    Help! HOT AIR!

    Elliott, my 1979 has the same problem but already has the inline shut off installed under the car so it doesn't show and it takes care of the problem. I turn it off at the beginning of the warm season and open it back up in the Fall. I have talked to my brother who owns a corvette repair shop...

    Question: Problem starting cold

    I spent 11 years working on cars and trucks with quadrajets and got very good at it. I hated working on any other carbs. First thing you need to do is take the carb off. Drain all of the fuel and then take the base plate off. Try not to tear the gasket when you seperate them. The middle...

    what a pretty c3

    It says "Body Off Restor" why would you need one at only 18 miles??? I wouldn't buy a pair of socks from this guy. Can't beleive that he would photo the "18 miles" on the odo and not take a good enough look at the picture to see the 895 miles on trip odo. He's been drinking something :beer

    Winter in the North, what do you do??

    I have a wood stove so it does ok till the temp gets down to about 10 degrees and then it only warms the backside when you back up to it. Right now we just finished getting another 6 inches of the white stuff and they will never quit sanding the roads. Usually we can't venture out till...

    Winter in the North, what do you do??

    Q-Jet Carb Inlet Filter Failure

    I was a mechanic for 12 years during the 70's and 80's and I was an expert on Rochester 4 barrels and never saw that happen. You should put in the solid brass type filter an it will never happen again. :beer

    rear end side yokes

    What should the height be? Before the new spring I only had a clearance of 1 inch between the fender and tire. Now I have approximately 3.5 inches which looks more correct. I am sure the fender will not rub the tire any more.:rotfl My brother who has had his own corvette repair shop (since...

    rear end side yokes

    Just a little update. I have installed all new rubber bushings in the sway bar links. I also installed a new steel spring with bushings. It was amazing how much arch had been lost from the old sping The car now sits 2 inches higher than it use to. If we hit a large bump the tires use to rub the...

    After Market Muffler Question

    Thanks for the info. I just went to the flowmaster site and according to their chart the 50 series should be softer in sound than the 40 series. ;shrug:bash I guess I will just stay with what was on the car till I hear one set up the way I want it. I am lost right now.
