My son took these photos of my '66 tonight as the sun was setting in California.

Very nice! :thumb

Thanks a bunch JohnZ. I'm guessing this isn't going to be a 15 minute fix. :boogie

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the headlamp doors on my '66? I have a top gap on the drivers side slightly wider than the passenger side. Is the adjustment hard to do? Thanks in advance.

What a great restoration!! I think you may need some wider rear rubber to keep your 700 horses on the ground. :thumb

I had a similiar thing happen to me after I had my steering lock repaired per the service bulletin. Are you getting any DIC readings after putting your key in the ignition that reads "Pull key, wait 10 secs"? I was told that it could be a low charged battery that causes this particular...

I'm a Wing man. (Check member name....:rotfl) The way you have your Corvette set up, it looks good. Just one question...........where'd you get the front end? It looks great!

I read all the comments and I'd like to give my .02 I recall having a similiar problem with my '63 coupe back in 1967 and the distributor was 180* off.

JohnZ, Googled Muther Thumper and got a Cobra site. Ordered TWO lead hammers @ $38 ea. Will keep one for a spare and hopefully will never have to use it. Brian

JohnZ, Thanks for the advice. I'll check on-line for a "Muther Thumper" :boogie , sorry but can't help but laugh. Marking the spinner and cone is a good idea also...thanks........Brian

Can anyone tell me how long the lead hammers for removing the spinners last? The '66 I just purchased did not come with a hammer so I ordered one from a catalog. I recently took the wheels off to examine the brakes, rotors, and calipers then put the wheels back on. The hammer is toast now. I...

Again, much thanks for the repair shop info. I'm going to begin removal of the cluster this weekend. I should have it all taken out by July 34th. :boogie

Much thanks! The directions seem quite easy, just time consuming. My only fear was looking at the pic with the dash cluster removed and all the wiring left behind. :ugh

Had the C5 out today and had two C5's wave back. :thumb

That seems like an awfully long time for them to be holding your car. Could the specialty part have been ordered from Mid-America, Eckler's, or YearOne? Man, not having my Corvette in my garage for 3 mos would give me the shakes.

Thanks for the info JohnZ. I was hoping it would be a task I could do myself. Removing the cluster seems to be the worst part of repairing it. Looks like the work to repair will be farmed out.

C'mon members, surely someone has experience in replacing the odometers. The 1966 manual says you have to remove the steering mast and pull the column in order to remove the instrument cluster. Is there any other way around doing this?

Sometimes, getting someone to wave back is like :BDH but if you're persistent enough eventually you'll get someone to :w back. If you act too weird all you're going to get back is the :finger and when that happens all you want to do is :r. I :v which, to me, is very :pat so head on down to...

The wave seems to be dying down out this way. Too many newbie Corvette owners, I presume, who don't know the tradition. :w

Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to replace the speedometer and trip odometers on my '66? Is this something I would be able to do myself or should I let a shop with more experience handle it?
