Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 chevelle
Let me back track. My 65 does have a vin plate on the driver side post. It has so many layers of paint I could not see it at first. Second, vin were standardized in 1979 before that each manufacture had their own system. From: chevelle-list-boun...@chevelles.net [mailto:chevelle-list-boun...@chevelles.net] On Behalf Of Trooper Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2011 6:34 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 chevelle There seems to be some confusion about the different plates we all are talking about here so here is a brief description of each to help. The 65-67 Chevelles has the VIN tag on the left front door hinge pillar. 68-72 are on the left dash visible through the windshield. This is the tag that identifies your car with the DMV for licensing, ownership, etc. It is illegal to tamper with or remove this tag. There are several places you can find the hidden VIN's on these cars. Since the frames can be changed, probably the best place would be on the fire wall under the heater blower. The tag on the left hand portion of the cowl is the trim tag. This tag gives you body build date, trim codes,Model year and ID, interior style, body color, etc. Most restorers feel this tag is also very important to the car but it will not suffice for a VIN tag with the DMV and it is not illegal to remove. The protect-o-plate is a plate that came with your classic when it was new. It came in a cardboard pamphlet in your glovebox. It was used for warrantee purposes. It is coded for all the options on your car and thus can identify an SS for 69-72 when SS was simply an option. Other Chevelles 65-68 an SS can be identified in the VIN code. The build sheets were sheets with all the specific cars options so the guys on the line knew how to build each individual car. They were to be thrown away after they were used but many guys simply stuffed them in the seats, doors, above the glove box or gas tank and anywhere else they could hide them. So if you can't find your build sheet it's because someone else did many years ago and tossed it or the guys on the line that day were doing their job correctly and disposing of your sheets correctly. These sheets have all your options on them and thus can identify a real 69-72 SS. There are other ways to identify an SS Chevelle from 69-72 such as unique paint codes, engines with matching VINs, W in the VIN of the 72's, etc. But the build sheet is the gold standard. Hope this clarifies a few things.

The fuse has nothing to do with the brakes. Check the brake light switch on the pedal bracket. The wires going to the switch maybe rubbing and grounding out.

I blow fuses randomly for the brakes, and even when I replace the fuse the brakes sometimes don't work. Then they do. Either way, the turn signals always work. This implies the wiring after the fuse block has to be pretty good and it is either the fuse block or the dash wiring. The reason I suspect the fuse block over the dash wiring is that I can play with the fuse and the brake lights will start to work or stop. Assuming it is the fuse block, am I better off replacing it with a stock fuse block, or an aftermarket one with modern fuses?

Retorqueing after thermal cycling is a good idea but not brass nuts, they are too soft and may strip out. The only reason a carbon gasket will fail is if air/exhaust is able to pass by it causing it to oxidize. I would take a real close look at your flanges. Are they lining up properly? Is there any nicks or any other imperfections in the mating surfaces that may cause mis-alinement's? You would be looking for any cuts or burrs that would damage the integrity of your sealing media. Tighten your bolts in sequence, assuring that you have a even compression of the gasket. Torque in increments 1/3 of the end result you wish to achieve and then once around to check. Whenever you touch one bolt, it changes to values of the other two. Hope this helps. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Re: [Chevelle-list] wiring question
Just a few questions. Can you start the engine? Are you sure the gauges are wired correctly? I understand your confusion, just went through this myself. I will start with the temp gauge. The sender is screwed into your block, head or manifold. This contact grounds the sending unit. The ground is not complete until it gets hot when a bimetal contact expands inside the sender. The wire to the sender goes to the back of the gauge. The other wire on the gauge goes to the fuse block and is hot in the “on” mode. In a stock GM harness several hot leads come together and are simply twisted and soldiered in a bunch with tape wrapped around it. If you have a test light check both sides of the fuse with the key on and off. If the light goes on and off at the fuse box using the key repeat the test at the back of the gauge. If the light fails at the back of the gauge try using a jumper wire straight from the fuse box. If this fails run a wire to the sending unit. If this fails replace sending unit. The secret is start where you know you have power test each link until you lose the power then back track. The sender has a float like the one in your toilet. As it goes up and down the resistance changes. Under the carpet is a flat harness that has a connector under the dash and under the back seat. The tan wire can be tested at both locations, these do not usually fail. So if you have power at the gas tank sending unit skip, testing those connections. The fuel gauge sender has one tan wire (hot) and one black ground. Check the tan wire with the test light. Turn the key to “on’ before you get under the car. If it is hot at the sender I would make sure the ground wire is good. The test light ground wire should be clipped on the sender where the normal ground wire is attached and the probe inserted into the connector on the tan wire this way you test your ground. If it fails move the ground of the test light to some part of the body. If it works then I would replace the end of the ground wire and clean all the rust around the screw hole in the body. One trip under the car is enough. If all this does not help I would suspect that you have wired the gauges incorrectly.

Re: [Chevelle-list] winter storage
Are you using a quality car cover? Many have a moisture layer. If you raise the car up use jack stands under the boxed part of the frame. I suggest using one layer of cinderblock covered by a one inch piece of plywood under the jack stand since the car is on dirt not concrete. Just use plastic sheeting from the hardware store the same kind that you would use under the house. Since there will not be any liquids in the block the temp does not matter. If the garage is connected to the house consider building a clean room using some 2x4 and plastic sheeting on wall the that is next to the house. You will be surprised how a small space heater will work in plastic lean-to. Also a halogen work light kicks off a bunch of heat.

One suggestion I can make is to place a box on the floor on the passenger side, drop the column onto the seat and place a blanket over it. Set the dash on these and make sure everything works before you bolt it back up. I had a tough time getting the dash lights to contact the repop printed circuit.
