One more question about ZDDP. Hi HH, I have used Valvoline Conventional Oil 10W30, are you saying VR-1 10W30 should be what I use from here on? I only recently heard about the lack of ZDDP, thanks, PG.

Go for it! Hi Bubs and welcome to the forum. A 73 Vette for "Zero" dollars and your brother is a gearhead! Go for it! Scroll up to the top and click "Tech Center" there's a checklist of what to look for. Make your father proud of you and put it back on the road, PG.

It will be cooler than ever! Hi LanceB, yes, your fan and A/C will work fine, maybe better than ever. Replacing the heater core takes a lot of steps, but with the help you'll get on this forum it will be a piece of cake, PG. :beer

We all got to start somewhere! Just sit in the seat, grab the horn button, and pull it towards you, it will pop right off. PG:cool

Flash Back! Bought my 74 T-Top back in Nov 2000, the PO had replaced the heater hoses but left off the control valve, talk about excessive heat! What did I know? ;shrug PG.

I'm having a hard time believing that bleeding the other two bleeders on the rears will make that much difference. Yes it will make a difference, you have to bleed both the inner and outers. PG.

Hi and welcome to the CAC, enjoy your new Corvette! PG.

Restricted exhaust flow! I'm pretty sure that where the exhaust pipes connect to the cast iron manifold it's only 2 inches there too. I've heard that chambered exhaust is more restrictive than regular mufflers, is that true? PG.

Your right! The chambered exhaust system is sold as 2 1/2" but the tips are 2". PG.

Chambered Exhaust! I like the sound of the chambered undercar exhaust, I went to a local shop and got the SS tips installed for $30.00 each. Sounds good and looks good! PG.

More things to check. In your first post you said you heard a whining, you did top it up with power steering fluid right? Not Transmission fluid. wishuwerehere82 gave you a good way to bleed the system, have you tried that or any that Jim Shea suggested? Since everything worked OK before the...

Hi again, here's a link with lots of information http://jimshea.corvettefaq.com/?page_id=4 PG.

Steering Wheel Play Hi CAPNZ, since the excessive play just started you might want to bleed the system again and see if that helps. The power sreering control valve will have a little play in it. With the car on jack stands have a helper turn the steering wheel. The ball stud will move about...

Window regulator spring tension. Look at the gear side, there should be a hole in it. Than look at the other side of the regulator, you'll find another 1/4 inch hole, line those two holes up and insert a bolt, put the motor on, and remove the bolt and you'll have the proper pre-load. PG.
