Thx Tom,..much appreciated

I need to find out the replacement capacitor to repair my "power antenna" lead cable. I believe the original is a Polystyrene Capacitor with the number "75" written on it and also has a capital "J" written under the "75" and unfortunately no longer made. I see generic power antenna cables...

Need advice on Dynamic ECM Tuning. I've installed the Dynamic programmable ECM on my 1982 Berlina (C3) an now need a tuner to program it to my set up. It plugs directly into a laptop. Can anyone tell me how much time it should take to program? EBL_Flash Thx, John

That was right, but we had still had to move it to relocate the distributor by one tooth to get in line so the distributor cover would fit over. A vac line from the map sensor was on with cruise control so we changed that and it runs but still not right. We decided to put the rest of the car...

It could b 180 degrees off. I don't know what else to check. I have a mechanic friend coming to look at it tonight and will let you know.

I got the fuel pump working. Believe it or not all I had to do was connect the tail lights. Now I have fuel and it fires a little as soon as I turn the key. Then nothing. Once it tried to run backwards a little. I believe it's time for my mechanic friend to have a look at it. Thx for the...

That makes good sense. But I can get the engine started and my reason to check the codes. If I ground the fuel pump will that tell me if it's working or has a problem? I thank you for your help. John

I'm trying to start the engine after a rebuild and frame off restoration and I'm getting an Engine light on the dash. I'm trying to retrieve the fault code as advised on this web page. I'm trusting this picture is correct for the ground and diagnostic locations on a 1982 Corvette and placed...

Hopefully someone can help me with this. If you take a 1963-64 Corvette with 327, stock coil springs and change to the heavier 460 pound, what could be expected for the difference in ride height? Both are new coils and they are the same dimensions only the stock one measures 12-1/2 inches...

I need to remove and replace the boot on one of my ball joints, it's cracked. And since it's all apart I'd like to replace the rest of them too. Can you or anyone explain how to remove the boot and replace with a new one? Also I need the boots and would like to replace with the original ones...

Thx for the welcome Rob. Much appreciated.

Welcome Dracula. I love your Berlina. Just so you know I saw yours on the net and your black & burgundy colours inspired me to buy mine. Was looking at others when I came across it. I found it the day it was posted on the net at 7 pm and bought it at 7am the next morning. They had 8...

If I take delivery before Feb 28 I get a 5 year warranty. I really don't need it until April because we have long winters.

Hello Bill I just placed a deposit on a 2014 Black Chieftain. So I'm selling my 2002 Indian Chief but it's Silver. It's been a fun bike and wasn't planning to sell until I saw the Chieftain. If the 02 Chief doesn't sell I will be a collector. Thx for the warm welcome. John
