J. It is consistant at drive and standing still. :( So that rules out the driveline and tires. That I guess is good, but this sure is frustrating. :confused Shawn

Thanks Jim - some interesting info there. :cool

Jim, I have a little slop in my steering at the box. How do you adjust the "lash"? Shawn :)

Joe, With my set up (all stock), I'm sticking with the stock ram horns. I decided to go with chambered exhaust as my dual set up. (part of my winter project). I have come to the notion that in previous posts regarding dual exhaust and headers is: unless you have other performance mod's...

Just to check, I pulled the motor and tranny mounts - the tranny was weak, so I changed it - and I had one seperated motor mount (couldn't tell by visual inspection), so I replaced both. Now I have vibration all throughout the powercurve! UHHHHHH!!!! I would hate to think that my motor was...

Ron, I'm running stock 3.36 gears. I hear you on the set up. Even with a change to true duals and an intake swap, it looks like i'm very limited. Summit has a cam (k1102) that might work: 204/214 .420/.442. I think that might be might limit unless I change out the heads. My thought "is it...

Where can you find these service or tech bulletins on the internet? Or do you need to go to Chevy direct? Shawn

Thanks Bob :) I really appreciate you doing this. Shawn

Bob, I did a search on "trailer" and "hitch". No luck finding the post / photo. If it isn't a problem, can you upload another photo? :D Shawn

Can anyone verify how a factory hitch was installed? I have been unable to locate any information from manuals or techies that I have spoken to; no one really knows or has seen one. Anyone know where to look or talk to for infromation on this?:crazy Shawn

Dave, I have the build sheet, but I can't make it out (very faded). From everything I can determine, the setup is original. I went back through some old invoices and there is referance to "4sp". So, I guess my next step would be to get the numbers of the tranny - I'll take a look later...

So here's one for all you guru's out there... In referancing material regarding the factory trailer package I have on my '78, my tranny is a "M38". :eek When I had the car checked out by a Corvette shop in Denver (pre inspection before purchase), the mechanic mentioned he hadn't seen my type...

Hey everyone - I'm assembling my winter wishlist and want to know what everyone is using for a cam? I have a stock L48 w/4spd that has a stong lower end (140-150 compression). I plan on dumping the 2-1-2 exhaust and going to true duals (chambered) and adding a performer maniforld with the stock...

Tomas, Keep the faith! I actually landed the car I wanted within a month of searching. The forum was a great help along with some family members that have good Chevy knowledge. I purchased the car out of Denver (I'm in Seattle) without ever going to see the car. The seller I worked with was...

stingray - did you ever determine what was the cause of your engine vibration? Just changed the HB and it improved, but the vibration is still there. Shawn

I did a check on the motor mounts - they are solid. The tranny mount seems to be the same. I can recreate the vibration in neutral. Rev her up and shake she goes. But I noticed it is mainly through the tranny. The motor does not show excessive signs of vibration (visually), thus I tend to think...

So in my quest to eliminate and determine my vibration around the 3000-3500 rpms, i've replaced all my belts, fan clutch and the harmonic balancer. The harmonic balancer was in the worst shape; I could just about push the two pieces apart with my hands. :eek So after that is all said and done...

Replaced the Harmonic Balancer the other night, hooked it all up, gave it a tune then let it run for 15 minutes to be sure the belts were set. All of a sudden, a I hear this "noise", so to be safe I shut her down and check the belts etc. Turns out the fan clutch was loose enough to fly off if I...

Jack, No need for the install tool, the remover i picked up had an installer included. Thanks anyway. As for the balancer, no problems coming off or putting back on, and man can i tell you how shot :eek the original one was. I could almost push the outer ring from the inner ring with just my...

I'm fairly sure that it is the balancer. The outer ring won't hold a mark for TDC. I also did research on old invoices from owners past and noticed that someone had tried to give it a tune, "unable to tune, balancer had moved". That was back in '97. Thank God there has only been 2k miles put on...
