    No More Buying Power Window Switches

    Take off the carpeted side panels, 3 screws each side. 1 towards each end and the middle screw is next to the seat. Might need a 90 degree screwdriver to get it or if you've had your cushions out and find that easy to do it will help to reach that screw. A small open end or box wrench should...

    Question: Removing the Power Antenna from My 79 Corvette.

    If there's no connector underneath near the antenna, you may find one behind the driver side rear speaker or blockoff panel. If nothing there, it probably goes all the way to the relay without a joint. Seems a lot of guys just cut and splice. Leave enough wire so you can slip the splices through...

    Need 1978 Pace Car Colour Code

    From a discussion we had on another site. Maybe it'll help..... "Jake wound up finding the correct color on a PPG Chart, however, it was on a 79 Corvette only color and it was the correct 47 called "Pace Car Silver". It was a single stage paint, he sot a piece and then had it matched to be a...

    FS...several power antennas

    Good luck with that! I bought 3 repair kits from GMPartsDirect about a year ago. Out of curiousity I emailed them the other day about the availability of the repair kits as they still list the part no. on their site. Got back a reply..."Discontinued, no longer available from GM". NOW I know...

    FS...several power antennas

    Is the new mast section sliding through freely now? Did you need to file the joint? I can do the older style alum case antennas with my eyes closed, but I've only done about a half dozen of the later slimlines over the years.

    FS...several power antennas

    Jeff, I always throw away the new seal (nub?) and reuse the original. Then again, is there even a seal originally? I've gotten to where I don't pay attention when I got em apart. I know there's a drain so why need the seal? To go up...Grey -, Green+ Down........White +, Green- Looking at pics...

    Help! power antenna runs constantly

    Hey Jeff, yep, that's what I have. Brand new in the Delco package. Last time I bought a few I bought all CB repair kits. I use them mostly for repairing the earlier aluminum housing antennas where I need to cut the hook off the end. Using it in a non CB antenna I simply cut an additional 4" off...

    WANTED:79' Plastic Wiper Knob(just the circular thing)

    Well, if it comes down to it, I don't actually "need" the repair part I have for a CB. I simply have it for repairing other's antennas. So, yours would fall into that category. I do have a mint late79-82 CB antenna from my white79. Came off at 11K miles. Broke when I was inspecting the Vette for...

    Help! power antenna runs constantly

    We've been discussing this in another thread and it appears the repair kits for both the CB and nonCB antennas are either discontinued or being discontinued. In other words it looks like the Corvette vendors may be the only source for these til they run out. I do have a new GM part number for...

    WANTED:79' Plastic Wiper Knob(just the circular thing)

    Unfortunately it HAS been discontinued. Stopped by my GM parts guy today and he told me both the AM/FM and AM/FM/CB repair leaders are "no longer in inventory". He did show a new part no for the AM/FM one, 19151297, but I'm not sure of the status of that part. He did print me out a list of...

    WANTED:79' Plastic Wiper Knob(just the circular thing)

    Glad the knob worked. Are you talking about the nylon lead with the small mast section on it? That repair part? You can still order that over the counter at any GM parts desk. pt no.22038197. That number may be superceded by a newer number but it should show up when they look up the old number...

    Help! power antenna runs constantly

    Yep, you unscrew the ring. I've used needle nose pliers, carefully, to turn it off. SHOULDN'T be real tight as it's against paint. Remove the driver side rear speaker or cover. You may find a connector back there, otherwise it goes all the way to the relay. No connector, most people cut and...

    replacing rear spring,do i peen cup washer

    Same here. A little neater than banging on em with a hammer. Used a couple sockets, one with a bevel that fit inside the cup, and a long bolt, washers, and a nut. Tighten the nut onto the bolt and it pulls the beveled socket into the cup. Unfortunately, the beveled socket is an old oil pressure...

    Help! 1975 corvette hood alignment

    Use the above diagram as a starting point, but in the end, put the bumpers where you NEED them. Also, be prepared to grind some material off the base of the bumpers. And if you need to raise the hood in the vicinity of the wiper well be prepared to adjust the hood catches. You don't want them so...
