You haven't said how you intend to remove the body. I'd do it intact, if the extra weight isn't a problem based on the method you use to lift. I did a 'vert with doors, seats, folding top, and hardtop still in position. After removing the engine & tranny and disconnecting everything attached...

This may not help, but my circa '76 parts book shows the same disk brake rear spindle (3872476) used for 65 to 76. Whether that's the same part number as the one that originally came on your 65, I cannot say.

I'd envision it looking better if it came forward about 6 inches more, and if the top surface matched the hood surface contour. Ie, as if you cut out a section from another hood 12 or 16 inches wide down the center from rear to front, stopping 12 to 15 inches from the front edge, set that strip...

There are a number of possible reasons, no simple answer. Here is a link to a thread on another forum that addresses this problem: http://tinyurl.com/buqut Bolting the intake down with only the port (side) gaskets in place, then measuring manifold-to-block clearance at the two ends with a...

I'm not all that knowledgeable on rallye's, but "DC" indicates a 15" x 6" wide rim used on 67 Corvette and some later disk brake passenger cars up to about 69 (ie, station wagons, etc). I think the "K 1" is a maufacturer's mark (Kelsey Hayes) rather than a date code, the 8 indicates 1968, and I...

Possibly a bad battery; a loosened or corroded battery cable connector; battery cable shorting to the battery hold-down bracket; voltage regulator. Release/remove the two main cables going into the firewall connectors on the driver's side and inspect for corrosion.

Good info, Jim... on closer examination of the NCRS spec guide, the engine stamp suffix is "GU" for a 240hp order code 449 (the "special cam" engine) which ONLY came with the 3-speed manual... as opposed to "FG" suffix (225hp code 469) with Powerglide, or "GR" (225hp code 469) with 3-speed. I...

Can't give you a definitive answer except to say the NCRS spec guide says the 225hp engine option was a pre-req for the "special cams" installed by the factory, and slightly over half the 225hp option cars sold (3,080) were equipped with powerglide. My guess is that most, if not all, the cam...

"4 - Other good solutions that have worked for you?" Jerry & Step have the answer. I simply carted mine down to a muffler shop and they applied high heat and got the frozen studs out easily... they are used to facing this problem every day so they get very proficient at it. Only cost me a few...

"Checked the fuse panel and found I have no power coming into the top 2 (TAIL and STOP) slots or the bottom (INSTRM) slot. But I'm not sure if the headlight switch was on. I know I had the key on. I'll check again. And if not, I guess I need to pull the fuse box and see if I can see why no...

Unfortunately, at this moment I do not have a C1 wiring diagram to look at (and I'm a C2 owner). I may be off base with this answer, but I seem to recall that older cars used to lose the dash lights when a tailight went bad... that it was a way of alerting the driver that cars behind couldn't...

Paul, what catalog is that? (looks familiar)

Block is a 327 casting used from 62-65 on a variety of Chevys... yours was assembled in the Flint engine plant (F) on 2/11 (0211) of 1964 for a full-size car with manual transmission (RB); sorry, but I was not able to determine the horsepower (range was from 250 to 375hp for that block).

You may be better off shaping some new foam to fit rather than reusing the old pads.... that stuff doesn't last forever, sooner or later it'll start disintegrating.

Haven't tried these guys, but here's another source: http://www.corvettecolor.com/

1. Shop manual says to adjust valve lash by turning rocker nut down slowly until clatter just stops; now turn down 1/4 turn and wait 10 seconds or until engine smooths out, repeat 3 more times. 2. Is the Mallory distributor new? Do you know for certain that it has an advance curve setting...

Sounds like a timing issue. Since the Mallory (mechanical advance?) distributor is new to this engine, it may be worth installing the old stock distributor to see if that improves driveability. Other possibilities that pop into my mind: obstructed exhaust (such as heat riser stuck or installed...

I can't answer you directly, but I suspect you are facing a lot of work, as hood clearance will likely be the least of the problems.... perhaps this vendor can help you: http://tinyurl.com/97g9v

If the reply was meant for me, I understand that; my question dealt with why it is a complex/expensive cable system when most windshield wiper designs use a much simpler design: a rotating motor arm swings 2 pivot arms in an arc via connecting rods. I assume there is some reason for the more...

I know this is probably a dumb question, since I'm not familiar with the C1 wiper system, nor have I restored a C1, but why is there a necessity for that complex $600 cable system? Is there stuff in the way that requires a cable setup be used? If one doesn't require originality, why, for...
