Re: [Chevelle-list] New Ford Plant
The jobs went away because of the UAW. Unions were a good thing at their inception, but they have completely outlived their usefulness. As a business owner, I understand that you need to constantly cut costs to be competitive. In manufacturing, labor is a huge part of the cost of production. Labor costs have to be passed on to the consumer. Union greed and an ever-increasing entitlement mentality are the things killing manufacturing in this country, not the manufacturers or the government.

[Chevelle-list] I40 convoy update
I haven't had many responses from folks who are going, and more than I would like to have from folks who aren't. So here we are, a week and one day from the start of the convoy, and I need to know who's in who's not. This way we'll know when everyone's at the Shell station in Lonoke and ready to hit the road for G'ville. The responses I've received all want to leave Lonoke around 9:00 AM so we can miss the traffic in Nashville. Everyone's OK with the Cajun Catfish Restaurant to eat lunch. Please email your cell phone numbers to me so I can make a list of them to give out. If you have walkie talkies, bring them too. I'll do a couple more updates, the last one next Tuesday night. BillL
[Chevelle-list] Cat herding time
Okey dokey, it's time to start organizing the 2010 I-40 Eastbound convoy to Chevelleabration 10. We'll be leaving on Wednesday, June 9th. I'm sending this email to all the folks who have participated in the past. Please email me back to confirm if you're going or not. The plan from previous years has been to meet at the Lonoke AR exit, leave there at 10:00 AM, drive to Memphis to eat at the Cajun Catfish Resturaurant and hook up with the Memphis group, then head to Nashville. There have been some ideas about starting earlier from Lonoke in order to get to Nashville earlier to beat the rush hour traffic. Instead of leaving Lonoke at 10:00 AM, we could leave at 9:00 and get there an hour sooner. Let me know your thoughts on this, please. Last year the travelling folks stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites at 4306 McCain Blvd in North Little Rock.

I can look for other places to stay if you need me to. Is the Cajun Catfish Restaurant still OK with ya'll? The food and the parking are great, we'll be there a little earlier, so the service should be faster and we can head out to Nashville sooner. Can't wait to see ya'll again. BillL

Re: [Chevelle-list] A different Type of Question
Nitrogen filling stations cost upwards of $5000. The folks who buy them need a return on investment, so they tout the benefits of nitrogen so they can sell it to you. To my knowledge, there is no research that shows any thing that makes it worth the money that the consumer spends. It's a profit center (once the machine is paid off) for the business that buys the equipment, nothing more. Racing teams use nitrogen to fill the tires so that they can have a consistent rise in temperature and pressure because of the lack of moisture in the tire. Street tires don't need it.

[Chevelle-list] 67 shifting
Gentlemen and Ladies Before I get those “check the forum section”, or the “check your factory assembly book” replies. No, I haven”t done either yet. I'm going to ask for the “been there done that” crowd! And links to the first option mentioned . Background: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu ( bench seat replaced with 99 Grand Am electric bucket seats ), with a 283 2 barrel replaced with a 1984 305 topped off with an Edlebrock Torker aluminum intake manifold and a Rochester 4 barrel. Originally a powerglide, I'm now running a 700R4 overdrive (non electric) column shifted. I have a spare steering column I've removed the shifter from and filled the hole. I have an automatic transmission console, shifter and shift cable. Yes, you've guessed it, while gutted, I want to convert it to a floor shifted automatic with the console. What I really hope to get are tips and tricks for this project, that and maybe a template for cutting the hole for my shifter cable. I figure this is a great winter project(heated garage). I wanted to get it done before installing sound deadener , carpet seats, etc. . As I was saying, I'm getting ready to “gut” the cabin of the car, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

[Chevelle-list] Long vs. Short Water pump
I am building up a 396 for my 67 Chevelle and wondering whether the long or short water pump is preferable. In an effort to keep weight down, I want to go with an aluminum pump. What is the difference? With the standard mounts and core support - I would like to use an aluminum 4 core radiator - is there and clearance problem? Bill
Re: [Chevelle-list] Long vs. Short Water pump
Thanks - great advice Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2008 11:06 AM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Long vs. Short Water pump While 3-core or 4-core is a common term, radiators only have 1 core. It's the number of cooling tubes you're concerned with. Due to size constraints with either water pump setup I don't think you'll find a 4-tube aluminum radiator; more likely a 2-tube design of 1-inch tubes. A short water pump was used in 67. While you can use a later long pump it will limit clearance with a thicker radiator and will require all the brackets, braces, and pulleys for a long pump. Long pumps are 1.25 to 1.50 inches taller than short pumps. I had a 69 engine in my 67 with a long pump and wound up with about 2-inches between the fan and radiator after having to use a 1/2-inch fan spacer to allow the fan blade clearance from the accessories. And that was with a stock 3-row radiator. With a 2-tube aluminum radiator (usually 2-inches thick; 2 rows of 1-inch tubes) the space was cut to about 1/2-inch. Enough to cause one to have to remove the radiator in order to get the fan off because there wasn't room to get a wrench on the fan bolts. Any thicker radiator may cause clearance problems. If I were doing it over again, I'd use the short pump setup if you have factory p/s, alt, A/C, brackets, braces and pulleys. I used a March system that allowed for a later one-piece style p/s pump but it included all the brackets and pulleys.

