Hey All, Just wondering if this bracket kit is what I am looking for: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=ZOP%2D8000&autoview=sku I have an 81 vette with the stock A/C compressor, and wasn't sure if this kit would fit or not. Are there any other brackets that will fit the stock...

I have sent back one set of trim panels that didn't fit, and have just gotten a second set that doesn't fit, and before I try a third set, I thought I would ask if anyone here knows where I can get trim panels that would fit. -Chris

Thought I would post some pictures of my rearend rebuild, hope you enjoy them. Before: After: you can find more pictures on my website -Chris

Hey guys, I am replacing the bushings to for mounting the rear end, but the new poly bushings don't look like they are going to fit with the those sleeves in. I did a quick search and came up with this thread...

Quick question for you guys, I've been ordering a TON of parts l8ly to redo the back half of the car, the ujoint straps I orderd from ecklers, part number 39841, which says they are for 63-96 vettes. Now they they have finally come my dad test fitted them and the holes don't line up? did...

Hey everyone, Haven’t posted in a while since the vette has been running trouble free ::knock on wood::, but I thought since I got some new tires I would show them off a little bit :D I haven’t put many miles on the new tires yet but so far no rubbing (after doing the parking brake mod) and...

I was wondering if this ring and pinion set would work in my 81. http://www.drivetrainsuperstores.com/store_detail.asp?id=558 I don't understand the difference between this brand and the brand that summit sells, are these gears cheaper quality or something? Thanks for the help guys! -Chris

I have an 81 with an RPM intake, headers, dual exhaust, 600cfm carb, and an auto trans. I was looking at replaceing the rearend gears this winter and was wondering what you guys suggest I should put in it. I use the vette for everyday driving in the summer, so I don't want anything too crazy...

I replaced the hoses at the beginning of last year, and I thought I put them on correctly, but, the low pressure hose now has a leak in it. It looks like the hose was melted a little bit. Could this have been because of the heat from the headers? Does anyone have pics of how these hoses...

First the good news, I put the vette in a car show saturday and won third place! I'll have a pic of the car with the trophy tommorow (if it's nice out). Now for the problem.... I had the vette up on the lift the other day to service it, and I was looking around the trans to see if I could find...

I recently had a shop make a dual exhaust system for my vette, but he did it in a way that took away a LOT of ground clearence. He flattened the drivers side pipe so that it would fit under the transmission brace, and he put the clamps on upside down so that I lost even more ground clearence...

I had a few minutes to spare this morning, so I thought I would post some pictures of the finished project (pulling/painting engine). Now I just need to call the exhaust guy. First a few before shots.... and a few after.... as soon as I start working on my website again I'll have...

could one of you with the stock distributor please trace the tach wire from the distributor to the firewall, so that I will be able to find the one on my car. I have looked all over for it and can't seem to find it. I lost the wire after pulling, rebuilding, and then reinstalling my engine...

when I tried to start my 81 up I found that it has no fire... all of the connectors that go to the distributor are hooked up, except for one, it is labeled "Tach" the wire has vanished, would this cause the car to not fire? where in the engine bay would I start looking for the wire, knowing...

We got the engine in and everything hooked back up, went to start it and blew the fuse to the lights (the hood light connectors were touching each other). so we wraped them with tape so that we could crank the engine over a few times and get the oil running through it. but when I turned the...

I was wondering what the two things were that are sticking out of the gooseneck on my 81. I've put a new intake manifold on, and have switched to headers, the carb is a holly 650 cfm, so the computer isn't hooked up to it. Do I need those two things sticking off of the gooseneck? also one...

I'm going to buy the stuff needed for my exhaust next weekend, and was wondering if you guys could tell me if I was missing anything off of my list of stuff to get. Part numbers from summit WLK-86008: 63-82 Corvette Dynomax Cerama-Coat Headers: $229.99 FLO-42543: 40 Series, 2 1/2 in. offset...

What is the stock color of the 81 block? Thinking about pulling it and painting it when I go home for the summer. Thanks for the help, -Chris

I called my dad to tell him about what I found out researching how well the Dynomax headers fit. He had just gotten back from our family owned garage, and told me about a converstion with his cousin. He is now almost as excited as I am about putting headers on the vette. He also wants to...

When I go home on summer break, I'm going to put on a new exhaust, with the mad dual kit, and Delta 40s. My question is, which of these headers would you guys recomend: FlowTech or Dynomax or Patriot Do the dynomax headers have more shine to them or is it just the picture? I'm a sucker for...
