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...

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...

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...

ONLY $200 for a shock absorber?! Is this person insane, or is it just me? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CORVETTE-SHOCKS-63-64-65-66-67-68-69-70-71-72-VETTE_W0QQitemZ220157731849QQihZ012QQcategoryZ34200QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ;shrug Please, please tell me it isn't me...

I've looked at previous posts on this subject. I removed the glass and used a hammer and punch to tighten up the two rivets that secure the strap to hold the mirror steady. Unfortunately, I went a bit too far and the heads of the rivets are damaged and started to fall apart:mad. Maybe this...

Hi all. I've seen several references to Noland Adams' Restoration Books on different subjects. I've looked at several book stores and only found two versions: one for C1s and one for C2s. Does anybody know if he has a book available for C3s? Thanks a bunch...

Hi all. I have a book which shows a picture of a 1973 LS4 454. It shows the alternator mounted on the passenger side of the engine, with the AIR pump mounted below the alternator. I thought for big blocks at least, that the alternator was always mounted on the driver's side. Anyone have a...

Has anyone installed a third brake light on their Vette? I know I've seen this somewhere. But I'm not sure if it was a magazine, or this site. I'm pretty sure the new Corvette uses a bolt on plastic piece, just wondering how something like that would look.

Does anybody know how far the exhaust extensions are supposed to be sticking through the chrome bezels under the rear bumper? I've got the large rectangular ones and they had been flush with the bezels. This car had Flowmasters on it previously, and they weren't extended far enough. I'm sure...

Does anybody have any idea what CFM my Rochester carb is, from the factory. 1972, 454, 4-SPD, 270HP. Or does anybody know where I can go to look that up? Thanks a bunch :D

Hello all, I'm looking for suggestions. I've got a '72 LS5 4-SPD. This came stock with 8.5:1 compression, rated at 270HP. I'm sure the cam was nothing to right home about either. The car itself is not perfect, it is a driver, so I'm not interested in keeping it stock or numbers matching. I...

I currently have a '72 LS5 4 spd with 427 L88 heads, an aftermarket intake and carb, stock pistons and cam. That's the way it was when I bought it :crazy. The engine is tired and in need of a rebuild. I am looking for decent street performance. I'm sure the heads hepled by boosting my...

This may really sound basic :eyerole , but here goes. I've got a set of cast iron cylinder heads and an intake manifold that I will put on a shelf for storage. I want to put something on them to prevent rust from forming. I was thinking of just spraying WD-40 on them, but it seems to me that...

I would like to replace my distributor with a newer MSD unit. My car currently has a cable driven tach. I would really like to install a factory looking electronic tach, which has the right hand turn signal indicator at the bottom and also the brake warning light at the top. Does anyone know...

Hello all! First posting. I have seen a couple of threads similar to this, but not quite. I need to replace the rear body mount brackets on my 72, they are basically gone. Thanks Michigan :mad. They are riveted to the body, so I either need to grind off the heads or drill them out. I know...
