Thanks for the input guys:) :) .I didn't know a special tool existed. How much does the primer tool cost ??

Check drive shaft and half shafts for any play in the u-joints. They are fairly easy to replace. If there is even the slightest play replace all 6 you will be glad you did if you have ever seen the damage to a fibreglass floor when they let go:cry .

I have had major construction in my neighbourhood for the past 2 years.The only way to get on the main street would be to turn my vette into a 4x4. I decided to let her sit on blocks and now after her long slumber I am going to fire her up. When I put her up I put oil in each cylinder (thru...

Thanks guys!!:D :D ;worship . I believe I have both problems. I didn't torque the 4 bolts with full weight on it and there seems to be a little play in the cover to spring area. I will try both and then pray for some nice weather sooooooon to try her out.:bu

I removed my rear spring on my 72 to detail it. I replaced the liners with a cheap aftermarket set :( .I reinstalled and drove it for 1 summer and now the metal spring leaves don't seem to line up.I realigned them but they returned to the same cockeyed stance.The new liners don't have the little...

Soak old sticker in boiling water or pour it on for a while and it will fall right off:)

My restoration book shows a rochester q-jet # 7041204 for a 72 454 coupe automatic as the correct carb. The last vin # of 503764 (early 72 ?) could mean it might have a late 71 carb. #.It currently has a 7043200 (not correct for 72) but some say it might be correct.Anyone else know??:confused

Same thing on my 72 454 with big tube headers,Rebuilt the original starter added the correct shielding over solenoid and replaced battery with 850 cold crank amps. 12 years later still no problem.

The wax when dry will only enhance the cracks.Colour waxes work better.Repairing is very expensive but should (done right) cure the problem.My 72 is very dark black cherry and just after washing I use women's black eye liner over the stress cracks.After everyone stops laughing I will tell you I...

I had my 72 aligned and had trouble just getting the align. computer to go back that far for the specs.(ended up using 76 specs.)They start with the back wheels as a reference. If they need to be adjusted and the trailing arm bolt is rusted solid in the bushing they cannot add shims unless the...

The alarm looks newer so I am guessing it was changed but I will definately get compartment rekeyed(looks alot easier).A lock guy tried to tell me that the ign. and doors were separate and different style keys for 72.Thanks a million for the info!!!!:) :) :)

What exactly came from the factory in a 72 coupe.Does the ignition square key only for ignition or did it also open doors too?Does the round key open rear compartment as well as operate alarm lock at the rear tail?My car right now has one square key to open doors and start car and one round key...
