    1978 Barn Find

    No that is not a solution. The only reasonable solution is to get replacement tires for the car. If not you're just making it dangerous for the next owner.

    1978 Barn Find

    Check Coker tires. They reproduce original tires and this is where we got them for our 2 pace cars. https://www.cokertire.com/tires/goodyear-eagle-gt-owl-255-60r15.html If you have the original tires on the car they need to be replaced. Putting tubes in them are just a Band-Aid and if one of...

    Correct shift points (RPM) on ‘82 700R-4

    B&M sells a shift kit that worked very well in changing the shift points. Back in the 80s and 90s we were installing them at the dealership at customer complaint requests. The customers were charged for the parts and labor but we're very happy with the outcome. I was when I installed it in my 82...

    Correct shift points (RPM) on ‘82 700R-4

    The 82 Corvette was the first year of the 700R4 and the shift points we're very close together for economy reasons. One of the biggest complaints was that the transmission would shift into second gear too early and then 3 and OverDrive. One of the biggest complaints that we had at Chevrolet back...

    Harmonic balancer is wobbling.

    While you're in there I recommend you replaced the harmonic balance seal also. Follow John Z's instructions and you shouldn't have any problems.

    69 427 cooling system

    69 427 cooling system

    You shouldn't have any problems using a 15 pound cap. How many core copper radiator do you have? With a big block you need a four core.

    69 427 cooling system

    First of all you should make sure the copper radiator is not clogged in any way. Also when you added coolant did you add it slowly? You may have air in the system which would cause it to overheat. I have the same configuration as you do on my 68 big block and living in Southern California I do...

    Question: Conversion of interior/dash lights to LED?

    LED Lighting For Everything | Super Bright LEDs I think still has kits for the C3 Corvette. I did many C2 and C3 corvettes with the kits purchased from them with no problems.

    For Sale C3 Master Cylinder?????

    Hi Don.... don't shoot the messenger but even with a clean bore (which you really wouldn't be able to tell unless it was disassembled) it would only be worth about $35 to $50.
