    Does anyone make legal VIN plate replacements?

    i think you will find yout search to be impossible. years ago, you could get just about anything, but thanks to ouir times, even trying to get a title for an old car is just about impossible thanks to the concerted efforts of law enforcement regarding stolen or chopped vehicles. vin plates and...

    Headlight and wiper door vacuum to electric conversion

    i replaced the entire system on my 78, both actuators, all the lines, the headlight switch, regulators, check valve, filter. the only thing i kept was the over ride switch, lol. here are the costs, i'm sure if you look around you can probably get some of it a bit better and some of it a bit more...

    Headlight and wiper door vacuum to electric conversion

    it seems to me that there was a post her a while ago by someone who had done it along with a kind of step by step as to what it took. do a search here. perhaps it may turn up something of value

    parting out 76 four speed

    i might be interested in the entire 4 speed set up (trans, bellhousing, clutch, pedal assembly, etc, etc) everything that would be necessary to put a 4 speed into a existing car. thanks for taking the time to figure it out. steve

    wierd ignition problem..help please

    just a follow up:: power through the ignition switch to the neutral lockout (auto trans) and back out through the neutral lockout switch (yellow to purple into the switch shows 11.53 volts when the key is turned to the starter position. purple stripped wire out of switch shows the same 11.53...

    Sharks at Barrett Jackson!!!

    i have been saying the same thing for the past couple of years. the problem as i see it is that they continue to foster these ridiculous prices by re-inflating the value of cars that were overpriced when they sold them several years ago by reselling them this year, lol!! it really points out how...

    wierd ignition problem..help please

    i guess i could understand it if it behaved as yours did, however what mine does is works perfectly when i first try to start it. let off the key and try again (since it takes a bit to start after sitting a few days) and it will work again about 50% of the time. if i have to try a third time (or...

    wierd ignition problem..help please

    goertz that was my original thought, but i figured since it wasn't a constant, that it had to probably be something else causing the erratic behavior. there is no "clicking" when it fails to turn the starter over, it is totally "dead" to the starter. as i mentioned there is definitely power...

    Willcox Parts Store - Anyone?

    i have bought from wilcox many time in the not to distant past. they sell top quality products and their customer support is second to none in my opinion. if you "shop" for prices, i don't think they can be beaten on any of their "package" type deals (most of theior packages are for interior...

    wierd ignition problem..help please

    rodsnrides thanks for the clarification. i always thought that the rod that runs through the column had more to do with the steering wheel lock. i appreciate all the help and the followup to my secondary questions. steve

    Stolen Corvette

    funny that you picked that subject as our local news just covered a story of a guy originally from ny city that had his 68 corvette convert stolen in 1969. a very alert customs agent on the docks in california noticed a container that didn't look just right and was going to sweden (i believe)...

    wierd ignition problem..help please

    at the risk of sounding a lot dumber than i really am, exactly where is the "s" switch that you are referring to?? i assume that john is referring to the lead from the bottom of the column to the starter solenoid (purple wire), but i am not familiar with the "s" switch unless you are referring...

    Engine Paint

    it might be easier to just soak them for a bit in lacquer thinner or regular rubbing alcohol (lots cheaper to use). it will clean all the oil and grease off of the parts and should prepare them to be painted. it will penetrate the pores of the piece and clean completely. it's a lot easier in my...

    wierd ignition problem..help please

    on my 78 pace car...i have this unusual problem and wonder if someone could help me out (or has experienced the same at one point and can provide an answer). my car is a weekend cruiser. as such, it doesn't start with the first turn of the key usually. when i turn the key, the engine cranks...

    Storing '78 for winter

    just another opinion from the deep south. i wouldn't store my generator or my lawn mower for more than 60 days without a fuel stabilizer. while i certainly don't claim to be an expert on fuel oils or gasoline, i have always read that gas will start to deteriorate within 60 days of filling. while...

    79 Corvette, Signal arm and switch

    the column definitely needs to be disassembled to replace the lever. the key, however is to make certain to attach a thin wire or a piece of high strength twine to the cruise control wire harness that you will pull back up through the bottom of the column when you remove the lever. if you don't...

    Dim Drivers side Headlights

    i would also consider a can of contract cleaner spray from radio shack and clean the wire plug that attaches to the bulb terminals. as previously noted moisture can get into the wire plug and you may just not be getting a good connection to the back of the bulb. it's easy enough to check with a...
