I checked the Tirerack site and the Kumho web site and could not find any details of the run flat specs. I know some run flats are not repairable after being run flat and must be replaced. Does anyone know how close the Kumho's come to the GM specs? tom...

On the '68 there was no emblems but in Chevy ads and lit the '68 Vette was referred to as a "Sting Ray" (two words). tom...

The 3932386 block casting was used in '69 as a 302 ci, 327 ci, and a 350 ci. The 302 and the 350 were 4-bolt mains, the 327 was 2-bolt mains. tom...

It can be done, but I am not aware of any kits. Just need to pick up all the parts at swapmeets and bolt them in. tom...

The new systems are designed to work with 134. They have larger evaporators and condensers to allow for the reduced cooling power of 134. The old systems were designed for R12 and do not have enough capacity for 134. tom...

My driveway slopes slightly down toward the street. I put the ramps going down the drive, then when the car is on the ramp it is basicly level if not slightly nose down. So instead of using a level location, find a slope. tom...

454 was in 3,494 but 4-speed was in 12,359 Of the 12,359 the close ratio 4-speed was in 3,494. Total production was 37,502. tom...

The spare was full sized. They came with 5 matching wheels and tires. tom...

Okay,

Nothing other than rust concerns. Check the frame in the area of the kick up in front of the rear wheels. Also check the windshield frame and cowl area. The C3 had been in production for ten years by the '77 model so most all of the "issues" had been resolved by then. tom...

Paul, A 255 will be tight on the front of a '71. Should be okay on the rear. I perfer to run a 245 and be sure of no rubbing problems. Keep in mind that on later C3 that the fender lips were trimed at the factory to clear a larger tire, but that was not so on the early C3 like your '71. tom...

Okay, let me jump in here with my two cents worth :) Yes, it does make a difference in HP. The cold air induction that was introduced with the '73 is one of the main reasons that the 73 L82 is only 5 HP off of the LT1 of the year before and the 73 LS4 has 5 MORE HP than the LS5 of the year...

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Just buy the best car that you can afford. tom...

Way to go Don :D

But will it fit with the top stowed? Just trying to find the storage space that you have when you are open air motoring.

I found the cargo volume in the the TechCenter: Coupe: 24.8 Convertible: 13.9 Z06: 13.3 Does anyone know what the cargo volume is for the convertible with the top down or for the coupe with the top panel stored in the back? In other words, what is the cargo volume when you are enjoying...

The ESP does not meet the GM4718M specification. Per the Mobil 1 website, the Mobil 1 0w30 and 5w30 meet the spec, while the 0w40 does not. tom...

My factory service manual says that for pan removal the capacity is 5 qts but for overhaul the capacity if 10.8 qts. So a bit more than half of the total capacity of 10.8 qts is in the torque converter. So, as was said, try driving for a bit and then recheck it. Bet it will be okay. But...

Check out The '73 Spot, link below.....

The 245/60R15 should fit all around without any interference. Those are what I had on my previous '73 and they worked great. My current '73 has that size in an old off brand. Plan to switch to the BFG 245/60R15 this summer. But the 225's are the closest to the stock size tire. tom...
