if you are talking about local shows, i don't really think it will matter much. most of the ones in my area go on appearence and cleanliness. if you are talking some stuck up, corvettes only, high grade, NCRS type event, then you need to be prepared to be as original as possible, right down to...

he's the url if you need it: www.redlineg.com i think the owner is a man named john. nice folks to deal with from my point of view. hope they can help you out. steve

i bought all the components for a true 2 1/2 true dual exhaust from corvette central and installed it myself. it took about 45 minutes to get the old system off (a cutting wheel or recip saw comes in real handy, lol!!). the parts fit perfectly and it took me about 2 1/2 hours to install a true...

you might try redline gauge co. they are a great source of restored and rebuilt original corvette gauges. i'm sure they have the resistors also. i don't have the url with me right now, but you can probably get it with a google search. if i remember correctly they are in either tennessee or...

not to be contrary, but when i had a vacuum leak (initially it was a bad actuator seal, then it became a bad actuator itself. of course it wasn't the one i fixed the seal on, lol), my headlights wouldn't work at all. i could get the driver's side to work (both up and down) if i manually locked...

i put an optima yellow top (deep cycle) in my 78 a year ago and it's been great. i only get to use the car on the weekends, and it is always attached to a computerized battery tender when not being driven. worth the money in my opinion, and i agree in a league of their own. for what it's worth...

could also be the switch adjustment. if you remember when the column was out, there is a lot of room to adjust the switch so that the rod actuates it. if you get power on the purple (neutral lockout switch lead) with the key turned to the "starter position", you have a problem between there and...

i have one of these: www.quiklift.com and it's portable (to a point of course, lol). nothing permanent and you can park on it in the ramped position if you wish (i park my 78 on it in the garage at all times). it is lifted by a good hydraulic jack, so your investment is minimal and you can take...

no there isn't anything connected to the other solenoid terminal. after tracing the wiring from the solenoid outward, i discovered a bad connector in the harness that contained the 2 hot leads (fusable link lines) to the main electrical system. what must have happened was that while...

without a doubt electrical problems are the most frustrating. since there is power to the hot terminal on the solenoid, jumping it to the "s" terminal will activate the starter motor, however, there is no power anywhere else. i have begun tracing wires, and i'm certain that something between...

bob, thanks. i have the same wiring diagram for the 78 and that's what it shows also. i was hoping that there was some sort of "master" fusable link that i might have blown that would basically render the electrical system "ddead" in appearance. i have power from the battery to the solenoid and...

bob, i haven't done anything at the fuse box what so ever. according to the wiring diagram i have, there are only 2 fusable links and they are both located at the solenoid. i appreciate your suggestion. is the link on the firewall (engine) side, or on the interior side of the fusebox?? is it...

gerry the fusable links were tested last evening and they both seem to be ok. there is power on both sides of the links themselves, so they haven't been blown. i will check the fuse as you suggested, but i did check the fuse box and nothing seemed to be blown. i will definitely take a much...

barry, the following exists: 1. battery connections tight and correct 2. as tested with a meter, power at the solenoid "hot" terminal post 3. engine ground cable (brand new) connected, tight, and producing a good ground 4. 2 fusable link leads connected to the "hot" solenoid terminal as...

anyone help, please??? i know there are folks here who know the electrical system inside and out and can at least provide me with some direction. please??

thanks, but no, all hot wires (the main battery cable and the 2 fusable link leads) are on the solenoid hot post. the appropriate starter switch/neutral switch lead is on the "s" terminal of the solenoid. those are the only connections to the solenoid on the 78 (and probably more years). those...

what transpired: i was having a bit of of a problem with consistant power from the solenoid to the starter, so i decided to replace the solenoid. the symptoms were that the key wouldn't always activate the starter even though there was power to the solenoid through the starter switch and the...

unfortunately over time, the lock cylinder and the key wears and they start to become a "mismatch". you might want to try to a bit of graphite powder (it is a very fine compound in a squeeze tube that sprays the graphite through a pointed nozzle. it is a lock "lubricant" that might help for a...

that's the second time in the last couple of months that it has been offered in ebay auctions. i seem to remember the "location" listed by the seller and the details of the car from the last time i looked at the auction listing. it was around the beginning of december or so. i don't remember if...

vettethunder i would certainly be intersted in the actuators if you are selling them. please email me with details (like cost and shipping, etc) : srs244@gmail.com if you are seriously thingking of selling them. it would certainly help me out of they are working originals. steve
