    79 C3 clutch specs ?

    Thanks John It gets confusing without pulling things out, as most sites for a 79 show 10.4 and 11 with both spline configs as a replacement.

    79 C3 clutch specs ?

    My clutch stated slipping late summer last year. Its fine for just normal driving but I know its a matter of time before it can get down right dangerous. I suspect the intake may have a leak because at idle, both side exhausts blow smoke, and I see some oil pooled in one of the P.Side...

    Electrical Issue - 1978

    Most likely a printed circuit boad issue or a grounding problem. Removing the center console is not too difficult to do. Just take your time and disco the battery before you start.

    Question: Clutch Replacement

    Not sure about Centerforce twins, but I had installed A MCleod Street twin in my 94Z28 and it came pre setup with shims for correct clearance between the discs (which was critical). I expect Centerforce may be similar. I has engagement issues when I set mine up and after pulling it again, found...
