L48, your comment sparked a re-collection about being suprised at reading John Lingenfelters comments about the humble Q - Jet in a book I have. Checked my book, and L48 your right, quote:" As a plus, few realize that the Chevy Q-Jets are rated at 750cfm" Page 118 Title...

Hey Zgator Ive got those bubble lights on mine (see attached) and yes reversing at night was a pain. :( I got an auto electrician to wire the reversing curcuit form the tranny to the stop lights, so when reversing all the stop lights go on, which allows some night vision. The only other...

Interesting? Attached link for info I passed on, maybe they dont agree with thier own site? ;shrug http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/ Go to RPM and your part number, lowest flow carb recomended, is 750cfm?. Still, it would best to go with whatever they recomend after you email all...

Hey Twin Turbo, I sort of got that it was a joke, hence the answer " it looks to cool!" anyway, The reason I was asking about the flares, is they seem a different shape to the L88 flares Ive seen. L88 flares I have seen sometimes seem more like wings added to the side, very shallow angle to...

Hey Guys Got one for you. How about 16 hours charged, to replace the following on an L81 Intake manifold gaskets Exhaust gaskets Water pump gasket Timing cover gasket Sump gasket Rocker cover gaskets Oh, and the engine......... WAS ALREADY ON AN ENGINE STAND! :hb Needless to say, an...

Hey Ludigdrums Not an expert, but would tackle in order as below 1 Obstructions 2 Electrics 3 Lubrication 4 Drive Cables 5 Motor Gears. Apart from that I'm stumped too! Anyone else? :beer

Hey Stallion You dont mention which brand or part number to check.:confused However assuming this info is not avalible, take the headers to your friendly local exhaust shop who stocks vette headers for an 78', and see if they match. Corvette engine bays are a lot smaller than the trusty...

Hey Fine69 Sounds like your on the right track, the only question I have is the carb, is this big enough? :confused Edelbrock site starts @ 750cfm as recomended size carb for this spec manifold. Best thing would be to email your engine/drivetrain specs, eg. compression, ignition, gearing, and...

Hey Twin Turbo Ummmmmmmm........... It looks to cool? ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL No, I know what it is, you still havent told me where you got those flares?:drool: :beer

Hey L48 Had seen pictures of the early trans cross member with exhausts through the member, and the thought crossed my mind, but havent yet had or seen one in RL. Does anyone else know? Funnily enough, my L81 assembly manual has this type of cross member (early one) shown on the fuel line...

Hey Smooth-rider I have a 700R4 in my L81, and its great. Quick off the mark at the lights (though step between gears 1 & 2 is large) When on the highway, the engine noise levels that are reduced (compared to other C3's I driven) as well as the mileage increased. I had to change to a 2500 rpm...

Hey Wood88335th Just an idea, have you checked the rear alignment (sorry if this is obvious, as dont know how long youve had the car). Reason for suggestion, when I landed my L81 it would do spectacular sideways action with moderate application of the loud peddle. Although this was fun, it...

Hey Offbeat Octane, I hate to see/hear this type of thread, and I feel for you, as some people have no respect for property, no matter what has gone down. Not sure about the price, as on otherside of the world. But I sure could suggest a few ideas to you, on how to deal with that other...

Hey Barry Not an expert, but looked through wiring diagram in L81 assembly manual and there are only two other places that there are GM connectors (read issues ;LOL). The logical place to start would be those usless connectors behind the door lock switch, honestly these type of fittings look...

Cheers Stefan :beer

Thanks L48, every 0.2 cents helps. At present I have 155mm (just a tad over 6") clear under the lowest part of the car, not including exhaust. Front spoiler about 115mm (4.5"). In NZ, 100mm (4") is legal minimum standard to the vechicle structure (therefore spoiler not included), hence the idea...

Hey Chris Heres the link to the L81 Registry with all the RPO's for L81's. http://www.l81vetteregistry.com/index.html Hope this is of some help :beer

Has anyone seen these dropped spindles? Any comments, thoughts, opinions would be helpful. :beer

When good leads go bad.....C3 Vette Replica Hey All During my fabulous welcome to CAC, the general discussions evolved to include my mention (:duh opening ones mouth before brain engaged.... again) of C3 Vette & Transam replicas made here in Christchurch NZ, by a gentleman called Tom Morland...

Hey There All Just a question, my 81 sits very high, about 2 - 2.5" from tire to wheel arch (255/60/15 BFG). See photo @ L81 Registry: Photo 57 of the 58. A bit 4x4 for my liking :puke. I know that with longer composite spring hanger bolts I can lower the rear, in fact I can make this...
