I'm trying to get my wiper door to work and my PO had this line going behind the distributor and connected to the yellow hose that is supposed to go to the wiper door relay. I'm pretty sure the hose connects to the HVAC system under the dash. The AIM is hard to follow because it shows the 69...

I have the Heads and side pipes off my car to get a valve job(leaking exhaust valve:mad). While the heads are at the machine shop I thought I could clean and detail some stuff I normally can't get to. I'm not sure how I should detail my steering box so I'm going to ask my fellow CAC members...

Looks like the rear end overhaul I was planning will have to wait until I take care of something more important. Looks like I'll be calling Vette Brakes Monday morning.

Santa was nice enough to bring me a new MSD Pro Billet Distributor for Christmas to replace the aging Mallory Unilite without Vac advance that has been in my car since I bought it. I need some advise on where other owners have mounted the required ignition box. My personal preference is to...

I know i'm going to open a can of worms here. My local gas station just installed an 89 octane Ethanol Free pump for boats and lawn equipment. It is 25 cents more expensive per gallon than the 93 octane pump. Who here would be interested in using that in their Vette?

Does anybody know the route for the first leg of the Power Tour?(Canaveral to Valdosta) I know they like to take back roads when possible and stay off the Interstate so I'm thinking they will come up US301 through North Florida.

Now that my factory radio has been restored I thought somebody might be interested in putting a new CD player in their Vette but dosen't want to cut their original bezel. This is my original 70 bezel that my PO cut for a new radio. He fabricated a piece of alumium to fit the stock bezel. I wish...

OK so i'm done with my head/cam swap. I noticed when inspecting the water pump that the weep hole was full of grease. I cleaned the grease out and SURPRISE it now leaks. My question is,I'm planning on installing side pipes(or headers) and i'm going to convert the lower alternator bracket to the...

Just wondering as I plan to start my head and cam change tommorow. Can you remove the cam with the radiator still in place? Its a small block.

I'm finally about to start my top end rebuild on my Corvette.(one more small obstacle to overcome) I currently have GM crate motor #12356644 (300 HP) in the car now. It has 9.1:1 compression with 64cc heads #14096217. I am replacing those heads with a set of pre-eliminator AFR 195 heads which...

Does anybody know of a company that can take my stock radio and update it with modern electronics. I've seen a company somewhere before that can do this type work but forgot where i saw it. I would love to have my stock radio back in the dash running four speakers and have an I-pod jack( i...

About a month ago i finally installed the new center console(along with fixin alot of Bubba)that my wife got me for Christmas. I noticed some oil on top of my radio coming from the oil line going to the gauge at the 90 degree fitting. I used some Teflon tape on the threads and reinstalled it...

Happy 40th Birthday to my Corvette. That should be a good excuse to buy it something new right? Lets see if my wife will fall for that.:L

The left headlight on my Vette has all of sudden decided to come up on its own while i'm driving down the road. I spent some time yesterday going through the whole vacuum system checking the hoses and everything seemes alright. I replaced the Actuators a couple of years ago because Bubba had put...