Re: [Chevelle-list] DISC BRAKE CONVERSION PART II + ignition ?
Take out the #1 plug, put your finger over the plug hole and bump the motor over until you feel air rushing out. That will tell you that the timing pointer is on #1 compression stroke. The #6 hole and #1 are 180 degrees apart in the firing order so compression for one is exhaust for the other. Therefore, the timing pointer could be at 10 degrees but for #6 instead of the #1 hole. I hope I didn't make it more confusing.

Re: [Chevelle-list] removing filler neck from gas tank
Steve, As has already been said, the filler neck is welded to the tank. Well, not really; it's soldered to the tank, not welded. You could take a propane torch and heat the tank enough to break the solder joint and take it out like that. Before you do, please have someone there with a video camera so that if the tank blows up we can watch it on YouTube. :-D (Please Lord, make anyone who reads this understand that it's a joke.) BillL

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel gauge test
Never do resistance readings with current flowing through the wire. Resistance is measured with the key off, voltage with key on. BillL At 10:46 AM 5/11/2008, you wrote: If you put an ohm meter between the lead from the gauge to the sending unit you should get a reading between 0 and 90 OHM with the ignition on. 0 would be an empty tank 90 a full tank . Using a floor jack lower and raise the back of the car. If you get different readings the sending unit is good. If this fails check the ground to your instrument cluster. There should be 12 volts to the other side of the gauge. Jim
[Chevelle-list] I-40 Eastbound Convoy
It's May 3rd, time to begin the planning for the convoy to Chevelle-a-bration in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. I'm sending this email to the participants in the '06 convoy and some other folks to get a head count and to tell ya'll about a new event happening Tuesday night in North Little Rock. Last year the travelling folks stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites at 4306 McCain Blvd in North Little Rock. Here's the website- http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hotel/litmb?rpb=hotelcrUrl=/h/d/hi/1/en/hotelsearchresults This is a nice place with easy access to I-40 without any morning rush hour traffic hassles. The plan for now is to leave the motel a 9:00 AM on Wednesday June 4th. If we keep our speed to 60~65 mph that will put us in Memphis around noon. We'll get some lunch (is the Cajun Catfish Restaurant still OK??) and meet up with the Memphis group and head on to Nashville. Les Saville has graciously offered to feed us barbeque brisket, pork butt, and chicken with the fixings at his house on Tuesday night, June 3rd. Les's home is only a couple of miles from the Holiday Inn, and he lives on a lightly travelled street, so there won't be a problem driving your cars to his place and parking there. He will need to know how many folks are coming by Friday, May 16th so he can get the food. Any of you semi-local guys (Morrillton, Russellville, Conway, etc.) need to come over eat with us even if you're not staying in NLR that night. Water and soft drinks will be available, you're on your own for beer and other alcohol. Please email or call me with any suggestions, my cell # is 501-425-8136 (leave a message, I don't have it on very often) shop # is 501-868-5870, 9:30~5:30 Monday through Friday. I'll be posting this on Team Chevelle in the I-40 thread in the Cruise-In Forum also. Looking forward to a great time!! BillL Ark68SS on Team Chevelle

[Chevelle-list] Offset control arm shafts
I'm working on a '67 SS. Initial alignment angles were -1/4 degree camber and -3 degrees caster on both sides. There were no shims in the front arm bolt and about 1/4~5/16 shim stack on the rear bolt. All of the control arm bushings are worn out and will be replaced, along with the ball joints. I'd like to get some positive caster in the car, and I was wondering if the offset shafts will give you caster gain as well as fixing camber? I'm OK with 0~1/4 degree camber, but more caster will help stabilize the steering. TIA, BillL

