    Z6...it does make sence

    As was said above, the Z06 is the RPO code, one letter and two numbers. So, guess that techinacly it would be Zee Zero Six. But since most people refer to the number zero as "oh" it becomes Zee Oh Six. It is NOT a Zee Six!!! tom...

    Rear Window Storage

    The storage compartment got 4" shorter in, I believe, '71. Something about giving more room to the gas tank in case of a rearend accident. tom...

    1973 Convertible

    Gold would have been a special order, paint code of SPEC. Was not a regular color. By the way, no 350 HP engines in '73. L82 was 250, LS4 was 275. tom...

    What are the correct seats

    Believe that the vinyl seats had the front to rear seams while the leather had side to side seams. The shoulder belts should go through the seat backs. tom...

    73 BB Q#1

    My '73 is an early '73, built Oct 25, 1972. The '72 big block did not have chrome valve covers. My understanding, and I may be slightly off, is that for the years that had multiple big blocks, the bottom of the line BB had painted valve covers while the upper tier of BB had chrome valve...

    73 BB Q#1

    I have to agree. They are an easily swaped part. But if you are going to show at NCRS or Bloomington Gold then you must swap them out. Why not have both and change them as needed? Here is my '73 LS4. Does not have the correct plug wires and the ignition shield in not in place. Otherwise is...

    Indicator light for automatic transmission

    On my '04 there is a red indicator tab that moves with the shifter from the park, reverse, netural, drive. It is red and covers the white back ground as the shifter moves through the pattern. No light that I can tell other than the under mirror light. tom...

    what to do?

    Don't know the laws there but some places if you don't register you will be facing a hefty fine when you do register. May be able to title as non-operational until you get the necessary repairs made. Sounds as if you do not have to pass a safety inspection to register. tom...

    C5 - Kumho Tires

    I found that but it did not give any details of the run flat spec. Such as how far can you dirve it without air before it must be replace and what is the max distance you can go without air. With some run flats, you get a nail in the tread and then drive ten miles, without air, to the tire...
