    #952 Turns Ten

    Thanks for reminding us all to check our build dates on our Z16s.. I am pretty sure I'm #125. I used to be able to check it on the Z16.org site but it seems to be inactive where I was registered. My vin ends 5114721. Is there another site where I can confirm build #?? Now if it will just stop...

    Restorations from the deep..

    All, I've been glued to the NCM web site to see the cars being recovered from the sink hole and have read that GM has committed to restoring all these classics back to original condition which I applaud General Motors. Maybe this should have been a survey but didn't know how to do that.. I...

    Repairing hole in header

    I bought a used set of chrome header side pipes and after I get them home I see a couple long 1/8" x 2" holes in the collector where the 4 tubes go into one. I think the metal is thick enough there I can TIG weld those. The one I'm looking for advice is a bend in front of the collector has a...

    Re-tune after installing hooker header/sidepipes

    I like the way your thinking. It's easier to drill the hole bigger than try to make it smaller. Who did you order yours through?

    Re-tune after installing hooker header/sidepipes

    Shark, I was thinking about drilling a hole, so 1/2 is all it'll take? Guess I won't open it up all the way.. I was even thinking of making my own. I was a pretty good welder back in the day.. Hib, I learned something today, I assumed my TI didn't have the weights and springs, well I've never...

    Re-tune after installing hooker header/sidepipes

    I sent the carbs out couple years ago to Craig Woodruff to get rebuilt and said he set them up for pump gas. May or may not have re-jetted. They are Hooker type w 4 inch slide ins. I'm going w the STS type very low restriction. I guess Hib with TI all I can change is timing? I have been thinking...

    I have a 68 427x400 that has been bored out a bit and is still running hydraulic lifters which was rebuilt last year. I'm running the original tripowers rejetted for pump gas and TI ignition. I'm going to install the hooker set up in the spring, my question is what adjustments am I going to have...

    Painting Chrome hookers Black

    All, I just bought a set of used Chrome headers and side pipes. Header side, the chrome is mostly gone with some rust around the collectors and the tubes look pretty good although I haven't attempted to separate them yet. I've searched the archives and found many older threads but thought I'd...

    WTB Header sidepipes for BB 68

    All, I'm checking to see if I can find a good used set of Hooker or Dougs header side pipes before I take the plunge for a new set. I prefer Black over Chrome... Would prefer to stay around the Northwest Ohio area to skip shipping fees. Thanks, Jim

    Back Home

    Great coverage Rob, I haven't followed a new models reveal so closely ever before. From the photos and video footage I've seen so far I'm with Rob feeling this appears to be the best corvette ever. But to be absolutely sure, I'm heading to Detroit Sunday morning to find out for myself. Looking...

    Do you think the C7 Tailights Look like the Camaro Tail Lights ??

    I think GM did a great job at creating the new model.Front and rear.Even the interior in my eyes looks awsome from all the pics that Rob has posted. Are the tail lights similar, all I can say is that they're not round, but I'll get used to them.And If they can do all that and keep it close to...

    Seat lowering

    All, I own a 62,67,68 and an 04 Z06 and am 6'1''. I hadn't thought of this until I was talking to a friend who just bought an 09 Viper (i apologize up front) he also is tall. The previous owner had the viper seats lowered so he wasn't looking through top of the windshield. Has anyone tried...

    When I drove it out of garage and down the road, you can hear the brakes binding and rubbing but the brakes still worked when I applied them. I'll check the diaphragm also.. Thanks
