johnz, Ring spacers arent hard to find at all for OTHER types of rearends(10 and 12 bolt rear, and just about any rearend). Spacers are quite common. They are of course not as strong, but for the street they are perfectly fine. I have seen some use them in there drag cars though and find no...

I am in the middle of my tranny upgrade and gearswap and i have run into a little problem. I need a spacer for the ring gear. companies are telling me that i have to change the carrier(which i am not going to do) I will fabricate if i have to. I can not believe no one sells spacers for 63-79...

My suggestion would be to get the 3.70 gears or higher. One thing i have found out is that a torque converter can make a huge difference. You might want to upgrade to around a 3000 stall. I would say 3 grand is about the limit on a streetable car. I am installing my 700r4 tranny and 4.11s this...

vette paul I think your problem has been overcomplicated by some of the forum members. The baffled valve covers should do the trick. Your oil pump, and compression arent the cause of the leaky valve cover breathers. And whoever thinks that 80psi is too much should reconsider. My 76 reads 80...

super comps I have a set of super comp headers( not side pipes) Holley says that super comps do not fit angle plug heads but mine fit my dart iron eagle angle plug heads fine.

i am taking my vette to a shop near me and having them shorten the driveshaft. they warranty any defects and replace the driveshaft if it breaks. They only do this if they measure the driveshaft .. they dont warranty if you do the measurements. sound like a good deal to me.

4.11s Installed my 4.11 gears last nite. I have had the tranny ready for about a week(excluding the tv cable and T.C. lockkup harness). the 4.11s and the lower gear ratios in the 700 should make a little better use of my 400 horses. how much did it cost to get the driveshaft shortened.

torque conv. lockup I am also installing a 700R4 in my 76....I have the new shifter so linkage is not a problem.. I know the drive shaft will have to be shortened and the crossmember altered(or just buy the crossmember that was pre-fab. by 700r4.com) My question is about the wiring. I know i...

Page62 It should be close. I have like 2 and a half threads, if that, on the steering box. I have adjusted the screw before, but that was before the front end rebuild. Hopefully it will solve my problems. thanks, T , o and why do mechanics try to lie. ive been working on cars ever since i...

Same here, I am having somewhat of a problem. The ball joints on my car used to be worn and the car would dart, so i bought a kit from mid america and urethaned the front end up and tightened everything back up. The only thing is that my steering wheel feels a little loose. The car is really...

Bullitt, Where is that site again. Just cut and paste it if you dont mind!

Wow, Those headlights are exactly what i have been looking for . I have emailed tons of places asking for those style headlights but no one had them. If you have a mid america magazine and im sure you so. I always ask for the lights that the red corvette with the blue and white stripe on the...

site must be down

The electric fans would not cool the car so i added the flex fan also. The electric fans do not run off a thermostat, they run off my ignition. and yes they are on. I have an idea. I am going to buy the shroud with electric fans from a 97/98 transam or camaro, take my tci fans off and put them...

Ive been looking for a cool looking set of headlights . what do these lemans/ daytona headlights look like.. got a web site or pic. thanks, T

New Griffin 19x32" alumin.radiator. 180 therm. no bent fins. both fans pull air and so does the flex fan. everything wired right. drivin is fine. just stopping in traffic. temp goes almost to 270

I dont have clutch fans. I have a flex fan and two electric fans.

I just dont understand what the problem is. Timing is perfect, brand new sterwart components water pump. two tci electric fans 2200 cfm a peice. flex fan. runs 180 cruisin, but wants to run hot at a stop. frustration, frustration, frustration

Well its been since the first of December. That is when my heartache began. My 76 caught on fire and was towed to the body shop. While it was there i decided to change a couple of things and add even more performance mods. I pulled the tranny which had barely evaded the fire, and added a B&M...

I could see running a higher compression ratio than 10.5 if you never really drove your car but say on the weekends and you did a good bit of drag racing. So cooling would not be a big problem because you only drove it to the track or to shows. Get to the track fill her up with race gas change...
