    I recently noticed a small puddle of coolant below my radiator. My car hasn't been overheating and the coolant in the reservoir is at the proper line. After inspecting further, I found a rusty spot on the radiator that seems to leak coolant onto the fan shroud and then onto the floor of my...

    Question: VBP Monospring Kit polyurethane or rubber cushions?

    I'm purchasing a VBP Monospring kit and I'm not sure what the difference is between the polyurethane or rubber cushions. The price is the same, but you can order it both ways. Why should I choose one over the other? ;shrug

    Question: Is it EVER too COLD to take out the Corvette?

    With the temps in NY going down into the teens tomorrow, my buddy and I were arguing if it is ever too cold to take out the Corvette. He said he NEVER takes his Corvette out in 20 degree weather. I believe it's NEVER too cold to go for a cruise. What do you guys think? ;shrug

    New Leak...What is it?

    I went out to the garage last night to check on my baby (1977 L48 4-speed) and noticed a lot of reddish brown fluid under the front of the car. I'm thinking it's power steering fluid. Does anyone know what this leak could be?

    I noticed my radiator is leaking coolant from the bottom of the unit on the driver's side. Does anyone have any idea how hard it is to replace the entire unit? Could it just be a hose problem? I was thinking of getting an aluminum radiator. Does anyone know of a good manufacturer? Thanks in...

    One caliper leaking...Should I replace all four???

    My front left caliper on my 1977 is leaking pretty badly. My mechanic said he could probably replace just the left one or the front pair.

    Clutch Fan Problem?

    I noticed that the clutch fan in my 1977 Corvette runs all the time. It spins as soon as I turn the engine on and continues to run the whole time my engine is running. Is this normal? I thought the fan only went on when the engine reaches a certain temperature.

    I just bought a 1977 Corvette with factory aluminum wheels. This morning while checking the tire pressure, I noticed that each wheel has a locked lug nut. It seems to need a special key/tool in order to take it off. How do I get one of these keys/tools?
