Thanks 1979toy. Boy do I feel dumb or should I say uninformed. That was the only possibliy I thought it maybe. I did read the original owners manual from front to back and didn't remember reading about it. I would think they would cover all available options on the car. I just have never heard...

After expressing my feelings to the Service Advisor, they agreed to give the speedometer cable situation another try. Their solution is they must work with the GM part and since it is too long the "authorized' Chevrolet fix is to relocated the Transducer a couple of inches further to tighten...

Afer posting this message I had to go out into the garage again to check. There are two, the one behind the bumper next to the spare tire carrier is bolted to the crossmember of the rear bumper. The license plate light still lights up (I took the bub from the just found assy). .

I was under my '79 today and saw something that had me totally stumped! At the rear of the car underneathe between the spare tire housing and the rear bumper there was another license plate light assembly that was ON? I had just replaced the license plate light bulb last week so I looked at the...

Thanks guys for all the info. I didn't feel that this was the norm as my other cars and trucks that I drive on a daily basis I would not accept this situation. I did run a email off to the Service Advisor telling him my unhappiness with the speedometer and my willingness to assist in anyway I...

I just picked up my 1979 Corvette after leaving it with the local Chevrolet dealership here in town. I was having the usual speedometer cable noise and slap where the needle jumps back and forth and is noisy. The dealership replace the speedo cables, but said the ones that came from GM were...

On my '79 center console below the automatic shifter there is a small tray area that looks like a coin tray, but I know it isn't. I believe this to be a area of a factory decal that indicated the engine horsepower and maybe compression ratio. I have looked in the Portal and other vendors...

Rusty, many years ago when I was fixing up an old 67 coupe for a daily driver I did use a product to dye the carpet. I didn't change the color which was black to black, but the end result was acceptable after brushing out the stiffness from the carpet. The savings was enormous by paying for two...

Thanks guys. That should be a start on the info you provided. I also remember from the past Corvette Swap Meets is also another good source for parts and manuals. I don't really care if the manuals are new or old just want them in a condition that I could use. PS: Thanks to everyone for the...

I just purchased another Corvette after being away from the cars for twenty years! After driving my new 1979 Corvette (new to me anyways) home from the sellers house, I remember how I love driving those rockets. My question: I'll will need to get some service manuals and assembly shop manuals...

My truck sits in a heated garage under a truck cover most the time, but I was told this by another member on the board of my National Truck Club. I haven't seen this breakdown happen since my truck isn't out in the elements much. I used the Zaino products for the shine and not the protection...

I too have used the Zaino wax procedure on my black truck and yes it is fantastic the shine on such a deep color. I would imagine your Torch Red is awesome too. I have heard that the Zaino waxes did not work very well if the vehicle is outside in the sunlight very often and that the wax breaks...
