    63 Steering Wheel Options

    Hello, folks, I currently have an aftermarket (14") steering wheel installed on my 63. It is comfortable, but my tolerance for 'armstrong' steering has diminished somewhat in the last 20 years. Are there any 15" factory GM steering wheels that will bolt up to my 63 steering hub? Thanks in...

    Important! Bad gas tank sender design

    Thanks for the kind words. The color is actually a tad brighter than how it appears in the picture. I have no idea what the actual color or manufacturer code is, but when I bought the car back in 1984 the seller called it 'Corvette Yellow'. I think it is very similar to a yellow available on the...

    How Does a Vented Gas Cap Work?

    John - thanks for the reply. :thumb Could you venture on opinion as to whether the pressure that builds up using the standard cap would be enough to push fuel past the inlet valve in a carburetor (leading to a hard start condition when hot)? I read elsewhere of that being a problem with the...

    How Does a Vented Gas Cap Work?

    Thanks for the reply. :thumb After further research, I found a reference in Noland Adams' restoration guide (page 94, I believe) describing the 63-67 vented gas cap as "able to relieve both pressure and vacuum". Hmmm...my brand new cap releases vacuum, but won't relieve pressure!...Am I...

    How Does a Vented Gas Cap Work?

    Funny that you mention the locking gas cap - that's exactly what I had before, and I do not remember ever experiencing the pressure problem with it. The only reason I replaced it is because it just plain wore out and was giving me problems, so I bought a new (repo) standard cap. I am seriously...

    Important! Bad gas tank sender design

    Yup, just spent the last six weeks dealing with that nonsense. ;squint: Got the first unit from a local Corvette vendor for around $80. Same design as yours, leaked from the start. Got my money back. Ordered a GM/ Delco unit ($149.00) from an online Corvette vendor, different design (used...

    How Does a Vented Gas Cap Work?

    The word "vented" is embossed in big letters on the cap. It is a brand new repro cap, purchased two months ago from a local Corvette vendor. My follow up question: Can enough pressure build up in the system to push fuel past the needle & seat valve in the carburetor (brand new Edelbrock 1406)?

    How Does a Vented Gas Cap Work?

    Hello, folks, Should the vented gas cap on our Corvettes relief pressure in both directions? Or is it a one-way relief valve? I opened the gas cap three times yesterday afternoon, and three times I experienced a substantial relief of air pressure from the tank (like opening a can of soda, only...

    Chicago Corvette Supply?

    I ordered some parts from Chicago Corvette a few years back and eventually got them after an unusually long delay. No big deal, but their lack of an online presence may deter me in the future. I recently purchased a windshield wiper motor from Al Fierke through Ebay (didn't know it/he was...
