The stop light switch should have an orange wire (hot 12V feed) and a white wire on the other terminal (feeds 12V to the turn signal switch when pedal is depressed/switch plunger extended). The brake lights are controlled by the turn signal switch - in the "no turn" position, the switch feeds...
I do too, but folks forget that the midyear body and chassis was designed in 1960
around 6.70-15 tires on 5-1/2" rims, and it's extremely unfriendly to wider rims and fatter tires. Tire rubs on steel cars just make ugly noises - on fiberglass cars, tire rubs make VERY expen$ive noises. It's your...
We still don't know what brand or type of rings are in the engine - I'd guess from all the symptoms that they're traditional "budget" rings, maybe chrome-faced - if that's what they are, they may never seat. If modern moly-faced standard-tension rings are used and the bores are honed in precise...
Probably not. The largest 70-series tire that is used successfully with factory wheels with zero chance of rubbing is the 215/70-15; going any larger than that is just asking for trouble. :thumb

Why take the risk of "experimenting" with a combination that's "on the ragged edge" and can result in fiberglass and paint damage? Stick with a known successful combination (205/75-15 or 215/70-15) on factory wheels, and don't worry about it. :thumb

The absolute LAST thing your fuelie needs is a "hotter/lumpier streetable" cam; your Rochester fuel injection system depends on a stable vacuum supply for reliable operation, and the more radical you go with the cam, the more problems you're going to have with fuel metering and driveability. The...
If you mean by the metal handwheel knob on the headlight motor, yes - but it takes LOTS of turns. It's a lot easier to fix the problem with the motor. :thumb
All Holleys have the same range of adjustments - what's the "LIST" number and the date code below it stamped on the forward side of the driver's side of the choke tower? That will positively identify the carburetor.
Holley "spreadbores" are replacements for Rochester Quadrajets, and won't work...
'64-'66 Corvette seat-to-floor mounting is quite unique, especially at the rear, not shared with any other car I'm aware of, so whatever you use will require some level of modification to adapt to the Corvette. Have you tried talking to the Police about getting a warrant to seize your seats? :thumb
That car also carries a bogus reproduction trim tag the previous owner had made when it was re-painted red from its original blue; the amateur tag-faker bungled both the TRIM and PAINT codes and ECL's. In spite of its lineage, if presented for NCRS Flight Judging, the car would be disqualified...
Yes, there were two hoods used in 1960 - early cars used the '59 hood, and later cars with top-tank aluminum radiators required a new hood, used for '60 and partway into '61. :thumb

Yes, they were. The 1963 dash was painted interior color until about #3200, and from then on (including all of 1964), the dash was vinyl-covered. :thumb
The new '64 shifter was designed for use with a Muncie, and you don't have one - you have (or should have) a Borg-Warner T-10, and from '57 to '62 the T-10 used a unique shifter and linkage (see below) if you want the original components. The T-10 shifter is reproduced by Vette Products of...
Common/chronic C1 problem, caused by a number of factors - see my article (link below) that addresses all of the causes and cures. You need a NON-VENTED gas cap.

The link below will take you to the complete M20/M21 story. The 1965 M22 application was for a very small number of very special cars (like Bill Skinner's). :)
