Hi all, My 77 has the factory installed body colored sport mirrors. Unfortunately, the rivets holding the mounting plates on have both cracked and the mounting plates are very loose now. This causes the mirror to wobble at the base and I'm worried they'll fall off and crack. I've looked...

Hello again all, Well it's nice weather and I've got the 77 out on the road more and more. I have noticed a problem though. I've got an edelbrock 600cfm egr carb with electronic choke, and I'll usually let the car warm up for quite a while before I drive. Anyhow, once I'm driving, any time...

A little update, First the bad news (for me) I'm still selling the 77 http://home.houston.rr.com/cjandruss/Corvette Now the good news. The wife said "don't be in a hurry to sell the vette. If you can't get 12,500 for it just wait. It's only going to appreciate. We can swing the payments...

Just when I got it all running great, my daily driver gets a hit and run. So I must sell the 77 to finance a new daily driver. The details are listed below and I'm considering trade plus cash for a newer Trans Am WS6 or Vette. I really wish I didn't have to sell but the pick up has given up...

Hey all, I got my headlights hooked back up tonight, yeah! After I confirmed that everything work I decided to unhook all the vacuum lines from the manifold, except for the brake booster. I had nothing connected to any manifold vacuum source and had the headlights in the open position. Now...

Does anybody out here have a diagram of the vacuum system for a 77? My mechanic disconnected all the vacuum lines to my headlights and I need to reconnect them. The lines are in place and connected up to about the brake booster and then all the T's and connections are buggered up. Thanks in...

Hey all, I'm wondering if anybody can positively ID this hood. It looks like an L-88 hood but there is no opening in the windshield side for fresh air to enter with the air box installed. Anybody got any ideas? http://home.houston.rr.com/cjandruss/Corvette/ Thanks, Russ

Hey Everybody! Let me first thank the acadamy.....Seriously though. To all who helped and advised me on my rear differential dilema, THANK YOU! I definitely couldn't have done it without the wonderful help of the people on this forum. Bullitt especially, your help was instrumental. Also...

How do you clean the fuel injectors? Do you simply buy injector cleaner and soak them or what? I got a quote of $140 to clean mine and I don't think it should be that difficult. Thanks, Russ

Hi all, I was just wondering if anybody knows what the weight is of the official GM differential lube. The GM stuff costs $7 at corvettes of Houston and it is a ways to drive, but Oreilly's carries the Penzoil 80W-90 oil for $3 a quart. Just wondering if it's essentially the same stuff...

Well, it's been 5 long weeks since I parked the 77 with the torn up side yokes. Mike (Stingray6974) has finally received most of the parts from Toms ( they forgot the inner bearings and seals) and has the entire unit torn apart. I'm posting the 3 pics that I've gotten from mike. The first is...

Hey Chris, How about an update of all the *little* things on the 69. I know you've fixed the horn and the rear spring, how about the rear main leak and the other small things? Is it up to 100%? I'm sure the rest of us would love some driving impressions and performance numbers, if only of...

I just looked through my VBP catalogue and they want $29.95 a piece for KYB GR2 shocks. So, I started looking around. I can get gas shocks from Monroe, Napa, or Autozones brand for about $20 each. I like the idea of having the lifetime warranty and local store availability, but I don't want...

Well, Now that I have the diff and related parts out of the car, I was thinking about cleaning the area up. Bullitt recommended por15 and I've heard good things from others about it. My question is, what has everyone done as far as prepping the surface prior to using por15? I figured sanding...

Yes that's right, Bullitt came over yesterday out of the goodness of his heart and I helped him pull my rear end out of the 77. It was pretty straight forward without much hiccup except for me smashing his hand with the small sledge while hitting out one of the bushings. doh! The only real...

Everybody, I was going to take my car to have the yokes looked at, but upon my own visual inspection I can see that the passenger side is a good 1/2" closer to the diff than the drivers side. No need to have a pro tell me, I know I need to replace the passenger side yoke. So, since I'll have...

Alright guys and gals, I am going to have my side yokes and overall suspension looked at on Monday. How will the shop diagnose a bad side yoke? I'd hate to take it in and end up having to pay them to tear down the diff just to tell me that the yoke is bad, when I can do that with Bullits help...

Hello all, My 77 has been making a strange sound occassionally. It makes a sort of dragging sound when turning hard left. So I slid under the car and it seems as though the rear trailing arm is actually contacting the differential cover. There is a hemispherical scratch mark on the...

Hello again all, Well, my engine has a weird shutter at about 1000-1800 rpms only when the A/C is running. The A/C still works fine and blows cold but when I come off the gas and the engine hits about 1800 rpm the whole drive shaft seems to shudder. All of the accessories attached shake...

Here is an article in the newest Car and Driver. What do you think? You should be able to open it in paint and use "image", then "stretch/skew" to 150% or so to read it but it might come out blurry. I would have put it in bigger but, only 65Kb is allowed.
