"Dog" has it right. :) Its been some time since I fooled with one, but by adding shims under ONE of the bolts ( I think the front-most), you change the angle of the hinge and allow it to close further. Chuck

I have the 427/400 tripower in my 69. No problems with it. Runs like a scalded dog too. Don't know what kind of problems you're having with it. The system should run on the center carb only until you put your foot into it. Chuck

Looks GREAT, Barry. I'd love to see it in person one of these days. Chuck

What a shame that someone put yellow paint on your front suspension. :) Looks great. Chuck

I know that Kahunaville is "on the waterfront" in downtown Wilmington. It's probably an hours drive for me. Can't make it this Sunday....we're celebrating my wife's birthday. (won't tell how many years :) ) I enjoy local shows and cruises. What I don't like are these all day NCCC...

The car looks great, Barry. It's been a long process. :) Hope to see you at some of the local events. I hear that this "Kahunaville" place in Wilmington, Del. is quite a place. I've never been there. They sure advertise a lot. I'll dig out my passport so I can cross the border into...

You're right about the 10 leafer in 75. I'm not a "guru" of anything much beyond 72. That's what I get for "shooting from the hip". :) I'm used to seeing 10 leaf replacements on 63-72's. The replacements that I've seen also have bands around the ends of the springs. Chuck

10 leaf is a replacement. Chuck

You don't give the year, etc, but the numbers you post: V02200HB are the assembly date and suffix. V = Flint engine plant 02 = February 20 = 20th of the month OHB?? Don't know. CHB shows for a 75 350CI 165HP with automatic trans. Could is be CHB instead of OHB? Is your car a 75...

I'm no Pace Car expert, but here goes: The VIN range for Pace Cars is ONLY XXXX900001-906502 The full VIN's are 1Z87L8S900001----and up TO 6502. The FIFTH digit...if it's an "L", it's an L48, if it's a "4", it's an L82 originally. The engine codes are stamped on the "stamp pad" ahead of...

I'm 6"4", 240#. I fit just fine in my 69 convertible, with or without the top up. My wife and I have driven this car thousands of miles on NCRS Road Tours to St. Louis, Bowling Green, and Long Island. It's not the most comfortable car compared to your daily driver, but it's OK. Where...

Why not let Tony rivet the new ones on for you? Take them to Jose...he can do them for you ASAP. chuck

Spring and Fall Carlisle are HUGE. The swap meet dwarf's the Corvette Carlisle event, which is HUGE in and of itself. I've never checked this, but SUPPOSEDLY if you walked up and down each row, in the lower field, the infield, and the North field, it's about 10 miles of walking. It's the...

I thought they dyno'ed the front wheels too. :) Seriously, the car sounded GREAT. You should be happy with those dyno results. Many don't know, but "back in the day" of the HP wars, they rated engine HP using flywheel gross HP, NOT rear wheel net HP. The test engines had no accessories...

Going up to Spring Carlisle on Friday, 4-22. NOT looking for anything special, just catching the "ambience" :) If I find a trinket or two, that'll be good. If I don't find anything, that'll be OK too. Chuck

This is just my opinion, but I truly believe that "sniping" is already a huge problem, and that EBAY will have to do something about it. Everybody's doing it, even on "trinket" Corvette items. I don't use sniping software, but I have to say that most of my "Corvette buds" do. I buy and...

Wrap a strap through the bottom of both lower A Arms. Then cris-cross them, and use a ratchet strap on each to the front of the trailer. Wrap a strap over the rear axle...either side, and use a ratchet strap to the rear. I've towed for thousands of miles with no problems. Don't put the car...

I believe that all 64's used the "batwing" style exhaust hanger. 63's used the "conveyor belt" style. Chuck

Here's another thought...if your original bumpers fit, have them chromed. Sometimes, replacement bumpers don't fit. I have NO experience with the repro's. Case in point....decades ago, I drilled a 1/2 inch hole under my left front bumper to mount a fog light. I was going to have all 4...

To clarify things a bit, the Atlantic City "show" isn't really a "show", it's an auction. They'll run 900 or so cars through the auction over a 3 day period. There are cars in the "gallery" for sale. The flea market has deteoriorated over the years. Used to have lots of guys selling parts...
