NOTE: Under prolonged dusty driving condi-

tions,
it is recommended that these operations

be performed more often. Every 12,000 miles

or 12 months the valve should be replaced.

Connecting hoses, fittings, flame arrestor and

crankcase breather cap (where used) should be

cleaned. At every oil change the system should

be tested for proper function and serviced, if

necessary.

FUEL FILTER

Replace filter element located in carburetor inlet if

flooding occurs, if engine surges during constant speed

operation (pulsating effect) or if poor performance is

experienced during acceleration or at higher speeds.

AIR CLEANER

NOTE: Under prolonged dusty driving condi-

tions,
it is recommended that these operations

be performed more often.

POLYURETHANE TYPE-

Every 12,000 miles clean element in solvent, squeeze

out solvent, then soak in engine oil and squeeze out

excess.

OIL WETTED PAPER ELEMENT TYPE-

First 12,000 miles inspect or test element; if satis-

factory, re-use element but recheck every 6,000 miles

until replaced. Element must not be washed, oiled,

tapped or cleaned with an air hose.

BATTERY TERMINAL WASHERS

Battery terminals have felt washers between top of

case and cable connections to minimize corrosive action

of battery acid. These felt washers should be saturated

with engine oil every 6,000 miles.

DISTRIBUTOR

4 and 6-Cylinder Engine—Remove distributor cap and

rotate lubricator 1/2 turn at 12,000 mile intervals. Re-

place at 24,000 mile intervals.

8-Cylinder Engine—Change cam lubricator end for end

at 12,000 mile intervals. Replace at 24,000 mile

intervals.

REAR AXLE AND 3-SPEED AND

OVERDRIVE, 4-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS

The passenger car operates under the most severe

lubrication conditions at high speed and requires a hypoid

lubricant which will meet this condition.

Recommended Lubricants

Standard Rear Axles—SAE 90 "Multi-Purpose" gear

lubricant.

Positraction Rear Axles—Use special Positraction

lubricant.
CAUTION: Straight Mineral Oil gear lubricants

must not be used in hypoid rear axles.

Transmissions—SAE 90 "Multi-Purpose" gear

lubricant.

The SAE 90 viscosity grade is recommended for year

round use. However, when extremely low temperatures

are encountered for protracted periods during the winter

months, the SAE 80 viscosity grade may be used.

"Multi-Purpose" Gear Lubricants

Gear lubricants that will satisfactorily lubricate hypoid

rear axles have been developed and are commonly re-

ferred to as ' 'Multi-Purpose" gear lubricants meeting

U.S.
Army Ord. Spec. MIL-L-2105B.

These lubricants can also be satisfactorily used in

manual transmissions.

CAUTION: With Positraction rear axles use

special Positraction lubricant.

"Multi-Purpose" gear lubricants must be manufac-

tured under carefully controlled conditions and the

lubricant manufacturer must be responsible for the

satisfactory performance of his product. His reputation

is the best indication of quality.

Lubricant Additions

The lubricant level in the axle and transmission hous-

ings should be checked periodically. (Every 6,000 miles.)

It is recommended that any additions required to bring

up the lubricant level be made using the same type lubri-

cant already in the housing.

When checking lubricant level in transmission or rear

axle the unit being cheeked should be at operating

temperature. With unit at operating temperature the

lubricant should be level with bottom of the filler plug

hole.
If the lubricant level is checked with the unit cold

the lubricant level should be 1/2 inch below the filler

plug hole.

Lubricant Changes

The rear axle lubricant does not require changing for

the life of the vehicle. If additions are needed, or when

refilling the axle after service procedures, use lubricants

described above.

POWERGLIDE TRANSMISSION

NOTE: Every 12,000 miles, it is recommended

that the Powerglide low band be adjusted as

specified in Section 7 of this manual.

Every 6,000 miles--Check fluid level on dipstick with

engine idling, selector lever in neutral position, parking

brake set and transmission at operating temperature. If

fluid level is below full mark on dip stick, adding a small

amount of Automatic Transmission Fluid, General Motors

Automatic Transmission Fluid (Part Numbers 1050568-

69,
70) is recommended. If this fluid is not obtainable,

use Automatic Transmission Fluid Type 'A' bearing the

mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter

'A'.
Recheck fluid level on dip stick and again add a

small amount of fluid if needed to bring level to full

mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.

LUBRICATION 0-16

Every 12,000 miles (more frequently*, depending on

severity of service, if vehicle is used to pull trailers,

carry full loads during high ambient temperatures,

operate in mountainous terrain or operate under other

severe conditions--Remove fluid from the transmission

sump and add one and a half quarts of fresh fluid for

Camaro and Chevy II and two quarts for Chevrolet,

Chevelle, and Corvette. Operate transmission through all

ranges and check fluid level as described above.

•Except if vehicle is equipped with transmission pro-

vided in heavy duty service options. If so equipped,

drain converter and pump every 12,000 miles and add

approximately seven and a half quarts of fresh fluid

for Chevy II and nine quarts for Chevrolet and Chevelle.

TURBO HYDRA-MATIC

Lubrication. recommendations for the Turbo Hydra-

Matic are the same as outlined for the Powerglide

transmission except for fluid capacity and filter change

listed below.

