Ok all the front end bushings are rotten and need to be replaced so I am thinking of going poly with them. As long as I am in there I am putting new shocks and coils. My questions are these: Are the 550lbs coils too stiff for a fun drive around vehicle? I probably won't race, but would still...

Cool! Thanks for the info and I love the pipes! B

Yo Groovy Is that your ride or someone elses? I like the side pipes, but they don't look like stock or hooker's which I thought were basically the only options for side pipes and headers. By the way I like both the Sparco and Corbeau Seats. how do they compare in price? B

Ya maybe we can get you a finders fee or something! Mark was great. Totally good guy and does great work. I got the half shafts back and they look brand new. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. B

Thanks Ya it is a hand held tach/dwell for diagnostics and since i am doing the work myself it makes it easier to get a reading right there. I rebuilt the carb and now I am just tuning it along with getting the timing correct. B

Can anyone recommend a custom exhaust shop in the Northern Virginia area? Thanks! B

My dad has a hand held tach that he lost the directions for. Does anyone know how these hook up to get a reading? It only has two wires coming out one black, one red. I figure the black is the ground and the red attaches somewhere to the distributor, but where? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the info. Talked to him yesterday and he sounds like a good guy. He is charging less than what everyone else was charging and he will sand blast and por-15 the half-shafts too! The 25 a joint I was getting was labor only, I already bought the joints at Advance Auto. B

Must be Nice! Every place I have called is telling me 50 at least per halfshaft, so 25 a joint as opposed to your 7 bucks. I guess I will manually bang them out. B

Questions! I like the C4 seats. Were they difficult to mount? Also do you have the name of the maker for your gauges and part numbers? B

Part No. for the Brute Force This is off the Auto Zone Web Site in case you are interested. BRUTE_FORCE U-JOINT for a 1976 CHEVROLET CORVETTE axle $13.99 2-0053BF BRUTE_FORCE U-JOINT for a 1976 CHEVROLET CORVETTE drive shaft $13.99 2-4800BF

Wouldn't happen to have a part number would you?

Two Questions... First I read posts that state the non-Zerk Joints are better/stronger, does anyone know of a supplier? I have looked at the Majors; Ecklers, Doc Rebuild, Etc. and they seem to only supply the one with the Zerks. Secondly, talking about pressing them in and out. Has anyone...

Thanks for the idea. I did infact run new wires to the filter soldered them and then wrapped the whole bundle in electrical tape. Works fine for now. B

So I can just run the tach wire direct to the dist with out the filter? I was afraid of burning out the tach circuit board. B

Ok what I was calling a capacitor is actually the tach filter. I have since read up on it and evidently it takes electronic noise out of the line between the dist and the tach. The problem is mine is old and the wire running to it is rotted and cracked. I have called zip's and eckler's and...

Thanks for your help. I will probably repost another message with the topic Tach Filter now that I know what it is properly called. B

It is located outside the dist. B

Hey thanks a lot for the info. You wouldn't happen to know where I could pick one up do you? I have looked at a couple of places and they claim they are discontinued. B

Oh great so I was calling it the wrong thing. That would explain a great deal. B
