Maintenance / Re: I broke it ! Don't think it's the clutch.

« on: May 30, 2017, 06:54:43 PM »

Often times the failed lining merely "stacks up" between the pressure plate and flywheel. This allows you to feel the pressure plate trying to release, but the clutch does not disengage - then you need to shut it down, shift into the desired gear, restart and limp home. I have seen this type of failure multiple times, and it may be what you experienced. FWIW

Maintenance / Re: 69 RF brake lock up?

Just wondering (maybe I missed it) what was the hydraulic pressures at both front calipers, while under light application? In my past life I used a set of gauges and actually verified pressures right to left, or front to back, etc., on problem vehicles (formerly a Factory rep for a truck manufacturer). This may be be a way to confirm the "cause" of your ongoing issue.

Forgot to mention you should have the air cleaner #6424487, per K19 A10, pg 258

 I believe that is the incorrect tube assembly. If you look closely at K19 A10, pg 258 it states via a note that the AIR valve assembly is installed the same as a 327 2bbl (found at K19 A9, pg257). This indicates the tube assy you need is item #15, part #3888364 (note the band for attaching the valve to the tube assy). I believe you will find that K24 A2, pg 267 is  for non A.I.R. (smog equipped engines), and it shows one bung at the fill tube, with the hose routings for both the 4bbl and 2bbl carbs (the picture is confusing, but is showing the location of the bung when the fill tube is installed for the two applications). If I'm wrong, I am sure others will correct me, but that is my opinion on your questions - hope it helps.

My 10B '67 plug has a number (again somewhat weathered) and the number appears to be 4 (8 or 9)358 (9 or 4)3. Did not want to remove it, as it appears to be the original, as the car had the factory rear antenna. I can supply a picture if you need it, when I return after the 8th of Nov.

The wire that supplies current goes through a circuit breaker that is mounted on the firewall (under the hood, above the steering column). Refer to your AIM, upc C06 sheet A1, on page 142. If you don't have an AIM, there's a free download at the General discussion Forum - hope this helps. That page also shows the switch that you inquired about. If you need further info or pictures you can PM me, and I will try to help.

X2  There is a small plastic ring that insultes the spring plate from the wheel's center hub - it looks like yours is missing in action. The part is hard to see in the link sent, but look closely and you will see it around the metal spring plate. Hope this helps.

Check your AIM, UPC 12, C2, Pg 176 for the standard wheel. Sorry I can't help more, but I have a RS with the shroud type wheel. If you don't have an AIM, there's a free download under the General discussions forum.

General Discussion / Re: Where to find a black oil fill tube

« on: February 09, 2014, 06:25:29 PM »

My early production '67 (L30) has no step in the tube  (other than the portion that goes into the intake manifold), and no tab for the return spring. Sorry I am not near the vehicle for pics. Hope this helps.

Restoration / Re: 68 Convertible Spare Tire Bracket

« on: November 27, 2013, 11:16:58 PM »

  I have a 67 convert, with the full size spare tire (14"), and will measure the location via the hole in the original factory trunk mat, if no one chimes in, as I have provided pics of the mat / hole to other members, and I believe the location is the same for 67 / 68, as long as it's the full size spare, and a convertible. PM me if you need pics or measurements. I replaced the complete trunk pan in my car and currently don't have the "J" hook mount plate installed.

 elcamino72,

  I have pics of two original caps (one from a '66 production vehicle, and one from a '67 production - with indents in top of the cap) that came off of '67's with the open pcv system, and I will send them to your posted email asap - hope they help. GW

p.s. you can repost or share these pics if you wish.

  I believe the cap you show in your post is for the "closed" pcv system  (RPO K24 shown in the AIM @ K24, sheet A2, page 267), that system has the pcv valve threaded into the  oil fill stand pipe, while the "open" system (shown in the AIM @ UPC L30, sheet A3, page 279, used the cap with the mesh in it. I personally spent a lot of time researching this very issue, and viewed some survivors before making my decision as to which cap was correct. Hope this helps to clear up these questions. JMO

You should be able to look them up at GM Parts WIKI. Google says Chevele deluxe rear panel trim clips, didn't specify the year.
