Last on my list would be anything Lexol. The worst leather cleaning and conditioner products I have ever used.

Mark, Can not really agree with your statment that Corvettes require specialist to work on them. They are only plastic Chevrolets. Parts are relatively easy to get and most GOOD mechanics should not have any rproblems working on one. We just tend to over state the car just because its old.

Vette, Where is your shop. Like to stop by and say hello.

Try Star Spangled Sports Car, Bethel, CT or The Corvette Shop, Montgomery, NY

Brian, Thanks for the help. Be sure to keep us posted. I'd like to hear how you did removing the old tranny and reinstalling the new one. Good Luck :D

Brian, Thanks for the reply. The tools you used don't appear to be anything us shade tree mechanics wouldn't already have. How about working to tolerances. Any issues??? I'm thinking about doing my transmission over next winter. The synchro need replacing.

Check sequence Did you check the total advance with or without the distributor springs installed. Should be without. If the springs are soft enough and the weights aren't binding you should get full advance with very little extar RPM, 2600-2800 max.

Maybe a simple fix You might want to check your engine idle. If it is too low you may not be drafting enough air through the radiator to get enough heat transfer. Sometime if you just rev your engine a little to 1500 you should be able to cool things down very easily. Remember when you were...

This is not that uncommon. Place the half shaft U Joint in a vise and genltly squeeze. It will pop right in with very little effort.
