Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: 1969 Mopar HEI drop-in distributor?

[John Nasta]

Thanks guys. Yeah, he got hosed. I changed his points on Monday and he  
definitely didn't need a cap or rotor. They looked fairly new. I also  
advised him to switch to HEI and unfortunately for what he paid he  
could more than likely have had that done. I will let him know what it  
takes to make the switch.


John


Quoting Tom Rightler :


$650 to do all that???  That's a tad ridiculous.  Converting a Mopar to
an electronic ignition isn't as easy as doing a GM car.  You have to get
a new engine harness for it for specifically for an electronic ignition
which Year One has.  That's who I got it from for my Charger.  The
distributor is easy...just get one for a 1970 Dodge Charger.  You also
need the electronic control box, voltage regulator, and ballast resistor
for a 1970 Charger also.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: 1969 Mopar HEI drop-in distributor?

[ted laidig]

Not a Mopar man ,but seems to me if you wanted to ditch the points and the rest 
of the distributor is good maybe you should consider an MSD box or similar 
unit.  Would be a good way to eliminate the points and get a hotter spark all 
in one shot.  That's what I did on my "69" Chevelle and haven't regretted it 
yet.

Hi all,

I have a good friend who has been having problems with his 1969  
Coronet w/ 318 & 2bbl. He got stuck a few days ago and it was very  
hard to find a place that sells the points & condensor. We changed  
those and got him running and he called a little while ago saying that  
he's stuck again. Luckily he has AAA.


So, does anyone know of a good drop-in HEI distributor for Mopar like  
so many of us have for our Chevys?


Thanks,
John Nasta

If the hoses are 4 years old replace. If the fan is belt driven make sure it
is not slipping. Again if it is a few years old replace. If you have an
electric fan put a thermometer in the radiator and see when the fan kicks

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: frame question

[Dale]

I have a Hollander's manual for Chevelles.  For 68-72 Chevelles there is a
*type* they number as 1943.  For Chevelles this fits 68-70 2-dr (exc.
Pickup) & 1971 & 1972 H.T. & Conv. Chevelles. Quite a few A-bodies are
listed under type 1943.

 

Buick Special '68 2 Dr., Conv.

Buick Special '69 2 Dr. exc. GS400 H.T.
Buick Special '70 2 Dr., Conv

Buick Special '71-72 2 Dr. exc. 8-455

Chevelle '68-70 2 Dr. exc. Pickup

Chevelle '71-72 2 Dr., H.T. & Conv.

Olds F85 '68 2 Dr., Conv.

Olds F85 '69 2 Dr.

Olds F85 '70 2 Dr. Conv.

Olds F85 '71-72 2 Dr.

Tempest '68 2 Dr., Conv.

Tempest '69 2 Dr.

Tempest '70 2 Dr., Conv., exc. 8-455

Tempest '70 2 Dr., H.T., exc. 8-455
Tempest '70 2 Dr., Sdn

Tempest '71-72 2 Dr., exc. 8-455

 

The convertibles probably all have boxed frames but other than that are
probably the same basic frame.  Don't know why the Buick GS400 or (I assume
V8 w/455 engine) in Buick & Tempest are different.

 

I scanned the two pages in the book if you like and will mail them to you
offline.may be easier to make sense than the pieces I chopped out.

start. 

If the hoses are 4 years old replace. If the fan is belt driven make sure it
is not slipping. Again if it is a few years old replace. If you have an
electric fan put a thermometer in the radiator and see when the fan kicks
on.

[Chevelle-list] OT: Ford & MC fans' key tip

[John Nasta]

This just came across my radar screen...

If you have one of those Fords with the double-sided keys (identical  
cuts on both sides), the lock only needs one side of the key to work.  
The other side is only there so you can flip the key and still have it  
work. You can put your ignition & doors cut on one side and your trunk  
& glove cut on the other side and have only one key that does  
everything instead of two separate keys. Just cut a notch or something  
in one side so you know which side has which cut. Also works for  
double-sided motorcycle keys, which is how I found out about it. One  
side for the ignition and the other for the gas cap.

Replace that bizarre top w/ a tonneau cover and close up those big

Does anybody else have the Flowmaster 2008 calendar? The Feb car is  the 
fully restored Monkees 1966 GTO. What a bizarre car. The nose is  like a 
big wind scoop and I don't think that convertible top was meant  to travel 
over 15mph. I like the headers though.


