Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
just picken away at it. getting parts ready for later.
I went thru the brake valve cleaned it up and put it back together. anyone know if theres a seal kit out there for these? the ones I took out looked OK, but I dont want to get it together and have a leak. |

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...posts/id/12045 was the one talking about rebuilding all sorts of brake valves. Might try getting in touch. |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Thanks John.
I spoke with him today. he is checking to see if he has anything for that type of valve. |

BTW, nice choice of wheels! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Get them parts of your `70 Chevelle, oh wait....its a `70....you can leave them on [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Looks nice! Just do not put a repop Cowl Plenum on this real L78 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] Are you sure about the length of your Wheel valve stems....I cannot tell from these pictures. Just make sure they are not too long....that`s if your concerned with period correct length of valve stems on these wheels. Dan |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Looks great Donnie! I also love the tire & wheel choice.
|
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Thanks for the compliments.
this car will also have its original SS wheels with some Goodyear shoes. depending on what show I may go too. Dan the cowl plenum will also be a removable item. I'm not going to cut the firewall. the valve stems are not period correct there 1-1/4" (what would be correct?) |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
All black valve stem, 3/4 or 1 inch, with the black "dill" cap.

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Looks awesome love the wheel and tire combo

Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
no new pics.
I've been getting ready to start on the motor. I was just about to drop everything off last Monday to the shop that did my 70 350hp motor. when I started thinking on Sunday. (I know me thinking kinda scary) so, I put a call into Mr. Jackson to ask a few questions. after our conversation I said. if you were closer I'd have you build it. and Eric said he would love too. so at that point you have someone who wants to build a quality motor (and is meticulous) and I have someone that I'm comfortable with doing my motor work. So my L78 will be his next motor build. going to drop it off next week if everything goes right. |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
I respectfully request visitation rights for your L78 engine!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
|
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Sam, you'll have to discuss that with Eric.
this motor will be Dyno'ed with exhaust manifolds. need to find a set of head pipes to borrow down there that will bolt to manifolds any ideas Sam. |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Very cool Donnie!!
|
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
motor is in the rebuild process.
tore down the CX tranny today. anyone have one of these apart that I can compare some items with? governor has a 15 ink stamped on it. pump has a powder blue spring in it. |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
|
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Thanks Dan.
anyone have a good way give the tranny case a more correct finish. its been painted at some point. |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
Have it reskinned, Donnie.
I sent the last show car M21 case to MacNeish and he did a beautiful job restoring the natural finish. Dan |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
I'll look into that Dan. sense I havent gotten any other suggestions.
|
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
I concur w Macnish's reskinning process.
|
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
My worry is the CX tag getting damaged.
I looked into taking it off. and I dont think it can happen without pulling the head of keeper thru the tag. |
Re: Donnie`s new 1969 Dover White L78 Chevelle
I have no experience with automatics but I'm sure others here do
