What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

[SS Shaun]

yeah i didnt do that but the the final straw was when i got everything together it wasnt lining up and then i looked at the wheel cylinder and found that it was completely wrong its about 1 inch longer then the stock one. I spent $158 bucks on all my parts i and tools i am going to return all of it i am so up set over it!

Drove the '67 to a local cruise night and out for dinner last evening...the first miles on the new engine.
Ran perfect...and NO leaks!
Amazing what losing 100 cubes and a big double pumper carb will do for gas mileage. This 396 with the Qjet used about 1/3 of what I would have burned with last year's engine.

Good to hear ,how was the cruise in ? I didnt feel up to going as I screwed up my shoulder and back at work on friday.

Sorry to hear about your injury John.

The Acworth cruise was PACKED!! A beautiful night...saw Dewayne and Gwen there too. I looked for you and Joan...also thought I'd FINALLY meet up with Eric.

Funny thing is, I picked up 141 cubes and GAINED mpg on the highway compared to the small-block! I managed 16 mpg doing 80+ on the way back from Columbus last weekend on the motors break-in run! Completely blew me away! I am sure city will be another story...

Yeah, I was at the speed shop tinkering on my car again. The thing keeps throwing alternator belts so I finally made the decision to ditch the March bracket and go with the factory set up (just don't like how it looks.) Should have nearly everything wrapped up by the end of this week, including A/C so I will be ready to hit the local shows again!

John,

I have a storage bin with two complete brake & spindle assemblies ready to go. I'll plan on bringing them to the Peach State show unless you decide you want them before.

Took my clutch fan over to my motor today so we can fire it one more time before putting it back in the car. Plan to paint the motor next week.
