    rocker panels

    You can always re-tap the holes with a tap and die kit. I ended up having to do that with a few of mine.

    Warranties, Returns and Paperwork...

    Could someone please explain to me why I need to have an invoice when I return a purchase part for warranty service? Isn't all that information available from the store's database? Isn't this the 21st Century? B

    rear window kit

    I swapped mine for a removable in my 76. You can either buy all the parts you need at one of the shops or get them off ebay. I can't say I recommend it though. Mine tends to leak and I rarely pull it out. B

    Virginia Emissions - 78 no cat converter

    "2. On the highways of the Commonwealth.....and for occasional pleasure driving not exceeding 250 miles from the residence of the owner. " That to me is weekend driving. I think the big thing you have to worry about is if you have a few "sodas" and then hop in the car and drive the cops...

    Help Brake Bleeding...

    There is also a specific order you should bleed them too. You can check the Haynes or Chilton manuals and it tells you. Also remember the rear brakes may have two bleed screws on each caliper (aka one for each half of the caliper)

    How much have you spent on restoring your Vette, to date ??

    1976 L-48 I purchased for 6500. I have done almost all the work myself and while I have all the receipts I have tried not to count. Off the top of my head at least another 5 grand for exhaust, suspension and interior. B

    Ya I have enough problems troubleshooting without having to assume brand new products are faulty.

    ahhh headlight fun

    I think you are right. The vacuum hadn't had time to really get going. After getting in the car last night and driving around for about 30 minutes the lights went up and down as expected. Just a note when I first was troubleshooting the system I replaced the hoses and the actuators and...

    ahhh headlight fun

    So finally got the vacuum system working so the lights pop up nicely. Only problem is that when I turn them off the drivers side light goes down and then about about a 2 second pause the passenger side goes down. Any ideas? B

    Bolt Size needed

    Believe it or not it was just missing. I don't know how you would lose one of those, but it looks like the original water pump and I know it is the original block, so go figure. B

    Bolt Size needed

    Thanks I appreciate it. Now I am just wondering if the guy who owned it before me forgot to put it in, or snapped it off in the block...ugh.

    Bolt Size needed

    Does anyone know the length, thread and width for the bolt that connects the Alternator adjustment bracket to the engine on a L-48 350 1976? Looked down today and discovered it was missing. It is one of the bolts that appears to connect through the water pump and into the block. B

    Leaky Control Valve

    Hey I just bought a rebuilt control valve from VBP and after bleeding the air and running it for a bit it is wet around the lower bolt that connects the two parts of the housings together. Anyone else had this issue? Can I give it a little time to go away or should I pull it and send it back...

    Side Pipe Questions

    They actually look more like the brushed aluminum of the rocker panel than they do like chrome. As I remember they were a little brighter at first and then dulled pretty quickly after heat passed through them. B

    Side Pipe Questions

    I actually had sterling done to the side pipes and the headers, so I am not sure how the sterling would look next to chrome. I don't have the part numbers as I installed them like 2 years ago, but call jet-hot and they can help you. They were good people to deal with. You have to take the...

    Side Pipe Questions

    Jet-hot has what they call a "sterling" coat that looks somewhere between silver paint and chrome. This what I got and it definitely lowered the temp and looks ok. Like a semi-chrome. The hooker side pipes fit fine on my 76, but there are a few things you should know. 1) you probably can't...

    Side Vent Grills

    Where is the Cruise-In and what time? I can probably make it out there.

    Side Vent Grills

    Gracias. Guess they really are that rare. Someone needs to repro them. B

    Side Vent Grills

    Any idea where to get them? Or if they will fit a 76? I have looked online at ecklers, madvet, zip, tld and none of them list them. B
