It was 1968, the Volkswagen Type Three arrived on this shore with Air Flow Control Electronic Fuel Injection. At that date the designers weren't using the micro processors we have today. Pretty much it was wired like a computer of 1968. The wire had a number on it. The bundle of wires next to it...

Having worked on German cars for my entire career I have seen plenty of wires with the smoke let out of them. Once the smoke gets out you need to fix 'em. When you see a blackened end on a wire the smoke is about to escape! I have replaced a few harnesses in cars that when the one wire shorted...

You nailed it Kane, He has bulk wire in most GM colors. Blk/Pnk in 20, 18 and 12 gauge! You order by the foot, and you get a price break if you order more than 50 ft. Minim order is 10 feet of color/gauge unit. He is out of Eire PA. I have ordered the wire from him today. This makes my day. I...

Another solution would be to get a full harness. If one wire in your current harness needs to be replaced, how much confidence do you have in the rest? Mac - The harness is in fairly good shape (only 97K miles and 47+ years). I am replacing some wires that are brittle due to heat, the...

Thanks Tom! Spent some time on the Lectric Limited website. Very good FAQ/Technical section. In that section Lectric Limited emphatically states that they do not sell connectors or wire. FAQ G02 "Do you sell individual connectors, terminals, fuse link wire, resistance wire, or harness...

Checked Painless Performance (Thanks for the heads up Mac). They have a lot of wire with trace colors but no Black/Pink. I'll keep looking. Mark.

Igntion positive wire Okay I have searched on the internet for the 18 AWG wire for the KOER 12 V power supply wire color code. A black wire that has a pink stripe longitudinally. I can have some made with a spiral pink stripe (minimum order 250 feet, $30.00 + shipping). There is a Ni-chrome...

I was looking into that but the Holley I'm using is a center hung dual feed float bowl and it stands proud of the top of the float bowl. Also I am up against the top of the coil with the bottom of the air cleaner base. The 5th photo shows the relationship of the air cleaner and the coil. I'll...

Sorry for my lazyness, progress is being made Here is my earlier attempt on the manifold to water pump connection. Note the 3 inch air cleaner that is too tall for me to close the hood. This is the much improved connection that will allow an easy disconnect for removal of the manifold to...

$79,000.00 I guess I will never know how fast the 2015 Z06 is for 79,000 reasons. You can quote these rhetorical numbers all you want, it all depends on what you can afford. Mark.

I just had a conversation with Aaron, we have a tracking number! If it is the correct part I'm going to have to get off my chase-lounge and get to work. Photos and comments to follow! Mark.

This seems to be the way it is, Caveat Emptor! Maybe we need Government Oversight on the internet, NOT! Mark.

Delayed Gratification My challenge now is connecting the 2014 manifold to the 1965 style water pump. I have several connectors I have tried to hook up with hoses, AN (Army/Navy) NPT (National Pipe Thread) and JIC (Joint Industries Council) AN and JIC appear to be the same but the JIC has a...

Really? Well the distributor still hasn't come from that flake in Florida. I know that someone dropped the ball then kicked it out of bounds. When my parts department slipped up this bad they reported that the Elves in the Black forest were busy making it. They took our money fast enough. If...

The Tremic is made by Grupo Kuo who make transmissions all over the world. They make the T56 6 speed and TR6060 6 speed. My Tremic 3550-12 was made in Mexico by Grupo Kuo. Hurst Powertrain, GM Performance and a host of other suppliers can and will get you a 5 or 6 speed manual for your Corvette...

Progress, yes I know it is taking too long. New GM Performance manifold and Holley. Special Heavy Duty parts! Yikes! I broke off the screw in the original fuel tank. Nice job Mark. I was talking to Mark Hamilton of M.A.D. Enterprises the other day and he had mentioned some of the...

Ongoing saga of the Maroon Monster The manifold fit like a dream. P/N 19170093 770 cfm Holley carburetor is on the way. Have the fuel tank straps and associated anti-squeak rubber straps to install the fuel tank. Tank is going in. Clutch works but I am going to have to pull the "Z" bar to...

The uniform that I wore at work for 18 years was cotton polyester blend, they were not "double knit" like the '70's leisure suits. In some cases they melted but usually they just charred black and crumbled. Some of the modern "slinky" fabrics that the ladies wear can melt. Mark.

Availability Just ordered a P/N 10185063 ZZ series manifold that is recommended for the 350/290 engine in the Long Block Specifications document. It is coming out of Michigan in around 7 days. The aftermarket has plenty of carburetor intakes. I just want a GM part. They engineered the thing in...

Compatibility with the GM crate 290/350 Ah yes, project creep. Well I was re-installing the Winters 3844461 intake due to the oil leak we found during the engine install. We noticed that the passenger side front black neoprene seal had "slipped" and was hanging out about 1/2 the width of the...
