Could someone please give me some advice on how to locate my brake light problem. - Both taillights work. - Both turn signals work. - The brake fuse is good. - The brake pedal switch appears to be good. I placed a jump wire across the orange and white wires that go to the brake light switch...

Hi, I recently bought a new glove box emblem for my 66. It previously had a 65 emblem. I was surprised that the 66 emblem is only 2 1/2" wide (almost half the size of the 65 emblem). Is that correct? If it is correct, could you please let me know the measurements for the placement of the...

A few years ago John McGraw posted a real useful post on cleaning the contacts inside the clock. I cleaned them off and the clock worked great for years. Now those contacts are finally worn down. I wonder if I just put a dab of solder on each contact if that would work (I suspect not). Or...

Hi, ;helpI just had a new clutch installed. It is now stuck in reverse. It did work when I first brought it home a couple days ago. It has the original shifter, transmission etc. The shifter “reverse pull up” stays in the up position. Any suggestion on how I can pop it out of reverse?

I bought a set of Al Knoch door panels and am surprise that the hole for the window winder is not cut out. Is this normal? Also, there is no indent there. Is that normal?

I am removing my door panel and am having trouble removing the door lock knob. Does it remove the same as the window winders, which I used the tool on to release the clip? If there is a clip, it is really difficult to slide the tool in to get at it. :confused OOPS just found the answer in...

Just looking for some advice on replacing my windshield. I will have it installed by a professional, but I am wondering what parts I should order to facilitate the installation (clips etc.). The outside metal is fine. I'm not showing the car, so I don'd need it to be perfect, I'm just thinking...

I just bought a new water pump for my 327 300hp. The one I am going to remove was painted a glossy black. This one came un-painted. Could someone please confirm what the stock color should be? Also, do I need to use gasket glue? Thanks Just to clarify... I'm not looking for the "stock"...

Just a dumb question here. I've never paid any attention to my transmission. It's the stock manual 4 speed. The other day I was under the car looking up at it and wondering if I need to check the fluid in it.

Could someone please tell me the length of hose I should have between the overflow tank and the heater hose (where it joins the T fitting)? Thanks.

Is there a general rule for the color of the intake manifolds? What color should the intake manifold be for my 66 SB? :confused I notice some are orange and some are grey.

Hi folks, I finally broke down and bought a complete new ignition shielding kit (never had it before). There are a good quantity of little parts. I don't have any instructions and don't know where to start. Does anyone have a picture I can follow or instructions/advice on how I should put this...

I just put new sparkplug wires on my 66 327. The previous wires were not stock and were divided with a place holder that was mounted to the valve covers. I now have the original little clips. Where do they bolt on to?:confused

My speedometer needle is jumping all over the place. Odometer not registering. Would I be correct in suspecting it is the cable? If it is the cable is this something I can fix myself. I like to tinker but I am at a pretty basic level, with basic tools. Thanks

I am not much of a mechanic. Just wondering how hard it is to work on taillights. I want to re-hook up my backup lights. Looks like I have to take off the whole bottom piece at the rear (under the bumper) in order to get access to the rear of the taillights. Just wondering if this is easy to...

:confused Thanks to Islander’s post, I saw the underside of a 66 hood. I notice there appears to be slots for the posts of the “stingray” emblem. Would all 66 hoods look like this? I think I must have a 65 small block hood, because I do not have these on mine. Could someone please confirm this...

I just bought a nice shiny new stock air filter canister for my 66 small block. Much to my dismay, it does not fit on my Holly 650 double pumper. The bottom portion of the canister will not seat because of the bulk of the carb. Anyone else experience such a problem? Not wanting to change my...

I have been following rowingone's "64 emblem help" thread and see perhaps there was some "eyeballing" going on at GM when they installed the side fender flags. A while ago I was looking for the measurement for the positioning of the "Stingray" emblem for my 66. I received the measurements from...

Folks, I have a 66 with 2 red tail lights on each side. I sometimes see other 66s that also just have the red lights. I believe I should have 1 red and 1 clear backup light on each side. My question is: For a 66 was this an option, or do all 66s have the backup lights? Thanks

Do all 66 Corvettes have the Corvette Stingray emblem on the front driver's side of the hood? Mine does not, so i want to install it does anyone have the measurement of exactly where I need to place it? Thanks.
