    Re-routing of parking brake cable

    I have had the parking brake clip on the trailing arm moved to the top of the a-arm for tire clearance, so how do I route the cable now? Outside of arm or inside? I have heard that routing on the inside makes the cable too long!

    Battery Drain-Down Problem...

    I know what you mean about a pain! I had mine drain down in a couple of minutes after a 20 minute drive. I figure the battery was old and weak so I replaced it. I have since placed a cut off on it also, but the problem is still there. I did a run of pulling the fuses, but never got through...

    81 project

    Excellent thread and sharp looking car! I'm working toward a big block in my 73' and I noticed that you don't seem to have an issue with the lower pulley/harmonic balancer clearing the cross member. Everybody has said you need to find one of the original BB balancer/pulleys (which cost 2 arms...

    Warm AC

    Has anyone here had a problem with the driver side AC being warmer than the passenger side air. The air on the passenger side on my 97 is easily 5-10 degrees colder and comes out with a lot more force than the driver side. Passenger side air also comes out with more force. Any ideas?

    Help! wiper motor

    What type of problem are you having with the motor? Mine just started acting up over the weekend and will not go to the home position - just keeps running without even turning it on. If you still have the info on a swap out, I sure could use a copy for this weekend. Thanks!

    C5 Jacking Pads

    You might want to add a couple pieces of 2x4 to your road hazard kit. That way you can drive up on them to get the car up high enough to get the average car jack under it! Are there any jacks that will work without this mod?

    Warning! The Bad News Saga, Part II or III

    I've heard that line before too!!! Had my fluid changed (3 qts & 2 additives - That's double the req'd qty). Three months later, I start getting the popping noise when I go around curves slow. Take it in, half hour later they call and said all it needed was the fluid changed. I reminded them...

    Help! Dash speaker mounting problem

    Anyone had clearance problems while trying to install dash speakers (passenger side - at the moment) on their late model C3 (82). There does not seem to be enough room for the speaker to drop all the way in, as the magnet is obstructed by the underside of the dash pad (that also is the mounting...

    Crossfire problem

    That will be put on my to do list, I'm hoping to find a local vette mechanic that can check out and adjust my idle/throttle bodies. Not sure how long it has been since she has been tuned up and I've only had her for a couple of months. Ran the diagnostic on her again today and still getting...
