    Question: Transmission Change out using jack stands

    I have done it twice with my 77. I had to slide it off the jack to get it out from under the car and then get it back up on the jack to get it back in. Not a lot of fun, but easily doable.

    How much did you pay for your Corvette

    I bought my '02 6 speed coupe last Nov. with 8500 miles on it. 1 owner and loaded. Traded the ex's 2008 Infiniti EX35 even for it. They were asking $23,900.00 for it. I owed $17000.00 on the Infiniti. Decent deal???

    When hot, No start

    my logic says that hundreds of thousands of Vettes are without the heat shield and don't have the problem -especially at 'operating temperature.' what's the probablility of getting 3 defective starters, all failing the same way, "heat sink," on a stock '58 engine? pretty remote. why don't 100%...

    When hot, No start

    My experience with this was also from the 60's. My brother had a 58 that after driven till it got up to normal operating temp, if shut off wouldn't start till cooled off. No audible click. I drove it on more than one occasion and always made sure not to shut it off unless I was going to be there...

    Help! Can I bypass my cruise control transducer?

    It's a speed sensor used for either an electric speedometer or a computer. An OBD1 computer will throw a check engine light if there's no speed sensor hooked up. (At least the one I used to have did.) You can remove it being as how it's not hooked up anyway. I removed the cruise from my 77 and...

    Help! Fuel Gauge problem

    I had the same problem. I would fill up and the gauge would only read 7/8. When it got to 5/8 it would drop to empty and the check gauges light would come on. At around 1/2 it would start working again but when it worked it's way to empty, I still had 6 gal in the tank. Went through 3 bottles...

    Help! Fuel Gauge problem

    The gauge in my 02 did the same thing. I put 1 bottle of the Techron plus in a full tank and didn't even get 50 miles and the gauge started working again. Super!!

    Low Fuel Light

    Where do you buy it? My fuel gauge in my 2002 just stopped working.

    Fuel Injection

    I have the First system on my 77. The only thing I would reccommend is buying their manifolds and plenum and going with the Accel DFI controller from either Jegs or Summit. That's what I ended up doing. They sell the system with an OBD-1 computer from 1990 and it's not self learning. As far as...

    eletrical

    Not sure about the 68, but my 77 has a fusible link on the starter. Pop that and you have nothing. It should be a seperate 14 gauge wire I believe. Most of the time the wire will melt inside the insulation so you have to feel for the soft spot. Art

    Help! Leaky calipers

    I rebuilt all four of mine 3 1/2 years and 25000 miles ago with o-ring kits from Eckler's or Mid america, I can't remember which. My brakes work great now. Art

    Aftermarket Interior

    Not sure about the rear compartments in yours but in mine there are handles. As far as the seats--I have C5 sport seats out of a 2000 in my 77 sitting on the stock 77 seat tracks. I'm 6'2" and I still have headroom. Much more comfortable than even the originals with new foam and leather. (Which...

    1993 ZR-1 For Sale - Only $4,000 - CHECK IT OUT!!

    It's a scam, back away!!!!! The part about having 5 days to look at it and send it back got me. I saw another that was exactly the same except they wanted me to send the money to a Canadian bank. They said the financing would go through E-bay. NOT!!!!!. I found out they just copied some pics off...

    77 vette front coil question

    I have the 550 lb springs on my 77 and even with them, I had to cut 1 coil off to get the car as low as I wanted.
