    Help! RFI: I'm stupid - where's the headlight breaker/fuse on a '75?

    IT turns out I really *DID* blow all four headlights at once I posted RFI's nearly simultaneously at two 'vette sites, and CAC responded with the most detail, so I'll put the original here first. The wiring and switch are intact...after pulling and testing all four headlights, I really *did*...

    Help! RFI: I'm stupid - where's the headlight breaker/fuse on a '75?

    After a series of alternator malfunctions on my highly modified - I only have the "no headlight option" still eneabled. I pulled the breaker on the panel and got a new one, only to find out "Acc" means "Power Windows". When my dysfunctional alternator hit 19V the other day it popped the...

    Question: Electric Fuel Pump/Bypass Regulator Options

    Wow. It's been awhile since I was here much - but I started getting my beastie going in November to December, in what's been a $7-8K three season most-of-car repair or upgrade, instead of a $1750 month long install-the-new-motor project.

    parting out a 75 vette

    How about the window mech/motor, passenger side? I'd consider the whole door, possibly, but think my mech is a little bent up and the motor is definitely cooked (again!)

    Advise Req: 18x9.5 or 18x8 Wheels on '75

    Hey all I know this has been covered a billion times (not even sure if it shouldn't be on C3 Reg. Forum): I finally re-engine my puppy this weekend and have the funds now to finish this project to a good medium stage - so, with the new OD and motor, I need better tires and the wheels to...

    See if you guess what I find wrong tomorrow

    Sorry for the superdelayed reply.... Computer (and financial) problems went nuclear for most of the month....well, at least the computer is patched up now! 1)Yeah, the new fuel pump rod is bronze, but the old one was a lightened Moroso number that should never have harmed a cast iron (or...

    Signal Flasher

    Not sure, except I found one sorta dangling....over under the passenger side near the heater works....have no idea if this was as it was supposed to be or not. There usually are two flashers. Another place to look is deep up under the passenger or center (do you have 2 or 3?) rear...