I wonder what they did w/ the inside of the trunk and the area behind  the 
rear seat. Looks like there might actually be a third seat, or at  least 
it's padded out.


Two "Monkee Mobiles" were made. The one on the calendar appears to be  #1. 
This car went on tour w/ the band and was apparently abandoned in 
Australia at the end of the tour. It apparently re-surfaced in 1992 at  a 
government foreclosure auction in Puerto Rico, and sold for the  minimum 
bid of $5,000.


#2 had a yellow/orange color around the grill rather than silver, and  the 
same yellow around the headlights, rather than the body color.

Yeah, you'll get sludge if you mix orange and green. Also, the new  
stuff is not meant for the radiators and heater cores of the old cars.  
Stick to the good old green stuff for the classic cars.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT Appliance Headers

[Dale]

Appliance made wheels as well as headers and maybe more stuff.
Back-in-the-day, Appliance headers featured heavier tubes, individual
flanges for the head mounting and 4-bolt square collectors (as opposed to
the 3-bolt triangular type).  Very good quality headers too if IIRC.   Can't
remember exactly all the wheels they made but they did make a very nice
Buick wire wheel knockoff.  I think (think mind you) they sold out to Mr.
Gasket at one point but could be wrong.  This was back in the 60s and I've
slept since then.  :*)

I got tired of messing with it, and ended up rebuilding the Champion rebuilt

the screws securing the float bowl assy to the throttle body assy were fairly 
loose. In any event, all problems are now gone. No more smoking or sputtering, 
and my gas mileage is up to 19mpg.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: Microsoft Publisher 2007

[Michael Pell]

I certainly agree with all the comments about using Publisher.  It is 
not a web site development tool, and at least with the 2003 version, 
produces some awful .html code, and the pages are poor at best.


And to be clear from my end, I'm not really "choosing" to use 
Publisher.   I've been asked to electronically publish a school 
newsletter, and they build their newsletter in Publisher.  :-)  So, 
Publisher it is.  I just want to see what I can do other than convert it 
to PDF (which does work quite well).


My choice of web development tools is NetObjects Fusion 
(www.netobjects.com).  I've been using it for about 10 years, and really 
like it.
Not that I'm a "big time" web developer...

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: Microsoft Publisher 2007

[Dale]

Excellent advice concerning learning at least a little bit about HTML code,
even for a novice.  Another thing to think about is that like a body or
paint shop, having professional tools doesn't always mean professional
results.   Very professionally looking web sites have been done with
relatively low powered tools, even notepad as Kurt mentioned, and very poor
sites done with high powered tools like FP/Expression Web or Dreamweaver.

 

I like the first link's use of 'flipping wheelchairs, which seems a bit
insensitive to those with a wheelchair-bound disability.  With what they/he
advertises he might make the site a bit more 508 compliant for those with
sight disabilities as well by using 'alt' tags on all the graphic images.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: Microsoft Publisher 2007

 

I don't want to sound too elitist, but my official opinion on the best web
site production tool is a knowledgeable and experienced web designer. There
are countless reasons for this opinion which would probably come off more
like a sales pitch, so I'll bite my tongue on that side of things and just
talk about the tools themselves.

 

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.  The act of "marking up" a
document goes back to the 13th century and the letterpress. Publishers would
"mark up" a document so the letterpress operator would know how to lay out
the document.   HTML is just the electronic version of the same activity.

 

In HTML, every "tag" has a special purpose. For instance, the paragraph tag
delineates what is a paragraph.  The text within  and  is the
paragraph.  

 

Tools such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage or whatever tries to make an educated
guess about what the user is trying to do.   So, let's say you want to
create a heading at the top of the page.  Using Dreamweaver, you can just
manually make the text large and bold.  In reality, you should be using 
for that, rather than playing games with the font.  To the layperson, as
long as the text is big and bold, that's all that matters.  There's a lot
more to it than that, though.

 

So, back to the tools, all of these tools make a guess about what you're
really after, and they really need to perform a balancing act between doing
what you say and doing what you mean. For most, like Frontpage, NetObjects
Fusion, etc. they really spew out a lot of terrible code that can cause a
lot of problems with cross-platform compatibility and maintenance of the
site. When it comes to Dreamweaver, it'll still let you hang yourself, but
it doesn't litter the code any more than you ask it to.

 

My best advice, regardless of what tool you buy, is that you spend some time
learning more about HTML. With proper knowledge of HTML, you'll be able to
make the tool work for you, rather than you working for it.

