Re: [Chevelle-list] Fuse Block
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. You could bypass the block and use an inline fuse. The short could be at one of the bulb sockets. Try tracing the short with a probe test light.

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?

The block is a 454 used from 72-75 in the Chevelle, up to 76 in passenger cars thru 76 and trucks until 79. Also used in the vette in 72. The 3919840 was on the 396 from 67-69 and on the 427 from 67-70. It is a closed chamber 106.8 cc head. The 3873858 was used from 66-67 on the 396 and 66-68 on the 427. It is also closed chamber but with a larger 108.9 cc chamber. If you have a question for the list, you should start a new thread to eliminate confusion.

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.

Goodmark used to make them, now they use Golden Star, Dynacorn uses Golden Legion. AMD is also now producing some Chevelle metal. None of these catalog vendors make any of the metal, they are simply distributors for the 3 above. Go with the one who gives you best price and/or is closest to you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Lee Hester Spammer
The junk mail keeps getting through because the email is coming to you from the Chevelle list, so the only way to block it would be to block chevelle-l...@chevelle.net email address. At this point its up the administrator of the list to block/remove him. You might be able to create a Rule with your email software that looks at all email coming in and if the message contains Lee Hester it will just auto delete. Depends on what options your email program gives you. Maybe the list admin might do something if we all start threatening to drop off the list if he/she doesn't do something.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust gaskets (Donuts) Help!
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.

once i put a new engine in my car, and then put anti-seize on the studs on the lower exhaust manifold, and i too had the donut leaking problem, but it was because it kept loosening up due to the anti-seize. - which in turn then blow them out Harlan

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust gaskets (Donuts) Help!
I am having a tough time keeping the donut gasket between the manifold and the exhaust pipe from disintegrating. After installation, it takes about 3-4 months of very little driving and they start leaking again. I have been told that there are metal gaskets (poss copper?) and regular donut gaskets with a metal tube insert that helps the heat/exhaust flow through with less stress to the donut. I have not seen anything like what I am describing and wondered if there was someone out there that had some experience with this problem that they could share. Thanks, Ed 70 Chevelle SS Convertible

Re: [Chevelle-list] 66 Chevelle
I use Goodmark metal on all my personal and customer vehicles if I can't use NOS. My only qualm that I have is I put a full quarter on my 71 and a customers 70 (both in that cars case) and they are ever so slightly different on the very edge going down the top. It doesn't matter that much if you are replacing both sides, the 66-67 quarters are second to none, they were spot on. I have used a few of their Mopar parts and it was great stuff.

Re: [Chevelle-list] engine Identification
Harlan: I had a 56 Chevy sedan delivery with a factory 265. It too had no filter. Unfortunately this was when I was 16 years old and didn't know boo about ID numbers etc.I do know it was the original motor I'm guessing mine must of been an early 1956 production and they used the non filtered blocks until they either got all used up or they used them in the cheaper cars? Maybe yours is a replacement block? I do not believe that it was possible to add a filter to the area in question.I can tell you when I went to change the oil I searched all over for an oil filter.Mine didnt have one but the add on filter was on top of the manifold . it was helf in place under the thermostat housing and the metal lines screwed into the front of the block near the top. The motor is probably worth something to someone restoring a certain year car .Send me a picture of the numbers too and I will do some research.

Re: [Chevelle-list] engine Identification
Interesting but I can remember several low budget 57 with 265s also. I had tons of Tri 5 cars when I was a kid .

Re: [Chevelle-list] engine Identification
1957 did indeed still use a 265 engine but these were coded C, CD and CE. Optional external oil filters were offered in 1955 since there was not an integral oil filter with the engine. See http://stovebolt.com/techtips/engines/oil%20filters/index.html about half way down the page under 1955-1958.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brakes/fuel gauge
You are correct. In 69 the prop valve was up next to the master. The block on the frame is simply a distribution block.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brakes/fuel gauge
The proportioning valve balances the front to rear brakes. Under hard to moderate braking the car will nose dive or the rear brakes will lock if the valve is incorrect. If you feel even braking front to rear, your are fine. Some times the whole gauge cluster needs to be grounded. Simply connect a wire from a screw in the cluster to a solid place on the dash or firewall. Also check the ground on the sending unit at the tank.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brakes/fuel gauge
Harlan, You must have lost a ground while under the dash. Find it and you should solve the gas gauge problem. As for the brakes, where the booster and master cylinder both off the grand prix? On the booster there is a shaft. They can be short or long. They don't mix and match. A long shaft in a shallow master cylinder can be an issue. Also when switching from manual to power, you need to move the pin in the brake pedal to the other hole. If I remember correctly, move to the top hole, but either way, the OTHER hole.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brakes/fuel gauge
ok i checked the inside rod at the pedal, and was going to try it in the other hole, but i could not get it to move into the other hole because it was hitting on things, i put the whole booster/rod ass'y from the gran prix into the car. i used the booster, spindles, porportioning valve from the gran prix, and got the discs, calipers,hoses,brgs, master from NAPA for a 69 gran prix with front discs. i did notice that the original master was somwhat more rounded looking than the one i got from NAPA which is more rectangular and when we measured the outside length of the original and NAPA master the original one out of the gran prix is longer than the one we put in, this was just measuring the outside of the case-- if this matters ??

Re: [Chevelle-list] brakes/fuel gauge
It sounds to me like the master you got from NAPA is master for a 70-72. The original master you got from the GP sounds like a 69 master. Can't remember which one uses the short push rod and which one the long rod (between the booster and the master) but these two masters use different sized rods. Your problem would indicate you have the short rod in and need the long one.

Re: [Chevelle-list] brakes/fuel gauge
Check the ground to the dash for the gauge. Sounds like your booster has failed, do you have a check valve in the booster? Run the car and pull the valve out it should be under vacuum.
