Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
I went to Byron Dragway yesterday, the first time I've taken the car to a track since last year. Only got two passes as there were a few problems with other cars putting liquids on the track during the day but then a horrible crash about 3/4 down the track which took about an hour and a half to clean up THEN the rain came at 3. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]
My first pass wasn't very good as I had clutch problems but my second pass I clicked off a 12.31@114. I decided to run with open headers for the first time. It didn't seem to do much but that's hard to tell with only one good pass. I did notice it seemed to rev faster. The biggest change was the adjustment I made to the QA1 shocks in the rear. I made both of them stiffer and the car really left level with little to no twist. I'm bound and determined to get into the 11's with the current setup but it takes more time at the track and I don't have/make it plus I want the car to stay together without breaking anything. I do have a over the counter 136 intake I'm thinking of gasket matching and taking some of the divider out. The current intake is a Edelbrock TM2R which works great but I think I need a dual plane for low end. The last picture is from last year.

I meant to say 163 intake.

Nice pics, love your car. Ryan |
Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
I'm making some changes to the Chevelle. I haven't liked the Hurst Competition Shifter since I put it in. It doesn't feel solid like a Super Street Shifter or a Ram Rod. I much prefer the straight rods over the bent rods....it's a much more solid feel when shifting.
My trans builder told me to try the Ram Rod. After a week I'll either throw it out in the trash or get rid of my WIFE before I take that shifter out! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img] I won't go that far but I'm going to try out the Ram Rod. If I don't like it, I have a Super Shifter for plan "C" to put in it. In other words, only the straight rods will be in the car. I have some metal fabricating to do (obviously) but here are some pictures.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
When I purchased the car from Dan, it had carpeting in it. I bought a reproduction rubber floor for it from ACC. Well, when I decided to change shifters (from Hurst Comp. Plus to Ram Rod), the hole location is in a different spot. Knowing that, I purchased a used rubber floor from a guy in Ohio at the Chevelle car show. I took a chance hoping the hole that the previous owner's cut would be close to where I need it for the Ram Rod. Saturday I got the rubber floor out and set it in the car.....it looks like it's going to work. Now I have to heat the garage up, put a space heater in the car and use a heat gun to get the floor to lay down the best that I can......I was hoping I didn't ever have to do that again 'cause it SUCKS......but such not the case.

My big concern now is getting it to lay down <span style="font-style: italic">and</span> then see how far forward I can put the bench seat without it hitting the shifter. It's not a big deal for me if it won't go all the way forward but I may have to use a pillow for my wife to get her closer to the pedals....or wood blocks on the pedals! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] Kurt |
Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
I had a bench seat in my '68 Nova with a Super Street Shifter and she had to use a pillow for that car in order to reach the pedals.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
Since I found out from the NCRS paperwork that my car was delivered to Van-T in Topeka, Kansas, I finally had some time to check and see if I could find any previous holes for the Van-T dealer emblem.
I got a small/flexible camera from work and looked in a hole on the passenger side trunk but couldn't find anything. Then I took Rick Pauley's advice and looked at the tail panel and he was right, there are the holes, 4-1/2" center to center, just like the emblem. Time to get it on before the Ohio Show.
