Yes, that is the one. I don't know if it was modified or not, but that's what is there, just like the ones on Oceangal's car (in her avatar)

My 81 has a BFG 225-70X15 on an aluminum wheel like on the rest of the car, so they will fit under there. . .

Hey Lori, long time! As for the first part of your numbers, 'C 10 E' is: C=1982 10=October E=5th week. Interestingly enough, my very late model 81 and your very early model 82 are only a few weeks apart, mine is 'B 10 A' As mentioned, the BG numbers vary from the much documented SL ones - in...

Hey Bob, you mean I'm not alone? I don't collect Corvette emblems per se, but I have a few (80, 81, 78) in a drawer in the garage. They're all nose emblems, so they don't mount well. I do have some others mounted, El Camino, Impala, 'V' flags, and others - 442 and Charger. They're mounted on a...

Hey Craig Sr., I had a similar problem. After I paid $40 for a new cable, I found only the end was bad and fixed it. They have a little plastic tip that screws fast to the mount and they break off pretty readily. I took a hose clamp and cut some pieces out of it and wrapped around the ends of...

I have the same problem with an 83 SS, but your Vette doesn't have a column switch, right? If you changed the starter and it still does it, it would have to be the switch. In my case, I'm told it is the contacts at the bottom of the steering column, but haven't really checked it out yet. Does it...

Right again, Mike. All the ricer guys ask me 'is that the original motor? And I'm thinkin would you know if I was lying? I really think it's just one of those things people ask to make conversation. Kind of a round about way of askin 'will you take less?' As for Cheney, it was a Senate photo...

NA69, I'm not that familiar with big blocks, but the basics are the same. Did the engine run when you got home, or did it quit not to start again when you shut it off? It has the sound of a clogged fuel filter. Are you SURE it is oil in the #6 and #8 cylinders and not gas? When timing chains let...

I'm getting a sign made for my garage door to read: FORMAL AREA - BOW TIES REQUIRED. All Chevys here - 2002 Monte Carlo, 81 Corvette, 83 Monte Carlo SS, wife has 2004 Malibu Maxx, Dad's car is a 93 Lumina. Also I have a 1979 Harley Davidson Sportster. For extra credit, I have a tractor I'm...

Mike, I just gotta ask - does the 'GFY' stand for 'Good For You' or were you quoting US Vice President Dick Cheney there?? All things considered on the numbers matching debate, how many 34 year old cars do you suppose have ALL the original parts left on them? Not only that, I doubt many Vette...

Hey Lori, Good to hear from you again! You must be ecstatic that your project is almost done. Funny you should mention a Monte SS, I have an 83 in my stable too - in about the same condition. Maybe some day I'll get around to it. Just wondering, how bad is mileage on a truck if a Monte SS is...

You have a Sept. 31st in Canada? Maybe the time travel burned up your points!! Just kidding. . . From the looks of the pic, you're in a good club if that many people stopped to help you. Take care. Craig

Hey John, I'm pretty sure my 81 only has two hoses going to it, with the other one sealed, you have a third hose going there?? If I dare ask, what do the canisters go for? I've heard folks say they are pricey. Craig

OK, I'm in the right thread now. . .I have a 3 groove crank set, a single inside of two, 7-3/4" diameter, OVERALL, not calipered at the bottom of the groove, with pn 458530CA - and a 2 groove crank pulley, 6-3/4" diameter, no pn that I can find. The 2 groove pulleys seem to have the same...

Yes, I know we are talking about your 68. I don't know where talk of a smog pump started, but it wasn't me. The spare pulleys I have probably came off of a 69 327. Just wondering if they might work for you, if they had a specific size or part number.

I meant that I have some odd pulleys off of other engines, maybe something will fit. The smog pump pulley runs off of the water pump, doesn't it?

Dawn, any luck yet? My 81 does the same thing, one particular spot in the road about pulls the wheel out of my hand, but I drive over it every day in my Monte going to work and nothing. The shock theory is sounding possible to me, as I have replaced all 4 ball joints and had the car aligned, and...

Probably. From what I hear here, the first '383s' were made using a 350 block (bored to 4.030") and a 400 crankshaft (3.75" stroke), which had to be milled to fit as the 400 had larger journals yet. Now I believe they make a 383 crank to fit in the standard block, no milling needed. There's some...

Apparently it is. That casting number is listed as a 2 bolt main, 327 and 350, so a 3.48" stroke crank was made for that specific block. In 67 and older engines, the crank journals were smaller. Sometime in 1968, they made them bigger. Which is also to say that you could put a 67 350 crank in...
