    Bad luck with my 74

    Hi guy's. So I got the Vette back from the bodyshop. Very very nice job. The guy was able to match the paint and it blended nicely. here's a few pics. I've also removed all the stripes I had on the car so now the car looks darker blue...

    Tire Size

    I just baught brand new tires and 255X60X15 are too wide in front if you are concerned with handling the car on the road. I had 255x60x15 all around the car and the car wouldn't handle very well. I've finally baught 225x70x15 in front and 255x60x15 for the rear. And now it handles very very...

    Interference in the cigarette lighter ???

    Well, I've installed a new set of spark plug wires with RFI suppression and it did solve my problem. I no longer have any inteference coming from the cigarette lighter. I can now play my Ipod in the Car. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Bad luck with my 74

    It's still weird. All I was thinking when I've park the Vette is where should I park so I don't get hit by another car. But never thaught one bit about bicycles or people walking. who would've thought? Well now I'm just gonna be paranoid everytime I park the Vette.

    Interference in the cigarette lighter ???

    I've already got the top part on my car. The chrome sheild that goes on top of the distributor cap and it's not stoping anything. First thing I'm gonna try is new sparq plug wires that are made with RFI Suppression. Hopefully that will help.

    Interference in the cigarette lighter ???

    MMM. in that case my best bet would be not to use my cigarette light to power any 12V accessories and just buy myself a nice CD or MP3 player to put in there.

    Bad luck with my 74

    The guy probably weight about 160 Pounds I guess. He was 23 years old. I would've not expected that from a 23 year old. he was not paying attention to the road just his new clips he put on his bicycle pedals. The thing is, his pedale caught into my bumper and then in my tire and it drove the...

    Bad luck with my 74

    yeah. I needed that. I can't wait to see the car after it's painted. The body shop will paint the entire front of the car. I didn't want to take any chances or colors not blending with the fender and hood. So they will paint the fenders, hood, light covers and front bumper. That way there...

    Bad luck with my 74

    Well. Damn bad luck. I went to see one of my friends today. I've park right on the side of his street. The street is very large over there and a quiet Neiborhood. So not alot of traffic. I would've never expected what the futur had reserved me. Beleive it or not. NOT A CAR, but an adult...

    Interference in the cigarette lighter ???

    Thanks, I'll check for a noise filter then. And yes I still got points. Just put some new ones 2 weeks ago. The car works very good. I prefer keeping my points. I don't want to have to change my mecanical tach. It's working fine right now so i'll keep the points system.

    Interference in the cigarette lighter ???

    No it was not working at all with the old rusted plug. So no way for me to know if it was working good before or not. Is it normal? I know some will say I need to buy some new spark plug wires with noise supression. Will those help?

    Interference in the cigarette lighter ???

    HI, The cigarette lighter in my 74 was all rusted. I've changed it for a new one. changed the fuse. Then when I've tried to connect my 300 Watts Inverter to plug some computer external speakers to be able to listen to my IPOD in the Car it was working like a charm until I start the car...

    Hood emblem for a 1980 corvette?

    Hi, Got an e-mail today from one of our Corvette Club member. He's looking for a front hood badge or emblem for his 1980 corvette. Funny but I've looked on Ecklers and Corvette america and can't find one. Was there a nose hood emblem for that year? and if yes, why does anyone have it for sale?

    Need some expert advice

    I wouldn't buy anything that was involved in a flood. The salt water will make that frame rust in no time.

    1976-1982 Aluminium Wheels question

    Well to be honest the $300 per wheel kills it for me too. I can get some really nice brand new wheels here for half that price.
