Re: [Chevelle-list] what kind of seats are these
Sounds similar to the ones that I am going to put in the 71, not correct but
they will work, mine came out of a late 70s Grand Prix, just a guess without
pics and then I won't be for certain then. Do they have a plastic back?

Re: [Chevelle-list] what kind of seats are these
If the release button is on the side, they are either 67 or 68 seats. Metal backs would be 67, plastic backs are 68. From the material description, I would say either Buick or Oldsmobile upholstery.

Re: [Chevelle-list] What to do about bugs. (insects smashed on the car)
Years ago, I lived in Florida and every year, in the fall, we had a problem with Love bugs.

There were hundreds of thousands to be seen and hit. People did two things to protect there cars. You could buy a net fitted like an oversized ping-pong net for the front of your car to protect your paint and radiator from the acid bug juice.

[Chevelle-list] What oil to use.
I just ran across this article and found it interesting. Thought I'd pass it on. It's a little long but worth the read. OIL IS KILLING OUR CARS! By: Keith Ansell, Foreign Parts Positively, Inc. About a year ago I read about the reduction of zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) in the oils supplied with API approval that could affect sliding and high pressure (EP) friction in our cars. The reduction of these chemicals in supplied oil was based on the fact that zinc, manganese and/or phosphates reduce the effectiveness and eventually damage catalytic converters and introduce minute amounts of pollutants into our atmosphere. A month or so ago I had a member of the Columbia Gorge MG Club bring a totally failed camshaft and lifters back to me that had only 900 miles on them!! I immediately contacted the camshaft regrinder and asked how this could happen. They were well aware of this problem as they were starting to have many failures of this type. In the past, the lack of a molybdenum disulfide camshaft assembly lubricant, at assembly, was about the only thing that could create this type of problem. My customer has assembled many engines and had lubricated the camshaft properly and followed correct break in procedures. This got me on the phone to Delta Camshaft, one of our major suppliers. Then the bad news came out: It’s today’s “modern” API (American Petroleum Industry) approved oils that are killing our engines. Next call: To another major camshaft supplier, both stock and performance (Crane). They now have an additive for whatever oil you are using during break-in so that the camshaft and lifters won’t fail in an unreasonably short period of time. They also suggest using a diesel rated oil on flat tappet engines. Next call: To a racing oil manufacturer that we use for the race cars (Redline). Their response: “We are well aware of the problem and we still use the correct amounts of those additives in our products”. They continued to tell me they are not producing API approved oils so they don’t have to test and comply. Their oils were NOT the “new, improved and approved” ones that destroy flat tappet engines! “We just build the best lubricants possible”. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it, New-Approved but inferior products, but it seems to be true for our cars. To top this off: Our representative from a major supplier of performance and street engine parts (EPWI) stopped by to “warn us” of the problem of the NEW oils on flat tappet engines. This was a call that the representative was making only because of this problem to warn their engine builders! “The reduction of the zinc, manganese and phosphates are causing very early destruction of cams and followers”. They are recommending that, for now at least, there must be a proper oil additive put in the first oil used on new engines, beyond the liberal use of molydisulfide assembly lube. They have been told that the first oil is the time the additives are needed but remain skeptical that the first change is all that is necessary. Their statement: Use diesel rated oils such as Delo or Rotella that are usually available at auto stores and gas stations. This problem is BIG! American Engine Rebuilder's Association (AERA) Bulletin #TB2333 directly addresses this problem. I had a short discussion with their engineer and he agreed with all that I had been finding. OIL IS KILLING OUR CARS! Next phone call was to a retired engineer from Clevite, a major bearing and component manufacturer. First surprise was that he restored older British Motor bikes. The second surprise was that he was “VERY” aware of this problem because many of the old bikes had rectangular tappets that couldn’t rotate and are having a very large problem with the new oils. He has written an article for the British Bike community that verify all the “bad news” we have been finding. Comp Cams put out “#225 Tech Bulletin: Flat Tappet Camshafts”. They have both an assembly lube and an oil additive. The telling sentence in the bulletin was “While this additive was originally developed specifically for break-in benefits of its long term use. This special blend of additives promotes proper break-in and protects against premature cam and lifter failure by replacing some of the beneficial ingredients that the oil companies have been required to remove from the off the–shelf oil”. Next question: Now what do we do? From the camshaft re-grinders (DeltaCam) “Use oils rated for diesel use”, Delo (Standard Oil product) was named. About the same price as other quality petroleum based oils. They are not API formulated and have the zinc dithiophosphate we need in weights we are familiar with. From the camshaft manufacturer (Crane): “use our additive” for at least the first 500 miles. From General Motors (Chevrolet): add EOS, their oil fortifier, to your oil, it’s only about $12.00 for each oil change for an 8 ounce can (This problem seems to be something

