yep, noticed the same thing John. I guess CAC needed more advertising revenue.

wow, that thread brought back memories......... ;LOL Yes, at the time replacing the rear bearings solved the problem. Another issue that did crop up anther time that caused very similar symptoms (and was suggested within that thread as an area to look at) would be the shim pack on the...

on SB motors it was only put on the SHP motors such as the 350hp and 365hp motors. base 250hp, and 300hp motors didn't have them The by-pass hose is to eliminate water pump cavitation at high rpm. (SHP motors have higher redlines) all SB engines already have a bypass circuit through the...

Vette79, as already suggested use a vavuum gauge (or even just your finger) to identify which is ported and which is full manifold vacuum source connection on your carb. IF, your stock vacuum advance connection is ported (I say IF because after '75 and the inclusion of the cat converter on the...

the L82 aluminum intakes were painted silver at the factory. Whewn I was re-doing my engine bay I painted mine with Eastwoods Alumablast paint. Came out nice. http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=248&itemType=PRODUCT this was before cleaning after taking it off the car: this was after...

I second this! We have two jump boxes at work since we end up with dead batteries in cars it seems almost daily. One jump box ALWAYS works and gets the cars started. The second one is newer but was much cheaper and has less cranking amps and at least half of the time it's not enough to get get...

Larry I have the Nov.'07 issue and would be happy to scan the article for you if you would like. Just email or PM me if you need it and also include your email address if you want me to scan it and send it to you Barry

I agree with the advice given already - stick with the stock HEI unit as it's a good distributor. Just make sure the cap, rotor, and coil are all good as Hib has mentioned. Check to see when the timing all comes in by and you might have to change out the springs to adjust it so that it gives you...

I've had the radiator and core support out of my '78 AC car four times fixing up the car than tracking down rad. leaks so at this point I can do it in my sleep. If I NEVER have to do it again I'll be very happy because it's a PITA! MUCH, MUCH easier if you remove the hood first. just be sure to...

sorry Ray, I hadn't noticed the date from the original post, only that the thread was now active. I didn't realize this was your prior 250hp car - I remember you finishing that car than selling it. Guess I just assumed you picked up another..... Don't remember hearing that you sold the...

Hi Ray sorry, just saw this thread for the first time. There is an excellent Corvette Restoration and Repair shop in Maryland called Tony's Corvette Shop http://www.tonyscorvetteshop.com/index.aspx One of the guys there, Keith, has a '65 250hp car that he restored. Maybe call him up and ask...

saw this one at a show 2 years ago Paul and fell in love with '65 GTO's right than and there! i'd love to add one to the "collection" someday......

what, no ZZ572BB motor?? :D Merry Christmas Bob! BTW, when were you ever politically correct on any of the boards? ;LOL ;LOL I always preferred your straight forward approach and responses

Ask Mark (VNV) for his friend Bill's info. Bill wrote a great tech article about rebuilding steering boxes so he may be open to doing a side job.

John, As always, I greatly appreciate you sending and allowing me to host up your articles. :beer

Bill for what it's worth I repainted the motors in both of my cars. In the '65 i left it in the car but on the '78 I had pulled the motor out. Obviously, when the motor is already out it's much easier! I'll use the '78 motor as an example: I stripped the old paint off the block using chemical...

sent you an email

when referring to the articles that would have been in Corvette Enthusiast magazine, are you referring to John Hinkley's articles? I have permission from approx 98% of the authors of the of the articles to have them posted up on my site, including all of John's articles. In fact, probably half...

Hi guys I just added some more tech articles and links up on my tech articles page. Enjoy!! http://www.lbfun.com/Corvette/Tech/vettetech.html
