Half the fun of owning a Chevelle is restoring it but you want to be sure and restore it to its original specs. The problem is that when you buy a classic car, you are usually the fifth, sixth, seventh and even tenth owner. This means that parts have been replaced with other parts, so you are going to have to go over the whole car and start replacing adapted parts with authentic Chevy chevelle auto parts.

Remember the lyric from the song knocking on Heavens door: “Summer time done come and gone. My, oh My….” That was the feeling you got and still do every time you got into that Chevelle 1967 and drove out on those open roads.  Those were the days when every one was a rebel, everyone loved the fast, free life, and man those muscle cars were the greatest and still are!

There was no better time for the car industry or for the car lover than the 1960’s. That was the time when you could really feel the power of the car beneath you,  and one of these great muscle cars was, and still is, the Chevelle. This is one of the most famous muscle cars of all time and one of the best Chevrolet ever came out with during the car golden age.

When you drive this car you can feel the power beneath the hood permeate all your senses. In fact the transmission on this car was the strongest Chevrolet made that year, there were only two versions, that were able to handle this big LS6 engine. One was called the “rock crusher” and the “turbo hydromatic.”  Supposedly the rock crusher got its name from having diamonds dropped in the gearbox, and it is said that the transmission crushed the diamonds, before it ever took the gears out. The Chevelle 1967 is powerful, wide, and has all the features of one of America’s greatest muscle cars. This is the perfect dream car, the one you always dreamed of owning, but just never seemed to get around to actually buying it, or the one you had and can never forget!

Movies like Gone in Sixty Seconds, and The Last Ride, have made muscle cars even more popular than they ever were before. Among one of the most popular muscle cars of today is the 1969 Chevelle.

The reason this muscle car is so popular is because it was among the most popular model and the best made during the Chevrolet golden age. The Chevelle sported a top engine spec, the same as the El Camino and had a V8 7.4 litre engine and could reach 100km/h in about 6 seconds.

Today this is a relatively inexpensive classic car that can easily be restored to its original state and give you hours of driving enjoyment.  The 1969 Chevelle was and still is a car that exemplifies Chevrolet technology of its time.

There are people that opt for the 65 chevelle p/s conversion kit V8, but before getting into changing the engine out you want to make sure that the engine series for your 65 chevelle are designed for your specific model.

Chevy used casting numbers on the engine block, the intake and exhaust manifolds, and the cylinder heads. These were used to identify the series of the engine used in a specific chevelle model. To figure out if the casting numbers on engine parts or a conversion kit are the right ones for your engine you need an engine casting number decoder book.

This book will help you in many situations so lets say you are looking for 65 chevelle engine parts and you are at a flea market or a swap meet and you see that someone has some engine parts for sale, you can look up the casting numbers to see if those parts will fit your 65 chevelle. If you want to do it the easy way then just look online for a 65 chevelle p/s conversion kit V8 and purchase it from a reliable seller.

Remember the Starsky and Hutch show, and the movie The Fast and the Furious. This type of movie and our natural love of American cars has brought back the love of the old muscle car and many of us love to restore them. One of the most popular cars to restore is the Chevy Chevelle and those of us that are in the process of restoration, or those of us that love the chevelle know of the power of the 2bl Carb for the 1967 chevelle.

Holley Carburators and high performance vehicles have gone hand in hand for a very long time. When the Chevelles first came out the Holley carbs were a part of their performance and a part of what made them extremely powerful. The chevelle has always relied on the Holley carb and “Thank God” new Holley carbs are still available both in the 2bl version and the single. Installing a 2bl carb for a 1967 chevelle is possible and whether you install it or not in your 67 chevelle really depends on what you want out of the car.

You can find an original Holley carb at a swap meet, an online advertisement, a machine shop, or you can contact Holley themselves and get a new carb.