Their statement: Use diesel rated oils such as Delo or Rotella that are usually available at auto stores and gas stations. This problem is BIG! American Engine Rebuilder's Association (AERA) Bulletin #TB2333 directly addresses this problem. I had a short discussion with their engineer and he agreed with all that I had been finding. OIL IS KILLING OUR CARS! Next phone call was to a retired engineer from Clevite, a major bearing and component manufacturer. First surprise was that he restored older British Motor bikes. The second surprise was that he was VERY aware of this problem because many of the old bikes had rectangular tappets that couldn't rotate and are having a very large problem with the new oils. He has written
Re: [Chevelle-list] What oil to use.
You are correct with regard to roller cams. There is an excellent article in the August 30th issue of Old Cars Weekly titled New oils and old cars. Look at the front of the oil container for the SAE donut. The current oils are API service rated SM and this is the problem oil. SL and earlier oils were backward compatatible and could be used in earlier vehicles. The article said to also avoid any oils that say Energy Conserving. The article further stated that you can use SM-type oil by adding 1/2 ounce of General Motors EOS (engine oil supplement) for each quart of SM=type oil to improve anti-wear characteristics. It also said don't add more EOS as to much is not good either. - Original Message - From: Rick Schaefer Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2007 8:32 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] What oil to use.

I just ran across this article and found it interesting. Thought I'd pass it on. It's a little long but worth the read. OIL IS KILLING OUR CARS! By: Keith Ansell, Foreign Parts Positively, Inc. About a year ago I read about the reduction of zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) in the oils supplied with API approval that could affect sliding and high pressure (EP) friction in our cars. The reduction of these chemicals in supplied oil was based on the fact that zinc, manganese and/or phosphates reduce the effectiveness and eventually damage catalytic converters and introduce minute amounts of pollutants into our atmosphere. A month or so ago I had a member of the Columbia Gorge MG Club bring a totally failed camshaft and lifters back to me that had only 900 miles on them!! I immediately contacted the camshaft regrinder and asked how this could happen. They were well aware of this problem as they were starting to have many failures of this type. In the past, the lack of a molybdenum disulfide camshaft assembly lubricant, at assembly, was about the only thing that could create this type of problem. My customer has assembled many engines and had lubricated the camshaft properly and followed correct break in procedures. This got me on the phone to Delta Camshaft, one of our major suppliers. Then the bad news came out: It's today's modern API (American Petroleum Industry) approved oils that are killing our engines. Next call: To another major camshaft supplier, both stock and performance (Crane). They now have an additive for whatever oil you are using during break-in so that the camshaft and lifters won't fail in an unreasonably short period of time. They also suggest using a diesel rated oil on flat tappet engines. Next call: To a racing oil manufacturer that we use for the race cars (Redline). Their response: We are well aware of the problem and we still use the correct amounts of those additives in our products. They continued to tell me they are not producing API approved oils so they don't have to test and comply. Their oils were NOT the new, improved and approved ones that destroy flat tappet engines!

