Originality / Re: L-65 vs LM-1

« on: November 26, 2010, 09:07:21 PM »

For a few,
The LM1, in most cases got a 12 bolt and the L65 a 10 Bolt. In transmissions, the LM1 and SS cars got the Muncie MC1 as the base and upgraded 4 speeds, the L65 was a saginaw for the base transmission(s).

"The LM1 was replaced in January of 1969 by the L65 engine option, a 350 with a 2-barrel carb, rated at 250hp and priced at $21.10. Other than the carb, intake, and distributor changes, it was the same engine as the LM1. It would appear that this was a minor change with only a rated 5 hp reduction. But the effect on the L65 powertrain was dramatic."

(emphasis mine)

Yep, that it. I thought I added it.
Looks like it went for good money with the NOM and detail issues....

Just saw this tag and it looked odd, but I know some verts have off tags.

General Discussion / Re: '69 SS L48 Air Cleaner

« on: February 11, 2010, 11:01:39 PM »

Got a photo? I've never seen a GM air cleaner lid with an O-ring seal.

Here's one from a 69 LM1, same as the L48, and yes it does have the rubber O-Ring seal.
Sorry for the quality, cell phone pics. Hope these help.

The quadrajet was only put on the L34 and L35 396 cars, I think.  The VIN ends with 520387, made about the 4th day of February, I think.

Is there any way to tell if the car came with a 325 versus a 350 hp 396?

Thanks again!

And the L48 and LM1 cars as well......

Rich,
First thing we did was image Jerry's computer. In fact, that's how we upgraded him from his old drive to new. Unfortunatley, we discovered he is woefully out of date on Windows/Office upgrades. we will continue to encourage Jerry to move to Outlook...
Best,
John

Sounds like you have it under control!

Jerry,
One of my guys sent me this as well, it's a Juno export utility to export the Juno FRM files to files that can be imported to other mail systems, such as "outlook" (although outlook .pst files start choking around 2gb data) .

http://ephemeraleuphoria.com/media/juno5bdb.html  for the emails

http://www.filetransit.com/files.php?name=Juno_Mail_Server  for the Juno address book

It might be a good time to take John's advice and switch. You could even have john set up an email @z28camaro.com for you. Hosted email is pretty cheap these days. Just a thought,

Jerry,
I asked several of my engineers and none had any juno specific advice. One sent me this link about the same problem with 5.0 somewhere else, and might provide some info.

http://forums.techguy.org/web-email/764133-trouble-juno-software-email.html

As always, before trying to fix anything make sure you have a backup of what you have.

In fact, I would recommend that you ask the guys at your shop to make a vmware "image" of your system, this is the ultimate backup as it makes an image file of the whole OS/data and you can run that "virtual" pc in another pc.

We have several older programs at a railroad customer that willnot run on newer PC's that we run in virtual windows. We also do this in expert witness cases to keep the data integrity.

Hope this helps some, and as you have helped me, feel free to call me if you want to ask any questions.

Bummer, thought I learned something new......
Thanks for the heads up.

Someone also pointed out that in that floorpan shot you can see a seam near the tunnel, meaning that somone replaced that floorpan at some point. So, not as pristine as first thought, but still a LM1 vert.

Thanks Guys,

Rich
