    65 Engine Removal questions

    Ended up pulling them as a pair, and glad I did. For some reason, the transmission and engine were VERY tough to separate after they were out. Required a ton of twisting and shaking the transmission before it finally came free from the engine. Odd thing is, the transmission slid back into the...

    Photos of my 3-1/2-year'64 Restoration & Rebuild Process

    Lars, that's a thing of beauty! I am bringing a 65 365 horse car back from the dead and have hit a mental brick wall with it right now. It made your 64 look like a top flight car when you first got it. A question about the first pic...I'm looking for the rough bodywork and don't see it. No...

    Help! 1968 Tail Light problems

    I would try disconnecting the "harmonica" connector at the bottom of your steering column above the pedals. It's a long, electrical plug that connects your turn signal switch to the cars' main harness. Clean up the connection, wiggle it around, plug it back together and see if that fixes the...

    65 Engine Removal questions

    I don't have much room at all in my garage, and I don't want to find out the hard way that I don't have enough room to pull the engine and trans together, so I am thinking about just pulling the motor by itself. My plan is to unbolt the motor from the transmission, slide the engine forward...

    Some Ebay listings are just too "unique" not to share...

    :L:L:L:L;squint: This cars' been for sale before. I wonder if someone DID buy it and found out it was a POS, or if it never sold to begin with?

    Help! Order of body mount installation hardware

    JohnZ, I don't have a 66 AIM, this car isn't mine and I'm just helping a friend with it...but I do have an AIM for my 69. I just referenced those pages in my 69 (G1 and G2) and assembly seems pretty clear. It show a different part number for the #1 spacer (3941909) vs the 2 and 3 mounts...

    Help! Order of body mount installation hardware

    Car is a 66 convertible. All I have is a box of bolts, rubber cushions, aluminum spacers, and shims; I don't have any idea how they all came apart--I didn't do it myself:W I know I will have to play around with the number of shims, but what confuses me is the location of the cushions, and why I...

    Headlight is opening by itself

    My bet would be on the actuator. Default position is up when it loses vacuum. Try using some longer lengths of line to swap actuators with the other headlight assembly to see if the problem goes to the other headlight ass'y. My 69 is a September 1969 build car...I thought that all 69s' used a...

    Question: Chrome bumper C3s: 1970 / 1972 differences?

    The eggcrate grilles on the fenders will have only horizontally chromed lines on them. 71-72 will be both vertical and horizontal. 68-71 used green lettered gauges, and in 72 they were changed to white. Pretty sure that cars 68-71 used a slightly different style/pattern of heater control face...

    Windshield frame problem

    Yep, stay away from the silicone. When I did my windshield, I used 3M Butyl windshield tape (which is original). Come in a 25" roll of 1/4, 5/16, or 3/8 diameters. Took that a step further by applying a bead of urethane over the TOP of the butyl that the windshield would sit on, figuring...

    Is This The C7 Corvette?

    I DO like the roof line/B-pillar area.....has a lot of the early C3 coupe lines. Car is not my thing overall though.

    Restoration Parts

    Gale Gee (Gees Corvettes) in Wellsboro PA has a ton (I mean barns) of good used parts--63 on up. Might be worth your time to give him a ring. Good guy to deal with, and very knowledgeable. (570)376-3421/2519

    69 Dash Removal

    I agree. I just did mine today while pulling the windshield. That bolt on my car was above the speedo cluster, 7/16 nut. I did have to bow the top dash because it would not slide right out. Finally just got the corner of the dash to clear the bottom of the passenger side a pillar, and it...

    Seafoam?

    An old timer back in the 80's showed me how to run water through the carb of a running engine to remove carbon build up:W. It was to keep the motor from stalling by working the throttle by hand while DUMPING water slowly into the carb...1/2 gallon or so. Sounds crazy, but seems to work...
