    My First Car is a C3

    Congrats...my first car was a C3 too! Brakes are a really good place to start IMHO. Dad, you said the brakes were reworked by the seller but are now bottoming out. If you haven't done so already, do some searches online and read up on C3 brakes. They work quite differently from the disc...

    Mice and storage HELP !!!

    I've never had any luck with conventional moustraps. Glue traps work ok but they tend to get covered with dirt/leaves/bugs and lose their effectiveness within a few weeks. I tried one of those electronic gizmos that claims to scare them away by 'creating an acoustically hostile environent'...

    Maybe you have 15 of one type and one oddball that was replaced due to a previous failure.

    10 Cars That Damaged GM's Reputation

    There seems to be a pattern of trying to do the right thing but rushing to market with technology that isn't quite ready. (ie Aluminum engine blocks, V 8-6-4, Diesel Olds, EV1) I really hope that the Volt doesn't get added to this list.

    valves loosening

    I hate to say it but that's how it happened with mine too. First a tick-tick-tick then a clack-clack-clack. One rocker was loose (#3 exhaust) so we adjusted it but the tick wouldn't go away. I tried adjusting it with the engine running but immediately noticed that rocker wasn't moving nearly...

    ebay wiring harnesses

    Maybe you should contact Lectric Limited and see if they have what you're looking for. If they do, get the part number and try to get it through TLD.

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

    I agree...just bring gloves if your car is a 4-speed, that shifter ball gets c-c-c-COLD!

    Question: improving the 1972 LT1

    72 engine modification

    I have a '72 LT-1 ;), however while it has a Transistorized Ignition today it didn't leave the factory that way. I'm certain of this because I asked a question about it's operation on the NCRS board a year or so ago and was basically attacked about how it shouldn't be there, etc, etc. (Never...

    chrome clone?

    I saw one a few weeks ago at a cruise. I think it started out as a '79(?) The owner told me he put a '68 rear end on it, I honestly can't remember the front because I was so taken with the back. He painted the rear bumperettes body colour (red) which seems like an odd thing to do after going...
