70 chevelle A/C help please

moparcolt — Tue, 21 May 2013 00:52:52 GMT

I am working on a 70 SS 396 Chevelle with factory air. I am trying to get this system to work but have run into a couple issues.

I cant seem to get the clutch on the compressor to engage. I can run a jumper wire over from the battery and it works fine, but cant get the heat, A/C controls in the dash to turn it on.

I checked all the fuses and that is all good but does anyone have a wiring diagram of the A/C system? which fuse is it and what wires should be hot up to the controls?

Also there is one vacuum hose that was torn off,hanging under the dash and I dont know where it is supposed to go? it is all black (no stripe on it) and comes off of a white plastic tee right up by the controls, but I dont know where it is supposed to end up? when the motor is running it has vacuum on it,

any diagrams or explanation would be great

Headliner Needed....

BigRed-L72 — Tue, 21 May 2013 00:45:47 GMT

I searched but I couldn`t find a recent thread on who`s makes a real nice headliner kit for a 71 Chevelle ?

Another question..
I`m thinking my Chevelle doesn`t warrant/deserve the NOS parts I have here and I`d probably be further ahead putting them on the 'bay.
The car is almost ready to sell and in my estimation it won`t bring any more money whether or not it has the NOS/OEM parts on it.

So, who also makes good reproduction pieces of the grill, sill plates, rocker panel covers, and wheel well trim and an outside rear view mirror ??

72 Chevelle SS Electrical Problem

JoeTennessee — Tue, 21 May 2013 00:25:54 GMT

I have a 72 Chevelle SS 454 that has an electrical problem. Everything will be fine and I'm driving it and then I stop say at a store then try to start it again everything is dead electrical. Wait about 30 minutes and it all comes back. It hasn't gone dead while driving so far. Any clues as what to look for?

From the NMCA event this weekend at Pomona as related in Dan's thread...here is that picture Mike Morgan took and a vid of his last pass...his car ran great all weekend and we doing 1.33/1.35 60's on a pretty good track. I think he did one 1.45 60' on the back tires Saturday...

unfortunately he went .012 red but had a great pass with a 9.726 on a 9.72...:thumbsup:

the vid is a little long but you get to see a little of Pomona...:D

.030 Over — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:52:54 GMT

I have a 72 Chevelle. I just put an M-21 in and for the life of me I can't figure out how the neutral switch mounts to the pedals or bracket under the dash or what. Has anyone got a diagram or something? Thanks.

Tornado in Moore OK...

Xplantdad — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:48:21 GMT

I just got through texting with Jacquie (they have no TV or cell service, just the availability to text). She's fine, the tornado passed 2 miles north. She said it was so big, she didn't even realize it was a tornado at first!

One of my relatives lives in the Moore neighborhood that took the direct hit. Their house is completely gone. Luckily, no one was at home.

I will keep people updated with what I hear...

Prayers Needed

pist0lpete — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:40:16 GMT

Guys-

The tornado that just went through Moore Oklahoma (just south of Oklahoma City) looks like it was very devastating. Had a close call myself yesterday but this Tornado was much much stronger. Please pray for the families who lost loved ones and their property. Especially be praying for the kids in the schools that were hit. Such a tough deal this is basically the same exact area that one of the most powerful tornados on record hit back in 1999.

El Camino tailgate clips for trim

2BlueLS6's — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:26:17 GMT

NOT for the upper trim, but the two middle mouldings. I need the type for the mushroom headed rivets. Supplier sent type that requires holes through the gate and said others aren't available. I thought I remembered square plastic blocks that slip on the rivits for all but the outers.

69 350

Rookie69 — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:10:31 GMT

I have a 69 Chevelle with a 350 in it. Just about everything is stock, except the engine, and I was told it has between 200-220hp. Is it possible to bring that to around 350 with exhaust and headers ect?
