WTB 1956-1961 Corvette. Powerglide preferred. NY area
Why powerglide you ask? She doesn't drive stick and I want it to be hers. It's intended as a 50th birthday present to my wife who has been putting up with my obsession for the 25 years that we've been married. She likes the C1 models with...
I went with the opposite when my '67's calipers needed new seals. I got tired of paying $17/qt for the silicone fluid. I'm going back to regular brake fluid. I am putting new seals in all calipers and have blown out the lines with alcahol and flushed the master with same. I was under the...
If you put R12 in, make sure you don't have any leaks. I had a evac & recharge done last year in my '69 with "Freeze 12" (I think "real" R12 is unavailable) and while it held for a while, it eventially leaked out - and the tab was $175.
I'd like to convert to R134. Can anyone point me in the...
The pricing is better than the Viper & it's more car. The only downside as I see it, is that after my license is taken away I wouldn't legally be able to drive it. I see BIG, BIG speeding tickets driving on the road. Can you say, Track time?
Whose idea was this? The 2 big fittings going into the junction block right under the master don't want to budge. Hopefully after soaking in PB Blaster for a day, they will move today. I'd thought the smaller ones under the junction block would be the troublesome ones. Oh well, after working...
I'm with you - I hate electrical problems. I do believe that battery disconnect switches should be on the negative post and not the positive. And like what has been said, the disconnect switch should stop all power.
That is my intention when I get my MOTIVE bleeder in tomorrow. I was neglective in my bleeding of these lines over the past 16 yrs and the "gunk" around the seals was pretty unbelievable.
Hi John,
The calipers will be resealed and will go in dry. If, prior to me connecting the lines, if I run 2 qts of Dot 3 or 4 thru, will that be "good enough" of a flush? I'm tired of paying $15-20/qt for the silicone.
What do you think? I've been running silicone for over 20 yrs. Now I thought it was great because it doesn't absorb water but the water just puddles up. I have to do caliper seals anyway and if I flush every couple of years, I'll be fine - right? And save a couple of bucks too.
Gunna need new lifters then and if the heads come off you might as well get a value job done and replace the valve train with roller rockers. And how many times has a valve job been done without a ring job and then it blows smoke. Might as well put in new main and rod bearings and have the...
I've used it with success more than a couple of times. You have nothing to loose so try it. If it initially works and you have another leak, I would just go and buy a new radiator. If it's original like you think, it's 30 yrs old. One leak will lead into another and another. The radiator in...
The file is over 500KB and won't attach. Whoever wants it sent direct to them, give me your e-mail. And thanks to Terry Rudy who originally sent it to me.
On my "2 Do" list", which keeps getting longer, is to fix both of my odometers. I have what you need on a disk which is home. I'll bring it in for your tomorrow.