Re: [Chevelle-list] What Motor Mounts for this Swap?
Like most rumor's, it's false. Remember there are FRAME mounts and ENGINE mounts. The 307 didn't appear until 1968 and 6-cyl frame mounts have no more in common with the 307 mounts than they do any others. You'll have to change your frame mounts for a V8 anyway. A quick parts search online shows the 305 taking a different engine mount than a 67 small block - may just be a style difference, can't say. I'd first get the correct frame mounts then ask the parts guy for engine mounts for the 305 and see if they fit the frame mounts.

Re: [Chevelle-list] What Year is Yours?
Rinky, Don't feel bad about not getting back to the old girl. Life throws us many curves. Plans made in highschool/college many times vanish. The good thing is you've held on to yours and the time will come when you can proudly put her to the streets. Sounds like you have a solid plan. I bought my 69 L78 when I was in highschool in 1975. Pulled the big block and stuffed it in a corner along with the wheels, steering wheel, console, you get the idea :) Put in a high revving 327 so I could race the locals. Six motors and 4 years later I put her in storage at my uncles farm to go to college. Twenty years later I finally came back to my home town opened shop and got her out for a frame off restore. Actually found all the parts I had pulled in 75. My dad had found them buried deep in a corner of an old shed he had torn down in the 80's and took them to my uncles, storing them neatly next to the Che. Long story short, starting my own business has been quite time consuming and 6 years later she's only about half way finished but I get a little bit done each week. It has become my way to relax, my personal time and I enjoy every minute as I inch closer to driving her again. Wow this is beginning to sound like a love story, but in reality I guess it is. I wouldn't trade or sell her for the world.

Re: [Chevelle-list] What Year is Yours?
Everyone is telling stories so I guess I will tell mine to finish off 2005! I had a failed attempt to buy a 67SS in Oklahoma City on Ebay. I lost my down payment of $2k. I had almost given up on finding a Chevelle and one Sat. morning there was an add in the paper for a 67 Malibu in a city close to me. It was an amazingly low price so I called and said DON'T SELL THE CAR UNTIL I LOOK AT IT!!! This guy had been building cars for a long time. It was a fully restored 67 Malibu but he had built it to be a driver drag car. I wrote a check in less than 5 min. after seeing the car. I have since put on all the emblems, new bumpers, grills, etc. Just the detail stuff. I knew little or nothing about the mechanics of the car as he had kept no paperwork. It has a 350 400hp engine. I could not figure out what the tranny was as it acts like 4:11's in 1st, 2nd, 3rd with a huge 4th gear where it does about 2200 rpm at 75 mph. I took off the solid aluminum Einke rims and put on Cragars a few months ago. The car looks sweet! I called the original builder and said I would give the rims back at no cost since he gave me such a sweet deal on the car. He came by and told me more about the car than I ever knew. It has 3:08 rear gears. The tranny is a Saginaw out of a truck. That explains the short first gears and the tall last gear. It is not original Chevelle parts but it is a great set up. I can light them up all the way through 3rd gear and still casually cruise down the freeway. The most important thing is that I have a beautiful 67 sitting in my garage that I drive as often as possible!

Re: [Chevelle-list] What Year is Yours?
1972 Malibu 307 - modified and in shambles (see story below) 2000 Harley XLH-883 - Never finished (if you have one, you know what I am talking about) 1995 Honda Accord (not my choice) 1993 BMW 525iTx (my German beater car - selling in 2 months) Short story--- Car was bought by my family for my sister to drive in high school back in 1981 from the original owners. Car was driven stock in its green metallic paint (not original), black vinyl top, white and black bench seat interior, 307 2bbl with TH350 shift on the tree. My sister made lots of good friends, but a lot of good enemies also. The green paint was keyed so bad and the vinyl top destroyed in about 1984, so she repainted it Corvette yellow and stripped the vinyl top. She sold it to me in 1987 for the grand total of $600 and I drove it for about 6 months in this configuration. First to go was the bench seat and column shift just because I was in high school and needed to be cool. The paint was old (she banged it up a bit) and the 307 had a knock. I scored a 327 from a local builder and had a local body shop (fellow gun club member) reshoot the yellow paint and add some black racing stripes (again, had to be cool). I grenaded the 327 6 months later (builder used incorrect bearings), chunked down the cash necessary to build a hot 350 for the car, and had the tranny reworked with a custom torque converter and shift kit in college. I drove the car in that configuration until 1997 when I went active duty, and the car was left at my father's house in central California with every intention of fetching it ASAP for a rebuild. Well, 9 years later I am still trekking the globe for Uncle Sam. A new wife, new car, two small children and one small paycheck have relegated my car to living life under my Dad's rear deck buried under a blue tarp that I replace every year or two when I am home. After 4 years in Germany I finally have a little money saved up, and the blessing of my wife (we went on our first date in that car) to rebuild it right. Plan for the car? A emblemless pro-touring g-machine with a LS1 402 stroker, 6 speed T56, 4-wheel disk brakes, and bright Corvette yellow paint with black racing stripes. Estimated time of completion: 4 years from start (with a lot of luck and a winning lottery ticket). Thanks for letting me rant - it is nice to have a group of folks to chat about my car with. Flame suit on for admitting I have a Honda. Rinky (TJR) THOMAS J. RINGLEIN, JR.

