    AC performance

    Still a manual clutch with no electric aux fan in 77. If I had kept the car I would have added and or or replaced the stock fan with electrics for both the AC and engine temps. As long as it was moving the stock system cooled the car and produced adequate AC temps. On the hottest of days at...

    AC performance

    It could at slow speeds and low RPM's. I used to keep a thermometer in the vent on my 77. When air stopped moving over the condenser the temperature coming out of the vent would increase.

    Oil Pressure high?

    Why the stick shift's days may be numbered

    I had a chance to drive a 6 speed Vette in the mountains this weekend. To me it's a toss up. The paddle shifters make the experience very similar. And the automatic definitely wins when stuck in traffic.
