    Help! Confirm Vin numbers match engine

    3931063 is the casting number of a cylinder head, not an engine VIN derivative. The numbers you're looking for will be stamped (not cast) into a small rectangular surface on the engine block in front of and below the passenger side cylinder head.i

    85 corvette which air intake to buy? SLP CAI or vortex rammer air intake?

    20 more HP would be almost a 10% increase. No aftermarket intake can do that. I'd expect more in the area of 2-5HP increase. Buy the intake for looks, not performance.

    HEI Distributor recommendations for 1982 5.7 Crossfire

    No matter how highly modified a street engine might be, an aftermarket ignition system has no advantage over the stock GM HEI. There is no connection between the 'strength' of a spark and the power the engine creates. Either the spark ignites the air fuel mixture, or it doesn't. There's no...

    HEI Distributor recommendations for 1982 5.7 Crossfire

    What failed last time was poor quality aftermarket junk- which you replaced with more poor quality aftermarket junk. Throw it all away and use OEM GM stuff.

    HEI Distributor recommendations for 1982 5.7 Crossfire

    The original GM unit is the best quality and performance. What's wrong with yours?

    Review: Is this Forum moderated?

    I think the entire site is very well moderated. Keeping in mind that the entire purpose of the internet is sharing pictures of kitties and arguing with strangers (and sometimes simultaneously) it's almost impossible to consistently get the moderation part of it perfect. I can think of at least...

    Battery location

    The car weighs about 3500 pounds. A typical battery weighs about 40 lbs or just over 1/100th of the total vehicle weight. Placing it one side or the other of the centre of the car would make little practical difference.

    sway bar

    You're right. In digging through my notes, I've found that not only is the stock 3/4" bar no longer available, but the 7/8" bars are long gone also. Lack of demand apparently.

    I thought the stock size was 15/16".

    Silver Condenser/Capacitor between Injector and Distributor

    All Corvettes from '75 onwards came from the factory equipped with HEI. The previous owner of yours downgraded it with a hokey aftermarket unit.

    Help! Water in fuel tank

    '73's don't have a glass filter, most are a fire hazard so I'd get rid of it. As you why you've got water in the tank, this can only happen if the rubber surround drain gets blocked. Since you've removed that, are you sure there's not some nasty kids in your 'hood? Drain the gas and refill...

    Update to 82 Collector NO START troubleshooting

    That looks like an aftermarket rotor. I've not been impressed with the quality of many pieces I've seen over the years. Since this component and the cap do not contribute to performance, I'd stick with OEM stuff.

    Help! Reproduction RPO Label

    Sounds like the guy on CF is confused. Obviously this website is not a store of any type, it's an enthusiasts forum like CF itself but much nicer. ;)

    C7 Engine failure

    If you're thinking of the lemon law, it won't apply as yet.
