each capacitor (not illustrated). The capacitor is

shorted if both readings are zero.

6. Resistor Rl: The resistor is open if both readings

are infinite.

7. Resistor R2: Use an ohmmeter scale on which the

1800 ohm value is within, or nearly within, the

middle third of the scale. If both readings are infi-

nite, the resistor is open.

8. Resistor R3: Use an ohmmeter scale on which the

680 Ohm value is within, or nearly within, the middle

third of the scale. If both readings are infinite, the

resistor is open.

9. Resistor R4: Select an ohmmeter scale on which the

15000 ohm value is within, or nearly .within, the

middle third of the scale. If either reading is infi-

nite, the resistor is open. ~

10.
Resistor R5: Use the lowest range ohmmeter scale.

The resistor is open if either reading is infinite.

NOTE:
This resistor on some applications may

be located in the vehicle wiring harness, and not

on the panel board.

11.
Resistor R6: An ohmmeter scale on which the 150

ohm value is within or nearly within, the middle

third of the scale should be used. If both readings

are infinite, the resistor is open.

REASSEMBLY

During assembly, coat with silicone grease both sides

of the flat insulators used between the transistors and

heat sink, and also the heat sink on the side on which the

transistors are mounted. The silicone grease, which is

available commercially, conducts heat and thereby pro-

vides better cooling.'

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The new front end appearance of the 1967 Chevrolet

and Chevelle passenger cars affects the servicing and

replacement of the chassis sheet metal. Refer to Section

13 for Radiator and Grille service procedures, Section
14 for Bumpers, and Section 1A for Air Conditioning

components. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the Chevrolet

and Chevelle sheet metal components.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

HOOD ADJUSTMENT

The alignment of the hood is controlled by the position

of the hood hinges and the height of the two bumpers lo-

cated one at each side of the radiator support. The ad-

justment at the hood lock must be made after the hinges

and bumpers are properly adjusted. To align the hood

and lock proceed as follows:

HOOD HINGE (Fig. 3)

NOTE:
The body mounted portion of the hood

hinges are slotted to provide up and down move-

ment. The hood mounted end is slotted to pro-

vide forward and rearward movement.

1.
Scribe a line around the entire hinge plate to be re-

positioned.
2.
Loosen the appropriate screws and shift the position

of the hood into correct alignment using the scribe

marks to check amount of movement. Check align-

ment by tightening screws and closing the hood.

HOOD BUMPERS

Adjust hood bumpers so that hood top surface is flush

with the fender and grille top surfaces. Refer to Fig-

ures 4 and 5 for correct sheet metal adjustment dimen-

sions.

HOOD CATCH AND LOCK

The hood catch assembly (fig. 6) mounting holes are

slotted to provide adjustment for the hood lock bolt. Ad-

just the hood lock bolt until hood engages securely when

closed and hood bumpers are slightly compressed.

CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL

CHASSIS SHEET METAL 11-4

FENDERS

Fenders are adjustable with shims at the cowl and

rocker panel. To add or remove shims, loosen bolts at

shim locations (fig. 7) and carefully apply force with pry

bar to provide clearance for shim removal or installa-

tion.
SHEET METAL ADJUSTMENTS

For proper operation of doors and hood, and for pre-

sentable appearance, adjust front sheet metal to the tol-

erances shown in Figures
4-
and 5.