Everything fit together very well and looks as it should. My problem is I can't bleed the rear brakes. I can crack the brake lines ahead of the wheel cylinders, and get fluid when the pedal is pumped, but can not get any air or fluid out of the bleeders on either rear wheel cylinder. I have completely removed the bleeder valves to look for an obstruction of some sort, and they are clear. The visible portion of the needle valve on the proportioning valve block does extend slightly when the brakes are activated, but it only moves about a 1/16th of an inch. Is this the way they are supposed to work ? The kit came with a new proportioning valve for front disk/rear drum brakes that is supposed to be correct for all GM A bodies of this era. I suspect this to be the problem, but don't know how to test it. Any ideas ? I am stumped. -- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Cam choice?
I'm not familiar with what Edelbrock advertises their cams as. I was looking at the specs on the two cams relative to each other. The cam you picked has more lift (0.560 int./0.573 exh.) and duration @ .050 (240 int./246 exh.) as well as a smaller (112) lobe separation angle. The cam I suggested has less lift (0.527 int./0.553 exh.) and duration @ .050 (224 int./232 exh.) and a wider (114) lobe separation angle. The wider LSA would give you more manifold vacuum to power things like power brakes and AC vacuum operated servos. All these factors would make the cam I suggested milder, or more street friendly, than your first choice. Like I said before; either cam would work, it all depends on what you want out of the car. Neither cam is a radical cam by any stretch of the imagination but another thing you have to consider is cubic inches. A 402 is a small big block. A larger engine (454 or larger) absorbs some of the personality of a larger cam simply because it moves more air. What is lumpy in a 454 is much more so in a 402. There are other cams available too. I just stayed within the Edelbrock line to keep things simple. Cam choice is probably the single most confusing aspect of engine building. I wasn't intentionally trying to confuse the issue with you but that is just what seems to happen when you are trying to make the correct cam choice.

Don't forget about the new USPS 13-ounce rule (any package over 13 ounces has to be taken to the customer counter at the post office). I don't know how it affects pickups. I wonder if that's nationwide or just here because we have public street mailboxes for outgoing mail... Quoting Dave Corgill [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yep, I use USPS, print my labels they pick it up. I can ship up to 70 lbs that will fit in their priority mail box for $8.95. --
Re: [Chevelle-list] MSD question O/T
I have a MSD 6AL unit in my 71 with a big block. I opened up the gap to .050. The only issue I came across is if you don't use a pliers type plug gapper you can't get the ground electrode square to the center electrode. The larger gap gives you the benefit of a larger spark kernel and a more efficient burn. The fat spark generated by the MSD ignition could jump a hundred thousandths gap without a blink. However, I'm talking about a full MSD, or equivalent, ignition system...box, coil, distributor and wires, not a box used with stock parts.

Re: [Chevelle-list] MSD question O/T
I have one and I open the gap up with a pair of pliers first. Then the tool will pull everything parallel when you gently squeeze it.

My elky is a 72. The hinges are probably very similar in design if not identical. I removed the 3 bolts holding each hinge to the door. I drove out the hinge pin and left the chassis portion attached to the body. Basically rebuilt it on the car. If you do it this way be absolutely sure to tape up the rear edge of the fender leading edge of the door. I also used a couple of old beach towels as bumpers. Also people have highly recommended marking the location of the door side hinge so you can get it close on the reinstallation.Rebuilding the hinge was easy (once I got the drill spring tool) , it was the reinstallation and realignment of the door which took time. And finally, on my 72 at least, I it looks like I could have rebuilt the lower hinge without completely removing the door. But it was impossible to reinstall the hinge pin on the upper because of interference with the door sheetmetal. Lastly, if you do rebuild yours, make sure that the flutes at the head of the hinge pin are not too long. They should only be long enough that they engage the metal of the hinge not pass into the bushing.If I find my camera I'll post pictures.

[Chevelle-list] 1967 Chevelle power brake conversion
Hey Folks I've got a 67 Malibu (former rust bucket) with non power drum brakes. i was fortunate a couple years ago to pick up the parts for a front disk conversion. I'd gotten the disks and calipers installed with allot of help from Rick Schaefer ( thanks again Rick). the conversion made a world of difference in braking but i always wanted to convert to power brakes. i picked up a booster (i forget where) and have just gotten around to installing it today. my first question is has anyone done this conversion before? I'm sure someone has. is there a tech section article on this swap? did you have any problems? I'm having a heck of a time getting the return spring back on. i used the push rod that came with the booster, i hope i don't have to pull this all back down and swap any parts. something tells me i should have done this with the seats out of the car -- Bill Bradley http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/chevellerestoration/ 67 Chevelle Malibu 305/700R4 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1649723 71 Triumph Spitfire http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2506950 82 Kawasaki KZ305CSR
