Oops forgot to mention that. [edit: whatever they fetch on ebay - see below]

I had not heard of that problem. In fact a 91 Camaro I once owned had cruise and the 700R4 transmission. My guess is that the cruise and the lockup converter are both disengaged by a switch under the dash that is activated by the brake pedal. On my setup I bought a Corvette brake switch...

How much was milled off the heads? IIRC if more than .030" is taken off you may need to have some work done to your intake. By milling the head you have moved the bolts holes closer to the deck, thereby changing the geometry between the head, the intake and the block. I am not sure if they...

Sorry to hear about your problems. I hate being taken like that! I had a lot of problems trying to find someone to rebuild one of those 700 transmissions. Finally I gave up and bought a B&M (this was for my Trans Am). I hope you had not posted about this before because I missed it. I...

Special thanks to AOL (I think?!) for this limitation. The files are jpeg so I can't believe that is the problem. I am running factory steel rally wheels with new P225/70R15 Firehawk Indy 500's.

For those of you with problems - what browser/operting system do you have? Try this link for the first picture: http://members.aol.com/mostmint/CorvetteRims1.jpg/

Thanks - this is also a possibility I will check into.

This is an interesting topic. I did not make the meet last weekend but I have been to various Carlisle swap meets just about every year for the last 20 years or so, not to mention dozens of local swap meets. One thing I have observed is that there is always someone who wants big bucks for...

Is anyone else having this problem?

These came on my Corvette. They are undamaged straight aluminum rims with tires, center caps and lug nuts/washers. I do not know the rim manufacturer. They look good on the car, though the rear wheels stick out of the wheel wells and I am not a big fan of that look. I replaced them with...

The u-joints on the main drive shaft have been replaced. They have grease fittings. I can't tell you why I did not grease them when I was looking at them! I will try this and see if it helps, and look closely for rust under the caps on the half shafts. If not then I'll have to figure out...

My first thought was "this is a u-joint". At speeds below 5 mph there is a ryhtmic clunk. I hear about 2 or three clunks when the car starts moving. It reminded me of sounds of a bad cv joint on GM front wheel drive cars. The problem is I could not locate a loose u-joint. I jacked up the...

Thanks for the replies. I was having a hard time putting tape on my Corvette parts for some unknown reason. Last night I decided to make some adjustments myself. So I used some pliers to bend out the metal around the lip where the cap is secured to the wheel. This seemed to do the trick...

I know Bobby LaBonte won the championship in 2000 driving that Interstate Batteries car - a very green car. I am not sure about this one - but D.W. himself had that green lettered car (was it Mountain Dew?) and he may have won the championship in that. If not the championship cetainly some races.

My 76 Trans Am that runs 12.60's with 1.73 60' times only makes about 105 MPH. The TA is very close in weight to my 75 Vette and I am guessing it can't be more than 300 HP or so. I would think with proper traction and gearing you should easily run low 12's at 375 HP. According to specs, my...

I am going to go out on a limb and say $14k seems a little expensive for the 82. A local car dealer had a real nice white 79 with side pipes for $8995. It is gone now but it sat for a while. I think the mileage was in the low 70k range. My general advice is to shop the market a little to...

I am sure the 27.5 will fit as that is very close to the height of my 225/70R15. The 15 part depends on your rim. The 11 is the only part I am not sure about. How wide is your 255/60? Assuming these are not drag radials, the other obvious issue would be that these tires are soft side wall...

Please don't let a few broken bleeders crush the rebellion! Oceangal: I'm not sure but I would say "dag nabbit".

These are the steel wheels.

OK I now have four rally rims and four center caps for my 75 Corvette. They all appear to be OEM pieces, but the center caps are quite loose. I have tried them on more than one rim so I am fairly sure the rim is not the problem. Is there any trick to fixing them or do I need to get caps...
