One Tooth Off... Yes that would advance or retard
your timing but unless the dist can has interference with something. You
still should be able to
set the timing correct... If it's POPPING and your
timing is set right.( timing light off #1 plug and flashing on your
timing mark on the
Pull the #1
spark plug and put a cork firmly into the hole. Turn the engine over by hand
until the cork pops out. Thats how youll know that you are on the compression
stroke and not the exhaust stroke. Turn the engine until the #1 piston is at
the top of its travel in the compression
p.s. you can put a dowel or even a plastic straw into the spark
plug hole so that you can see when the piston is at the top of its travel by whether
the dowel/straw is moving up or starting to head back down as you manually turn
the engine. Obviously you want it to be long enough that it

I had to clean out the garage over the weekend. As a result, the front drum
brake parts that were removed from my 1970 Chevelle during the disc
conversion are now
The holes for the frame mounts should already be in place, just get the
frame and matching engine mounts - preferably those with the safety lock.
Don't know if the PG will bolt up to the V8 or not, never made that swap -
may need starter for the V8 (?). Naturally, you'll need all associated
If it was a timing issue would it start and idle
fine, only to pop under a load?

Hey guys,
My 1970 chevelle sits to low for comfort i want to avoid hitting the ground as much as
possible. What i want to do is raise the car in the rear about 3 inches and a few
inches in the front. I have hear that i can just install some airshocks in teh back
and that will lift it enough
Yes. It pops
when there is detonation while a valve is open. Thats a timing issue.
Is the
vacuum advance working? Has the cam ever been degreed?
I assume
we have not ruled out the distributor being in wrong or the timing being set
wrong due to a slipped damper.

Adjustable air bag suspension. hehe.
Maybe big block springs would lift it a
little.
Are you still running the original
springs?
If so, chances are they're wore out and have lost
their "spring" (aren't I punny?)

The 230 will bolt to any tranny a SB mounts to.
You can use the flexplate. I think the convertors are
There is a reason that there are formulas that will
determine the amount of air flow for a specified RPM.
One thing is for sure, if your car only needs a 750
and you get the 850, your just spending more money on
something that wont make your car go any faster.
bigger is not always better.

Thanks Pete. Most of the stuff will come out of my '66 so that's taken
care of. We were just discussing the tranny issue and my just swap my
tranny too. I can always get a TH40 for my 396 anyhow.
Thanks,

New coil springs will do more for an older car than almost anything else to
improve ride and handling. Rear coil spring air bags are cheap and work well
to stiffen and lift the rear slightly. Air shocks are like adding pogo
sticks. For my money, go with new coils and good performance shocks.

Anyone have bumper brackets around for a 70 elky? (I think
the brackets from a 70 monte carlo might work as well)
Thanks,

Has anybody put up curtains all around the back half of a station
wagon? I want to be able to draw them for when I want to sleep in
the car on long trips, but out of the way most the time. It looks
like a project that will take a lot of imagination to figure out.
Anybody got any ideas?
I've owned a VW camper and I'm sure you can use what they did. It was a
small aluminum 'C' Channel that was easily bent. It had small plastic
inserts that had loops that you sewed the curtains too. You just need to
figure out how to attach it to your vehicle. If not two spring loaded

Hi
Gang,
it's me again. I found a nice
person witha nice 65 brake set up that he claims is stock and 11 inch
rotors. I am trying to upgrade my 64 chevelle drum front end to discs, but
deciede to go with the "tall" spindle conversion. Contrary to what the
seller claims, I have heard that
180 it would not even come close to running. The power supply for the breaker point distributor is routed through a resistance wire to drop the voltage and prevent damage to the points. A bypass wire was also used to supply the distributor with a full 12 volts at startup. On the other hand, an HEI
Disc brakes weren't available until 1967. I'm sure
you know that,though.
