LS6 & LS5 Engines I was referring to LS6 & LS5 engines in C3s, by the way...

Is there any obvious difference in appearance between the LS6 and LS5 engines? How can I tell when I am looking at one if it is for sure a LS6 if the numbers don't match? Do they both have square ports? Thanks!

My bud wants to know if anyone has had any experience with hoods as far as good brands vs. bad brands. He got one but returned it due to poor quality. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have an automatic '81 which was parked 10 years. The tranny works fine presently, but leaks. The leakage keeps me from autocrossing, so I want to repair/replace it. Please share what all you '81 owners have done with your trannys and how your tranny is better now. Half my "advisors" are...

Back Window Trim Thanks Tom. Back to the store for my 3rd attempt at getting the right products for the job! I should have begun this project by posting my questions here first. I have the trim off the car and have it stripped of paint. Looks like it will be a fairly long project! At least...

Self Etching Primer for Back Window Trim? Has anyone found this stuff to use directly on the aluminum trim prior to the primer and satin paint??? IF so, please enlighten me with where to find it. I was told that hot rod black primer won't stick to my aluminum and to put the self etching...

I got my exterior window trim popped off, stripped, and now am ready to repaint it and put it back. But before I do that, it IS supposed to be black, not chrome, right??? And the black shoud be satin black, yes? Thanks! Lanelle

Quick Service! Hey, I'm impressed! My shirt already arrived! That is speedy service! If only I could get my mechanic to work that fast! Thanks, Lanelle

Matching Numbers Thanks for the answers! I will have to see what I find under my hood.... Lanelle

Can someone please tell me what is meant by the term "matching number car"? I keep reading that on the list postings, but am not clear as to what that means exactly... Am I missing out on something important??? It must have something to do with the VIN I guess.... Thanks, Lanelle

When I used to be on this site, member's names were listed if they were on the same time I was. With the recent changes, I can't seem to find that option. I know there is a buddy list, but I like the other way too. Does it still exist? Thanks, Lanelle

Spastic Wipers Brroks, Just checked to see where you live and discovered you live close to me! Guess we should count our blessings that we don't live in Seattle where it rains for days! Lanelle

Klutzy Wipers Brooks, Mine is an '81. I recently replaced the metal part of the blade and probably should have just replaced the rubber part. Twenty years is a long time not to drive in the rain! LOL! Have you tried adjusting them like Silver suggested? Lanelle

Wiper Problem Thanks Silver! If it ever stops raining, I'll go out and try to adjust one side. AThey were wiping fine, then all of a sudden they got stuck--on 2 different days! It was pretty funny when it happened. Things like this tend to happen to me.... As the song goes, "Born under a...

Awhile back there was talk about getting tee shirts made and sold for C.A.C. Whatever became of that idea? Thanks, Lanelle

Twice in the last week, in the rain, my windshield wiper blades have gotten stuck on each other in the middle of my windshield! Has this happened to anyone else? I am thinking I should have replaced the rubber blade and not the whole wiper, but it is too late now. Any suggestions??? Thanks...

CUSTOM PLATE IDEAS! Here are some ideas I checked into with DMV here in California for my '81. I teach in a juvenile correctional facility and had help from taggers. Where I would have the symbol of a heart or star, I just put (heart) or (star). H(heart)TVETT = hot vett VETDRMZ = vette...

Silver Singing Away! Well from now on, if I pull up behind another '81 and hear a voice singing away, I will know it's you and honk my horn! ha! Lanelle

I wish I could describe what the stuff on my rims are. It is like dried sticky gum or tar or something and each rim is covered with freckles of it. It would probably clog a buffer real quick, and I have to get it off before I can polish them. I guess I'm stuck with stripping them, yes? I...

Bud, Actually your directions were very clear! I will try it the next "dry" day we have here. Glad you have one so you know exactly what I am talking about! How long have you had yours? Guess I am trying to figure out what my chances are of NOT having it crack. Do you leave yours in...
