That pretty much sums up the CAC. Posts do not happen as rapid as other Corvette sites, but when you need an in depth technical detailed explanation, there is no other site like this one. That is why I am happy to support this group and not any of the others. :w

Sounds like a vibration? My question is: do you feel this vibration? If so, is the vibration in the steering wheel? the butt of your seat? in the pedals? Also, is your Vette a Manual 6 (M6) or Automatic 6 (A6)?

Yea, I agree. A little tacky. But doesn't look like they have had any bites either.

First :w Welcome to the CAC Secondly, since we live so close, you need to pick me up so we can go for a cruise ;LOL Third, Check out the Model Center of the website. Or click here for a direct link to the 2009 production numbers. Don't forget to wave at all Corvette's you see on the...

My family never named vehicles. It wasn't until I met my wife (back in high school) and her sister that I even knew people did that sort of thing. Well, we never named the 76 Stingray we had, but we had a name for the 73 almost immediately. Her name is Lola, because whatever Lola wants, Lola...

Well, can't say I'm too surprised. He has been liquidating his collection for a couple of years now. Last year, he sold most of his neon collectible signs that were inside his barns/storage facilities. I used to go down and look at Harley Earl's '63 and stare at it and study it for long...

Automatic or Standard? And I'm not sure about 1992, but do those keys have a little resistor chip in them for the VATS system?

When you say you can't get it to start, is the engine not even turning over? The Mass Air Flow Sensor tells the engine how much air to bring into the intake, if it does not have that information, your engine can do a wide variety of things. If the engine is cold, it could idle high and then...

So what time are you getting into Columbus? Lunch? Dinner? Even if not for very long, I'd love to see this Corvette that is rolling its way across the states.

Maybe he is just referring to the pre catalytic converter Corvettes. As for the smog pumps, most of those are gone from these cars anyway, unless you look really hard. Ultimately, it is up to you to figure out what you are looking for. A show car? A driver? A weekend cruiser? If you don't...

Congrats on your new to you Corvette. Tell us a little about it. Color, options, and what your favorite part about the Corvette is. Oh, and don't forget to :w

First, welcome to the Corvette Action Center. Take a quick moment to visit the new member section and introduce yourself. Sorry I can't help as I have no experience with the wipers of the 68 - 72 models. However, it sounds like it might just be a simple vacuum leak. When you shut the car off...

Like others have said. Take your time in finding the right Corvette for you. There are lots of them out there. At this time, have you sat/ridden/ or driven any C3 Corvettes? Are there certain options you are looking for? If at all possible, when you are serious about purchasing the one for...

You are correct Andy, that is the cowl induction. It does run off a motor and is supposed to open when you have the throttle at or near WOT. I do not know exactly how it scoops air back into the carb, but that is what it's supposed to do. I also understand that it will let cool air move...

Well, I'm not sure I have an answer for you, but I'd like to help you keep this thread near the top so others might be able to see it and help you out. Let me ask you about how the car sounded when it was stalling out on you. You mentioned when the car was starting to stall you could put the...
