I just tap mine in with a hammer and have not had any problems at the axles. I don't know of any installer tools, although I'm sure there are some out there. Mike -- When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?" http://www.christianet.com Check out

Title: Message Hi John, I found a set of seal installers at (take your pick - Autozone, Pep Boys, etc). They're nothing more than a set of different size discs that attach to a steel handle. Pick the correct size disc, attach it to the handle, then tap the seal in place. If you haven't

[Chevelle-list] 67 Chevelle Options

2005-10-15 Thread Keith Garcia
The '67 had many engine options. The SS396 being one of the more popular. I've seen SS427 emblems before on restoration sites. Was the SS427 a true Chevelle option in 1967? And if so, how many (approx) were made? I'm guessing it wasn't much of an option otherwise people building SS clones would

I've never seen or heard of a documented SS-427 Chevelle in 1967. A lot of people have used the Impala emblems and tried to pass them off as such. Clint HooperHH Custom,owner1969 El Camino ProTourer2001 H-D FLHR custom baggerhttp://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm -

Only the 396 was available FROM THE FACTORY in 66 and 67 on the SS. They came in three flavors: RPO L35 325HP RPO L34 360HP IN 66, 350HP IN 67 RPO L78 375HP My Chevelle SS Restoration Guide further states that some dealers did install the 427 for their customers, but unless you can

The 427 was a popular swap in 66 and 67 but only by dealers or individuals thats why you see the badges. There may very well have been performance dealers that would do the swap before the car was sold but from the factory, none have ever been documented. Remember GM had a 400 cubic inch

I don't think you need shims for OEM style starters. I have owned and repaired lots of cars from this era and never had to shim a starter. AFAIK it is a more prevalent problem with, or might even be exclusive to those aftermarket mini-starters. John Nasta -Original Message- My point,
