    C1 head light question

    4537`s It`s not exactly a drop in situation but has two fairly simple problems to make it look and work correct. The 4537`s have two brass screw connectors instead of two spade contacts. Two short lengths of wire between the screw connectors and the original headlight socket in the harness can...

    Braided hoses

    Most of the cars I have seen equiped with these covers look like hell. Dents and funny bends get all the immediate attention, distracting the good points of other accessories. Easy spot to get knocked down in show competition. Plus everone knows that they are just fakes and it comes to mind what...

    Is It Really That Critical...Bellhousing Alignment...Experts...????

    I have never heard of such problems with bellhousings. They only go in correctly. Dowel pins take care of that proceedure. I would imagine that most of the clutch problems result from a worn pilot or mainshaft bearing.

    C1 1962 package tray and heater cover

    The holes should be there for the package tray as all the cars were delivered with them. As far as the heater cover, I dont know where that is even located. I never had my car apart.

    Anyone ever resleeve a cylinder?

    {1} A valve train or related part failed. Exactly which piece, hard to tell. But the geometery may be incorrect on the rocker arm to retainer and valve stem, causing a release of the valve keepers in the retainers. Or the heads were incorrectly assembled. {2} Yes a quality machine shop can...

    What makes yours a "Special/interesting Vette" to you?

    1984 - Z-51 suspension???

    The easiest way is to check the rims. The OEM wheels in the rear are one inch wider than the fronts. One of only a few cars to have this feature until the ZR1. Chrysler was the first to have this feature in special Cudas and Challangers with the 340`s and tri power. If you do have a Z51 package...

    bent spark plug electrode

    If you are using an extended tip spark plug like {AC R45S} switch to a R45 that does not have the extended tip. Some plugs with the "S" suffix may be too long for some compression ratios and the piston can nick the plug.

    L-88 Intake height?

    From the block at the rear to the carb base of the manifold is 5 5/8 ths. inches. You will not be able to use a stock big block hood. L88`s require a taller hood.

    Hard start when hot

    Well for sure it`s not the cranking or charging system [starter or alternator]. Holding the gas pedal anywhere will also not make any difference, it`s fuel injected. Try a fresh set of plugs. :upthumbs

    05`s Vettes Camaro Nose will be Gone

    See For Yourself! Pardon the resemblance! I guess people from California have some sensory defects and cannot see very well. I too have Vettes and several Camaros including this one. By the way, unreleased is not available for delivery. Not that it couldn`t be ordered. Anybody have one in their...

    05`s Vettes Camaro Nose will be Gone

    Apparently the GM brass is not overly fond of the Camaro nose on the new unreleased Vettes. The rumor from the Milford test track is that the sides and rear are acceptable, but the Camaro styled nose is not going to be around very much longer. It`s not considered what a Vette should look like...
