Many thanks for the response. It seems like I've been working on this forever. I'll try what you suggested before the week is over. Johnny

I'm having great difficulty finding a problem with my "79" Vette that keeps draining my battery, if car not started every day. I think the problem is in the radio or courtesy systems. I wanted to run a new wire from the radio to the fuse block, but dont know how to get to the back of the fuse...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do another check of all the lights tonight when it gets dark out. I still can't figure out why the radio goes off with both the radio fuse or the courtesy light fuse pulled. I'm not an electrical guy, so any input would help. John

After about 3 days of sitting the battery goes dead in my 79. I did a current flow check with a multimeter on the 10 amp scale and had a reading of 1. When I pulled the courtesy fuse the reading went to zero, however then the radio would not work. If I pull either fuse, the radio or courtesy...

The battery in my 79 drains dead after about 3 days if left in the garage. I did a current drain check with a multimeter set on 10 amps and got a reading of 1. When I pulled the courtesy fuse the reading goes to zero, however the radio also quits. Radio has its own fuse just above the...

Tranny leak I had the same problem on my 79 about 3 months ago. I tried several things prior to going to Chevy and buying the replacement speedometer insert for about $14.00. Once installed the problem went away. I had this leak for over a year before I finally broke down and gave in to the...

Informatiom only!! There is an easy way to add a universal exhaust hanger. There is clearance for the bracket to be installed where the cross over spring is bolted on in the center of the car. You can unscrew the bolt and insert the universal exhaust hanger, which which will allow you to pull...

Sarann, I'm about to do the same jopb on my 79. Any advice as to installation, or the best place to purchase the weather stripping?? Johnny J

Thanks Bill, Sounds good to me. I'll takle a look at the local auto parts place later today. John

Just installed a standard exhaust on my "79" from the "Y" pipe on back. Very difficult to get the pipes up high as they were originally. Has anyone seen hangers that mount over the top of the spring center plate, and drops down to attach to the 2 pipes?? The originals were tack welded...

79 T Top leaks Thanks for all the good thoughts. Is all w/s the same, or does one of the catalogs have better ones???

I need to replace the weather stripping on my 79 "T" Tops. I know that I can get a set from mid america and other catalogs. However, I was wondering if there is other weather stripping that will do the job without the high cost. Anyone out there try anything other than the made to order...

rear seal in tranny Recently changed the seal, but it turned out that the leak was from the speedometer adapter on the side of the tranny. I got the new adapter from Chevy for $19.00. No one else seemed to have it. Real easy to change, and also stopped the tranny from leaking.

Rear Seal and Universals Just recently changed both of these on my 79 . I had the same problem reaching the Main Seal because the drive shaft was only half wayto the side. I decided to remove the drive shaft and that worked fine. However, I managed to drop one of the end caps off of the...

Just recently changed the yokes in the rear end. Also removed the left traveling arm, and had new bearings installed. In addition, installed new adjustable wheel alignment rods for the rear wheels. I went through a set of new Dunlap tires in 10,000 miles, due poor alignment, and could not...

Wearing out of calipers I'm not an expert, but I would be changing the master cylinder. If for some reason the master cyl. will not release, it culd hold pressure on the brakes which would surely cause wear. Since your problem is with front and rearnit can't be anything to do with the...

Speedometer / leak at transmission Thanks to all for your help. I tried calling many shops and car part shops for the part..no help. Ended up buying modified cable adapter from Chevy for $19.00. Looksnlike a good fix.

79 Corvette. I have a leak where the speedometer cable goes into the extension housing of the transmission. is there an "O" Ring there, and how do I get to it??
