The threads on the fuel/filter inlet stripped out on my Q-Jet. I abandoned that for a Holley which I have never cared for since installing. Can the threads be fixed in any way or is the Q-jet junk? I would like to go back to a Q-Jet for my '73. It performed great when I had it on. Is there a...

I am experiencing a leak with my t tops on my 73 Vette. It appears where the chrome t bar attaches to the rear of the coupe body the weatherstripping or caulking? has disintegrated, allowing water to trickle to the back, eventually running down either side of the interior. The water then escapes...

After replacing the rear end cover and going over the complete rear suspension, I took my '73 Vette out on the road. It ran fine for a couple weeks, but has now developed a noise in the front end. This occurs primarily when I am going in reverse and turn the steering wheel. When the front wheel...

I have just replaced the rear end cover on my 73 Vette....due to one of the ears cracking off (among other problems). I purchased a new cover from Muskegon Brake....which was delivered almost next day.....and went on with no problem. Thanks Muskegon Brake! Anyhow, I replaced everything in the...

I was in the process of replacing the spring in my 73, when I noticed one of the ears on the rear cover was cracked. Shortly thereafter, it snapped off. Nice! Anyhoo, I do need to replace the rear end cover with a heavy duty one. I am wondering if I can replace the cover with the rear end in...

Before I start...I know.....I know......don't use a Holley. Well, I had no choice. The conversion from a Q-jet to a Holley 600 cfm was a major pain in the ***. One of the biggest problems was the throttle cable adjustment. Wound up having to fab my own throttle cable bracket, but thats a whole...

I am trying to change the solid metal line from the fuel pump outlet to the carb due to a carb change. I went from a Q-jet to a Holley and now the solid line won't reach to the fuel inlet on the new Holley. I loosened the solid line up where it exits from the fuel pump to the carb.....and the...

I am in the process of trying to set the timing on my 1973 Vette for the first time when I noticed the obvious. The battery hookups are not long enough to reach behind the seat. What do most people do to safely hook up their light without burning up the electrical system? Also, how do I set the...

I have been driving my 73' Vette for a couple of weeks now after taking it out of storage. It ran fine for a few weeks, and then seemed to idle very rough when I had it in gear. I have a 350/auto w/Lunati .477 lift cam. The car does have a "lopey" idle, but it got progessively worse at times but...

I have an issue with my 1973 Corvette transmission crossmember. Upon doing the "routine" underbody nut and bolt check, I found that one of the two bolts securing the crossmember to the frame on the passenger side was loose. Further inspection showed that the bolt was freely spinning around in...

I am hoping someone can help me. My turn signals suddenly went out today (both right and left). I replaced the fuse; and flasher but that did not do the trick. I have hazard flashers that work on both sides. All light bulbs are good. Now, when I turn on the left or right side blinker the blinker...

I am trying to get my mechanical tach to work again. My 73 Vette has a Mallory Distributor w/Tach Drive. I disconnected the tach cable at the distributor and turned the plastic end piece of the cable by hand. When I do this, the tach needle moves....so.....I am assuming the cable itself is ok...

I am experiencing a sagging door on the driver side of my beautiful 1973 Corvette. I have found out by doing some research that the upper door hinge is probably causing this. It has caused some door jamb paint issues, and I would like to fix this. How difficult a job is changing this upper...
