    Help! '79 mystery brake problem

    Since I did this last year and learned a few things, I have to ask a couple of questions which hopefully might help. Do you have the correct master cylinder for your year vette? If so, did you bench bleed the master cylinder? Did you bleed them in the correct order also using a rubber mallot...

    Should I Sell My 1977 Vette

    If your not serious then why did you ask? Listen, I think we all have had those urges and thoughts. For me what helps, I always go out to the garage, lift up the cover, sit in her for a few and think "Hell No". I will never ever sell my Vette no matter how much she is worth or how much money and...

    Some Ebay listings are just too "unique" not to share...

    This is my favorite part: It ALWAYS receives "fit for a king" treatment and gets the best parking spot - even over Ferrari's, Porsches, you name it. The car always draws lookers. It draws lookers because it's a POS...

    I purchased just the Stainless Steel Fuel Line from Corvette Central or Ecklers.

    Question: Brake Rotors

    Well, your right about shipping. Makes no sense now to ship them back. I'm better off just keeping what I have. I have a dial indicator now so I will eventually check and learn about runout when it gets warmer. I'll have enough to keep me busy in the spring with my Q-Jet and Struts. Thanks.

    Question: Brake Rotors

    Mike, explain please. Are you saying to just go with Stock instead of adjustable?

    Question: Brake Rotors

    I am coming to the conclusion that I should leave well enough alone. All four calipers have stainless sleeves with O-Ring seals and a proper bleeding has been done. I have a correct new Master Cylinder. I'm going to send the rotors back, keep the Hawk HPS Brake Pads and Adjustable Strut Rods...

    Question: Brake Rotors

    For Christmas/Birthday, I received new Brake Rotors and Hawk Brake Pads from VBP. This past summer, the calipers were replaced as well as the rubber brake lines, the Master Cylinder, and it was properly bled several times. The rear brake rotors no longer have the rivets but my fronts do. I...

    Question: Is half shaft orientation REALLY important?

    From what I understand, Spicer u-joints without zerk fittings are preferred.

    Question: Is half shaft orientation REALLY important?

    Not sure if balancing them is necessary but probably a good idea...

    whats to use or is it overkill

    I'd go with BB full roller rockers and studs. Reduced friction and easier adjustments.

    Question: Q-Jet Hesitation

    Thanks, Mikey. It doesn't seem to difficult and it doesn't appear as though you have to take the Q-Jet apart. I have little experience with a Q-Jet and am questioning whether my Q-Jet is properly configured for my application (Top-End Rebuild).

    Question: Q-Jet Hesitation

    Thanks, will instructions for any of the suggested adjustments be in the shop manual or AIM? The Vette is in for the winter so I'm not in so much a rush as I would be any other time. But I do need to prepare...;)

    Question: Q-Jet Hesitation

    Timing is good and I have an electric choke. I will have to look up adjusting an electric choke.

    Question: Q-Jet Hesitation

    After my 79 Vette is at operating temperature and pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor quickly, she hesitates/stalls briefly. This is a new sudden issue. No work has been done and there are no leaks of any kind that I have found. Looking for some ideas......

    WANTED: Zora Arkus-Duntov Autograph
