I cannot speak specificly for CA but the general rule from what I have seen is that if you put a latter model engine in an earlier car then ALL the emission equipment that was used with the later model engine must be carried over to the earlier car. In other words it must be installed in the...

Check the paint code on the drivers door post to see what the original color was and go with that. Pearl colors were not available on the '73. The white was Classic White.

The oval headed (door) key should fit it if no locks have been changed.

You should have gone with Sting Ray emblems rather than the Stingray because in lit and ads Chevy refered to the 68 as the Corvette Sting Ray. tom...

Agree.

I have always said that there are only two books worth having. The Factory Service Manual (available new from Helm Inc www.helminc.com) and the AIM. The other books like Chiltons, Haynes are way too generic. For '81 the service manual is called the Shop Manual and Helm has it for $75.00...

Not only have I not been able to find the spare, I cannot find the jack! ;shrug

Chevy Orange.

I got the same message on my '04 a couple of weeks ago. When I started it, it kind of hiccuped and then started. Have not seen the message since so assume it was a one time deal. tom...

Don't believe that the collector insurance companies will insure a C5.

I had not thought about that but it is an issue in only some areas. We don't have the vapor recovery system here. Wonder what those with pre-75 cars do? On my '73 it has a neck of about 4-5 inches. No way the vapor recovery would work there. tom...

Got to agree, the Q-Jet is hard to beat as a street carb. By the way it has the capability to flow 750 CFM but only if your car can use it. tom...

Depends upon what you want from your car. If you want it original then you have no choice as Hib said above. If you dont care about original then you can probably find one from a Buick for a few bucks that will work, just makes the car more un-original. tom...

You will find that most all get the parts from the same sources so there will not be much difference between vendors. What to look for are GM Restoration Parts. Those are built to GM specs by licensed manufacturers and are labeled as such. tom...

1=Chevy 8='68 S=St Louis 414916=last six of VIN Does it match your VIN?

What about an automatic?

"Larry Shinoda, the famous Corvette designer, once commented in an interview that the 1973 was his favorite of the post-1967 era because the front and rear styling were closest to what the stylists originally had in mind when this series was first designed." (Illustrated Corvette Buyer's...

Just wish I had the time to keep it up to date :(

Agree. It goes in before the frame. tom...
