So I parked the car last winter after a final drive for the season. Haven't done anything with it since (I know...bad owner! BAD!). Today, I changed the oil, fired it up and got ready to go on a nice long cruise. Put in the clutch, move over toward reverse - griiiiind. WTF? Can't find any...

Hi guys. My wife has decided at the last minute that she wants to take the car to Carlisle to park it in the corral...so I have to address its woes before she does this. It's been missing for a while and I just got down to some diagnosis. Up to about 2000rpm, cylinders 3,6,5 are not getting...

I'm gathing parts to at least give the engine compartment in my 62 the appearance of being proper. Here's what I'm starting with: It came with a big chrome Mr. Gasket air cleaner on the carb. So far, I've collected: Carter AFB 3269S Date correct 349 intake manifold vacuum advance...

Any of you guys ever deal with this company? I bought a 62 AFB, intake, distributor and heater control valve from them through their ebay store (mztcarb). I didn't know what the company name was until boxes started arriving with Chicago Corvette Supply on the receipts. The receipts show a...

Within the past week, I've managed to find a Carter AFB and 349 intake from April of 1962 (my car was built in May). The seller also has a new single point vacuum advance distributor. I thought this was pretty sweet - how could it get better? Well...I just won this auction...

I'm in the process of undoing some of the 'hot-rodding' that was done to my car. It came to me with a 780cfm Holley, Edlebrock intake, high lift cam and solid lifters. I've found a date correct Carter 3269S AFB (freakin' expensive carb!) and cast iron manifold (trying to bring the car to 300HP...

Another part falls victim to 25 years of sitting idle... We took the car out to test out my carb tuning (which seems to be paying off in the short drive we managed). About 200 yards from the house, coolant started dripping onto my wife's foot. We got it home and coolant was coming out of the...

As I continue to get deeper and deeper into our 62, I'm starting to realize how much I've forgotten about carburators. I've been a Fuel Injection guy for the last 20 years and haven't touched a carb since I stopped driving my 66 Corvair Monza with 2 1bbls. My 62 has a Holley 4053 4bbl on it...

The 62 that we bought at Carlisle has an engine that's turning into a bit of a mystery. I know it's a NOM and everyone told us it was from a 67. We talked to the man who built the engine and he confirmed it was a 67 with solid lifters, high lift cam and domed pistons. He couldn't remember...

Hi guys from a new owner. My wife and I brought a 62 home from Carlisle this year and I've started taking on it's ails. One problem is that it's a hard top only car and the nuts that press into the deck lid have stripped out of their holes and don't hold. The top rattles like crazy when...
