140....... Sorry I'm late.... White 1980

I third the motion here. Go with the new coupling. I replaced mine last Summer. The only trouble I encountered was trying to get the steering wheel straight when the car was driving straight. I had to loosen the coupling and fine tune it after a few road tests. Mark the shafts before you remove...

Larry, I had the same problem with my 1980. I posted the same problem back in May. :CAC member "Rpounds" gave me the following info and it worked perfect for me. :D The shift points are regulated by the "TV" cable connected to the carburator at the throttle lever. Some people would call this...

Yea John I agree. I just spent about 2 hours removing the old coupling. It was a real pain.:bang Tomorrow I'm going to the local Vette shop and get a new one. I hope it goes together easier then it came apart.:crazy :w Kenny

Thanks for the reply Eric and Dave. :D I found some information in case anyone else was interested.:bu Flexible coupling -- A part of the steering mechanism between the steering column and the steering gear or rack-and-pinion assembly. Also called a rag joint or steering coupling disc...

Thanks everyone! I could never get my windows perfect until I read this post. I ran out and bought Stoners Invisible Glass. WOW!!! :BOW It made my windshield disappear. I am sold. Thanks again! :w Kenny

Wow! That's great!:v That sounds terrific. ;worship I have the same sidepipes on mine. :gap They are really sharp:bu :w Kenny

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I have a great CD player and good speakers. I don't ever use it. The sound of the sidepipes roaring is the best music I've ever heard. I can't get enough.:Steer Good Luck with your exhaust.:D Go For It! :upthumbs :w Kenny