After checking transmission fluid level it is important

that the dip stick be pushed all the way into the fill tube.

Every 12,000 miles — after removing fluid from the

transmission sump, approximately 7 1/2 pints of fresh

fluid will be required to return level to proper mark on

the dip stick.

Every 24,000 miles, or at every other fluid change--

the transmission sump strainer should be replaced.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS

It is necessary to remove the wheel and hub assembly

to lubricate the bearings. The bearing assemblies should

be cleaned before repacking with lubricant. Do not pack

the hub between the inner and outer bearing assemblies

or the hub caps, as this excessive lubrication results in

the lubricant working out into the brake drums and

linings.

Front wheels of all passenger car models are equipped

with tapered roller bearings and should be packed with a

high melting point water resistant front wheel bearing

lubricant whenever wheel and hub are removed.

CAUTION: "Long fibre" or "viscous" type

lubricant should not be used. Do not mix wheel

bearing lubricants. Be sure to thoroughly clean

bearings and hubs of all old lubricant before

repacking.

The proper adjustment of front wheel bearings is one

of the important service operations- that has a definite

bearing on safety. A car with improperly adjusted front

wheel bearings lacks steering stability, has a tendency to

wander or shimmy and may have increased tire wear.
The adjustment of these bearings is very critical. The

procedure is covered in Section 3 of this manual under

Front Wheel Bearings—Adjust,

MANUAL STEERING GEAR

Check lubricant level every 36,000 miles. If required,

add EP Chassis Lubricant.

POWER STEERING

On models equipped with power steering gear, check

fluid at operating temperature in pump reservoir. Add

GM Power Steering Fluid, or, if this is not available, use

Automatic Transmission Fluid "Type A" bearing the

mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter

'A'
to bring level to full mark on dip stick.

AIR CONDITIONING

After the first 6,000 miles, check all hose clamp

connections for proper tightness.

Every 6,000 miles check sight glass under the hood,

after the system has been in operation for several

minutes. Sight glass should be clear but may, during

milder weather, show traces of bubbles. Foam or dirt

indicate a leak which should be repaired immediately.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER

Check level every 6,000 miles and maintain 1/4" below

lowest edge of each filler opening with GM Hydraulic

Brake Fluid Supreme No. 11.

PARKING BRAKE

Every 6,000 miles, apply water resistant lube to park-

ing brake cable, cable guides and at all operating links

and levers.

CLUTCH CROSS-SHAFT

Periodic lubrication of the clutch cross shaft is not

required. At 36,000 miles or sooner, if necessary;

remove plug, install lube fitting and apply CHASSIS

LUBRICANT.

CHASSIS LUBRICATION

For chassis lubrication, consult the lubrication chart.

It shows the points to be lubricated and how often the

lubricant should be applied.

The term "chassis lubricant" as used in this manual,

describes a water resistant EP chassis grease designed

for application by commercial pressure gun equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CHEVROLET, CHEVELLE,
AND
CAMARO

Components
of the
Chevrolet, Chevelle,
and
Camero

heaters
are
attached
to the
firewall
on the
right side
of

the vehicle. The blower
and air
inlet assembly and water

hoses
are
located on the engine side
of
the firewall while

the heater core and distributor duct
are on the
passenger

side.

The heater operates
on
outside
air
only with
the

blower receiving
its
airflow from
the
cowl vent plenum

chamber.

Since
the
unit
has no
water valve, water circulation

keeps
the
core
hot at all
times.
Air
passing through
the

core receives maximum heat from
the
core.

In operation, three levers control
all
heater opera-

tions.
The
AIR-FAN lever
is a
combination control;

moving
the
lever half-way opens
the
AIR door
(by
means

of
a
bowden cable)
to
supply outside
air to the
three

speed blower. Further movement
of the
lever operates

the blower.
The
other levers depend on bowden cables
to

operate
the
diverter doors located
in the
distributor

duct
to
control heater output and operation.

At
the
heart
of
the heater operation
is the
temperature
door.
Air
from
the
blower follows parallel paths through

the distributor duct, with
one
path passing through
the

heater core
and the
other path bypassing
the
core.
The

temperature door, operated
by the
TEMPERATURE
con-

trol lever,
is
placed
in the
duct
so
that when
it
closes
off

the path from
the
heater core,
it
allows ambient airflow

through
the
unheated path.
In the
opposite position only

heated airflow
is
allowed. Final heater output tempera-

ture
is
dependent upon
the
proportion
of
heated
and

unheated
air
blended together according
to the
setting
of

this temperature door.
To
insure positive closing
of
this

door when
the
heat lever
is in the off
position,
a cam

lock device
is
utilized
in the
control linkage
of the

Chevelle heater only.

Just beyond
the
temperature damper door
is the Air

door, operated
by the
AIR-FAN control lever, which
is

the
air
on-or-off control. This door will
be
open when-

ever
the
heater blower
is in
operation.

The defroster door, operated
by the
DEFROSTER

lever, acts
to
divert
the
heated
air
flow
up
through
the

defroster ducts
for
de-fogging, defrosting
or
de-icing

operations.

Figures
1 and 2
illustrate airflow through
the
heater.
