Almost 4 years ago I picked up a 69 coupe. L48 300HP 350 turbo 400 3.08 gears. Burgundy repaint but original color, black vynal interior. A bone stock car, with smoking engine, brake pedal almost on the floor, leaking tranny, and when you smacked the seats you'd get a cloud of foam dust rising...

The pully just got smaller yesterday. Went from 3.11 to a 2.87 in an attempt to increase pressure at lower RPM. T

Backstepping Thanks guys, I like this forum. From my reads seems friendlier. I suspect that you all guessed that I like to take this car to the track. Living about 45 minutes from Road America seem like a good choice. What a beautiful track. 4.1 mi. and 14 corners. Corner 5 is my favorite...

I'm back Been out of it for awile, some medical issues. This is the hood we made [lotsa help from friends] Took 18 months from start to finish. It's shown in top pict so I've been running it awile [kinda proud of it]. When it was first installed there was also a schroud on back of radiator and...

engine is done Finished up the main engine assembly Sunday. Now to finish up the engine compartment so the engine can go in. T

2nd tank Weather has been cooperating, needed to refuel and checked the mileage. Only 17 mpg, but I think that was due to my poor will power [couldn't keep foot out of go pedal]. Only problem so far was that I missed a vacuum hose and had to drive the car with one headlight up. Everyone that...

need to go fast Wednesday the rear wing arrived, can you believe it the 2 wing planes are not of equal length. So as we racers go, we make it fit and it off to the machine shop for mods. Mounted the water pump, KRS power steer pump and the blower bracket. Friday the Brown guy delivered my...

The covers he has are Moroso. T

carring on Yesterday removed the gas tank to upgrade the return port to #6. We have already upgraded the tank sender to #8 line and also the supply line to the carb. What a PITA. Welded on some brackets just below the front upper A-arm bolt for mounting the spreader bar. Found them at Jefferson...

Great car 007 I really like the C6s. In fact I like all Vettes. I didn't realize this forum has been around this long. This is my first computer and it's only 3 years old so this internet world is all new to me. T

I'll check with the owner and get back to you. T

When I first purchased my 6t8 roadster over 20 years ago it was in bad condition, not good enough to drive and I could barely afford my dream car. Originally a 350 hp 327 4-speed car. Love the small blocks.. I had just purchased my home the year before [ a log house on a few acres]. It was the...

clearance A friend has a 68 BBC. It is equipped with power brakes Brodix race right heads, stud girdle and he had to notch out and have rewelded to fit around the brake booster. No clearance issue at the wiper actuator[68 have the large booster]. My recommendation would be to get different...

computor pultzzz I'm such a putz when it comes to computers, after the engine pict it wouldn't upload any more picts.Here is a pict from last summer.This one from when I first purchased it.Yesterday. Must be getting better at that pict thing. T

today First drive was Wednesday afternoon, and you know that old expression ' No replacement for displacement', well they weren't lying. It lites up the tires, busts them loose when the 200r4 shifts into second and there is 3.08 out back. Upgraded the front sway bar to 7/8 from 5/8 and...
