Put a fusible link on that wire too while you're at it. Will prevent a re-occurrence of the short circuit. As you found out, that circuit is unprotected. Could have started a fire. Glad it only burned the wire. Are you sure the other wires in the bundle didn't get toasted?

And the horn button pushes the plunger and contacts the rim that complete the circuit to ground. Check to see that the rim on that bearing you displayed is clean; that the 2 plunger ends are clean; that the plunger plunges; and, that the buttom makes contact with the plunger. Do you get a...

1. Luk sells a complete kit for your car. Luk has a big OEM reputation. Centerforce also makes a kit for your car. Centerforce will be expensive. Are you going to beat on the clutch? You can probably buy a brand name clutch for your car at your FLAPS. 2. You can buy a pilot bearing puller...

You can't get a high performance tire with a whitewall. You can't get anything wider than a 205/75-15 or 215/70-15 on the stock 5" rims. You need the stock rims to hold the stock wheelcovers on. You also can't get a high performance tire in this size.So, if you want the stock appearance of...

1. The kit where you pop rivet a metal square to make a new hole. If you can, rivet the metal plate to the inside the fiberglass panel/behind the hole. Won't stick out so much. 2. You can try dry wall inserts too. Those plastic things designed to hold screws in dry wall. Sometimes they...

The Carter book is called, "Carter Carburetors: Performance, Street, and Off-Road Applications." This book is ubiquitous. I've seen it in many bookstores, including the Barnes and Noble on East 86th Street in Manhattan. It's also available on the NCRS web site and at Amazon.com. Under $20...

Charlie, The AFBs that came on 62-65 Corvettes had different numbers depending on the year and whether a standard or automatic. Your 64 automatic would have come with a particular number. I forget what that number is now. May have been 3721. You can find the special numbered AFBs for sale...

If you want "numbers correct", go over to the NCRS board and ask the experts. I believe Kuntz or Kunz is the guy they recommend.

Up through the 1961 model year, all engines had 2" exhaust manifolds. The 1962 300, 340, and 360 HP versions had 2 1/2" manifolds. So the front pipes for these 2 different manifolds are different. But not so different downstream. After the first 6" they are both the same diameter...

Absolutely! Any circuit should be fused. Where'd you pick up power for that choke wire? The ignition circuit off the ballast resistor like the instructions tell you? That circuit is unfused. When the choke wire falls off or gets busted, it'll fall onto the engine - a ground. Not good. I'm...

Caster and camber same as ST-12. Little less toe in. About 1/2 of what the ST-12 specifies. With radials, you want some, but very little toe in. Put 32 lbs of pressure in the tires. Put a 200 lb weight in the driver's seat. Bring a 1/4" allen wrench and a copies of the relevant pages of...

You're right. Don't bother to switch over to silicone (DOT 5). Just flush your DOT 3/4 every few years, and you'll be fine. If you want to use silicone, you should really start with everything new. Something you might think about if you were rebuilding your brake system. But for an...

Dull. Evenly dull. And clean. Google "jerry mcneish" and "z28" and "camaro" and "maryland". You want to find the website of a business in Maryland owned by Jerry McNeish (sp?) that specializes in Z28s in particular and Camaros in general. He repairs aluminum and "reskins" finned aluminum...

You can't mistake that nut. It's got 8 sides inside.

Don't tighten the mounting studs so as to "cinch it down." That'll crack the windshield. Don't ask how I know this. Windshields can take a pretty good hit. But they cannot withstand twisting or pinpoint stresses. Check the ST-12 for the torque values for these studs. But it's not much...

You're correct. The black wire with the white stripe is the ground. Goes to one of the 6 screws holding the sender in on the tank. The brown wire goes to the terminal in the middle. Now that you're in there, it's very helpful to add another ground wire. C1s need all the help with grounding...

I don't think so. Not sure. But I believe there's only 1 key - the hex shaped one. Fits everything. The 2 keys, 1 for the door and 1 for the ignition, so you wouldn't lock your keys in the car, came much later.
