Well. I guess before I start using that calculator I'll have to make sure my speedometer is acurate. Maybe I'll just wait and this winter I'll open the rear end and I'll know for sure.

Ouf that calculator is complicated, first I don't know what Enter the Gear Ratio - 3.0 for 3.0:1 means. I don't know what the -3.0 for 3.0:1 means. 2nd is that when I've entered 60 MPH for 2500 RPM it's giving a different gear ratio than what i put for 100 MPH for 3500 RPM. It's should give...

Hi, I would like to know what gear ratio I have in my rear end on my 74. I don't really want to open the rear cover from the rear end. How else can I tell? The Vin on the block is not the original so no help there. The only thing I know is that I've got a L-48 Engine with the 4 speed...

I was looking for a cam as well. Your best bet is to do what I did. I've called directly at comp cams. Told the guy on the phone that I had the stock engine L-48 350 ci, 8.5:1 compression ratio and that I wanted my car to sound good but was driving the car often and not racing it. The Agent...

Here's my 74

Same problem here man, I've tried to fit my T-tops in those same leather bags and I was not able to fit them either. I wonder if leather shrinks with age. Anyways I will probably buy the case from www.corvetteamerica.com. It's much more protective than those bags. You can check it out here...

I'm not saying it will fix your problem but I had an old lincoln town car and my sister was driving it one day and never checked the gauges and a radiator hose got loose and the car lost all coolant and she drove it that way until the engine started to knock like crazy. I thought I had lost...

Well. I don't know how come my car was still able to stop. I had no more brakes to work with. ahah I've finally worked on my breaks last night and found out that I only got 2 calipers leaking. the 2 fronts actually. The 2 in the back have stainless sleeves and are in really good shape. All 4...

HI, I have a 74 coupe L48 , 4 Speed. I got mine for 10K in Canada. You can usualy get them cheaper in the US. It will cost you a bit to have those 2 bumpers painted to match your car. If I were you I wouldn't spend more than 10 K for your car. For example mine looked Awesome when I baught it but...

Well I went for a drive yesterday. And my braking power is going away. When I got back home. I've checked again and notice that now I have 3 Calipers leaking. My guess is that the 4th one won't take long to leak too. I will replace all 4 of them and do the job myself this week. I cannot take...

I have one front caliper that started to leak as well. Should I change this ASAP or can it wait a little while? I've just put over 1500$ or repairs this month and wanted to wait a bit. But can I wait or not?

About time we see a Corvette in a movie. I wish that we see more C3's in years to come movies. If you look at all the movies that came out involving cars, they never included a C3 corvette. Gone in 60 seconds, fast and furious 1 and 2, they never showed a C3 in any of those movies. I...
