~Here's a wonderful find for some lucky person endeavoring to restore a 1980 Chevy Corvette..! About 20-yrs. ago i bought a pristine '80 Corvette with only 15,000-miles on it, -then i removed the perfect stock 'virgin' 350cid L-48 V8-engine, and installed a full-race sbV8. Accordingly...

~Regarding postings #50 Vrs. #51 on V8 configurations.... -While post #50 is quite interesting nostalgia, -the author is obviously very much in the DOHC-camp of obsession with complexity, -for Chevrolet-engineering has really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with their compact OHV-wonder of the...

~Industrial'Designer makes suggestion toward further perfecting the 2015's styling features...!! -While the styling-theme has been given a still more aggressively snarley appearance, -there is one rather serious to me glaring flaw in the frontal-motif, --see if you agree!? Looking at the...

Hello Tim: -No, there are no other wires to be found associated with my '80-Vette/SB-V8 HEI-distributor; --however, the Tach does now seem to be operating properly thanks to your able advise. :w

~Thanks Tim, -for the legible 1980Vette/Wiring-diagram, -your linked PDF-pages printed-out nicely, and was a big help indeed! Thus now have the Tach. operating (-albeit without the Tach.-filter presently; --i presume the Tach.-filter only serves to blank-out RF/Ign.-static to the radio)...

Appreciate the three respondents to my stated Tachometer-wiring question; --but still not solved..! ~Again, -my HEI-distrib. is missing its Tach.-wire (-was advised it was connected to a condenser-like Filter-device), --yet upon close inspection, there is no unused single Wire feeding from the...

a.) Wondering if i can tap the oem 12v. wire which clips-in to the HEI-distributor (white plastic elect.-fitting which pulls-down to remove); --would like to simply run a wire to the Rochester-carb's. Elect.-choke's male-terminal, --or would that possibly interfere with distributor performance...

1980 Rochester-carb. Electric-choke Not Working..? ---Here's a possible solution...! The electric-choke was not heating-up, --so removed the three-screws w/retention-clips holding the black Bakelite-disk where the 12v. wire connects, and found the Carb.-rebuilding Specialist had unwittingly...

Please, -tell me it isn't true... :L -i mean this herein supposed C-6.5 facelift has to be a cruel joke, --right? -for this manifestation festooned with gaping scoops and outlets, -looks very unsophisticated, like something an ethnic/chop-shop would throw together to dazzle the teenagers...

Hi friend: -a conventional "silent" mechanical/fuel-pump is definitely the safest for normal motoring (stops pumping when motor quits, such as during an accident); ---yet it also makes good sense to include an electric/fuel-pump preferably situated near the gas-tank as they typically push...

-although i sold my standard '80/C3-coupe (have gotten rid of any car that has to be Gov'mt.-smogged in Calif.; --except my sweet 2,350-lb '77L.Esprit) but kept the rebodied Berlina-'71/C3 MB540k-replicar, i always liked the far more distinctive if dynamically sensuously lines of...

Hello JohnZ & Gemini: -am also a proud owner of an '80/Berlina'Vette- MB/540k-replicar manufactured in Ltd.-production via Phillips-MotorcarCo. of Boco'Raton, Florida 33432, on a brand-new C3 chassis. He'd buy entire new Corvettes ('80/'81/'82/and some reg. as '83's) from...

This is a good lesson in resisting Big-corp. propagandazing... -America needs to learn to be much more discerning as to their believing much of the aggressive brainwashing promugated by the big-corporations, --this phony teaching of the gullible-public about the need for costly...

Affirmative! -John --Yes, including the part about the totally propagandized News-media & PublicLibrary-sys. --but you are somewhat free to opine here my friend! The facts are on my side, your criminal-Gov'mt. has already usurpt your precious usConstitution yet ignorantly, -few care; so...
