Saving a Chevette Part One
Loading...
Uploaded by ortamenx on May 25, 2009
So my wife wanted something little cute, and a chevy, like my nova, to drive. We found a chevette dirt cheap. Q "How much will this costs to make this run as good as your nova?" A "About as much as a fuel pump and starter for our VW. So begins the adventure of the little smashed up, busted windshield Chevette that barely can pull itself 30 mph and has no brakes. This is just a slideshow of the first few days of work, general tune up, setting the timing, checking things out. No I'm not putting a SBC in it, she still wants 30-40mpg hwy. Though I am loosing the cat, ac, and other crap it don't need. So far we are just about the cost of a new starter and fuel pumper for the VW and have 90% of the parts picked up. There will be more updates as we work on this project. By the way hate chevettes? This thing is thirty years old, half the vacuum lines are missing and the dizzy wasn't bolted down, the timing was roughly 10-15 degrees after TDC on #1 with a moving dizzy, and she still started and drove around.

I ran mine on propane for years. I had to change the head several times because the fuel was hard on the valve seats. I always forgot to put some sealer between the top of the head and the cam carrier and always had slight oil seepage...then I wrecked it..RIP..
