I have a 68 Vette with a weird problem. When I drive it for a long time (more than an hour or so), it periodically develops a weird engine dance. It rhythmically bogs down and loses power about once a second and returns to normal.
One time, whenever it tried to start its rhythm, I was able to...
The location is a little in doubt. I got a quick look from under the passenger side. It was on the side of the freeway and I didn't feel like rolling around under the car right then.
I am 99% sure it was the driver's front quadrant though.
It if was the backup lamp switch, what does that mean...
While driving to work this morning in my 68 Vette, I heard something scraping on the ground and sometimes bouncing up against my car. I pulled over and looked around and there it was: It was about 1" to 1.5" square with rounded edges on what appeared to be a U-shaped mounting bracket. It looked...
This was a huge help: I found the switch and jammed something between the switch and the brake pedal to shut off the lights for now.
I still don't see how to adjust it though... visibility is near zero up in there and I don't know what I am looking for anyway :) I wiggled and pushed the switch...
Same problem with brake lights...
"Your brake light switch needs to be adjusted (up under the dash, about 4" below the brake pedal's pivot point). ."
Can someone explain what this means / give a little more detail?
What is the pivot point? What does the switch look like and how do I adjust...
According to a previous thread, it looks like the problem is the U-Joint. Now I am trying to decipher some of the terms and find some parts. It will take me awhile to even figure out if I am in over my head ;)
I have begun noticing a strange thumping noise coming from the rear end of my '68 vette. It is most obvious when I am coasting through a turn (either in neutral, with the clutch engaged), and it slows down as the wheels slow. I have ALMOST convinced myself that it doesn't happen when the car is...
Man, I really appreciate all the help and opinions. As I am sure all of you know, it is kind of a crapshoot asking for help and opinions on internet, but you all have been so helpful and not ONE jackass! (...um... yet) :)
The VIN#'s 4 and 5 digits are 67, so it was a convertible to start out...
I'm sure this is a stoooopid question, but what would this mean? I have looked at the frame area that the t-tops fit into, and I can't see how it could be anything else. If what you said is correct, how do I remove the existing t-top frame and make it a convertible again?
It does have 4 red circular tail lights, but nothing under the rear bumper. I will get a picture of it and post it in a few minutes. I will also check the block for the VIN there.