 

One more thing: If this is a website for a business, you really need to have
a professional do it.   Stanford University's Web Credibility Project
(http://credibility.stanford.edu/) has been performing a long term study
into credibility on the web. They've found that the quality of the site has
a direct relationship to how much credibility a visitor ascribes to a site.


 

To illustrate this point, go to these two sites:

http://www.istal.com/smoke/

http://www.webaccessstrategies.com

 

Both organizations perform the same types of services.  Which one are you
likely to regard as more professional and more likely to produce quality
work?

 

Just some food for thought.

Karl,

 

Well thats good to know, especially coming from a professional web site
designer. In about a month I'll have some money saved up from my
buisness...Is DreamWeaver the best web site designer? Or at least one that's
pretty good. I'm fairly good with computers, and I know that websites are
all HTML based. I've played with HTML a very very small amount, but that's
it. The publisher just seemed pretty easy to use and would do what I wanted
it to do(for now). I bought my domain on GoDaddy.com, and used thier little
web site builder. It was absolutely horrible...That's why I was looking into
publisher.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: Microsoft Publisher 2007

Actually, Karl suggested Dreamweaver; I use Expression Web :*)   In any
event.  I tried Dreamweaver a couple of years ago and I guess after having
been with FrontPage, the predecessor to Expression Web, since version 1 I
was more use to the look-and-feel of FrontPage and made the move up to
Expression Web much easier.  I never could get the hang of Dreamweaver.

 

If one were doing large sites professionally like Kurt, Dreamweaver would
probably be a viable solution.  For me, all of my sites are done with
Expression Web.  Kinda like choices in a Chevelle, eh?

Well thats good to know, especially coming from a professional web site

pretty good. I'm fairly good with computers, and I know that websites are

Hey Mikefunny you're posting about this. I was just looking into buying
Publisher yesterday. I have 2003 here at work. I want to make a webpage for
my side buisness...however I dont think my work would appreciate me using

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT: Microsoft Publisher 2007

[Karl Groves]

I don't want to sound too elitist, but my official opinion on the best web
site production tool is a knowledgeable and experienced web designer. There
are countless reasons for this opinion which would probably come off more
like a sales pitch, so I'll bite my tongue on that side of things and just
talk about the tools themselves.
 
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.  The act of "marking up" a
document goes back to the 13th century and the letterpress. Publishers would
"mark up" a document so the letterpress operator would know how to lay out
the document.   HTML is just the electronic version of the same activity.
 
In HTML, every "tag" has a special purpose. For instance, the paragraph tag
delineates what is a paragraph.  The text within  and  is the
paragraph.  
 
Tools such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage or whatever tries to make an educated
guess about what the user is trying to do.   So, let's say you want to
create a heading at the top of the page.  Using Dreamweaver, you can just
manually make the text large and bold.  In reality, you should be using 
for that, rather than playing games with the font.  To the layperson, as
long as the text is big and bold, that's all that matters.  There's a lot
more to it than that, though.
 
So, back to the tools, all of these tools make a guess about what you're
really after, and they really need to perform a balancing act between doing
what you say and doing what you mean. For most, like Frontpage, NetObjects
Fusion, etc. they really spew out a lot of terrible code that can cause a
lot of problems with cross-platform compatibility and maintenance of the
site. When it comes to Dreamweaver, it'll still let you hang yourself, but
it doesn't litter the code any more than you ask it to.
 
My best advice, regardless of what tool you buy, is that you spend some time
learning more about HTML. With proper knowledge of HTML, you'll be able to
make the tool work for you, rather than you working for it.
 
One more thing: If this is a website for a business, you really need to have
a professional do it.   Stanford University's Web Credibility Project
(http://credibility.stanford.edu/) has been performing a long term study
into credibility on the web. They've found that the quality of the site has
a direct relationship to how much credibility a visitor ascribes to a site.

 
To illustrate this point, go to these two sites:
http://www.istal.com/smoke/
http://www.webaccessstrategies.com
 
Both organizations perform the same types of services.  Which one are you
likely to regard as more professional and more likely to produce quality
work?
 
Just some food for thought.

I honestly think you may be better off getting a web site specific piece of
software if you're going to do a web site.  Publisher might do if that's all
you have but something like Expression Web creates better (IMO) code.  When
you 'publish' a Publisher .pub file it does create an .htm/.html file but
it's so bloated with extra MS code it's difficult to maintain.  But, like
old axiom "When all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a
nail."

file to convert, then send it back to me as .html in a .zip file?
If it works out, I'll just buy Publisher, but don't want to spend the money
only to find it doesn't convert any better than the 2003 version that I
already have.
And the 2007 trial version doesn't let me publish as .html.

