[Chevelle-list] engine vacuum lines

2003-10-02 Thread John Nasta
So, the PCV valve goes to the large, unported vacuum at the base of the carb, right? Transmission modulator valve goes to ported vacuum, yes? Does anybody know the diameter of the vac line I will need for that? This is for a 69 El Camino w/ Edelbrock carb & TH350. Thanks, John Nasta

FINALLY I need some advice, I am ready to paint the car, and I have been visiting paint shops in my area. Some I feel confident with, do I need to ask certain questions, I tell them all I am restoring a concourse car, and I am hoping they understand that and expect a #1 paint job. The

   See if it has the dual piston master cylinder. I think it came out the 2nd half of 66 model year as a safety backup.   I like the 400 ci smallblock personally.

I think they just wanted to play cute with a catchy name: pro-street, now pro-touring. And don't forget "g" machine or canyon carver! I bought my first Chevelle in 77. Early on I realized the 64 needed help in corners. The Addco rear sway bar was on my car for over twenty years when I sold it. Got

Hey Brad, I'm right there with you. Starting with my second car, a '78 Z28, I quickly found out how much fun it is to go around corners. Every car I've had since then ('85) has been set up with corners in mind - shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, lowered, wide low profile tires. I'm sure there wer

I've built my cars to handle since before the term was coined. One of the first things I did was convert my Chevelle over to disks with the tall spindles, but that was before GW and Hotchkiss came up with their lengthened A Arms and HO was the only one doing this. After tearing through one site o

That's the T-5 5sp. If you have a mild sbc, and will not bang on it, the transmission will probably last just fine for you (assuming it's not already hurt). The T-5s are only rated for 6cyl applications now, and GM didn't put them behind 350s, only the 305 (read as 'weak'). If you're going to h
