Find a good shop with a scope. It should not cost more that one hour to have the car checked properly. Make sure they do a complete timing check looking at the total advance and vacumn of the engine at idle and under power. Many times the best techs are at your emmision control stations. They...
coupe or convert?
there are many types of cars out there. Do you have a clue what you want? Small block?.......big block?......coupe?......converible?....... disc brake?????
Budget answers a lot of questions. How many $$$$$$ can you spend?
By the best car you can.
Most important
Rust free...
one sold yesterday for $36500
Hal you are so correct. A very knowledgeable Corvette collecter just bought a 62, fawn beige, fawn interior 100% original 340hp car in Central California for $36500. It is a hardtop only, and the original engine was replaced two months after the car was sold...
There is a whole group of 63 ZO-6 collectors that will be interested in the car. i am going to Bloomington Gold , in St. Charles,IL on June 20. Driving back. May I stop by and look at the car?
thx,

How about A85 with F0128HL from vin #9087
I have a good friend that has his complete engine from the above car that he still owns. It is the original motor from his silver 65 coupe that originally had a 365hp TI engine. It is complete from intake to oil pan and was runnng when removed from the...

Red interior?
Looks great Ray. A very good friend had a silver / red 270hp car two years ago. He drove it to the Pomona Swap just to have fun and someone offered him stupid money for the car. It had red interior, and was silver with white cove. What an outstanding color on that car. Everyone...
Depends on the use
If NOS for a show car 63-4 ZO-6 big tanker, probably lots. I saw a set sell for $1000 not to long ago.
Then again, a complete Z0-6 race brake package....backing plates, scoops, covers,shoes, springs, drums have fetched as much as $10000.
Supply and demand rules apply.
Vacumn Advance??
First off Barry, You have so many posts here this must be very confusing by now. Jerry Bramlett has given great advice, as others, but that advice is for you as a new mechanic to take on.
This is not a hard item to learn, but there are three items in timing that must be...
Friends last Forever
Chip and I were great friends.
We met back in 1977 at the T. Michaelis Grand Opening in Ohio. That was a pivital event for many in the hobby as it seemed everyone from around the US met up that weekend. Chip and I hit it off immediately, and we later saw each other...
70-72 Z-28, and LT-1 covers
The Camaro and Lt-1 valve covers of the lates 60's early 70's look great, and will allow you to route PCV correctly. Once you get the original motor back in, you will have very tradeable covers for the correct 283 units. You will find these Lt-1 units are more...
base motor
Your assumption is correct. The base Corvette motor was a 283 with flat top pistons, 9:25 to 1 compression and a 4 barell carb. The 195hp passanger engine had the same bottom end, but a 2 barell and single exhaust. The cylinder head in 59 was a power pack type with a 1.72 intake...
Timing change?
Did anyone change the timing? ie., did you get a tune up, oil change? or other work?
I need to know what work was done to the car to be able to see what they may have touched that results in overheat.
Was it overheating while driving home? Or did it just puke once you turned...
Yesterday, I looked at a 63 split window coupe for sale. It was a rare air conditioned split window. White / red, 327 /250hp , 4 speed, power brakes and AC. Aftermarket AM/FM cassette, but has original radio.
Looks clean and shinny with repo knock off wheels. Car has had front body work and...
Welcome Bonnie.........you are in the right place!!
Reliable call Al at 800-528-1811
Intercity call Bob Sellers at 800-221-3936x103
Both companies are pro and give great service. Lately, Reliable has had better prices and quicker service.....but that is all subject to change
I used Herb at...
a hammer !!
Mechanics never use a hammer !!........except when things get stuck !!
A hammer used on the center of the drum will break loose rust and stuck parts so access may be gained. It sounds like your e-brake cable is sticking....and yes the springs are weak. The car needs to be driven...
So many cars........so little time
Currently I enjoy my wife's 77 that she bought new. I have sold all my Corvettes. Over the years, many friends have said" Jim, you want one of every year......just not all at once.!!"
Well they may be correct. My favorites however, were Rochester fuel...
