Is this a car that you've had for some time, and it used to work properly or one that has done this since you've had it? Did you replace the harness from the firewall plug forward and the instrument panel harness also? Tom

Can you use a different one and change the wiring connector?

That's good news. Nothing like going to the source. Tom

Did you ever get your air cleaner? Tom

Looks like a nice project with a lot already done. It reminds me of the red 65I had back in 82. Fun car. Tom

Wish I could help you with the 82 Crossfire. We have a Crossfire dedicated Forum here on the CAC called the Crossfire Injection Mine. There are several guys that are knowledgeable about the Crossfire that check in there. Many of these topics have been discussed here over the years. Do you have...

That's a great read. Can't wait for the racing to begin. Tom

Welcome to the CAC. That is a beautiful car and a keeper for sure. It's also one of my favorites of the newer Corvettes. Tom

I have heard about problems like that with the tach. Sometimes it's the circuit board on the back of the tach. Others have said it sticks up high after revving the engine and shutting it off. May even go to rest at 6-7 thousand rpm. Also some have said they fixed it by revving the engine, so the...

Awesome!

What color? we need a picture to drool over.

Happy Thanksgiving!

That's what I have done. When I first got mine, someone had painted it with aluminum paint. I submerged it in lacquer thinner in my oil drain pan for a few days and it looked clean inside and out. We used to wash out the old oil bath air cleaners in gasoline back in the day. Let it dry...

I'd be worried about a tire blowing out and taking out a piece of fender; even sitting still in the garage. That would be catastrophic on a car like that. I know the repop tires are expensive but it's a safe way to protect the car. Keep the original tires to go with the car when you sell it...

I have thought about that too. You would need to cut away just enough of the lip that's folded under the base to allow the base to be removed and without distorting the lip that is visible from the outside. I think I would want a 2 piece one in my hand to see how it was shaped. Even a single 4...

I think it would.

Makes me wonder if the new supercharger is set up tighter or some manufacturing change makes it louder..

I was thinking that was a casting date. Since it is the stamping it is a Flint built engine, built March 7. On the bell housing flange opposite from the casting number is a casting date. That should be just shortly before the build date. I would expect to see a letter B or C for February or...

Hi Paul, Welcome to the Corvette Action Center. Yes, the 3959512....327...62-67, was also used for some "CE" replacement blocks for 300 hp engines. Yours was assembled on June 30. Tom

Happy to have you back. Tom
