So, now that the Chevelle is on the road, I get to dig into some of the other 'issues' I need to take care of. I have the SS gauge dash and only the Temp, Gas, Fuel, and Speedo work. The Amp gauge pegs to the bottom of the gauge, and when I hooked up the tach (with a square wave filter) it bottoms out too. When I tu...

We're going to church shortly, having a ham lunch (my favorite!!!), the daughter and boyfriend are coming over,...

Would like to strip the chrome flashing off some stainless hub caps and just polish them. Is there an easy way to strip the chrome or do I have to take them to a stripping place? Anyone know of a good shop? thanks?

I had Darren here today to repair a water leak in to his trunk. It was what I expected....a rust hole in the channnel. We spent a good deal of time scraping out the old sealer and rust. Once the channel was clean I sprayed the rusty areas with Eastwood Converter. After that was dry, I put HVAC tape on the insi...

With my car getting so close to being finished, I have been looking at the photo below (background on my PC) a lot and just not sure if I like how the front wheels look in the picture?

I am going to replace the tires on my '69. I have original date coded wheels. The current tire size is P 205 70R 14. I don't want to go any larger in height, but I would like a little wider tire.

I see that MSD has a new digital points replacement kit and it has a simple one wire hook up with no power supply and ground needed. Saw it in the new sumitt cataloge. Wonder if this means you do not have to by-pass the resister wire. Has anyone had any experience with this unit? In the past most pe...

There is a post on Team Chevelle about Ipods and one response claims there is a device that will let you convert cassette tapes and even record albums to your computers digital format.

I put the new cable on that I got last year from Corvette Specialties and it's loose on the trans end. The threads seem to bottom out but the cable flops around. Is here supposed to be a rubber washer similar to a garden hose on that end to seal ?

I re-painted and assembled my dash and dash pad awhile ago, and had it sitting on my bench waiting to get put back into the car. Last night I knocked it onto the floor, cracking my original dash pad in 2 spots . I've heard the repo pads fit terrible, but I'm wondering about the dash cap overlays that glu...

So I had my oil changed at my friendly Goodyear shop, and they tell me I need a new water pump because it's starting to weep. I haven't noticed anything on the floor yet, so it must be a small amt.
