You stated that "you should see 20-30 psi at idle, and 40-50 psi on the highway" well after putting in my new oil pump about 6 months ago I now have about 80 psi of oil at speed and it drops down to about 35 to 45 at idle when the car is warm. What if any kind of problems will this cause me...

My 76 tack just quite also its at zero, since I had the distrubitor replaced recently I am going to start there but I suspect its the board as it was working fine for weeks after the replace ment. I will let yuou know what I find out.

Well I can't seem to find my issue of Corvette Magazine that has the C3 Market Report in it. I will keep looking.

I tried putting that heat shield blanker on the with out taking the starter off the car and was not succesful. I had the same the same problem then I discovered a exhust leak right the starter when I fixed that it solved my problems. I would just replace the started and put the heat shield on...

As far as I know there was not real wood from the factory, my center console is metal painted black, I believe some came with a wood finish but I believe they are all made out of metal.

You don't have to pull the engine to change the oil pump if you decide that's what the problem is just remove the oil pan and you can change it out. I think its harded to change the gage have to remove that center consol unit.

Rebuilt the orginal, I had mine done a couple months ago its is great.

I would not take anything less that 12,000 and would think that 12,000 to 14,000 would be fair for the condition you say it is in. Thats on the high end for the mid-year C3s in my option I have a magazine that just published the market survey info for C3, I will look and see if I still have the...

Rear seal, old one was leaking, new one is leaking, must have messed up the installation. I have lots of leaks and it seems everything I fix does not stop all the leaks. Wish I had a lift!!!

Great thoughts and I understant what everyone is saying, I was not planning on buying the car as an investement it would be a car to enjoy and drive right now but it would not be my daily driver I have other cars for that. The point of desirable vs rare is well noted. I guess in the end I will...

I plan to keep a eye on it and see if its getting hot I need new lens anyway so I am going to see what happens but i just discovered that the right brake light does not work so now I have to troubleshoot that. Thanks

I did another temp check on the halogen blubs with them installed. After about 15 minutes with the tail lights on the temp on the outside of the lens was 120 for the halogen and 97 for the standard blub. It was hotter but I think with the airflow around the lens when the car is moving it won't...

Yes but they should come with the cylinder.

If you have any problems you can email me paulandbecky@cox.net and I might be able to help.

I do plan on keeping the C3, a 1976 and thanks on the advice to wait and look at 08's. I don't to many details about the "special edition" car I was just talking to a sales person online and he said he had a "special editioin" I suspect it just like you said, its a special edition that a dealer...

Some more info on LED's LED brake/tail lamps will not flash with thermal flasher units due to their extremely low current draw. These installations will require an electronic flasher unit, available in our car bulb shopping category (for some vehicles) or at your auto parts store. Try to find...

OK did a little test, left side with the halogen blub and right with standard 1157. I was using a multimete with thermo option. After about 10 minutes the 1157 hotest spot was in the range of 250 degrees and the halogen was between 390 and 415 degrees. The only good news is the halogen is...

Well I dont have a light there so I guess not wiring either could be a future project.

I just discovered that a lot of 76 models came with the UF1Map Light Does any one know where this would be located, I would love to see if I have one?

OK here's the deal I am proud C3 owner but am thinking about a new 07. Us old car guys are always talking about things like, they this car is special its 1 of 100 built with this option or this color or this eng tranny combo. So with that in mind what would a person want in an 07 if they were...
