price might not hurt either.

actually as i mentioned in my first post, wilcox is selling a complete set of 4 pace car wheels for under 800.00 currently. you might want to check with them to be certain in your own mind, and weigh that against you time and $$ to restore the ones you have. obviously, they are originals that...

it would really all depend on exactly how much $$$ you want to invest to get the extra HP. when it is all said and done (unless you are doing all the work yourself), you might want to explore pulling the original engine and going with a crate replacement. if that doesn't appeal to you, the best...

mikey many thanks for the prompt reply. steve

thanks for the suggestions. the printed circuit sheet is brand new and has no breaks or cracks and is completely in tact. i am going to dis-assemble the cluster this evening and take a look to insure i placed the resistor on the gauge correctly and make certain there is correct electrical...

if you are really intent on doing it yourself, it will take a bit of time, and a load of patience. i am about to do the same thing over this "winter" (i live in the tropics, so winter really isn't an issue, putting the car up for any time is, lol). the best way to do it is to use wet sandpaper...

on a jack. can someone please tell me the translation of date code 2 F?? the guy who has it claims it from a late 70's C3, but i don't have any reference materials here in the office. thanks

part of the entire restoration of the interior on my pace car includes replacement of the center console gauge cluster. i rebuilt the entire assembly using all new gauges, and a new circuit sheet. i tested it today and everything works fine (even the clock) except the temp gauge which is a...

i've had mine for well over a year, and i love it (used on my 78 pace car). i leave it in the "ramp up" position and park my car on it that way for storage. it was easy to assemble (i did it by myself, although i will suggest having 1 other person to help you. it just makes it a bit easier to...

i guess the fact that they might need additional help for their particular problems couldn't enter into the equation, could it???????????????? lol

i realize that this is going to be contrary to every opiniuon previously expressed, BUT........ today's engine oil composition isn't the same as the oil formula of the "old" days. there is a school of thought (that personally i agree with only because it seems to make sense to me) that modern...

no winter to speak of down in the tropics, but the "cooler weather" project this year is about to begin. the entire interior will be replaced from wall to wall, ceiling to floor so to speak. all trim, seats, dash, carpet, chrome, gauges, etc going out the door to be replaced with brand new...

welcome to CAC. it's one great place to hang around at! loads of support by loads of very knowledgable folks who are more than willing to share. good luck with your new car!

brian, i agree completely. when i replaced the headlight vacuum lines with doc rebuild's complete kit it matched (both color stripping and hose types) perfectly. contrary to what some other's may thiink, the most accurate parts provider consistanly is doctor rebuild. he makes no excuses and...

not sure if the 81 is the same as the 78, but there is a cruise vacuum "harness" you might want to take a look on either doc rebuild's sight, or perhaps even corvette central's site if you don't have an AIM to see the configuration. both of those sites have pretty good diagrams that should get...

i have used wilcox for the parts for the entire replacement of my interior from wall to wall and ceiling to floor. they are the greatest to deal with, knowledgable and pleasant. they supply only the highest quality of product from all the major suppliers. their pricing is second to none as far...

i would suggest that you consider purchasing an NCRS judging document if you are trying to be exact as to the restoration or preservation of your pace car, which it sound like you are trying to accomplish. they will outline everything you would want to know about what the vehicle should look...

i would also suggest you consider wilcox for pre mounted seats. they are most competative pricewise and they supply seating products made by corvette america. for what it's worth, my opinion is that al knoch and corvette america products are the only ones to consider. they are of the highest...

same as the 78, driver's side between 1 and 3. you might be looking at the oil pressure sending unit.

it could be a couple of different things. you should have 2 vacuum relays under the nose, one for each side. could be the one that controls the driver's side (personally, not what i think, but it is possible). check the vacuum hose ends where they join the nipples on the relay and on the...
