I have the hood off my '77 for sale. It is in great shape, I just bought an L-88 hood recently. I would prefer local pickup due to shipping PIA. $250.00 without the '57 fuel-injection emblems, $325.00 with. I'm in the Fort Worth, Tx. area. Don't know why the pic only shows up as a red X, but it...

Here are my new wheels and tires. What do you think?

I'm making up my new plug wires and cutting them to length so there won't be messy wires hanging all over the place. The only thing I'm not sure of is which directiion the rotor in the distributor turns when the engine is running. I said it was a stupid question. It's been years since I worked...

I took allt the engine parts to the builder the other day and last night I read an article in the NCOA newsletter that said a high volume oil pump will cause oil consumption in a daily driver! Is this correct? If so I need to switch before he gets to the piont of installing the one I gave him...

I am getting ready to start putting my 383 together and need some advise. I am building a TPI stroker with Edelbrock performer rpm heads. It should be 10:1 compression. I have Sanderson headers and a new 700R-4. At this point I'm not sure if I should use 1.5 or 1.6 rockers. The valve springs...

Can someone out there point me in the right direction? I am putting a TPI system on a 383 w/performer rpm heads. Do I need a 58 mm throttle body or is the more commonly used 52 mm going to be big enough? I know that the 58 mm is not that much more expensive, so it would not be a problem to ask...

I just bought a set of Edelbrock performer rpm heads (thanks 1unsafe1). I am currently in the U.K. on my way to scenic Angola for 2-3 weks and thought I'd use my travel bunus to invest in the short block on my return to the real world. I'm not that knowledgeable about engines and am unsure about...

I am going to be running a TPI system on my '77 and I'm not sure if the electric fuel pump will be able to supply enough fuel if it is getting its supply from the small line that used to supply the mechanical fuel pump. I have the tank out, so if there is a mod I can do to it to help would...

I got my new rear spindles from Corvette America and I have new Timken bearings. I measured the I.D. of the races and the O.D. of the spindle bearing surfaces. The spindle surfaces are .004" larger than the inner races. I checked with the mechanical engineers at my work, and they all said this...

Could someone give me a little help? I am going to get rid of the VIR valve and upgrade the compressor to a Sanden on my '77 and I'm not sure what else I'm going to need except the VIR eliminator kit sold aftermarket. Do I need to replace the evaporator and add an orifice tube? Do I need to add...

I am trying to put my car back together and I'm finding that the previous owner must have canabalised it. There are no light sockets or anything else on the back of the cluster. I bought a new Gen/low fuel lens and a seat belt lens. I see in my assy. manual that there is supposed to be a low...

I am a new member with a 77 L-48 auto. I am going to redo the engine to get around 300+ hp, and would like to go to a 5 or 6 speed. Can I do this without permanently midifying the car? It is a #'s match and I am basically the 2nd owner. It has never been wrecked. I know it is not worth much, but...
