Re: Chevelle updates
Our very own Tony N. a.k.a. "scuncio" made a little road trip today from Michigan to Ohio to drop off a 12 bolt rear for the Chevelle. This one's a <span style="text-decoration: underline">correct</span> early rear end (Nov. `66 for my December `66 built car), so no more fussing with custom offset wheels in the back!

For those who haven't met him, Tony is good people. It was a true pleasure. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
As of this afternoon the Chevelle now has a new set of shoes, M/T 275/60 DR's in the back and BFG Comp T/A's (225/70) in the front. I'll get pics up later.
Unfortunately Tony wasn't able to hang out long enough for me to get the tires swapped. As such, Tony got the last ride with the Goodyears on the car. I do need to note that from the last time I drove it to today I did drop the rear tire pressure down from 23 to 19.5 lbs.
I did my best to give Tony an E-ticket ride. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
While 1st and 2nd gears were as useless as before, this time 3rd gear hooked, and before I knew it I was on the limiter at 6800. I pulled it into 4th and backed it down.
Hopefully Tony will give his impressions when he has the chance. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
