The car looked and sounded great. Congrats! Bob McClurg snapped a shot or two....we'll see how they turned out next week.

Stefano, I had a lot of fun. Sorry we didn't get to talk too much...both of us were very busy. I hope to chat with you at the MCACN Show!

Where will I find the pictures that Bob took that night?

Kurt, I have a Chevelle traction bar from a 1969 Chevelle, 12 bolt rear, it really helped the chevelle's hook up and eliminate wheel hop, they were very popular back then,let me know if you want to try it, pretty easy to install, it just may get you into the mid 12's.
Very nice car, mike

Thanks for the offer Mike but I put some QA1 adjustable shocks on the car and the wheel hop is gone. They're not vintage but it's better than broken parts!

I received a phone call the other day from my engine builder to let me know that they made a mistake on the dyno. He said that the &quot;corrected&quot; setting for the weather was not set. He will be giving me a updated printout with the corrections but he was thinking it will come out around 450hp vs. 421hp. Not that it matters but it sounds good!!! :-)

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

I have been doing some research on a phone number that Dan Vasic gave me that was on a For Sale sign under the back seat of the Chevelle. As of right now I received a PDF of the Chicago Tribune from September 15, 1977.

The ad reads as follows:

&quot;CHEVELLE '69 SS396 4 sp Body gd cond., 1k. new 402 H.P., tri-power, 12 1/2-1 pistons. Much, much more. Must sell. $1500 or best offer. 252-5964/456-3198.&quot;

Does anyone recognize the numbers or the area around Chicago that they may be in? Also, I blew up the ad and pasted it into a Word document. Is there a way for me to get it onto Photobucket so I can display it?

Thanks, Kurt

Kurt,

Awesome investigation work, you truly are a &quot;Bloodhound&quot;

Wow, no we know for certain that the current paint on this SS396 Post Sedan has been on there since at least September 15th 1977....wow Elvis was dead for a mere 30 days [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

I believe 456 was in Norridge and 252 was some where around North ave between Ashland and Pulaski area.

This Vega could have belonged to a buddy of mine... it had a header on one side and a stock exhaust manifold on the other side. The rear vanels read....&quot;Suicide is Painless&quot;

It was too late to edit the post above, I had looked in an old tradin times I had from 1978 and it listed 456 as being in River grove not Norridge.

I have hit a dead end for now. It appears that in order for me to go any further I will have to go down to Chicago Library and get the Micro Film out and look the numbers up that way. Good thing there aren't a lot of people that live in Chicago! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Good luck and have fun.I sold my black 69 post sedan a couple of years ago and I really miss it.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

I had a friend drive my Chevelle Wednesday while I had the camera rolling.

He went through the gears but short shifted the first time. I told him to wind it up to 7k.....this is the result.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

The car is a lot of fun to drive and it's only going to get better with the few changes I have for it the future.

Albert, the camera I'm using is a Replay XD. It's really small and very handy. They can be mounted to a helmet, remote control cars, boats, air planes.

I even mounted it to my visor.

Replay XD

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

I went to Union Grove today to see how the new/old intake works. Well, it's hard to get a good idea when the track was like ice.

This is the only video I have of one run.

Dan wanted me to post a video up of the &quot;slight&quot; rear gear change I made. It's a quick video but needless to say I need to get the M/T ET Streets on before I take it to SCR15.

BTW....Sammy, you'll enjoy this!

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

Love it! Where did you place the camera? On the Sun Visor? Good-bye 12`s, hello 11`s! Let`s pray for good weather conditions at SCR15.

I may even race you with the BM Tribute Chevelle, it`s got a 3 barrel....don`t worry [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Just as Joel made them to order [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

Glad you liked it Dan. The camera is clipped to the visor.

11's......I doubt it but I hope to get closer to mid 12's which is still a lot from my best of 12.9.

Kurt, I've got a pair of 28x11.50 ET Streets (28x9 wide) that are more than 1/2 left, $100 for the pair, I'm about a hour NE of Janesville.

Dan, there is a Black Buick that would love to have a piece of that Black B/M car....

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

Keith,

Good to see you on here, look forward to seeing you at SCR15.

Your a month too short, I just detuned the car for the owner.....I took out the Clutch Turbo and put in a Muncie 4 Speed. The car was faster with the Automatic. I never turn down a race.....looking forward to it!

My guess is.... I`ll be looking at an N25 Bumper at the finish line [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
 

I took the car to Great Lakes Dragaway last Thursday for a little TnT.

With the 780 vacuum secondary, 163 intake and 3.73 gears, the best time I had with the car was 12.90@108 with ET Streets on the car at SCR14 in Joliet.

I changed the carb to a 850DP and the intake to a Edelbrock TM2R. The gears got bumped up to 4.56's. My first pass was [email protected]. After some small adjustments and a few more passes, my last run was a [email protected].

Here's a picture of my last launch which was at about 4000 rpm's.
