RPM drop at idle-Carb issue?
(Preview)
The Chevelle is running great on the street. But... as I'm coming to a stop the rpm drops to about 600 rpm instead of the 900 rpm I have set the idle at.

How to tell a '69 SS vs. clone?
(Preview)
Derek, Jon, Chris (or others), what are the features of a true '69 SS Chevelle? I'm looking at a '69 and I'm sure it's a clone, but would like to know what badges, gauges, suspension, etc. an SS usually has. I know all the '70-72 differences, but not the '69's. Thanks, Stan

Anybody know this Chevelle?

This is the Chevelle I saw at PanOProg last Friday night that was for sale. Anybody know who owns it or how to reach them? It's a '69 (I think) with a BBC, auto, buckets. I have some serious buyer interest on mine and might consider this as an option for the next one!
