I agree, that's where the brake fluid leaked on mine when the calpier started to leak.

That's what I ended up doing. Since I renewed mine fairly recently, late September, I was able to get a credit back on my credit card. I asked the credit card rep what would happen if the magazine fought it, she sais as far as they're concerned, it's a closed case. We'll see. I had it happen...

Has anyone else received their first issue of Auto Enthusiast? Apparently it's taking over for Corvette Enthusiast, as well as Ford, Mopar and others. It's all wrapped up into one magazine. I just got mine, I do not like it and I will not be subscribing to it. :mad OK, I'm done. Check it...

Yes it needs to be vented. Just put a vented gas cap on it.

I just did this exact repair on mine this Spring, using Gary's excellent guidance. No leaks yet :thumb. Thank you Gary. The only thing I'll add is on the installation tool I used. It was just a 16" long piece of schedule 40 PVC I had laying around, I believe it was 3". It worked better than...

I installed one of these remote solenoids on mine after being fed up with hot soak restart problems. Never had a problem since. And my starter did/does have the production heat shield. Good luck.

Stroker or no stroker, I'd rebuild your 454 :thumb.

Bummer! Bad news. Sorry to hear about that :(. Sounds like a good idea with the 406, good winter project :thumb.

Very nice car! Awesome video. Sweet burnout :upthumbs. Cool song. But...Slow Ride in a CORVETTE video? ;shrug How about "I can't drive 55" - Hagar? or lesser known "takin' a ride" (heavy metal) - Don Felder? I personally prefer the latter of the two. But hey what do I know? At least you...

The hood in the second picture is a cowl induction hood used on L88 and ZL1 engines.

Right, I am currently running without the crank to W/P belt, idler pulley, A/C and A.I.R. My understanding of the belt setup on that engine was because of all of the extra accessories: A/C and A.I.R system. I am only running with power steering and alternator. So I have one belt from crank to...

Here are a few pictures of my idler pulley and bracket. It's currently not on the car, along with the belt or the A/C. The first pic shows the adjustment slot, second shows how to access the lower bolt through one of the pulley holes and the third just shows the water pump stud attachment...

Same set up on my car. There is an adjustment on that idler pulley. I may be able to get a picture.

This is what I used: Seems a bit brutal maybe, but I couldn't see another good way to do it. I didn't like the torch idea, especially since the passenger side is so close to the fuel line. Plus it worked pretty well.

Jimmy C, Since there are so many people on this site that are intellectually inferior to you, maybe the site is not for you ;shrug. 72corvette, Glad to see your problem is fixed :upthumbs.

Please help, I think I'm going :W. I'm trying to put my spare tire tray back on the car, the correct way. I had it off, basically, because I was just poking around. The area in question is the two forward mounting bolts. The AIM shows the nut threaded onto the bolt, then the bolt passing...

OK, better pictures. From some of the replies, it sounds like this may be fairly normal. I've just noticed it for the first time, and it didn't seem right. The first pictures are at the very rear of the body, right in front of the gas tank, looking forward, you can see the radio antennae and...

Thanks for the replies. I was actually using the shock bolt as kind of a reference, I'll have to take some different pictures tomorrow. But looking at the body/frame relationship, there is definitely a sizeable difference side to side.

These pictures are of the upper rear shock mounting bolts in relation to the body. The driver's side bolt is actually rubbing on the body, on the outside of the battery compartment. The passenger's side is approximately 3/4" away from the outside of the jack storage compartment. I didn't...

I do not have power brakes and it's no big deal. The only times that I really notice it is when I go from driving my newer vehicles with power brakes, to driving the Vette. But after a few stops in the Vette, you don't even notice it.
