1970 Chevelle with the L78 engine
(396 CI w/375HP). I have owned the car since September of 2003. It was delivered with 29413 miles on the odometer;
it now has 32568 which represent about 300 miles per year. I will not use adjectives like “awesome” (the Grand
Canyon & Great wall are more deserving of the moniker), “born” (it was "produced" on Oct, 21st 1969 in Atlanta
GA), since it is, a car, but in this case, a rare investment. There are a few hundred LS6 cars out there for sale
on any given day. I suspect a few more then actually were manufactured, aka: 67 Tri Carb Vettes and 69 1/2
Z-28’s. Even the $100K cars have flaws, for example the radio ground (Page 878 of the ASM) is never on any of
them. Take notes kids:
I have original build sheet (see picture) it is old and yellow but I took the picture. The block is replacement
CE/CKO and the heads set for unleaded gas. In every way I tried my damndest to adhere to my very dog eared
assembly manual. I have about 25 lbs of other books, journals and receipts that will be in the trunk of your
investment. I trudged the junk yards in five states to get OEM parts whenever possible.So, the fan, coil, alternator, oil cap, radiator cap, clips etc. are OEM. The block is a CE/CKO (402 4
speed)factory warranty replacement and the heads set up for unleaded gas. I am too stooped to rig stuff
regardless, and commons sense dictates that “rigging” while lending individuality, always decreases the value.
While it's fun to buy $500 in chrome at WalMart, you will need to find people to admire your egocentric handiwork.
It's a hell of a lot harder to go OEM, ***junkyards are lousy with woodticks, wasps and lack proper restroom
facilities.
I consistently rebuild the damn Holley carb every spring. Have the OEM alternator, fuel pump, (changed out all the
fuel lines), replaced the fuel tank, correct exhaust system (with resonators) added an NOS AM Radio. Annually
change all fluids, drained the tank, and blew out the fuel lines. Use Teflon gaskets on the bowls of the
ridiculously expensive 4557 correct Holley. Car has console, buckets added by the previous owners. The car is a high end driver, you cannot eat off the chassis as it is dealer rustproofed. My aforementioned lack of
a life did not include this painstaking removal process for a driver. I have never been to a car show where the
couple with the lawn chairs (that match the paint on the car) were dining off the rotisserie floor (light, dull red
) pan. These 900mg lithium control types always have that “Look but Don’t Touch” sign on their life defining
Chevelle.

Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024
Fri, May 31 2024As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
