My EB isn't working. That is on the list. It won't pull up.

I am trying to locate a good Crovette mechanic in the SE Minn / SW Wisc area. I would like an expert to have a listen to it. Anyone have someone they could recommend?

So, bottom line, in your opinion, is to go with the K&N?

Makes sense.

When I took it to the drag strip last summer, I got much lower times when I removed the air cleaner. So I was thinking that the "open" K&N might be the ticket. Then I noticed that the factory "ram air", if you can call it that, was missing on mine. I wonder what effect it would have to buy the...

I am still having a 'clunking' sound coming from the back of the Vette. When I first got it, the sound was there all the time. I replaced the rear calipers (less than 1,000 miles ago) and it went away. Now, it comes back, but only after I have been driving for a while. Maybe an hour or more...

I did some searching and found a lot of discussion. I didn't find too many about C3s, but a lot none the less. Evidently the jury is still out.

My 78 (L48) has the air cleaner but does not have the tube and nozzle at the radiator. Which do you think is the better way to go? 1. Buy a new hose and radiator funnel 2. Buy a new K&N set up which has the open sides. I am looking for a little more oomph to my acceleration.

And... <gasp>... a trunk

It's a 64 Galxie 500 XL. Bucket seats, 390. A real 'lead sled'. Wife's uncle has been sitting on it. Pretty cherry shape. And, it has a back seat for the grandkids :-)

BTW... it is NOT a apce car. It is an SA model with the L-48 Automatic. Turned 15.3 at the strip.

It looks like I may be getting rid of my '78. The car that I wanted to buy , before the Vette, is back on the market. I need your estemmed opinion on a couple things. 1. Price - I paid $9500 for it last Spring. It has 66,000 miles on it. It pulled to the right when I got it. I figured it...

I just had Flynn's in LaCrosse, WI do mine. They did an excellent job. The frames were really bent up. They straightened and reinforced them. Cost $1100.00, but they had a lot of welding to do.

I wish I could find someone in SE Minnesota like that.

That sounds like an easy enought fix. I will do that first and report back.

There is no "pulsation" per se. Not like a warped rotor or ABS. It's more of a 'sound' of something binding. Once I get rolling it goes away, just like a sticky caliper finally breaking loose. Maybe I need to change the front calipers. The noise sounds like it comes from the back, but that can...

Actually, I can feel it start "grabbing" when I start stopping. I know, then, that I will get the sensation when I leave. Straight or not has not bearing on it.

It's like it grabs and then releases and then grabs. I envision a wet brake pad sticking to the rotor.

That's an interesting thought. I replaced the steel lines when I replaced the calipers. I didn't replace the rubber lines, though. Hmmm....

I wish I knew of a good Vette mechanic within shouting distance of SE Minnesota. Looks like I might have to take it up to the Chevy dealer and hope the vo-tech mechanic can read the assembly manual. Sorry, that was mean. The local dealership did spend the last year doing a frame-off resto of a...
