    Wheel Center Caps

    Hmmm.... I don't like the sound of that yet. He currently has the center caps with the real C5 emblem, not a sticker. So I would have to buy blank center caps and then have a company create a sticker? I would think someone out there has already created the C4 logo for these wheels.

    Wheel Center Caps

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a gift for the father-in-law. He just recently bought a set of wheels for his 1990. He went with a set of C5 wheels. The problem is the center cap has the C5 logo on it. I want to find him a set of C4 logo's to go in the center. Anyone have an idea of where to look...

    I forgot how neat that looks.

    Some little kid will see you riding in 67Heaven in your Santa suit and think "he traded in his reigndeer power for some real power". But yet you can't get air borne.... or could you?

    I forgot how neat that looks.

    What did you expect? That's just the thing, the Prius owner meant to give you a thumbs down, but was so blown away he forgot to turn it upside down;LOL No, I think it is just an impulse to smile and wave or give a :upthumbs or whatever it may be. Brain sees 67Heaven and just stops dead in...

    Throttle Performance Switch

    I just received my Mid America Magazine and was flipping through when I found a Throttle Performance Switch for L83's, L98's, LT1's and LT4's. This is on page 57 of the all years book (53 - 06). I was curious if anyone has added this to their Vettes? Has anyone noticed any difference? It doesn't...

    Hello & a couple of questions

    You think that is bad? Wait until you have to change out that power brake booster. Thats a real back bender. Better if you can remove the seats, but mine were so rusted I was affraid to take the drivers seat out as I would never get it back on.

    The 'Opti'

    Some ideas Ok, as a new LT1 owner myself I have been having these questions as well. I have found a great resource for Camaro's now at shbox.com. He has been a big help. Here is a picture that may help. This is the Opti itself If you go to change the Opti there are a few other things you...

    Find my 63 SWC

    GoodLuck Greetings and welcome to the CAC. From what you have told us this far here is what I can figure. There were 3,475 Daytona Blue Corvettes in 1963. There were 2,610 Corvettes with the FI option produced. If you remember any other options that could help to narrow it down even more. Such...

    Brake Questions

    YuP, those are the rivets. Just take your time and don't chew through too many bits. I would recommend a drill that plugs into the wall as opposed to a battery powered one. Just imagine, 25 years on the same rotors... Do you think rotors in the new Corvettes will last that long? I replaced...

    Brake Questions

    Yup, if they are the original rotors you have to drill them out. A PIA but it can be done. It does not sound like it is your booster that is wrong, but its hard to say. A way to check would be to have one person hit the brake pedal and another person at the booster listening and feeling for...

    Brake Questions

    Or Booster? While the Master Cylinder could be the culprit, I would also question the Power Booster. I originally thought I had a MC issue until I noticed that I was blowing air out between the Power Booster and the MC. This told me I had a hole in my diaphragm. Again, this is a fun DIY...

    Gms Now On Vettes Or 5000 Off 05's

    Bob McDorman does have a rather large lot of Corvettes right now. Seems like everday I drive by they get more and more. I'm not sure if Mr. McDorman was planning on putting all those Corvettes in the new showroom building, but I have a feeling they won't all fit.

    Smoking from 1 side only..What is it?

    I need a quick reminder. Do you have true dual exhaust or is it still stock where the exhaust manifold goes into a single Cat and then out to two mufflers? If you do have duals do they connect at any point to each other or are they true duals where each muffler is only carrying four cylinders?

    Stupid GM badges stick up a good car!

    Of course... they coud always just create a car by GM Not give it any of the Chevy, Pontiac, GMC, or any other badging... just GM. There are also these two pictures I have found of the Corvette with the badging. Not really noticible. I'll have to see it in person.

    Stupid GM badges stick up a good car!

    I believe it is going to look something like this from what I have found. This is the new Pontiac Solstice That is all I can find for now.

    Anyone care to guess what's in the crate. ?

    My question is... how do you balance the rear end of that car? With that big ole' 572 in the front and that empty fuel tank in the rear;LOL.

    Anyone care to guess what's in the crate. ?

    Does it make loud sounds? My ears can't handle SPL's at high levels;troll. Or is it one of those new fangled motors that run on peanut oil? Oh please hurry up and open that crate... I want to see :eek and hear it rumble.

    The Love of the Corvette vs. The Pain In the Wallet at Fuel Up

    700r4 Would anyone happen to have an extra 700R4 sitting around that I could replace my turbo 350 3-speed automatic with? That overdrive sure would be nice for those highway cruises. As far as usage... I've actually been driving the 76 a lot more then I have all summer. My truck is currently...

    Callaway Porsche 944?!?

    1978 Pace Car with 12 Miles! on eBay..

    I don't know wether to :cry or :L or just be :confused. I thought Corvettes were meant to be driven. I guess some people feel they are pieces of art work to be put away and not seen like so many pieces of other art. Oh well.. to each their own.
