Re: [Chevelle-List] part number
Bob, and anyone else who has speedo problems because you changed the rear gear, bigger tires or whatever. This site should help you out. Rich http://www.novaresource.org/speedo.htm - Original Message - From: Robert Belz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 11:01 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] part number Rich, Thanks for your reply. The reason I'm asking is because I ordered a speedometer ratio reducer from my local Chevy dealer and they found it in a book that listed it for a 1971 400 c.i. or 454 c.i. Chevelle with a 3.42 rear gear. As we know the only rear gear ratio that was supposed to be available was a 3.31 for the SS454 that year. This ratio adapter has a part # of 3950352 and the dealer didn't have much other info on it so I took a chance and ordered it. In their parts catalog a table showed this was to be used with driven gear #1359272 (38 tooth) and #8623313 drive gear but they didn't show how many teeth or the color code for the drive gear. I found the driven gear colors and part numbers numerous places on the net but nobody provides this info. for the drive gear. I don't know what drive gear is in my trans. I guess I'll have to count teeth. The short version is this adapter is stamped 0.8241 U.D. (don't know why they wouldn't tell that ratio in the parts book),made by C.B.I. and it made my speedometer dead nuts on. The numbers on my trans. are 529 and below that CA-69-88215. I'm sure it is not the original, probably a 69 from the tag number. Don't know what the stock rear gear or speedo gears should be for this either. Sounds like you know more than the average guy about this part number game. If you can dig up more info. on part number decoding and that gear that would be great. Sorry for the long post.

[Chevelle-List] RE: part number-Bob Belz
Sounds like you know more than the average guy about this part number game. Bob, not really. I just happen to work for GM Powertrain and have some old manuals and resources at work. I forgot to answer your question on the trans ID. CA = 350 or 396 (no difference in the trans. Sometimes the 396 would get a better clutch pack, but not this time.) 69 = 1969 88215 = serial # of the trans That plate that you got the info from is called a name plate. If the dealer had to send that trans back to the factory or do warranty work on it, 88215 tells the factory when it was built, what shift and what line it came off of. Today we still use the name plate but we also attach a bar code that can be scanned and give us additional info. Hope this helps ya. Sorry it took so long to answer you. I'm putting a pond in my yard and not getting on the tube much. If I can help you more let me know. Rich

Re: [Chevelle-List] Trunk Floor Replacement
how did you like the ausley's trunk floor, is it very good quality? - Original Message - From: Bill Vander Werf To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 10:54 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Trunk Floor Replacement I replaced the floor in my 71 also with a 3 piece floor from Ausley's. Although it fit pretty good and it sounds like Mark's was in worse shape than mine was, I have to agree with every point Mark wrote. One thing I did was painstakingly cut the old floor away from the existing floor and gas tank braces because they were still in good shape and so It would be easier to fit the new floor to them. Even though that simplified the project to a certain extent, the trunk floor project as a whole helped remind me why I don't do body work for a living anymore. Bill Vander Werf Mark Weber wrote: I replaced the floor in my 71. It was a p.i.t.a. But since I think I have more time than brains I went about this method. Here is a link.http://webpages.charter.net/perfmark/cars/chevelle/before/april_2000_work.htmHow I did it:1. Remove old.2. Buy new 3 piece kit paying attention to price.3. Fully welded all butt/overlap seams. Spot welded every 2 inches all points where the floor layed over a supporting brace.4. Fabricate extra pieces to cover holes on each side next to the wheel well housing, from trunk floor up and over to the seat back.5. Lots of grinding on imperfect welds. I think my wire feed welder is a POS.6. Some bondo and sanding to make it look smooth.7. Seam sealer.8. Trunk paint.9. Probably spent 80 hours on it. I could not make a living fixing trunk floors.How I would do it again:1. Remove old.2. Buy new kit that extends further up the back wall and further up and over the rear axle hump. Don't worry if it costs $100 more it will be a better and easier fit, it will look better, and even if your time is only worth $5 an hour it will still pay for itself. (When you buy quality - what?)3. Tack all butt/overlap seams and do not worry about 100% of the joint being welded. Spot welded every 2 inches all spots where the floor layed over a supporting brace.4. Grinding really bad welds but don't worry about the rest. If you buy a welder buy a good one. Borrow a good one from a buddy and try it first. (When you buy quality you only cry once.)5. Dont bondo. Go around the new panel seams with seam sealer and leave it.6. Trunk paint.7. I estimate this would only take 40 hours to do a trunk. and would look very good to 95% of the population. It is not unusual to see seam sealer on joints on cars and I think it would slip by most people. Of course this would not look as perfect and you would still know etc... I would do it this way if I were just making a neat car really nice.The biggest problem you might have is the fact that all the original metal you weld may be 1/2 rusted away. You take nice new weldable thicker trunk panels and try to weld them to this thin worn out stuff and you might burn through every inch. Maybe my car was to rusty for this to be easy.When it is done it is nice to have a trunk floor that stuff does not fall through :)Good luck,Mark71 SS

Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming ????
Title: Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming Dave, From what I remember when I replaced a ring and pinion a couple of years ago, once you do your initial setup for backlash and what-not, you then follow a run-in procedure to set the gears. What happens is that the gears heat up and set. So it seems that if it was setup different than what was engraved on the ring and pinion at first, then there may not be any way to shim them again to be quiet. If Im wrong, Im sure someone will chime in :-) By the way Ive been lurking on this list for about a month and have been very impressed with the volume and quality of information passing by everyday.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming ????
Title: Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming Ken, The rubbing sound is most likely from the posi unit. Did you use the limited slip additive when you put the diff oil in? If you did put in the additive you may also have some chattering of the clutches as they get broken in. When I put in my last posi ( In my Z71) I was told to run it slowly in a figure 8 in an empty parking lot to get the clutches broken in. Its been a while and they still make some noise at low speeds in a gradual turn. Depending on the posi, you may never completely get rid of the chatter. As for the hum, unless you have done several rear ends and have quality dial indicators, its going to be kind of tough to get all the noise out of the high end aftermarket gears (Richmond, etc) Thats what I was told anyway.

Jason,
Looks like everyone is busy, let's see if I can help you out. You have a
1969 307, with a SHORT water pump? You don't sound sure. Here is a simple
test, if you can stick your finger between the back of the water pump and
the front of the timing chain cover, it is the LONG water pump ('69 later),
if NOT it's a SHORT water pump. As soon as you are sure which pump setup
you have, we can go from there.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming ????
Title: Re: [Chevelle-List] Rear End shimming Ken, I dont think you will do any damage by not breaking in the posi, it will just make a god awful racket longer than if you did. Mine settled down after about 3 months of daily use, so a weekend car may stay stiff for a bit longer. Also, dont be tempted to put in synthetic fluid to make it quieter, I put it in mine and while it did cut down on the noise, it also caused the posi to slip and totally negated the locking action. Apparently the synthetic stuff is just too slippery.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Trunk Floor Replacement
The sheet metal itself is about 18 gauge and solid and the stampings are pretty close to correct. The floor they sell fits several years so there is a little trimming involved but I would buy another one from them if I needed one. As Mark Weber said in a previous post How I would do it again: 2. Buy new kit that extends further up the back wall and further up and over the rear axle hump. Don't worry if it costs $100 more it will be a better and easier fit, it will look better, and even if your time is only worth $5 an hour it will still pay for itself. I'm not sure a floor that fits his description is available but it would be worth looking for before you buy.

I had long tube Hooker Chevelle headers for my small block '67 that did not fit all that well. Turns out they are the same as the Camaro header. My Headman shorty style headers did fit better, although it is an easier job to do with the shorter headers. I actually have my second set of headers, as the first ones had an exhaust leak from day one. The second set was of a different design. The first set had to be dimpled around the steering column, and the second set needed to be dimpled by the lower A-Arm where they hit the frame. At $85, the risk is low, but you might want to look at buying from the local speed shop. I was lucky enough to be able to drive to the Headman factory and let them inspect my headers while still in the car. If you buy through summit, then you need to return them to Summit if there is a problem. If you buy from your local speed shop, you could go right to them - much easier.

RE: [Chevelle-List] U-Joints
Another option is to get a large C-clamp to compress the ends. A vice will work as well. Be very careful of the needle bearings in the caps. It's real easy for one to fall off the rim and into the bowl and you'll never get it compressed enough to get the snap ring back in. Frustrating to say the least. If the U-joints aren't fresh and the grease has hardened or thinned a bit, use a dab or two of wheel bearing grease to ensure the bearings stay against the wall of the cap. The hammer/socket method shown will work in a pinch - I've done a bunch that way. Just be sure the yoke is supported or you'll break off the ears. Good luck.

RE: [Chevelle-List] VINTAGE AIR
Walter, I'm waiting on a bracket from March to do mine. I've got a long pump in my 67 Chevelle (non-air originally) and put a March pulley kit on it last year. (See http://www.dalesplace.com/march/march_page_1.htm) Alternator is on the right (passenger) side. When I decided to go A/C I noticed that March offered the same kit for A/C as well...all I had to do was purchase the compressor bracket. It'll put the compressor on the drivers side (like later models) and the routing of the hose is the only concern. Unfortunately, the bracket is on backorder until early July but a local A/C shop and VA dealer is going to order the VA kit and do the custom installation. I just hope I get it done by the end of July.

Re: [Chevelle-List] 69 Malibu 454 badges?
I'd bet this is what the guy used! Sicne you have them in front of you, would you please measure the overall height and width of this badge?

[Chevelle-List] 305 Chevy/307 Olds
Olds had a 307 from 81-88 used in Cutlass Supreme, Delta 88, 98 Regency, Caprice Station Wagons, and some Cadillacs. That engine is good for nothing except a boat anchor, except for the fact that for some unknown reason, it did have a good amount of low end torque. I had one in my 86 Cutlass and believe it or not it did pretty good burnouts even with 2.41 gears. I dumped it in favor a mildly built 350 chevy :-). The 305 V-8 was in 77-88 Monte Carlos, Malibus, Camaros, Firebirds, GMC/Chevy pick up trucks/suburbans/Blazers. 305 HO was in MC SS, 442/Hurst Olds and Z28's if I remember correctly. 307 Chevy was 68-73 passenger cars and some trucks, I have one in my 69 Chevelle.
