Sorry to hear you going to sell your Vette. First thing is the block numbers. They are located on the flat pad on the right front of the block. There are 2 set of numbers; 1 will give the codes for month/year/man.plant/model of vehicle. 2 will be the serial number of the vehicle. So if the...

Hey Mike did you find a hood? Gary

That the only way to get it done. It is very simple once you do it. Good luck and WELCOME to the wonderful world of CORVETTE:beer Gary SAVE the WAVE

I started cleaning the shop and have found a few things I really don't need to keep. So, I'm giving all here at CAC first chance. 3 Bar spinners for factory alum. wheels. These are all metal no plastic. Never installed. $50.00+sh Need to get this stuff gone before the wife throws it in the...

Well, Just my .02 worth. I've been running Holley carbs for over 40 years on Fords & Chevys. Street cars, off-road 4X4s, Sand Draggers and so on. I've never had any major problems with them. I've done complete overhuals at the track in less than hour. So, it is just what you are use to. Don't...

I may be old school but, I really like my Holley carbs. They are very easy to tune, repair or rebiuld. For the corvette the spreadbore works great. The only problem I've found is getting small parts for some of the older models. Summit racing and Jegs now has most anything you would need. Gary...

Well if you are looking for an Edelbrock, I started cleaning out my shop and have one in bolt on condition. I purchased it to use and then found the problem with my Holley spreadbore. So I don't need it any more; Make a good deal. Gary

It looks like someone added that light; I don't have one but wish I did. Most likely trying to light up the heater controls. That always been a problem on the 78s. Gary

I've used the KYB white in the past. I was looking for a smoother ride on my driver, so this time I put on the KYB G-2s. They are great, nice smooth ride and good handling. For the price I think they are great. Just my 2ct. worth. Gary SAVE the WAVE

It also helps to remove the seat. It just give alittle more room to twist yourself into the knot that it takes to those top nuts. If you have big hand; it will be harder. Good luck. Gary

I am trying to keep major parts as correct as I can when it comes to model & year codes. There are some things that can be improved on, but the base engine is not one of them. Gary

Thanks for the information, that was what I was looking for. Had to confirm the numbers. As I said, I can't find my book with all the codes. I have check all the number a few years back after I got this car. What I am checking now is another block to rebuild so I'll have a right year replacement...

Check for a lot of gease around the caps. Then fell for any twist or movement up-down, side to side. There should not be any give at all. Good luck with the check, but I still think your vibration is tire balance. But,I've been wrong before. U-joints cost $20 - $30 each plus installation if...

Well this is a good start; At least that matches what I was told. Now I just need to know if I can confirm a production year. I'll have what I need to know. I am looking to build a new motor and don't want to pull this one out until I am ready to put the new one in. My corvette has some...

Check on E-bay, I see them on there all the time. Just remenber 1978-82' only, 77 and earlier will not fit. Good luck on your search. Gary

U-joints have needle bearing & greese to keep them lubicated. The gease can dry out, the needle bearing wear out. How long they last depends on many thing: if they are lubed reguarly, if so fitted; abuse is one of the biggest thing. Auto seem to be easier on them than manual trans. car. High HP...

Hi all, for some reason I can't find my book with codes. ;shrug :W So, can someone give me some info on an engine number? The numbers on the right front of the block are V0913CHW. Any help identifying this block would be helpful. Gary

It's the drive shaft u-joints; which there are two. One front and one rear. There are 2 each on the half shafts for a total of 4 on the half shafts. Sound like yours is most likely a tire balance problem. Luckily that is easy to fix and doesn't cost much. Gary

Hi Everyone, I thank you all for your help. I found the problem: U-joints bad on the drive-line and a minor balance one tire. The pulling to the left was due to the left rear brake flex line was bad, holding pressure on the brake. I've got it all fixed now but for the u-joints. At least I...
