Yes it is unfortunate, and unnecessary.

I don't know for sure if I had the FE-7 option, and I'm not sure with out looking it up if it was available in 77, but that being said, I doubt it. There is nothing "lower than usual" looking about it, and it's a base L48. The previous owner rebuilt the front end, and put a composite spring on...

Yes, the potential of rubbing crossed my mind. I like the looks of the wider tire. It doesn't sound like much, but it is visible.

I am eventually going to replace my tires, maybe next spring. Anyway I have 225/70/15's on the rims now. Will 255/60/15's work, or fit on a 77, and will the speedo read the same with out replacing the driven gear if I made the switch?

As I wrote in my previous post, when I took the thermostat out- the temp didn't go up. When I put the thermostat back in, it overheated (I shut it down before it got past 225*). There was air interfering with coolant flow. Where it was exactly? I have no way of knowing, but it was there...

TBTR, I had a problem when I replaced my intake gasket on my 92 Camaro. It had an air pocket big time. The thermostat wouldn't open at all. I removed the thermostat, and it didn't overheat. When I put it back in it overheated. I had a mechanic use a suction device to suck the air pocket...

Unless you have a roller engine, you need an oil with at least 1200 ppm of zddp. This is why I use Rotella. Just being synthetic will not stop cam lobe wear. You should use oil with enough zddp, or use an additive to bring zddp levels up.

I now recommend the Oval Beach to friends. It's become a family, and family friendly beach. All the dunes is now state park, state owned. No more monkey business. Some things do change for the good.

We've probably driven past each other. I live between Holland, and Saugatuck. About 35 minutes from GR. The pic was taken at Oval Beach.

South western lower MI. On a cool clear night, I can hear Lake Michigan after a windy day. and you dougelam? (Lake Michigan is in the background of my car)

This about says it all where I live, although are several roads that the speed limit is just to high. The current speed limit was set 30 to 50 years ago when there was less traffic, less driveways, etc. When I drive below the speed limit I get tailgated, and when I go the speed limit, I have...

TBTR, you mentioned in one of your other threads that you drive in very dusty conditions. Maybe you do have a dust problem, but I've never heard of this. It sounds to me like you have a bad connection, and the warming up causes the connection to reconnect. You also mentioned that you use your...

Developing cracks on the tire sidewall depends on the quality of the tire, exposure to ozone, where you store it. I am probably missing other variables, But if you believe your tires are unsafe due to their age, or tread wear, then you should replace them. I know tires are expensive, but...

Well, I have Firestone Fire Hawk Indy 500-225/70/15. They are old, but the sidewalls are still good, and for the most part, so is the tread. I moved the fronts to the back because when I bought the car, it was sooo out of alignment, that the inner tread on the fronts were badly warn. Now as...

Yeah, but not quite all the way gone. Mine's a 77, but it's old school. Close as I can get right now.

I have an update here.. I found an unopened can of dupli color truck bumper paint I have had for over a decade, and it seems to be spot on. I tried using a q tip, but it's not the best for this application. I have an old high lighter I am leaving the lid off to dry it out, then I'll try using...

Do you know what color it's called? Maybe a color code?

Real Corvette men don't go to Hobby Lobby! (just kidding). Maybe this weekend I'll check it out. Are you talking about a pen, or a felt tip?

After reading your post, I looked it up. I would rather buy one locally than on Amazon, so who would carry one of these? Thanks for the suggestion by the way.

I would like to touch up the silver edge of the center console, but I don't know what to use for it. It looks like silver or chrome paint color, but I want the right color. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
