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
WHEELS
Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro, Chevy n, and Corvette
are base equipped with welded steel wheels. Five studs
with nuts fasten each wheel to the front hub or rear axle
flange. Disc brake equipped vehicles (except Chevrolet
and Corvette) require special 14 inch diameter wheels
with a revised design for clearance, Chevrolet disc brake
equipped vehicles have 15 in. diameter wheels as do all
Corvettes.
Chevrolet station wagons, Chevelle Super Sport 396,
Corvette and Camaro Super Sport 350 are base equipped
with 6 in. width wheels. All other vehicles have 5 in.
width wheels, except Chevy n 100, 300 and 500 Series
Sedans, which have 4 in. width wheels.
Do not install 6 inch width wheels or snow chains on
Chevrolets equipped with rear fender skirts.
TIRES
The factory installed tires on Chevrolet passenger
cars are selected to provide the best all around tire
performance for all normal operation. They are de-
signed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and in-
cluding the specified full rated load capacity of the
automobile when inflated as recommended in the Vehicle
Capacity Rating and Recommended Tire Inflation Pres-
sures Table (see Specifications).
Optional Oversize and 8-Ply Rating Tires
{Chevrolet and Chevelle Only)
Oversize or 8-ply rating tires are not necessary on
passenger cars for normal requirements. However, an
extra margin of tire service is available when these
options are used at loads up to and including full rated
load.
Optional oversize 4-ply rating and/or 8-ply rating
tires are available on models as indicated in the Tire
Usage Chart (see Specifications). On some models (ex-
ample—Station Wagon), space limitations do not permit
the use of a larger size tire; hence, the 8-ply rating
tire is an available option.
In either case, these tires are applicable to extended
operation at or near full rated load or for trailer towing
when an extra margin of tire service is desired. How-
ever, use of a larger tire or an 8-ply rating tire should
not be construed as permitting an increase in the full
rated vehicle load (see Specifications).
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TIRES
Inflation Pressures
To ensure the proper tire inflation pressure for the
owners particular requirements follow the recommenda-
tions in the Vehicle Capacity Rating and Recommended
Tire Inflation Pressures Table (seeSpecifications). Keep
tires properly inflated, and check inflation pressures
periodically. This will ensure the best tire life and riding
comfort, over the full range of driving conditions.
Inspection
Every few thousand miles and at each lubrication, tires
should be checked for sharp objects or stones in the
tread. H tire is punctured, it should be repaired using
one of several repair kits available through tire manu-
facturers1 outlets.
Wear
Misalignment
This is wear due to excessive toe-in or toe-out. In
