That is $250 per wheel.

I found a local shop that will do the job for $250. It is my first time dealing with him. I have heard that he is a good guy. We shall see.

One more item checked off the list :-)

New dist cap, new rotor, new plugs, new plug wires. S-m-o-o-t-h....

From a Nam vet to y'all ==salute!== Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Just heard from the Chevy dealer. He wants, if nothing unusual pops up, at least $850 to do the rear wheels! Yikes! Time to call the local garages. One has already said he doesn't do Vettes. This may be one illustration of the disadvantages of living in a small town.

Was that for one wheel?

I sent them an email. We shall see if anyone responds.

Unfortunately, there is no 'local Corvette club' in my area.

What does the vacumm hose for the heater selector do? What would be the symptons of it 'leaking'?

The only place around here that I can think of is the Chevy dealer. I'm sure that will be cheap.

I went exploring after work today. It definitely has HEI (dummy). I removed the cap. The contacts are worn as is the tip of the rotor. I think it should be replaced. I assume the coil comes with it as one unit? I was fooling around with the choke and started the car. While I was checking the...

OK... I jacked up each rear wheel. The right one had minimal movement. The left one, however, was a diffreent story (I always thought the clunk was coming from the left rear). I grasped it at 12 & 6, and than at 3 & 9. In each case, when I moved the wheel there was significant movement. In fact...

From what I remember about doing exhaust work, it requires torches and other implements of destruction to get to old rusted pieces off. But it saounds like a good time anyway.

Minnesota doesn't have emissions testing anymore. The EPA is causing the fuss.

I live in a relatively small town. I called the local exhaust shop. I was trying to get an estimate of the charges for them to put on "true" dual exhaust, after I get some headers, and not include the cats. Their answer; "Ain't gonna happen. $10,000 fine." They said the exhaust has to be 'bone...

I will check them out after work tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions. I decided not to sell it (and buy a 64 Galaxie 500 XL). So now I have to get it back to 'smooth'.

:duh I guess I can scratch that "upgrade" off my list. However, it has started running 'rough' lately. Maybe the HEI needs to be looked at.

I willl have to go take a look. I willfeel pretty stupid if it does..

The car is sounding like it needs a tune up. I am thinking that this may be the time to switch over from points to electronic ignition. Are there any recommendations for a 78 L48? I assume it is a job that a shade tree mechanic can do.
