Chevelle updates

[Too Many Projects]

Glad you have it together to drive and enjoy in the mean time. Curiosity...what does the gauge read with the tank full ?
I'm rebuilding the seats for my '66, hoping to have it presentable for shows this summer. Found out the hard way that the GTO buckets I bought as cores 15 years ago are different than Chevelle...who knew. I'd always heard they are all the same seats, not true, Back rest springs are very different.

Reads 3/4 when full, so an adjustment to the float is in order.......

I feel your pain on the seats, just went through this with the seat backs on the 409, Impala is different than Biscayne or BelAir..........which is not what the rest of the world thought when I bought the bench seat........

Your seat ordeal came to mind when I was informed about my seat issue...

A guy on Team Chevelle is really good with these seats and is making up new upper spring sets for me to convert the BOP springs to Chev. Very lucky to have found him and his willingness to help me out. VERY reasonable on cost too.
