Hi,
Ive been trying to bleed the brakes on my 77 vette, rears bleed fine but as soon as i get to the passenger side front caliper I must of had spent a good hour pumping the brakes, releasing the valve over and over again and still air is coming out. It seems to be getting less and less worse...
Howdy,
I just replaced the driver side rear caliper because it was leaking. Now before it started leaking I had pretty good brakes. Now I gravity bled the system and I still dont have any brakes what so ever.
Pedal goes right down to the floor and only the front brakes kick in.
What is the...
Been having problems for my harmonci balancer, cars been parked for awhile and i went to go see it today.
Decided to check the harmonic balancer to see if i could move it with my hand which I coudnt do. One thing that I did not check is to see if the rubber was deteriated. But lets say its not...
Hey how about getting a caliper rebuild kit. Hell of alot cheaper and it doesnt seem that hard to do either. My rear caliper started leaking and im gonna rebuild mine.
At least i hope its easy.........
lol
My 77 is an automatic and I believe it has 3.08 in the rear. I think whatever comes with it stock.
What kind of power would the engine gain from changing the cam and manifold.
Heard that some people got these engines up to 350 hp easily.
Thats about the power range im looking for. But doing...
Got myself a 77 with the l-48 SB. Recently got the heads rebuilt, put a new water pump on, painted the engine and got myself hooker side pipes.
How could I get some more power out of this engine. I was thinking of getting a edelbrock manifold. And the changing the cam. But what kind of cam...
Hi,
No matter how far i turn my distrubutor counter clock wise i cant get my harmonic balancer to lign up with the timing scale.
Ive turned it as far as i can and it just reaches the bottom of the timing scale.
What could be wrong here, is it the harmonic balancer or did something slip or...

Hello all,
Just wondering if someone can help me, when i put my 77 vette into drive sometimes it makes a clunking noise in the rear end (differential).
Also if I am driving and let go of the gas pedal it will sometimes make a clunking noise. I can sort of feel it, almost like I ran over a...
Hi,
Winter is fast approaching up here and I dont want to park my vette until it actually starts to snow.
But theres one little problem, my blower motor does not work. Actually in the 2 years that I have owned the car it never has.
Before I go and start fooling around with the switch and the...
Yes i always found that quite strange my cavalier revs at 2800 at 80mph and my corvette revs at 3500-4000. Guess im gonna have to change it to and overdrive transmission like the one you said.
Im dont really care about 1/4 mile times, im more into top end speed. What kind of changes would you...
great thanks guys,
man you would think they would of had designed it so it woudnt rev so high at those speeds.
Oh well maybe in the future im gonna change the transmission or maybe just get me a big block engine. Oh yeah.
Gonna go check my Idle screw today and let you know what happens talk...
Yeah,
I think my tires are smaller then the original or what is supposed to be there. I will have to check tomorrow since its dark out.
Just wondering what other people where getting.
Hi,
Just a few questions for you guys, when my car does about 70-80 mph its reving at around 3500rpm. Is this where it is supposed to be for a small block 350.
Its a l-48 all original except for the hooker sidepipes. Also my car revs really high in park and in drive. In park its at 1500-2000...
Yeah I finally got my vette out of storage after like a year.
She started up right away, sounds sweet with those side pipes.
But already noticed a few things i have to fix.
1. My rear driver side caliper is leaking.
2. The motor seems to rev super high like 2000 in park. And when I floor it...
Im gonna finally be able to go get my 77 corvette out of storage. The last time i started it was in december.

Thanks for the help..
