1969 SS 396/350 Chevelle

I have to agree...Phil's Copo Chevelle does look killer with that wheel and tire combo on it. I saw it at MCACN a couple years ago and it looked sweet.

So what tires did you end up going with on your Chevelle Damien? Any updates?

[Damien]

No updates Graeme unfortunately.
Not much has been happening on the car scene here during covid so I have been keeping myself busy with some vmx dirt bike resto stuff in the meantime.

Nothing wrong with that. Looks like fun.

Is that an RM250 there? What's the red one..a YZ?

1985 Suzuki RM80F and a 1984 Yamaha YZ100L
I have a couple of early Honda ATC 3 wheelers as well.

Hi all.
I haven't been around much lately but I'm pleased to say that the world is moving on after the spicy cough debacle and Spring has sprung Down Under so the Chevelle came out of the garage for the first time in a long time, last weekend!
Hopefully those on here that are in Florida can stay safe!

Hi gang.
I hope everyone is well and enjoying your summer!
I've been lurking but not posting much as there hasn't been a lot for me to report on.
Had some fuel delivery dilemmas recently with the fuel pick up looking like it had been mud bashing. I guess it's the result of the rubbish gas we have in Australia and a repro tank that is coming up on 17-18 years of age.
Replaced the sender with a new one I had picked up on one of my visits to your fine country, seemed to be working on the bench but installed it in the tank and it now reads empty with power to it and correct when the ignition is turned off. Anyhoo, I hope everybody enjoys the 4th celebrations.
Cheers.

Man I remember those RM’s, had a TS 100 the wimpy brother to the RM! I thought YZ were yellow? Maybe a Honda?
Cool stuff

You are correct, in the US the YZ was yellow but in Australia and Europe they were white.

Wow, that old sending unit looks terrible! If that's the OEM piece, do yourself a favor and send it off to John Wolf & Co. in Willoughby, Ohio...

They have done two for me in recent years and I have been completely satisfied with their work.

Cheers Bill, I'll have a closer look. The funny part is that as crusty as it is, it still works fine which leads me to think that it may be a factory part.
