If you click the red box in the corner you can navigate the compiled data on CRG. And of course you can always inquire if you have difficulty. Here you go: http://www.camaros.org/seatbelt.shtml

Naturally John is right. Except for his Z, a friend always runs BBs. Never had an issue with the stock cooling set up, even when running a stock or hipo motor. Usually the same story heard: electric fan without a shroud. Performance catalogs love pushing those things.

The pinstripes on that black '67 are split also.

A longer belt will not change the rpm of the pump. Only pulley diameters will.

Sorry for the spelling error. I should know better. I've had the same gun for 25 years. It's primarily used for undercoating and chip guard. Since it's introduction other designs and manufacturers are available. You can order one or get one from your local supplier. Application of various products require viscosity and gun pressure adjustments and distances to achieve the look you want. I've never had to purchase an empty container because I always saved a couple canisters after they were empty.

Do a search here on "trunk spatter paint". There are plenty of pics and data. Note John Z's car and info. As well as pics of other survivors.

Restoration / Re: Body adjustment needed??
« on: August 24, 2009, 10:24:52 PM »
The alignment holes may or may not verify correct subframe to body dimensions. If the locating holes are dead on the geometry of the subframe/shell can still be off. After the initial subframe to body locating holes are checked; diagonal measurements confirm squareness. These are taken from "constants" on the subrame and shell. Same principle when yanking any car, whether its unibody or full frame. And you might want to check that your rear end is located properly as well.

Limited 69 knowledge. OEM or aftermarket? I have another, same bolt pattern without #s but the interlocks are formed differently. Thank you.

Use 3M super trim adhesive or DAP contact cement. Same for the v. tops and the headliner. That's SUPER, not the other.

Wix and Napa Gold are the same animal according to the Napa rep. But only the Gold. Any conflicting facts on this?

I'm betting you are having the alt tested. 715's are cheap too. Put in the good alternator, see what happens. Then put in the 715 if still a problem. The housing on the 715 MUST be grounded. 14.2 volts is your goal. How is the battery anyway? If this is still giving you grief you are going to have to get a multimeter and start checking various wire voltages.

My car will put out 12.7 volts at idle, which is fine for a 37 amp alt. And it will hit 14.2 before I get to 2 grand. Your car is still not reaching optimum output. You say it's an old harness so inspect and CLEAN all the connections and insure all EXCELLENT grounds. Before you start checking proper readings at the brown and blue wire at the VR I would have the alternator tested and put in a Wells VR715. The readings of those wires will determine why the GEN light stays on and how the system is sensing inadequate voltage.
There is a way to recalibrate a Delco VR but quite frankly I could not be bothered with a correct looking VR on my Jane and went to a 715.
Apparently your j. block was bypassed but that's not an issue now aside from cosmetics. But it would annoy me. Test the alternator? Well you know it's charging but the VR may be limiting it or it's toast. Perhaps a diode. I have them rebuilt and don't trust remans after the butchery I saw in one. Old brushes and dried out bearings in a shiny case.

While engine is running what's the voltage at the back of the alternator and at the battery?