Hey Mikefunny you're posting about this. I was just looking into buying 
Publisher yesterday. I have 2003 here at work. I want to make a webpage for my 
side buisness...however I dont think my work would appreciate me using thier 
stuff for another buisness. How do you like using Publisher? Are you saying 
that on 2003, when you create a webpage, you cant upload it to a site because 
its not HTML??

Thanks for your reply Brad. Yes, a half ton.

The carb is an Auto Zone rebuilt that I recently installed. I replaced the 
points, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser and coil. Of course new doesn't 
automatically equal good, but all items listed seems to be functional. Can an 
old and possibly degraded distributor cause this type of  symptom? The dwell is 
running at 31 degrees and steady, which should be close enough. When I rev it 
up with the timing light on, the mark climbs up and off the gauge so the 
advance curve at least starts off correctly... The plugs are running  gaps of 
40.

Yes, the timing tabs are marked in 2-degree increments.

I checked my Haynes book and it too defers to the underhood sticker.  4 BTDC
is as good a place as any to start, and if it runs fine then try adding a
little more advance until performance degrades.  If you use it more as a

Sounds like a carb issue, especially if it's been years since the Monojet's
been gone through.  If possible, put a vacuum gauge on the engine and
observe what it reads in the RPM range in question.  Is the rest of the ignition
system up to snuff?

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT - GMC TRUCK HELP

[Shawn Price]

Larry,
 It's sounding like maybe the accelerator pump is putting too much  
of a shot into the carb when you step on it.  If it runs fine above  
that RPM range and you think the main jetting is fine, then see if  
you can reduce the amount the acc pump puts out. I don't have one of  
those carbs in front of me, so I can't offer any more useful  
information on how to change it.

automatically equal good, but all items listed seems to be functional. Can an 
old and possibly degraded distributor cause this type of  symptom? The dwell is 
running at 31 degrees and steady, which should be close enough. When I rev it 
up with the timing light on, the mark climbs up and off the gauge so the 
advance curve at least starts off correctly... The plugs are running  gaps of 
40. 

As a youth, I was taught black smoke means to much fuel, which means not enough 
air or too much fuel at those RPMs Is there an adjustment for the fuel/air 
mixture off idle on these carbs?

Half ton, right?  My dad had that very same truck from '72 to '85.
The shift linkage went bad in the column and he converted it to a
Hurst "Indy" floor shifter.  I used to take it out on the back roads,
wind it up, pop the clutch, and the back end would bounce around
like crazy.  ;^)

Yes, the timing tabs are marked in 2-degree increments.

I checked my Haynes book and it too defers to the underhood sticker.  4 BTDC
is as good a place as any to start, and if it runs fine then try adding a
little more advance until performance degrades.  If you use it more as a
driver and less as a hauler the original factory specs may be allowing for
some engine loading that your truck doesn't see.

Sounds like a carb issue, especially if it's been years since the Monojet's
been gone through.  If possible, put a vacuum gauge on the engine and
observe what it reads in the RPM range in question.  Is the rest of the ignition
system up to snuff?

I'm hoping some of you my be able to help with a couple of questions I have 
concerning my 1970 GMC truck. It has a straight 6 250 CID engine with a 3 speed 
manual tranny and a 1 barrel MonoJet carb.

First question is on timing. My service manual says to refer to the sticker 
under the hood for timimg, but my sticker is long gone. I did find one of my 
old tune-up guides from the 70's that says on L6 Chevelles, it should be 0 
degrees on automatics and 4 degrees BTDC on manual tranny vehicles... Should I 
go with 4 degrees BTDC? Also, each mark on the timing guide by the flywheel on 
these things is 2 degrees right?

Second question is on my carb. While accelerating normally, it starts to spit 
and sputter at around 2000 rpms, then clears up at around 2500 rpms or so. 
While it's doing this, I see black smoke coming out of the exhaust. Before and 
after this rpm range, my truck doesnt smoke. Well, it does at red line but 
that's gray smoke and I thing an entirely different issue with this tired old 
engine. Do you think in the 2000 to 2500 rpm range, it's getting too much fuel? 
If so, how do I fix it?

Thanks for your help guys.
