    Top Speed Run tonight finally done!

    I did a high speed run yesterday. I have a Gm Goodwrench 350, 700R4, 3.08 gears. I held it in 3rd till 5000 rpms and I hit 130. Because of the 3/4 throttle she wont shift into OD till I let of the gas a little. With the Corvette wide open throttle option I would run to 150 mph easy. 120 mph...

    Weight Difference Between 79 and 80 frame?

    The frames are the same. Thinner hood material, thinner glass , the rear differential housing, the front behind the bumper is aluminum pieces and also I think the pace car seats. I think that was all.

    Car not sitting level.

    My car in the rear passenger side used to sit 2inches higher than the drivers side front. It turned out to be the rear leaf spring. I took the heavy spring out and put the VBP composite spring in. Now she's sittin pretty.

    C3 Corvette's have a terrible Coefficient of Drag ratio....

    I thought the 1980 was lowered to .035 from .044 because of the intergrated front spoiler.

    Thanks for clearing that up. What RPM should the timing be set at? Is 36-38 for daily drivers or high output engines?

    Help with Ignition timing!!

    You need an adjustable timing light. That way you can get a better feel for what is zero degrees timing, etc. Try to get it to max out around 2,500 RPM at about 36 to 38 degrees. I have a timing question. On the damper there are degree marks. They go so far. How do I get the total timing at...

    Carb question

    I recently installed a GM Goodwrench engine in my 1980. The carb while on the old engine would hardly open (secondaries). Now they open half way. One problem I have is that it is hard to start. I used to pump 5 times and she would start right up. Now with the new engine I pump it 5 times then...

    It turns out that the power steeing control valve ball joint is where the play is. I wish I had known about the steeroids kit 2 years ago. R&P steering is cool, its like a go cart

    Steeroids Going In Today - Finally

    Dont go crazy with the stock worm gear steering.I replaced every steering component and I still have play. It sucks. Thats the one thing that I dont like about the car, steering. I WILL put the rack & pinion in eventually. Ill do it when I get the front composite spring kit.