Re: [Chevelle-list] what year is yours?
Hi, I have many Chevelles, most of which are in the raw material stage. In order of year I have 66 Malibu with ss emblems which were put on long enough ago to make the car a fake super sport 67 SS car, a true 138 car my dad bought in 69, will be my next project and will be a six speed fuel injected big block 67 Malibu I bought from a guy whose house burnt down, will always be an emblemless car w/ a small block, I plan on mini tubbing it. I drove it for a few years with a 383 in it. It was a fast beater type of car. 67 Malibu hard top which will probably become a convertible since I have what is left from a 67 conv. car to change one over. That is if I don't make the 66 a clone ss convertible, seeing as how I have had two actual 66 138 converts slip thru my fingers in years past 69 Malibu, my current project car which will be set up as a driver, with air and power windows, doors, trunk, etc. All handles, locks, marker lightsand emblems will be shaved. It has along rod383 and turbo 350 which I want to add a gear vendors overdrive to someday. A 70 six cylinder car that I want to build as a phantom 70 heavy Chevy. It will be a 400 small block, 4 speed car built as if GM had builta road runner type chevelle, i.e. no options, rubber floor mat, radio delete, manual brakes,etc with a small block. A second 70 which will probably end up being a parts car to the heavy Chevy phantom. The non Chevelles I own include but are not limited to a 55 Chevy truck with a heavy chop, 35 Chevy 5 window coupe, 73 Plymouth duster (how the hell did that get in there!?! ) 55 210 car, 84 s-15 converted to v-8 power, a 78 w/80 front end 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive, 79 sunbird Pontiac that either needs a turbo added to the iron duke or a small block transplant and three different Olds 88/98 derivatives that serve as daily driver status. That is why I started the reproduction retail business, to build some of these cars as promotional vehicles and to be able to get parts for them cheap, as well as use them as tax write offs!

1964 Malibu, hope to finish restoring some day. Have a hard time taking it off of the road long enough to do the paint prep and paint.

Re: [Chevelle-list] what year is yours?
Title: Message I have a 67SS that I bought in 1971. Drove it in high school and a few years after. A friend blew up the 396 and never got around to paying for it. Aftera fewyears I thought I wanted to drive it again so I put in a 428 Pontiac motor and it just didn't run good enough so I lost interest. Then I thought I wanted to drag race it so I put in some 4.56's and a pretty hot 327 and played with it a few times on the street but never made it to a strip. Then around 77 or so I put it in the back of my shop in New Mexicoand it stayed there till about 4 years ago and I thought it would be cool to get it out and restore it back to original for 30 myyear class reunion (2003). Took the body off and blasted the frame and got all the suspension and running gear allrebuilt andlooking better than new. Got the underside of the body looking show quality and back on the frame with new body mounts. Then about a yearinto the restoI got kicked out of thehouse and had to put the old chevelle in a storage shed till I can get me another shop here in Houston. Maybe this spring I will get back on it.
