Yes, I have the original setup Great site Tom73 it looks like the same system I have. I will check it out this afternoon. Thanks Andy

Can anybody give me information on the cold air induction system on my 75 L48? I didn't even know I had it until I was in a car show and another C3 owner told me about it and showed me the wire on the hood leading to the induction point. He said that there is a switch under the dash that is...

I have already decided what I am going to do when the time comes for any spindle/trailing arms problem surfaces on my 75. I am going to pull them both off and send them for the rebuild (with stainless steel parts). Vansteel has the rebuild (complete) for $390 a side. I have seen them less...

Welcome to CAC. It is great to hear that this project is something your wife and you can share. My wife could care less about the mechanical end of the vette and gives me a hard time when the car is down for repair or improvement. She justs wants to put the top down and ride. I think you will...

You left out the answer to the big question; HOW MUCH $:confused

Thanks for all the great advice. As is usually the case these projects tend to snowball and this one is no different. The day after I pressure washed the vette, I walked into my shop and there was a ton of oil under my baby!:cry I only pressure washed a little under the engine but figured that...

I don't think I can buy varsol here, is there something else that will work the same way? How about kerosene? I am going with chevy orange for the block and intake and valve covers then black and silver for other parts. I purchased some 1500 degree silver paint with ceramic to paint the exhaust...

"varsol" I haven't seen that since I was a kid. can you still buy that stuff.. Do you pour it on or wet a rag with it? Thanks. Andy

Well, for the first time since I have owned my vette, she is not running. I finally decided that I was going to paint the engine and engine compartment and wanted to get it done before October (going to Cruisn the Coast). As things usually go with these old cars, one thing leads to another and...

These are the pulls that look like the old type of door locks with the plastic knob that screws down over the threaded rod. Except these are a little bigger. When I pulled off the pass. side dash front, it all came off with the dash. The knobs are connected with hard linkage and operate a...

I thought I should post this and possibly show my ingnorance in the hope that it may help someone else save themselves alot of time. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any air flow out of my top vents when the fan was on. I also couldn't get the highest speed of the fan to come on. I...

Thanks 68roadster, I have them as one of the choices. andy

Thanks guys, those are great sites and should help. Andy

I am trying to find a kit to replace the a/c hoses, dryer, and whatever else is needed. I think my compressor is still good but thinking about upgrading to the newer (smaller) style. I don't think I need to replace the condenser. The blower blows very poorly but I understand that is normal to...

I saw this in my local paper (Baton Rouge,LA) sounded like a good deal. Thought somebody might want to take a look. 1986 CORVETTE Convertible - Pace car. 1 owner w/papers. Garage kept. Never wrecked. Runs great. $13,500. Call 225-921-8585. Andy

Before you jump to the conclussion that the pooling is gas, is it a dark colored thick liquid that is around the center of the intake and could be on either side? I thought that my carb was leaking as well until somebody here told me that it was oil being pushed up through the threads of the...

Has anybody found a place to order Corvette C3 checks from. I found a few that had an assortment of vettes but none with just C3's. Andy

I read on a post several months ago that there is a blower motor/fan that comes from a GM van and will bolt right in to a C3. I don't remember the year of the van but I have been thinking about changing mine out because of low air volume. Maybe somebody remembers the post. Andy

Ok, that is great, but one more question, I can let the engine warm up before the four barrel will kick in; but how do I put a load on the engine, which I suspect means driving it, and still check to see if the secondaries are kicking in. Andy

That is a picture of my car in the post so if you see it come and intoduce yourself. Are you bringing your vette? Andy
