Is there a way to check out the carrier to see what the condition it is in? On a casual inspection the bearings and race appear to be good along with the single sims for each side. The cross shaft looks and feels ok. A visual inspection of the outside shows no cracks, marks, etc. Should I pull the sprin...

I meant to post this a while ago and had a senior moment..... for a few weeks...

Bryan mentioned this car in the November news letter and I had taken a pic of it at the Garlit's museum. It is crammed in along side many other historic cars, so is hard to really get a good look at. [URL=http://s1357...

Just an FYI. I was going to place an order and found they are running two on-line discounts right now, either 20% off code CYBER20 or free shipping code BF2015 or the usual 10% for being a Team Chevelle member. Can only use one.

Direct replacment for carb, self learning, can control timing and cooling fan if desired. Seems like a nice kit for a $1000 bucks. Is fairly new system so no real long term test that I could find. http://fitechefi.com/

Mitch's "ready for winter?" post made me think of this. Temps are going to start dropping today and are forecast to get down into the teens this weekend. So just a reminder to make sure your antifreeze in ALL your vehicles is good to go for the winter.

I've been trying to research upgrades for my Chevelle headlights. Driving that again made me remember just how dim the lights are. Tom B - What brand are your lights? John D - What did you install and how do you like them? Anyone else upgrade theirs? I know some people do a relay to brighten their stock l...

Was at the Fleet Farm on 35W and Lexington on Saturday and saw this sitting in the parking lot. Had a California black plate on the front and Minnesota plate on the back. Car looked to be pretty fresh from cali from the looks. Was an auto on the floor, buckets, console, and factory A/C.

Not a Chevelle topic... but wondering if you guys have ever downsized from a 1/2 Ton truck to a 1/4 Ton, and if you regretted it or liked it? I'm thinking of trading in my '03 GMC Sierra extended cab truck for an '07 Nissan Frontier 4X4 to be able to fit it in the garage, and still be able to haul things (car par...

What is the price of gas up there? I gassed up today for $2.75 per gallon. Anyone understand why gas prices have dropped over 25% in six months?

The carb on my car has been running rich/lean? Long story short, whenever I am out for a run, I come home and through my shirt in the laundry as it has a terrible exhaust smell.

I have always had a problem with the car kind of lurching when below 1800 rpm in all 4 gears. Today a friend came over and plugged the VC line so it is adding no advance. Base timing is set at 14* with the distributor re-curved to add 22* with all in at 2600 rpm. VC was adding about 20* all in at idle. Well the...

After the car sits for a few days you have to crank if a lot before it starts. I think gas has evaporated in the carb and may have drained back in the fuel line. Is there a check valve on the outlet side of the fuel pump? If so, can it fail? How would you check the fuel bowl? What about determining if fuel has dr...

After helping me with my ignition, a fiend gave me a ride in his new HellCat today . He ordered it about 10 months ago and just got it this September. Push a button and you have 700HP or 500HP. My chevelle is kind of like a VW beetle compared to the Cat.

Saw this '66 Aztec Bronze Chevelle at a show today and I thought of Mitch. Cool show.

Turns out he lives about 20 min. from m...

I just saw an ad for this in the Linechaser. The family is going to sell off the body shop equipment, tools and his cars. He has a LOT of 66-67 Chevelle parts.
