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 know these cars don/t have catalytic converters and do smell some but this has been excessive. During the Cruise for the Troops r...

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...

I've been trying to find the date for the party and there is NOTHING on the calendar, or in the events/meeting/members only forum. I know I saw it in a news letter, but I have no idea how to access those on here either. We're looking at doing something Dec 12th and that date seems to vibrate cobwebs in the ca...

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. They had over 2K cars in a park, and a downtown cruise tonight (didn't go on the cruise as our daughter is in town for the weekend). There was an original owner '69 Yenko there too. Turns out he lives about 20 min. from m...

I read an article in last weeks Mpls Trib about a driving school at BIR. Looked it up on line and it seems interesting. Has anyone done it? Thoughts? (No not for me, thought my wife & daughter might have fun with it .) -- Edited by Jon H on Monday 8th of August 2011 05:59:26 AM

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.

I have had a Torin 2 1/2 ton floor jack for many years and it has worked well.

Anyone have a preference steel to aluminum? Seems ...

Thought you guys might enjoy seeing the MACC letter and the reference to Tina and I and Northstar Chevelle's. Some of you will have to think about coming to KC for the Midwest Chevelle Regionals, and to Omaha in 2017.

Do you know any shops that would coat locally? I don't want to buy new headers as mine were special order, and bent, and worked to fit perfectly. I would rather take them off and have them done. About how much would it run?

Picked this up today, 16 cfm at 175 psi. $300.00 delivered; should work for the blast cabinet. I have John D and Mitch to blame for this; they introduced me to their blast cabinets.
