Thanks to both replys. I have not had the steering control valve rebuilt or gotten a new one as far as I can tell its the orginal. All the tie rod's look good and I can't see a lot of play, I will keep checking it out. I will let you know but I am leaning torward a rebuilt control valve before...

I am looking at my steering and have some thoughts. The car drives good but the steering has some play in it, not enought to really worry about, but not what you would think is right for a corvette. So what do I do I think I have it down to two choices one get a new steering box and rag...

I am going to get 4 of these still looking for a good jack Sams Club has one called a Black Max but I don't the the spec's right now. What do you recommend?

Great and thanks for all the advice, I am going to get a new floor jack and stands, there is lots of stuff I want to do under the car but with my current equipement I can only get the car 12 inches or so off the floor sounds like with the right jacks I can get it another 6 inches or so and that...

Great but I have a C3, is there a single lift point for the rear of a C3?

One more thing I have been thinking about is a portable sissors jack, what do you think of them? It would seem like they are great for tires brakes and stuff but is there enough room around the jack to work on other parts of the car?

Now that sounds like a plan, I have the ramps but did use them like that, I will start. Is there a single point to jack the rear of the car up after you get the front up on the stands?

This got me thinking, I currently have the smaller jack stands, I use lots of them but they are all the smaller 3 ton. I don't think my floor jack will jack the car up high enough for the bigger 12 ton stands, what kind of floor jack should I have and is there any issue's with "bending" the car...

Why not Mikey we hear the whole story all over again already. ;LOL

Well , all I can say is I am glad this came up again this discussion about these wheels is one of the most interesting here. yj8 have you ever had a reading from the NCRS folks about your wheels? I have the stock rallye wheels on my 76.

Here is mine

I like the idea of a shut off valve can someone give me more details? I assume the valve goes in the eng compartment, does it matter which one of the hoses I put the valve in. I am going to replace both hoses so now would be a good time. Does the valve have to be metal or can I put a plastic...

Hey Crutis just checking on old threads, did anything ever come of this?

Not sure about a lot of the stuff you asked but if you are talking about the seat covers that have elestic in the bottom and strech over the seat bottom I know what you mean about coming off. What I did was put small plastic clamps, that are used to hook bungie cords to, on the front and back...

On my 76 its a dash removal which is not hard but you have to remove lots of stuff and the potential is there to mess up something else. Its also possible to break on of the dash pieces when removing them such as the dash pad, its a real tight fit getting it in and out. I am just saving up a...

Brian, thanks and yes I did paint the intake and no I did not clean off the pain where the filter bolts I will do that first and see what happens. Thanks for the input.

I just had a flash and wanted some inputs. After reading all these posts about the tach filter it got me thinking. Here is the situation, I replaced my distrubtor and tach filter when I removed my intake manifold a month ago, go it all back together and everthing worked fine but after about 3...

Sounds like the tach filter on my car but with out a pic can't be 100%.

Not sure how you could tell its a "76" just from that pic but you are right on :beermy 76 looks exactly like that and I have some issues with rubbing on the mount but if everything is installed correctly it does not rub.

I am looking for the Tach Filter that bolts to the intake mainfold right by the distrubitor. Let me know. paulandbecky@cox.net Thanks
