    Chambered exhaust sections for sale?

    I bought all my stuff from them and took it to a local muffler shop for install. I have 3" with chambereds under the seat areas and it fit great and sounds awsome!!

    Anyone have an original wiper blade holder for a 75?

    I'm pretty sure I still have the original ones off my 77 if they're the same. I changed to aftermarket on mine. If so and you want them, just pay for shipping and they're yours. I'll make sure I have them tonight. Art

    Tires for '81...What do you recommend?

    I've got the firehawks on my 77 and I love them. They handle great and look good to boot.

    yes YES! WOW!!

    Thanks! My wife picked out the color. Couldn't go wrong there! It seems that's what draws people to the car in the first place, then they notice all the mods under the hood.:beerArt

    yes YES! WOW!!

    My wife said yesterday that a young (25 or so) guy pulled up next to her at the gas station in a vette. She asked him if it was a "77" and he almost crapped! He said she was the first person that guessed the year correctly, how did she know? She told him I also had a "77" and he gave her a major...

    stage 8 header bolts - too soft?

    Before you buy the Snap-On wrench, check with Mac tools. I have the set from 3/8" thru 2" and they were a lot cheaper than Snap-On and just as good quality. My whole set was less than $1000.00.

    TACH HELP

    I've got an MSD high voltage coil and so far it hasn't caused any problem with the tach. I'll wait and see. Hope not!

    Comp Cam Kit Advice

    That is the same cam I have in my 383. It is actually an XE262H if you look in the spec. I'm running Performer RPM heads with a custom TPI setup on my 383 and the cam is great! It gives it a real nasty idle and the power band is nice for a street car. I'm running a 3.08 rear which combined with...

    TACH HELP

    Once you have the tach out it's not much of a job at all. If I remember correcly, after the board is installed you have to hook it up to 12 volts and then put the needle on at zero. I might be wrong, but I remember something like that.

    TACH HELP

    As 760kievette said it's straightforward. Just be careful pulling your dash apart, it's old like me and breaks easily. I changed my tach circuit board and converted my clock to quartz and both work great. :beerArt

    383 stroker?

    TMPJoe is right. I replaced all my suspension bushings, added a 7/8" rear sway bar, new springs, I rebuilt the trailing arms and put in Bilstiens and all new U-joints, rotors and rebuilt O-ring calipers w/braided SS hoses, master cyl and booster. The money adds up before you know what's happening!

    383 stroker?

    My 383 ended up costing about $5500.00. With the 700R-4 and exhaust it came up to around $9000.00. I have a custom TPI setup though. As far as messing with it after getting it running, I haven't had to do much of anything. It runs like a scalded a** ape and gets 19MPG. It would get better but I...

    72 parts for sale

    I would be interested in all associated parts for the pop out back window except the window itself, I have that. Sockets for bottom pins, latches and moldings. I don't need the storage tray.

    Stereo Recommendations

    Most of the time I just listen to the exhaust but every now and then I like to rock out! If I have my wife with me she likes tunes also. I haven't driven mine that much either, about 800 miles in the last two and a half weeks. I was doing great till my new 140 amp alternator melted a wire...

    Poll: Who Did You Buy Your current C3 From?

    Got mine from a friend in Canada. He had 6 vettes, 3 airplanes, 2- 50's chevy pickups and an 66 Olds Cutlass 442. His wife said he needed to get rid of one of his toys. Picked it up for $3000.

    Stereo Recommendations

    I know what you mean about can't hear it after starting the car. With my 383 running through 3" chambereds I can't hear much of anything till I hit cruising speed.

    Stereo Recommendations

    I put 4x6's in my kick panels to augment the two in the dash. I also have two 8" mids and s 12" sub in the back with 1200 watts of amps and an adjustable crossover in the jack storage compartment. The amps are digital so there's no heat problem. Signal is from a USA-6 with an I-POD.

    Small Block Electric Water Pump

    My bad! In the catalogs I looked at, the stock replacements were rated at around 19 GPM. I know you know a lot more than me! :BOW I'm just a novice at this. At any rate, the one I have seems to be doing the job so far. Art

    Small Block Electric Water Pump

    I've got an electric water pump on my 383 with dual 11" spal fans and an aluminum radiator and I love it. I didn't do it for power, I did it for room. It flows 35GPM which is a lot more than a stock pump and it runs on only 6 amps. The only problem is it doesn't have a place for the heater hose...
