a-arms would help or not, but if it's a good front 
end shop, he's probably right. He sounds like he can make minimum setting, so 
that maybe OK. The springs may also settle down a few 16ths after a few 
thousand miles which will help.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear Control Arm Bushings Question

[WCross9844]

When I did my 70 I took a chisel and gave a few good whacks in the middle 
which colapses the bushing and you can then pry it out.  But I did have 
everything out and on the bench. If you jack up your rear end and support it, 
you can remove the lowers and sandblast and paint them up if you have a 
little time on your hands. 

But WATCH OUT !!!  I suddenly decided everything needs painting cause 
...while I'm there I might as well.next thing you know the rear is all 
out.  I have a bad habbit of going nuts and I loose lots of driving time. 

If you think its a 2 hour job, I multiply by 4 and thats on a good day.

There are companies making frames for older Corvettes and another company

frames. Check out modern hot rodders such as "Curries"...mayby you only need 
a "back half".  Have you tries a Google search and checked out your latest 
chevy magazine? 

New corvette frames are about 3500 dollars or so; used are about half of 
that. I'd keep an eye out for what someone else pointed out...a west or mid 
west frame. You may have to wait a few months, but you should be able to find 
one.
