Dennis,
I agree with Trooper. My Muncie shifter was a pain to install, a pain to
shift, and a pain to yank out. Just buy a handle and use a good Hurst
Competition Plus shifter. The Muncie shifts like a wet noodle and is prone to
binding.especially if there is a hot chick in the nearby
Thanks Mike,
Is a scatter shield the same as a SFI bellhousing or is it an additional piece
of metal that is welded on top of the bellhousing?
Also, What do you mean by Dialing it in? I would hope the garage doing the
install already knows this, but I am curious and would like to have some
Cool Thanks,
I tried calling the company for a price quote Monday but only got their
answering machine. I'm anxious to try them on my GTO because it should be an
easy bolt-on job. If things go OK, I will eventually get 3 Y-pipes for the
Chevelle and install cut outs on it. Thanks for the
Happy Independence Day!
I was driving hame from work in the Chevelle a few months ago and noticed I
didn't have any oil pressure. I checked the gauges, dipstick, etc. I noticed
that my billet distributor was raised about 1/4 from the intake and figured
that it just wasn't spinning the oil
Hello,
Any of you guys running one of those nifty exhaust bypasses on your cars.
I'm thinking about putting electric ones on the car but I'm a little afraid to
spend sooo much money to GET an exhaust leak (if you know what I mean).

I'm sure this has been covered a thousand times so the first question would be
how to look up the archived threads.

wheels) and was wondering is 255/60/R15's would fit all the way around. I

Hi Pelle,
The band was Paul Revere the Raiders and the song was called Judge GTO

It is also interesting to note that they were contracted a few years earlier by
GM to make a song to advertise the introduction of the 66 Chevelle. It was
called SS 396. SS 396 and a flip-side song

I have a 67 GTO. It didn't come with a 12-bolt. I always thought it was a
10-bolt (open)but maybe it is not. How do you identify an BOP 8.2?
I have installed a chevy 12 bolt posi in it tho since I assumed it was a
10-bolt, so I guess it's too late to matter.

Does anybody out there have a 70-72 that is using the Cowl Induction air
cleaner with an aftermarket intake? If so, did you have to make any mods to
make it fit? What Carb / intake are you using? I've been told that a Holley
is shorter than the AFB style carb. Is that correct?
Thanks in

cleaner if you use an Edelbrock dual-plane intake manifold (performer RPM) with
a Holley carb instead of the factory single-plane one? Will there be enough
clearance? If not, what if I did not re-use the factory

I just bought a used movie from Blockbuster called Surviving Christmas
(mostly to watch Christina Applegate). I was surprised to find that her dad
purchases a beautiful red 70 SS Chevelle. I think there were 454 markings on
the fender, it had black stripes, cowl induction, and red interior.
Great question. I have been pondering the same question. My problem is that I
have a gauge kit (that came in the trunk of the car when I baught it)but I
don't know if it works. My dilema is whether to install the untested gauge kit
and switch wiring harnesses or just get the idiot light to

Its been a long time since I did any wiring on my car, but I think I had the
same problem or something similar to your problem due to a voltage drop (About
8 volts -vs- 12+). I believe it was caused by a factory resistor that reduces
your ignition voltage down for stock applications. I was

Why don't you sell your Chevelle to someone else, buy some import gas/electric hybrid

Good luck on your project! Let us know how that T-56 feels and how easy/difficult it
