I'm trying to determine the origin date of the club based on the first cruise that you guys took together. I think it was Oct. '2002? I found some pics in the club archives that would validate this, but want you to confirm. I've included a pic of Derek's Chevelle, Keith's Elky, John D.'s 'old' Elky, and...

The spankin new headlight switch that came in my harness kit is JUNK. The headlights come on in the park position unless I wiggle it just right and then they go off in the headlight position unless I wiggle it too. My interior lights stay on all the time too and it may be from the defective switch. I'm not su...

Everyone knows that no matter how carefully you wax the car, you WILL get a stripe or bump of wax onto the black textured trim, or the window rubber... and it seems that NOTHING will get this off of, or dissolve it. Then on top of the wax crud, the black plastic trim gets "gray" or oxidized and doesn't look...

Let's see if we can help out a fellow Chevelle guy (he also owns a '70 Chevelle convertible) Thanks. Here's what he emailed me: Stan, I am lo...

A few years back I had an impala radio for a 66 and a chevelle radio for a 66 that was no good. My son in-law took the impala radio and replaced the push button mechanism and tuning shaft with the corresponding parts from the chevelle radio.

Okay guys- I need some local knowledge here. I plan on installing my Tri-Y headers and I want to have them tied in to my existing exhaust system. This isn't a huge deal, but I want it done right, once, so I don't have to think about it again. I have a lot of good connections in the area but I've yet to find a re...

Aren't most of the El Camino parts (except the body ones of course) interchangeable with the chevelles of the same years? Things like rear ends, dashes, steering columns, etc.
