Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....

Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....
Thats why they give us tech data to read even if we've accomplished the task a thousand times -- if something goes hayware, the first thing a QA/QC dude will ask: "Were you using the proper tech order/manual, etc." If you say no -- you're dead meat even if ya' did the task correctly. For me, it was petty easy -- as a Nuke Troop always had someone to assist -- the old two person concept ... always watching each others six. TAZ

Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....
I refer back to my codes daily at times. Other times, they sit on the shelf and gather dust. Always follow the directions and if you vary, better prove it works first. Science, physics and math have been around a long time, that's why they always win. .... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....
Dan;
You're not off base in any way, and welcome to The Supercar Registry! The trans I had in the car was built on an Autogear case and iron midplate with GM internals. I have a friend who's going to perform an autopsy on the box and see what--if anything--is still salvageable. If it's worth the effort, I'll get another case & tailhousing later on down the road and rebuild the box and put under the workbench for the day I put the Chevelle back to stock.

Re: Well, the Chevelle is D.O.A.....
Eric, I measured the long Muncie against the standard Muncie and...
The long one is 6 1/4" longer... The trans mount is 7 1/2" further back... The shifter mounting pad is in the same location... Hope this helps... Crash

DAMN; now that is what drag racing should be. You wanna fill the stands bring back a class where the driver actually has to shift.

Some of these "race cars" have more electonics in the cockpit then the Space Shuttle! Let go of the button, stab it and aim it ...
