    Help diag a rear end noise.. :(

    SUGGESTION If enough clearance was not given when you installed the wheel bearings on the spindle, then the wheel bearing could have possible already worn out. If they are not installed with proper tolerances you can ruin a spindle. Again, although the wheel bearings are new that doesnt mean...

    emblems for my 76/opinions?

    emblem reply, Me personally, the c-5 image looks much sleeker. but i have decided to stay with the c-3 emblems anyway. i just couldnt bring myself to change the emblems. i would possibly do it if i had retrofit a c-5 drivetrain and suspension but that will never happen. thanks for the insight...

    15" wheel to 16"

    not hard i have a 76 vette with 17"by8" wheels.. when you get the new wheels,where ever you buy them just ask them to make sure they will fit your year model vette.. and all they will do is check what the backspacing is...its not a big deal..

    which tires: goodyears or bf goodrich

    suggestion First of all if you are running any type of 15" rim with a 50 or 60 profile there is gonna be a lot of side wall flex...a lower profile tire is always the way to go...but a low profile 15" tire on a vette would look retarded...i suggest that you go with a 16 or 17 inch rim for...
