    access to dash bulb

    i'm not certain, but it seems to me that when i was searching for what i needed, several of the vendors had "push in' and "twist" options to order. it wouldn't hurt to email or call one of the vendors (after looking through your owner's manual to determine the bulb number) to check it out. but...

    access to dash bulb

    if you do a google search for 194 LED bulbs (and different combinations of those words) you will find a load of vendors. if you go to ebay and do the same search you will find a load of vendors also. i don't know where you looked and couldn't find anything. they are all over the place on the web.

    Rust-o-movich!

    you might want to check the eastwood web site for some ideas. they there's always the old stand-by naval jelly. when it's all said and done, it just might be easier and less coastly to replace the pipe with new and coat it off the car before it goes on.

    Radio NEW OR REPAIR?

    generally speaking with today's electronics, unless it is under warranty, you shouldn't even bother. the replacement cost (new radio) is probably about the same or perhaps even less than the repair. from your description (clock in the radio), i am assuming it is a replacement radio anyway, not...

    access to dash bulb

    actually, i would suggest that you replace them with the LED bulbs that are available as exact replacements. they burn with virtually NO heat and they are brighter than the stock bulbs. if you go to higher wattage replacements, in my opinion you are asking for all sorts of trouble from the...

    access to dash bulb

    it was a bit of a pain, but i was able to change out a burned out signal indicator bulb by removing the housing bezel and lense, etc of the speedometer/tachometer assembly and pulling it forward out of the dash enough to get my hand behind it. it just took a bit of doing, and it would help if...

    Installing rear calipers need help

    personally, i was referring to someone that specializes in corvette supplies and parts like corvette america, corvette central, dr. rebuild, volunteer vette, etc. there are members here who specialize in high end replacement brake components. do a search and you should find everything you would...

    Alternator wiring without a fuse box

    you might want to check to see if the system requires some type of resistance into the line to get the alternator to charge. seems to me i remember that being necessary (hence the use of a light or gauge in the system which actually serves two purposes. one to be an indicator the other to...

    Installing rear calipers need help

    if your parking brake and associated rear cable is functioning and in good shape, and assuming your rear rotors haven't worn to a dangerously thin thickness, then the caliper changeout (and only the caliper changeout) is a piece of cake. i would say 3-4 tops on a scale of 10. i do however agree...

    Heat Riser Valve on a 79

    that is certainly one solution. the other is that an exact size spacer is available from most of the better parts suppiers. i wouldn't waste the time or $$ if you are planning on replacing the system anyway. if on the other hand, that's just a plan for the future, you might want to do it right...

    needless to say, never had a reply from 2 emails requesting physical inspection and location of this vehicle, not surprising i guess!!

    80 elec sys gurus?

    my 78 has reostate settings. the delay is variable. it works just like the headlight switch dash "dimmer" control. since the reostate seems to be part of the wiper switch, perhaps that is what is faulty. nothing scientific with my reply, just a guess and an opinion.

    holy crap, batman!! scam in progress???

    found this on ebay (listed in every catagory as i was looking in the "78 corvette" search catagory. is this a scam in the making, or what??? i sent an email to ask where the car was located and could it be inspected, should be interesting to see the reply, lol...

    heat barrier??

    i explored this product, but it is awful expensive. they claim it will take 4 gallons to do the interior of a corvette properly, that's just short of $400.00. even dynamat, which i really consider expensive is less and while i appreciate it is a sprayed product, i can't imagine that it is...

    emblem (badge) restoration???

    nobody has used someone they could recommend?? i realize most of the stuff is reproduced (and obviously the easy way out), but there must be some NCRS folks out there that had their originals redone to keep the car correct. inmy case this emblem has never been reproduced, and since there were...

    heat barrier??

    thanks for the info. the price and availability certainly seems to make it pretty much of a no brainer. i appreciate the input.
