    1961 technical stuff

    This May Help! About the tops, one came automatically with the Vette and the other or second was just a option. The two tone Vettes were less than 30% of the years run. Contra to todays belief of two tones on everything. :D Leave it solid beigh they look a hell of a lot nicer one color...

    So what is the big difference between the 1967, L71 & L88

    L71 V L88 Actually the L71 is nothing more than the 1966 L72 with tri-power. The L88 is a completely different animal. But for the "IT" sticker on the valve covers and externally with the orange paint they are almost identical. However thats where it stops. The differences are aluminum heads...

    Starter problems

    I tried to E Mail you and keep your request private but it was blocked from receipt. Your OEM style starter should be a staggered aluminum nose piece. And it may be metric with a short switch as compaired to the older models. I would need a lot of information as I hate mistakes. A picture of the...

    Starter problems

    For a non-technical and correct answer to your post read Vettheads answer. I couldn`t have stated it better. :L But another reason is that auto parts is one of our businesses. However that being said there may 'now' be a problem by continuous grinding on the original starter. It just gives up...

    differences between 68 and 69

    Here we go, :D Number one, 1968 Vette`s are not stingrays. If anything they are the production version of the Mako concept Vette. All the rest of the 69-82 Vettes were badged as a less serious killer fish name as stingrays, and are just a clone version of the 1968`s. Worth somewhat serious...

    1968 Corvette problems/issues?

    :grinshot I agree and I have had one since new. Any one of them and I mean any particular year, nearly 99% of Vettes has gone through more than 1 or 2 owners with ideas on how to improve what GM did a great job with. Most of the time with very poor results. Nothing wrong with 68`s, in fact...

    HELP with my '68s History

    It`s a Safari yellow coupe with 28086 miles on the odometer. #13092. It does have a unique history as I bought it to replace what my father thought he was buying. A 427 Ford Cobra. The family was already into racing and Vettes in no particular order and he asked how my 63 FI coupe would do...

    Vendor Warning: Corvetteworx

    I dont know what you ordered, but very few of the Vendors are original manufacturers. They will not expose themselves to this with fancy catalogues and such. What nearly all are, are re-packagers. Some are larger than others and the smaller ones trying to do their best and more personable for...

    HELP with my '68s History

    You have some questions, now so do I. Probably not too important but I do not believe the 70 454 heads would not be a up grade on a 390/427. The lower compression of the 1968/390 engine mated to 70 open chamber heads would further reduce the compression. Does that sound correct? Also what Vette...

    need photo of C1 '60 with fuel injection emblem on fender...

    I believe all FI Vettes had the same script and location from 58-61. This may help expand your search. Exact fender location I cannot help you with.

    New Corvette Becomes Dining Room Art

    At 100K it should have come with the garage and living room to place the Vette into. I bought three 1976 Eldorado Convertibles and between them was less than 600 miles with the lowest at it`s sale of only 47. I finally got them all out of sight nearly two years ago. If I would have invested the...

    rivet bumps on hood of car

    Your asking for a lot of work and money by removing the header. The rivets can be identified by using a contrasting color of paint and spraying it on the front and board sanding the excess away. This makes a witness mark for all of them, and there is a bunch. close to 30 if I recall. The header...

    1970 corvette bronze

    This 1968 SS/RS Camaro has the Corvette Bronze "OO" paint code that was the same as the "992" 68 Vette color. Offered only as a special order for the Camaros this one is very unique as GM never produced one in 68 as I have slightly modified this one to be. No Yenkos or Bergers or any other...

    A good trouble free choice would be the OEM 350HP L79 151 hydraulic camshaft.
