The turn signals use a seperate flasher than the hazard. The hazards are powered by the battery and the turn signals are powered by the ign switch. Check the flasher and the fuse. Mike

Hi Joe, Start with checking the fusible links down at the starter. Mike

It sounds like you have the striker too far in and catching on the just the safety lock. Mike

Hi all, The '74 doesn't use an adjustable low pressure switch. It's a V.I.R. system designed to keep the compressor running all the time when the AC is turned on. If the compressor is still on when in the heat position you probably have a broken ac switch in the console attached to the...

Hi Ian, Are you sure you are talking about the sway bar? Or are referring to the lower control cross shaft that bolts under the crossmember? Mike

350 was the only auto available in '78 Mike

Dave, All C3 posi units are Eaton. I've installed many of them in 12 bolt and 10 bolt GM rear ends. They work great and the best part is they are rebuildable. Mike

joe, i just took some measurments. a stock vette wheel has 4" backspace. there is 1/2" clearance between the rim to the e brake cable bracket and from the rim to the spring. a 10" rim will work if it has the 4" backspace. to use a 10" rim with a 5" backspace will require the offset trailing arm...

thanks chris, i had a feeling i was saying that wrong. mike

vetteatv, no the valance is the panel under the front end behind the bumper connecting the front fenders. the air dam, also referred to as the spoiler, attaches to the rear lip of the valance to help force air up into the radiator. mike

post deleted due do waking up way too early and explaining it wrong. see diaghrams in next post. mike

cs, the vacuum switch on the wiper arm only allows the door to close when the wipers are parked. the switch on the firewall keeps the wipers from moving until the door is fully open. either the plunger is adjusted too close or the switch is shorted or bypassed. mike

greekman, the four center bolts are clips. cut the bolt heads off and bend the clips to get them off the valance. the four outer bolts are screwed into brackets. they are 1/4 x 20 thread. you can drill these out and rethread to 1/4 or if you need to the braces are large enough to tap for 5/16...

cs, check the contact switch under the hood. it should not let the wipers work until the door is open. mike

check out "tom's differentials" but be prepared when you see the price mike

joe, the heat riser forces the r side exhaust thru the intake to preheat the air/fuel when engine temp is below 150 degrees. it has no effect on warm-up time. you might notice a stumble during warm-up if you remove the servo, assuming it even works. i doubt you will notice any difference. mike

bill, you have it correct. let me try to go into more detail. stock wheels, 275-60 tires: the tires rub on the emergency brake cable bracket. this can be fixed by relocating the bracket to the top of arm or using offset arms. 10 inch wheels with 1-2" more backspacing: the tires will rub on the...

bill, the offset trailing arms do not change the position of the wheel and tire. they just give more clearance between the tire and arm. depending on the offset of your wheels you may have a clearance problem with the spring and with the frame kick-up. mike

This one Robert?

Steve, The alarm system is totally seperate from the engine systems. The engine swap is a bolt-in except for the carb and distributor. Mike
