Sorry I've been away due to health problems. My question is......... WAS THERE A 1973 THAT CAME FROM GM WITH A BLUE STRIPE DOWN THE SIDE????? THANKS GUYS! YOU ROCK!

I recently re-did the front suspension on my 73 BB. The whole rebuild package. I took it in for the Front & Rear wheel alignment and the shop did a great job. The next day I looked under the car and it was leaking power steering fluid. I took the car back to the Chevy garage and the guy told me...

My 73 454 has the build sheet on top of the gas tank. I seen it when I removed the rubber boot on the filler. Last year someone here said I should leave it intact and take a close-up photo of it. Which I intend to do. My Q is, "any tips on dropping the tank"? I ran it almost dry so there's very...

HI GUYS! Haven’t posted since 06. Vette was in storage sleeping for the cold WI winters. I bought a new GM original front urethane bumper. The old one was checking. My question is…. Should I bolt the new one on and then have it painted or have it painted first? HMMMMM? There are a lot of...

I have the car in for service ask we speak prior to winter storage. I asked the mechanic if he could check for a build sheet. He said he had a mirror and would try to find it. He just informed me he couldn't see it. Is the sheet farther up on the tank where you can't see it unless the tank is...

I have a 1973 with a 454 #'s match with 38K miles. My question is....my engine has chrome valve covers, chrome coil, chrome brake cylinder cover. Is this just a factory option? I keep checking prices on 73's/74's online and most pics have the chevy orange paint. TIA (thanks in advance) "JEFF"

Anyone know what the major cause of the Anti-Theft system not working on a 73? The switch/contacts look good. I know how to check things out but I would like a starting point. A few more things and my 38k mi. 73/454 will be 100% working and loooooooooookin' gooooooooood! TIA "Jeff"

Anyone know where I can buy a new plastic grill for my 73. It's the one that goes in the back of the hood. (NOT THE ONE ON TOP). It's like 1/4" screen. It's about 15" x 1 1/4" and is secured by 3 acorn nuts. I can't seem to find it anywhere. TIA "Jeff"

I need a good pillar post trim piece for a 73. Drk Red would be GREAT! "Jeff"

Anyone know where the timing tab is located on a 73/454. I don't see it on the timing chain cover.???? I can only see the balancer from the drivers side. TIA "Jeff"

I have a pair of door sills I will sell for $10.00 Plus shp. From a 73. On a scale 1-10 @ 7. I'm getting new GM ones because I want to get my NCRS rating. "Jeff"

My 73/454 has the shielded spark plug wires and they're stamped AC-DELCO PACKARD T.V.R which the NCRS JG says they should be. Mine don't bolt to the valve covers but rather have clips that slide onto the heat shields around the spark plug. Are these original due to availability????? TIA "Jeff"

I was at the GM dealer this A.M. checking on NOS parts. For the heck of it I asked him to check on PN.# 6262640. A clock for a 73. THEY GOT IT! $397.61. OUCH! Give me a dozen. @ the same cost as a ROLEX! LOL "Jeff"

I hope I'm not upsetting everyone with all my questions but I have MANY. Has anyone had their car judged by NCRS Officials? How do they score the points? I have the book. TIA "Jeff"

On my 73 LS4 there's a vacum advance, (at least that's what the Assembly Manual says but it's hard to see the hose locations). Can anyone help? TIA "Jeff"

Now I noticed my original 73 mechanical Tachometer is not working. Is there a way to find the cause, i.e. broken cable, bad gear, bad Tach? TIA Jeff

I use to have a 68 427/435 when I came back from Viet Nam. I have a GM advertising from Car Craft or Hot-Rod magazine from 1968 showing the new 68 Vette. It's a yellow Conv. It's in a 8X10 frame now but I'll take it out. If shipping isn't too much I'll pay for it. Can't beat the price! "Jeff"...

My 73 had a new Air Cleaner on it but no adapter ring or Air to Hood Seal. I bought these both and I'm not sure how the seal goes on. I looked at a number of 454 vette pictures from the internet and some of them looked like the people put them on upside down. OK, I think I got it streched on...

When I replaced a fuse on my 73 I noticed two connectors above the fuse panel that weren't connected to anything. I'm thinking they were for some option. One is a single male connector with a Gray wire going to it. It has a white lable wrapped around it with numbers. The other is a female...

I need a set of T-Top hold down straps, (Drk Red) for my 73. Thanks, "Jeff"
