When headlights are turned on or brake pedal is depressed the seat belt dash light and buzzer go on and gas gauge needle moves to past full. This just started and I don't know where to begin the diagnosis. I hope you have an idea.
There is a new product available from the United Kingdom that is sure to tickle your fancy. It is a line of colored silicone engine hoses that are great for vacuum lines and will match the color scheme of you motor. The material is available in most basic colors and looks great on the car...
Perhaps you are correct about using the stock air cleaner. I didn't use it and got plenty of clearance with the Edelbrock Elite air cleaner. If you are going to use the Performer RPM intake and change the performance and look, then I would use an Edelbrock air cleaners as well.
Nearly every Vette owner has wanted to put some chrome on their car to dress-up the motor or chassis. Some of the aftermarket parts available are GM OEM that have been chromed by the seller, while others are cheap s#$% from China and elsewhere. I have also noticed that the cost is relatively...
Size Does Matter
Hib you're right on the money about size. The Edelbrock Elite has a 3" filter which is a fairly large size (really 2 7/8") and is the one I experimented with - it will work. I looked into all the air filters available with low profiles and found the Mr. Gasket's "Low Rider"...
Yesterday, I fitted the hood on my 75 C3 with the Performer RPM and this is what I found. There was 1 ½” space at the front of the air cleaner and 3” at the rear after the hood was closed. To check clearance yourself, take a wad of aluminum foil and compact it loosely into two balls and place...
Don't go to the shop
I installed the same exact system by myself without much difficulty. I suggest you do the same. You will need four jack stands to do the job. Good luck.
I think this strategy was typical of the 70s'. The cars produced by Detroit during this time period seemed all to feature significant cost savings at the expense in the quality of their cars. Luckily Corvettes weren't hit too bad during this time.
C3 Corvettes 73-79 Still on the Road?
I know that between the time period 1973-1979 there were 304,926 Corvettes produced. Do any of you have an idea of what percent or number are still driving around today, or know where to get this information?
I know that they are an essential part of the engine's cooling area but why simply have a black hole when it could have been dressed up a little. Makes no sense to me
Has anyone seen where to get those C3 Fender Grilles??????
I've seen those chrome fender grilles at a couple car shows but haven't found out yet who sells the kits. I think they'll look great on my 75 - I've hated those black holes in my fenders.
Removing the radiator needs the help of God. Say your prayers and get somone that is not in the spiritual form to help you. When you get the radiator out, do yourself a favor and bring it to a radiator shop to have it checked. Trust me you won't want to take it out again. Yes, moving the...
I'm thinking of buying the #2098 or any of the other Top End Power Package from Edelbrock for my Vette. I have a 75 with the L-48 Fred Flintstone pedal powered V8 165 hp engine with 8:5 to 1 compression. Have any of you used this package your L-48? If so are you happy with it? Thanks. Here...
Radiator Removal
I'm starting the same project and can't get past the radiator removal. I took all the brackets and bolts off that hold the rad in place and still I can't pull it out. Shouldn't the shroud just fall against the engine leaving room for the rad to come out? Did I miss some...
I have a 75 and have been working on restoring it for the past 4 years and the last thing to fix is the alarm. When I turn the fender key switch on the alarm sounds. I triend to hold each switch closed individually one at a time and this doesn't make a difference. I hope you have some ideas...
