i haven't attacked mine yet, so i can't tell you if the case can be opened to repair it, but it needs to be if you are to remove all the bits and pieces of the spline (the nylon tail) that is probably broken up inside it. once that is done, it's usually just a matter of feeding the replacement...

barry sorry for the troubles you're having. it just seems that there is some unwritten rule that whatever you think will go easily into the night, usually turns out to be a pretty bad nightmare. it also must have an footnote that no job is ever what it seems to be and each usually begets at...

assuming you are talking about a 78, i turn about 3200 at around 75mph. and yes, it does take a bit to get used to. you keep waiting for that one last shift (that never comes, lol). steve

bud thanks. one ended, and the other one pulled, LOL!! i would hate to be ebayed, hence the WTB here. the first one is almost retail priced, lol, i would rather buy retail if the price is that close as you can appreciate, i'm sure. too bad the second one was pulled. i checked to see if they were...

if you can get the rear wheels off the ground, take the long cable off the transducer and see if it is spinning when in gear. if not, could be the cable or the speedometer gear being stripped. if it is turning, you might want to disconnect the short cable (from the transducer to the speedometer)...

jim, that's very helpful information! thanks for posting it. steve

i want to buy a mint or near mint sent of mirrored t-tops for a 78 pace car. please indicate price including shipping to 33021 if you can help me out. thanks steve

as i said, please don't ask how i came to suggest that, lol. been there, done that, lol!! had a problem with the car starting sometime and then getting absolutely not response when i turned the key. everything powered up (gauges, etc and the light worked, so i knew there was power), but no...

dawn it's somewhat possible that the manifold is original in that back in the "olden" days, parts were used until they were used up. if GM was long a supply of manifolds during the previous year's production run, the remaining supply (particularly when they didn't change the engine block for...

i may be wrong as my frame of reference is my 78, but there shouldn't be a ground wire on the solenoid. the starter grounds by having it bolted to the engine and the olenoid grounds to the starter. the main engine ground cable should be just above the front of the starter. if you removed the...

don't know when it started, but my 78 functions in exactly the same way. i guess in addition to the obviuous ventilation "advantages", it provided a GM version of "flow through" ventilation that was popularized during the 70's. steve

one of the original leads that make up the plug(s) that go in the original radio should be for the power antenna if so equipped. i'm not certain, but i would think that by 79 all antenna applications were power. there are several harness kits that are available that will adapt the original 12...

there are two obvious ones, and they are both connected to the hot lead (positive battery post) on the starter solenoid. you wouldn't have power to headlights and guages if one of them was blown as one goes directly to the headlight switch and provides unswitched power to the lights, the other...

check ebay. usually at least a few there. i can help, but none of the ones i have are black centered.

i had to rebuild my entire headlight vacuum system, and learned the following the hard way, a bad actuator will do some strange things when you try to troubleshoot the system, lol. that said, i had a "new" actuator fail (internally) after only about 45 days. the boot and the seal were ok (and...

in the ft. lauderdale area check out art's at www.artscorvetteparts.com and www.corvettepartsman.com don't know if either meet your needs, but it's worth checking it out. steve

i stand corrected. i just looked at my owners manual again, and i was confusing the center guages with the speedometer/tach panel. all the bulbs in my manual are 194 for the center cluster regardless of indicator or illuminator. the speedometer/tach panel calls for 192 bulbs.

if you check your owners manual (or assembly manual etc) you will note that the panel calls for 2 different # bulbs (i have no idea why, but on my 78 for instance the clock bulb is different than most of the others). it might have something to do with the gauge position in the cluster (and i...

the capacity isn't as much as you would think it would be. 3 pints or so sounds about right. just don't be fooled and think the plug ON TOP of the gearbox is the fill plug. it should be located on the side of the case. if you make a mistake and fill it from the top, you will wind up with way too...

don't know exactly where in fl you are going, but you also have eckler's in titusville (east coast). if you are making it all the way down into the ft lauderdale area, we have quite a few part suppliers in the area that are worth checking out. let me know if you are planning to make it down that...
