I am a little cautious about just forcing the door open, and I can not find any type of bypass.

I do not have a manual, but I will look for the switch right now. Thanks.

wiper picture This is the piece I need to remove:

The wipers are not working, and I know there is a way to bypass the system and open it, but what is it? How can I access my wipers if I can't open with my dash turn on? There is a short piece of curved metal that bends around the corner from the wiper door to the drivers door that I need to...

Fudruckers in El Toro does have the car show on Tuesday's from 5 to 7:30 or so...maybe its 6, I don't remember. During the summer months there are around 75 cars there. Also ther is Pacific Coast Corvetts which meets there once a month. Good luck. Steve

I just sent them an email, thanks for the tip. Steve

I am looking for a weatherstrip kit for a 1968 convertable hardtop. I need all 4 pieces for the hardtop, 1 front, 2 sides and 1 rear. I will consider a kit for the entire car if I can find a great price, but I do need the top the most. Thanks Steve

I will do that this weekend and let you know. What you say makes sense, and I never thought about the oil being washed away. Between your and Jim's answers I have some work to do. I thank both of you,and I'll post my answer this weekend. Thanks again.

I can't say that I completely understand everything you said, but I do understand some. Would the condition as you state cause a fuel smell in the garage when I park the car? I know enough about carbs to adjust them a little, but thats all. Would you think it is rebuild time for that center...

I am stumped by this one. I have a 1968 427/400 (tri-power) that is perfect in every way but one, and that is starting. I usually drive it about every two weeks, and when I first get in I pump the gas twice and it starts immediately. If I drive for a while and make a short stop, like for gas, it...

A good thought, thanks.

Thanks. I believe the rockers are stock, but maybe I'll put on a thicker gasket just to be safe. I expect I will need the gasket material and cut my own?

I am replacing the valve cover gaskets on my 68 424/400 and was very suprised to see that when I pulled the covers the old gaskets were about 3/8 thick neopreme. I have never seen gaskets that thick, and was wondering if that is normal. I have not been up to buy the new gaskets yet, but I can't...

I know what you mean, but there must be other corvette shops in so Cal that I don't know about. I won't go to "Joes Garage."

I don't know anything about the vacuum system, and I inderstand it is all vacuum driven. I don't even know how to open the section up to get a look at em'.

I need to have the windshield wipers repaired on my 68 big block. I live in Orange County, California, and I am looking for a reasonable repair shop in the general area. Corvette Mike's is way too expensive for me. Anyone have any shops they could recommend locally? Thanks Steve 1968...

Thanks, that's good news. Steve

Can I change the rear main seal on a 1968 427 through the oil pan, or do I need to drop the tranny? Thanks Styeve

Thanks, I'll keep working on it. Steve

Good thought, I'l check it. thanks steve
