[Chevelle-list] Questions

[Jim Buckingham]

Thanks for the help.  Yeah was early for me too.  I did not think the
driveshaft made any difference.  Never notice when I took it all apart 5
years ago.  The distributor just seemed odd was all, since the timeing and
all lined up .

Jim, 
I'm assuming that you've removed the yoke from the transmisson end of the
driveshaft and just have u-joints attached right now? My first guess would
be to put the longer taper toward the transmission, but I'm not sure that it
really matters, unless there's some kind of clearance issue.
As for the second question, I'm just proud that I figured out that you were
talking about an HEI distributor. (It's still early for me). Usually the
vacuum port points at about a 45* angle from the firewall, and the connector
is aimed at the brake booster. Since we don't have tach-drive distributors
like the vettes, it isn't as critical to work with the rotor and housing to
get the placement perfect.

I'm even less sure about the TCS. Seems like on the vettes, there was a
sensor on the passenger side head, and I thought it only had two wires. You
might want to look at an AIM to get a better idea.

I have a couple of really dumb questions.

First the drive shaft, which of the tapered ends goes where. One end gas a
taper that is about 10-24 inches long and the other has about 6-8.

Second, HWI where dow the connection point??? Mine is pointed directly at
the power brack booster. Seems strange I though I remembered them pointing
more towards the fron. The vac port points at about a 45 degree angle across
the passenger side valve cover.

Third, wiring for TS. I don't have TCS anymore and wondered which wires went
to it.. I think there are 3 connectors, just not sure which ones.

Thanks,

Jim
