I'm in need of a correct A/C drier for my car. It will be NCRS judged so I need the correct part. Does anyone know where I can get one?

It was the sock over the pick-up tube in the tank! Thanks to everyone for your advice and suggestions. I traced the problem all the way back to the tank. I dreaded it when I realized I had to remove the fuel tank. Once I did I opened it up and discovered that the sock at the end of the...

My car runs fine at idle and up to 70 mph (didnt try faster) without any problems if you slowly depress the gas pedal. However if you press too fast it goes for a moment and then cuts out. It will die if you dont back off the gas. A service tech said it was a fuel starvation problem, maybe a...

I sent the Carb out to be rebuilt. The rebuilder said he didnt find anything obviously wrong with it. He said the problem may have been some dirt or something in one of the jets. I put the rebuilt carb on the engine and it fired right up and is running as strong as it did before it died...

Okay, someone told me that I should spray starting fluid into the carb. If the car runs... that would indicate the carb is the problem. It is the original Q-jet that was rebuilt after the original engine was rebuilt. Both were working fine until the other day. Weird! I removed the fuel...

Interesting that you mention that. The ONE thing that I did right before it started running bad was to pour 5 gallons of fuel into it. The fuel came from a local deli mart that normally provides good fuel. Is there an easy way to determine if there is water in the fuel? I ask because I've...

Thanks to each of you. I put the belt on and it and it has the factory part number on it. Though that doesnt mean that it's the correct size. It could be that it is the wrong size but was sold with the factory part number on it so I would pay more for it, which I did. I'll check it and let...

The 75 L48 has a new motor and has been running like a top. Less than 10 miles on her but at least 20 hours of running time. I put ten gallons of fuel in her after setting the timing last week. I turned her around in the driveway and then parked her in the garage. The next day she started and...

I a 1975 Convertible which appears original. I'm haing a problem with the power steering pump. The problem is in trying to check the fluid level. The pump sits under the alternator so the cap/dipstick for the power steering pump wont come on of the pump unless I remove the belt and pivot the...

Thanks Wayne and Duke. This is the kind of information I was looking for. Sounds like the M74 coding doesnt necessarily indicate is was strictly used on coupes. The NCRS judging manual is where I found that information. I wonder when the change between the convertible and coupe glass took...

Will someone please check their side windows and tell me what codes are listed. I have a 1975 convertible and the window coding is DOT 15 M 74. I've been told that the M74 windows are for coupes and convertibles are M75. I'm having troubles adjusting the windows so I think there might be...

Thanks for the information Thanks to each of you for taking the time to answer my question.

I have a 75 Convertible and need to replace the center console insert. My car has real wood on the doors and the console and I'm told it came that way from the factory. My console insert needs replacing. I have heard from two noted experts that give differing information about which material...

I just wanted you to be aware of the differences so you wouldn't be surprised like so many of us have. There is nothing worse than spending the "extra" money to purchase something that is supposed to be like OEM only to find out it has subtle differences that can be detected on the judging...

Beware the repro windshield differs from OEM. FYI: There is a logo on the OEM glass that is sandwiched between the two glass panels. I'm told the repro glass has the logo etched on the interior of the glass and can be felt with your fingers. My information comes from NCRS.

I checked all the archives and couldn't find an answer so I'll give some details and then ask my question. I have a 75 convertible with A/C. I have the Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) and it shows the turn signal flasher and a buzzer behind the passenger side dash. I have the dash out and...

Is it possible the tranny is fine but the u-joint(s) or rear end is shot? I had a similar problem a few years ago and it turned out to be a bad u-joint on the half shaft (actually two bad u joints). They never made a noise or acted poorly when in any of the forward gears but every time I put...

Does anyone have experience replacing the carpet in the storage doors? I'm working on an original 1975 car. I removed the trim from the three doors after drilling out the eight (two on each edge) circles. I say circles because I don't know if they were made of plastic or if they were resin or...

Vettehead is correct, 75's have only blue VIN decals. The door of your 75 should have the same decals and in the same locations that ahoovers has. The blue decals are available from several corvette suppliers such as Corvette Central p/n 263037 or on ebay at...

My tach isn’t working and Ive been told to check it for 12 volts. There are three wires connected to the rear of the tach, black, pink, and brown. The wiring diagram shows the black wire to be ground. The pink wire is a constant 12-volt supply and the brown wire goes to a filter on the manifold...
