    Are C-1 and C-2 prices falling???

    too many corvette owners watch the B/J auction and think they can get the same price. those buyers out there are drunk and pay a lot more than the corvettes are worth.

    check for a "draw" on the battery by placing a milliamp meter between the ground battery termimal and the cable and start pulling fuses till the heavy draw goes away. there should be less than a .5 milliamp draw when everything is OK

    Headlights Work - Doors Won’t Open?

    Q-Jet Arrived; 1968-69 Fuel Filter Needed

    it also reduced the the fuel pressure to the carb after shutting off the engine to reduce the vapor emissions under the hood. that is why if you use a fuel filter without the check valve and your carb still has the "windowed" needle seat the float bowl will lose fuel level back down the fuel...

    Q-Jet Arrived; 1968-69 Fuel Filter Needed

    blocking return line at the fuel pump if you do this you will raise the fuel pressure to where it could flood the carb. this return is a calibrated pressure leak and the pump is built to compensate for this. a trick to do if the pump goes weak is the clamp off the return hose to get you home.

    Jet-Hot Coating

    for the max heat reduction you need to coat inside as this prevents the heat from getting to the header material and the outside coat protect the header. after a period of time race cars that are under constant WOT will flake off the outside coating if just coated on the outside

    All in the Family...The Carlisle Family That Is.

    thanks to NCRS and B/J older corvettes have been put out of the financial reach of most young people and this is hurting the corvette hobby. JMHO

    Mobil 1 vs Royal Purple

    a lot of these so called "RACING OILS " use a excess pressure additive that causes oxidation that is not a problem in race engines because of the frequent oil changes. this oxidation of the oil may be the film you see.

    Installed Silverstar headlights

    if you use a diode you will be putting more amps thru the high beam wiring than the design called for. you will see lower voltage at the bulbs. it is better to use a small relay with the coil triggered by the high beam wiring and a separate wire from the battery thru the relay contacts to the...
