Thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot this weekend when I get back in the garage. By the way, the yellow funnel? Vent? Filling diff? Thanks again. Tom

I have had the parking brake clip on the trailing arm moved to the top of the a-arm for tire clearance, so how do I route the cable now? Outside of arm or inside? I have heard that routing on the inside makes the cable too long!

What part of SC do you live in? I'm in Boiling Springs, just north of Spartanburg. I'm just starting to rebuild my frame as part of my rebuild. Let me know if you want to catch a glimpse of what is involved, and I'll meet up with you and let you take a look. From what I can see in your pics, I...

Do you have a parts list for your setup? or just find xxxx year bigblock truck or car? Looks sharp!

I know what you mean about a pain! I had mine drain down in a couple of minutes after a 20 minute drive. I figure the battery was old and weak so I replaced it. I have since placed a cut off on it also, but the problem is still there. I did a run of pulling the fuses, but never got through...

Thanks for the quick reply! I can't wait til I get to that point (O' in a year &1/2 to 3). Enjoy the Turkey!!!!

Excellent thread and sharp looking car! I'm working toward a big block in my 73' and I noticed that you don't seem to have an issue with the lower pulley/harmonic balancer clearing the cross member. Everybody has said you need to find one of the original BB balancer/pulleys (which cost 2 arms...

This is new to me, What is "computer idle mode"! I have a drain I've been chasing on my 82' for a while, I have already found a faulty "courtesy light" module that left lights on all the tiime, but that's fixed and the problem remains!

Has anyone here had a problem with the driver side AC being warmer than the passenger side air. The air on the passenger side on my 97 is easily 5-10 degrees colder and comes out with a lot more force than the driver side. Passenger side air also comes out with more force. Any ideas?

Do I have to take the wheel off? disassemble the column? or is it and easily accessible connector that I am looking for?

What type of problem are you having with the motor? Mine just started acting up over the weekend and will not go to the home position - just keeps running without even turning it on. If you still have the info on a swap out, I sure could use a copy for this weekend. Thanks!

You might want to add a couple pieces of 2x4 to your road hazard kit. That way you can drive up on them to get the car up high enough to get the average car jack under it! Are there any jacks that will work without this mod?

Does anyone know the torque spec for remounting the calipers and the main brackets on a 97 C5. Thanks

The pics made it fine, thanks for taking the time to put them on here. I believe I'll have to give it a try mayself after seeing them.

Has anybody here ever tried the white vinyl gauge overlays like these for sale on ebay? eBay Motors: 1978-1982 Chevrolet Corvette white face gauges 78-82 (item 360140740720 end time Mar-30-09 11:21:09 PDT)
