    Does Pre Cut Carpet include Door Panel Carpet?

    I just spoke with Mid America about this the other day as I'm in the process of re-carpeting as well. The "set" includes everything that is carpet, including the seats and door panels. Best bet is to call the supplier and ask them before you order. I'd be curious where you end up buying it and...

    350 Engine Rebuild NEED HELP!!!

    I'm in the process of building a 383 stroker and the parts are streaming in :D What exactly are you looking for as far as help? :confused I can be of some assitance, I think, but it depends on what you're doing. I agree with the book suggestions, a great place to start and strongly suggest you...

    Coolant leak - welch plug behind engine mount!

    Looks like that picture of your car was taken down at Surfers??? Nice area, spent some time there. Met some REALLY nice "Sheilas" while I was there, I was doing some work at Koala Country over at DreamWorld and stayed in Surfers. Like Jack said getting em out is one thing..........getting them...

    Alien Encounter on my '81

    Heidi, I just read Gerry's comment "I think that Heidi's guess is a good one, and it makes sense." and re-thought how you may have taken my little laughing guy.........it wasn't meant maliciously at all...............I thought it funny that you were taking a "stab in the dark" regarding a...

    Alien Encounter on my '81

    I never would have thought of the trailer tow package option. I was under the car and didn't see anything that would indicate a tow package so never thought of that nor did the gent I bought the car off say anything about a tow package ( I would have thought that to be a selling point??)...

    Alien Encounter on my '81

    I thought the same thing but there isn't enough light to be of any use and I would think there has to be some way of shutting it off ( I had to remove the bulb to stop the battery from discharging). P.S "A wild stab at the dark".......;LOL Now THAT was funny.

    Alien Encounter on my '81

    Wierd stuff maybe someone knows. My son came out late last fall and said there was an "eerie" green glow under my Vette ( I had blown my heater core at the time and there was radiator fluid under the car). I blew it off, thought he had been drinking. Put the car away for the winter. This spring...

    Very nice forum....

    It's entirely possible that the motor has an on board regulator that is self adjusting.ie when it "feels" the load on the first go round it self adjusts the resistance in the motor coil and limits the current going to the motor. Check to see if the adjuster screw you mentioned earlier is to...

    Desktop Dyno 81 edelbrock heads and 268Cam

    Macgyver, I was reffering to the Vortec heads sorry for the consusion, the AFR are $1300 a set NOT $600..............I wish. From what I can tell the AFR is about the best you can buy, hence the expense. Like I said $$ right now is not the major concern...........at least that's what I'm telling...

    Starting Problems On My 1977

    You need to make sure the bendix is extending to the fly wheel. If it is then you have ( as others have said ) a dead spot on the flywheel ( no teeth ). Rotate the motor be hand and try it. You should be able to hear the bendix extend and spin, if it does that the starter is OK and the fly wheel...

    Very nice forum....

    Nice to have you on board.......you'll like the CAC great bunch of people in here with a wealth of knowledge about vettes. As far as the window motor, not sure but that sounds like a regulator screw which would increase/decrease the resistance to the motor so may slow it down. If anyone knows...

    Spiderwebbing help?

    Yea I'm not real thrilled about this either :( . I've got some serious ones above the right front fender that is actually now allowing the paint to peel, it's cracked so bad. Directly above the drivers side rear wheel there are stress cracks that actually follow the semi circle of the wheel...

    Spiderwebbing help?

    Jack thanks but this is not swirls per say it's actually swiderwebbing cracks in the paint surface. I'm wondering if there is anything you can purchase that I can rub/blend the paint back together so I can wait until this winter to paint. If not, I'll just live with it until I paint. Rubbing...

    Ebay Engine?

    Edelbrock will tell you if the intake won't fit, call them. Most of their people are pretty good. I know for sure that the AirGap preformer won't fit without mods to the hood, new hood or low rise intake ( which defeats the purpose with a 750CFM carb), I'm going for the new hood myself. Not sure...

    McGyver, take a look at the GM Fast burn Vortec heads, nice price. I wrestled between the AFR 195 and the GM Vortec, I opted for the AFR because I can afford them and am building a complete stroker from the ground up and what's a few hundred $$$ when you're building from the ground up :L and...
