Thanks I'll have to find that adjustment. Does the ball stud change direction when you turn the wheel back and forth? The sockets have cut outs in them which makes me thing they're supposed to. When I first took it apart I thought the sockets were totally worn out.

I'm rebuilding the complete manual steering and front suspension on my 68 BB. All new tie rod ends,bushings and A-arms, but then I'm looking at the power valve (all greasy and looking 45yrs old. Seal is bad and metal case around it bent up. Took it apart and springs look good, 2 sockets have...

Thank you Both.. I'll give them a call. Looks like it's just what I need.. Jim

Hi All, After 2 years, I've finally installed the header side pipes on the 68. Fabricating a set of spiral baffles then its time to make some noise. Now that I'm approaching 59, I can't get in and out as easily as I used to. I'd like to find a pc of high temp fabric that I can roll out from the...

Thanks All… Now that I know how to do it I just need it to get out of single digit weather.. Ugh..

Thanks Midnight, I found a thread on this topic and the author showed pictures of using a "locating gauge in neutral position" then to adjust linkage to 2nd hole. Guess that makes sense if I can get it in place w the body on. Has anyone else tried the locating gauge trick?

Both my 68 and 67 have long throws when shifting and I'd like to look into moving the linkage down to the 2nd set of holes to shorten it up. It looks like it should be fairly easy but would like to get a few thoughts from other members who may have done it. My biggest concern is to make sure all...

I agree Tom, I'm searching now where to buy them.Have looked at Corvette Central, Ecklers and Vette brakes so far. Any recommendations out there? Jim

That's correct, bushings are probably original. I bought the car maybe 3-4 years ago and hadn't been titled since 83. Drug it out of a garage and started the repairs so I had not driven it before working on it. Never thought it may be from the bushings being bad.. Thanks

I have a 68 427/400w approx 40k miles per what info I have.. probably 1/4 mile at a time.. now when I hit a hole in the road I get a major shake in the front end. I've rebuilt almost everything in the front end except the coil springs and rubber in the linkage. No power anything. Does this sound...

All, Got my car back last week and sure enough, looked like it had been leaking from day 1. Either vapors or fuel the white connector that connects the cross over line was stained badly. New fuel tank and all is good. I never smelled it either so had to be minimal leak and I never got a recall...

My 04 Z06 with only 8000 miles check engine light came on, so off to my favorite dealer to get it checked out. Showed that fuel tank wasn't holding pressure. A new fuel cap wasn't it so they did a smoke/nitrogen test and they suspect pass side tank is leaking on top. Tanks now out and they found...

I met Craig several years ago when he and I responded to a request from a fellow member (FirstGear) to help with the body removal from his 60 that he was starting. He picked me up in that red C5 in the pics. He sure did like his projects as mentioned earlier.RIP Craig, and sorry to your family...

Thanks Tom, After looking at a tire chart it looks like a 225/70r15 "6.3in x 27.4in" is the closest to the original dimensions of 6.7 x 27.5..Uniroyal tiger paw makes a white wall for about $120ea. That's probably what I'll go with. Diamond backs are about double that. Jim

I'm switching from the old style 6.70x15s to radials, and I've already gone that route on my 67. Has anyone recently bought Michelins for their 62 w/ white walls that I can see and what size and style tire did you go with? My car is white w red interior. Thanks all, Jim

I like the fan to exhaust fumes idea. Shouldn't cost much to add that. Fibers added for sure.. Has anyone poored a footer abound the perimeter? One builder said that would keep the woodchucks from digging holes. And I sure do have woodchucks. Keep the ideas coming. I really appreciate them. Jim

Mac, Guess thats why he's not chatting on the vette forums.. Hope he still posts some pics of his project. I was always impressed with his work. The other member that used to help me a lot was IH2LOSE. Scott, Great idea w the floor drains. I was just told by one of my potential contractors that...

Great ideas all, I've already added 15 feet for that very reason. Its going to be a non insulated building so no heat planned at this time.I like the vapor barrier idea, hadn't thought of that. I'll run that by my contractor. He told be he was using this super strong 6 bag mix crete 4" thick...
