1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details

[SS427]

The third spade is broken off. It would be in the upper right corner of your picture and would be on the opposite end of the metal strip that is riveted to the bakelite.

Because of this you cannot connect it correctly. The black/pink wire should go to that missing terminal end. Where you have it now is actually a locating tab that the two prong connector mounts up against. However, it will still function correctly where you have it.

Thanks Rick,
Now i know why the last owner tucked that wire away in the Wire gutter.
I'll have to live with the Broken one for now until i find a good used one still rivited to the original wire gutter.
At least it will work hooked up like i showed in my photo as i see it runs to the same connection. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Time to make an Ebay Search.

Hey Danny
Nice Job on the details, this post is very helpfull for me as i am restoring my chevelle.
The Photo you have of the Wiper Motor helped me finish wrapping the repro wires to factory specs.
Keep up the good post.
Do you have any photos of the Radiator, i would like to see what that looks like.
Thanks.

Thanks, i see you are new to the SCR welcome.
Sure i can post my Radiator for you, also will include the NOS Water pump. Original Radiator was rebuilt by the last owner just before i bought the car. He added an &quot;IF&quot; side tank to go to a 4 core but i also recieved the &quot;IA&quot; side tank with the car. If you look closely there was a repair done Just over the &quot;H&quot; were the &quot;Harrison&quot; Logo is.
Last Motor ran super cool with a 160 degree thermostat and the 4 core system. I will re-install it the way it is set up now. The LS6 is an original 3:31 Geared car so it does not have the tab on the top Rad cover but the bottom does have the extension tab on the drivers side rad cradle frame.

Thanks Greg,
Sharp Eye, it's amazing what you can see on the computer that i can't see with my eyes, i guess old age is creeping up on me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
I'll save your photo in my files.

You are most welcome, I have a bit of experience with the these things. I did notice that you do not have the typical washer behind the like the Novas have.

That is a great thread you have there Greg.
I see what you mean, the Nova always had the washer behind the rivets and on my chevelle there is no washer behind the rivets.
Maybe other guys here can check and see if there Atlanta built chevelle is done in the same fashion as mine. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I have a tip for a sagging Wire Gutter unit, i used a heat gun to heat up the plastic and after it softened up a bit i put a weight (Like a heavy flat Book) to sit over the whole unit for awhile.
It is nice and tight again without the plastic sagging down with a large opening on the top keeping the wires in place a lot better.

I have one of those 3961573 parts that is still riveted to a gutter, but I can't tell if the gutter is the same as yours. If you can post a good shot, I will compare them.
