[Chevelle-list] Reinstalling rear window moulding
I removed all the factory clips and put all new ones on when we cleaned up the rust in the channel. The new ones aren't as snug as the others but they do look to be almost identical. It seems the moulding sits down in the channel OK but as I work it in some areas pop back out. Anybody experienced this before and/or how do I get it seated again? Thanks for your comments! Darren

The 4TH Of July... Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: freedom is never free! I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Intake manifold question
Even though it is just a cruiser you still need to verify for yourself what you really want. I have gone from the Edelbrock Performer, to the Performer RPM and now the Performer RPM Air Gap. They are all very close in price so the latest one is what I would suggest as it is a dual-plane intake with a power band of 1600rpm to 6000rpm.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Trouble with the starter on the 69 Chevelle
I agree with the solenoid idea. Also keep in mind just because a cable looks good doesn't mean it is. You can never get enough ground in my opinion so I have a new ground cable from the battery to the head on the engine (not the alternator bracket)as well as the heavier wire also from the negative battery cable to the fender using a star washer.

I turned the car off once in the garage,then tried starting the car again. The car started without hesitation. This istypical when ever I experience this problem.

The only consistency is it neverseems to happen in cool weather.Iâ?Tm considering the following items next,- by passing the neutral safety switch.- installing a new ignition switch.A little history,This started around three years ago.

Re: [Chevelle-list] driveability problem
Hey Harlan, It sounds like you do have a carb issue but I dont think it is due to the size. The usual checks are to make sure your floats are set right, timing is where your engine likes it, all ignition parts are good (plugs, wires, cap and rotor), and you know what your shooter size is.
