Mark, sure, just give out my tech article links to just anyone why don't you? trying to increase my bandwidth usage and cost me money?? ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL Sincro here is a link to my Tech Articles page if you require other info as you work on your car...

Mark, between here and the other places can you get any more crap for complaining about the loudness of your pipes? and you ran sound for live concerts yet............. :L:L:L:L

thank Larry :) I'm trying. In fact I just got 6 or so more very good tech articles I need to add up to the page. The real credit goes to all the authors of the articles who let me post them up for everyones benefit. Hope to see you in Carlisle again this year, if i can make it there. This...

this is from a previous post by JohnZ: I've fixed this rattle/buzz on several 65's. Unscrew the ball and pull off the spring and T-handle, and you'll see a plastic sleeve; put a couple of wraps of electrical tape on the sleeve and trial-fit the T-handle barrel over it until you get a...

Hi Larry Here is a chart I have on my website Tech Articles page: http://lbfun.com/Corvette/Tech/vettetech_files/Paint%20Conversion%20Chart.pdf scroll down to the 1957 year. Now, I believe this is still going to give you a bit of an issue to get a correct and accurate color match since these...

yeah, that's not too bad, I've thought about something along those lines of using different pics or icons to represent different areas of the car as topics, just not sure how I want it to look and be laid out. Oh well, one of these days i'll work on it and re-do it. Right now I have other...

thanks Mark, I appreciate it. I haven't made any updates to the entire site, except for the tech articles page for quite a long time now, I've gotten lazy and most of the time I can spare to spend playing with a website usually gets taken up now by our Corvette Club's website. I do try to keep...

here is the link to the Tech Articles page on my website. hope some of the articles help you out. http://lbfun.com/Corvette/Tech/vettetech.html

I have no problem running 93 unleaded in either my '65 or my '78. I use no extra additives.

my stock '65 L76 365hp has a higher compression than your 300hp (11.0:1 vs 10.5:1) and I run 93 hi-test with no knocking/pinging. total timing is set at 36º all in by 3,000rpm. you should be able to run that also. You might be able to run 89 or 91 octane without detonation depending on your...

yep, IF the tank sticker is still there and IF it's still readable. If so, I'd take some very good pics of it first before you attempt to remove it. it's glued there and most likely will rip if you try to take it off

anyone care to tell me who is advising and what their reason's were for NOT connecting directly to the battery for either power or ground?? All I can say is that this should make for a very entertaining explanation. I used to do car audio for a living and besides normal, everyday type systems...

Hi Bob! long time since I've seen any posts from you. Hope all is well. The car is looking great. I always liked the Goodwood Green color, my buddy had a '65 'vert in that color. The 572 looks and sounds awesome. That car is going to have some serious power and the BG tri setup looks sexy...

yep, 200º is not hot at all although 240º is getting pretty hot. The factory t-stat is a 195º unit so it's always going to run AT LEAST 195º-200º minimum, period. This is for emissions reasons - it's needs the higher temps to help burn off excess HC. does it run over 220 or so all the time or...

I agree. it's a C3 and the battery is right there in the back anyway so go straight to the battery. You should be going straight to the battery for the 12v+ anyway so just make the run with two cables - one for power constant and one for ground. Make sure you use the same gauge cable for ground...

dod you repack it with gauze, cotton, or any other type of absorbent material first to hold the oil?

well, if you plan on starting it AND driving it I'd replace ALL the fluids including drasining and replacing the gas, coolant, brake fluid, and engine oil. Replace the fuel filter and oil filter. BTW, since that coolant has been in the motor for AT LEAST 10 years (who knows how many years it was...

for the Tach drive you can use any high quality grease to lubricate the gears. what are you doing about packing and lubricating the upper oil well (cavity surrounding the upper bearing)? One way to do it is to repack the upper oil well with a folded 3”x 3” piece of gauze. Saturate the packing...

Mikey is correct that #1 can be anyway as long as you set it up correctly but if you are going to switch back to your original points type distributor than here is the factory "normal" indexing positions The first pic is not from a corvette but the indexing is the same: This is a diagram...

i use cut pieces of old carpet on the jack stands as "pads" to keep from scratching the frames on my cars. once you get the car up on stands it will be much easier to see the shim packs although even easier of course with the wheels off. Hope it's only the shims as thats only the expense of new...
