Gotelli's is the place you want Gotelli's is the place to go, Ted has maintained competitive pricing and is great to work with. He'll match pricing with any mail order firm you find. You can find them on El Camino, about 1 mile north of I-380 on the West side of the street. Their phone # is...

Bog Hi Knight, I'm just another backyard wrencher like a lot of us here, but it sounds much more like a carb problem than an ignition one to me. Why? The change in RPM when the trans shifts will do little or nothing to affect ignition, save for tickling the vacuum advance, but by this RPM I...

Side Pipes I've got to agree, I think Hooker makes a superior product (I've got Super-Comps on mine), and from what I saw when I was considering a set, the Hookers are the way to go. My car currently has 3" pipes all the way out (with an "X" pipe) and it sounds BRUTAL, so I can't imagine how...

Twin-Turbo Insanity Hey Twin-Turbo, I just went back through the entire thread (I skipped straight to the end to post) and could not believe the magic you're performing on your Vette; I LOVE IT!! Don't know where your US contacts for parts are, but if you need someone on the west coast (CA)...

Hey Lightning, Thanks for the kind words: I've been around a number of Cobra replicas, including my buddy Jim's, who had, believe it or not, an over-head cam small block Chevy stroker. The cam conversion was made by a guy in the central valley of CA (can't think of his name off hand), but...

'70 LT-1 When I purchased my '70 LT-1 from the previous owner he had already dropped in a ZZ-4 crate motor, but was nice enough to include the original and complete LT-1 long-block (he'd previously grenaded it), but the heads were gone. Well, I HATED the ZZ-4, even after the 425HP "Hot Cam"...

I've got a '70 coupe and I'm considering taking it out to the track for some fun, and I'd like to know if anyone has installed brake cooling duct work on their C3, and if so, do you have any insight or manufacturers you'd like to share? The car already has: VBP 330lb monoleaf QA1 adjustable...

LOL, I've been spending a bunch of time on the house as well, but my wife NEVER seems to think it's enough...and continues to wonder why she "allowed" me to build a garage/workshop in the back yard. I've enjoyed making the modifications to my car, but it is a real tough call when I change...

Hello to all the other LT-1 enthusiasts here in the forum. I've been a member for a little while but must have somehow missed the LT-1 specific area. I purchased my '70 a couple years ago as a #'s matching car, but the engine was out of the car (on a pallet w/ the incorrect heads) and a slow...

Hi Jack, I'm very familiar with Chris' system, and have come within a hairs width of ordering everything necessary to do the job, but just can't get myself to do so without first looking at an alternative method, and that is EXACTLY why I posted here, to gain feedback from the most knowledgable...

Thanks for the feedback! It's not for lack of ability that makes me consider changing over to a more efficient method of operating the light doors, in fact, part of the reason is a 600hp (on the dyno) Hilborn injected small block that pulls very little vacuum (and what it pulls it needs for the...

When I reinstalled my hood after an engine change I ran into the same problem. I ended up, VERY CAREFULLY, shimming the hood (around the perimeter) into different positions to allow the "spike" to clear the latch mechanism. While I carefully shimmed, my son applied light pressure above the...

Like many others, the vacuum system on my high powered '70 continues to develop small but problematic leaks, regardless of how many hoses, etc. I replace. I've already installed a complete vacuum hose replacement kit, numerous fittings and diaphrams, as well as added an SSBC vacuum pump to...

I'll definitely be trying it on the track, and again, thanks for the advice, I do appreciate it.

no sway bar While I can certainly see certain times/applications where I wouldn't want a rear sway bar attached to my car (experience has taught me that), but making an "all or nothing" judgement like "no bar on the "drive" end" is not a policy I'm willing to consider. Please don't get me...
