Been looking at getting some “poly locks” for my noisy rockers, last week was my 3rd go around in having to adjust them, they keep getting lose, is there a brand of “poly locks” fellow members prefer or have used with success? Prices range from $18 to $60 bucks so I thought I’d ask before I...

Anyone have info or has done this, turned a 79 into a earlier convertible72-76 or so, maybe someone in the WWW that has a website of this sort of build up? My gears are turning and my wife and I have always wanted a convertible.....hhhmmmmmmm....

We have been at it for the past 6 month and we have finally decided to sell our Vette, financial priorities have been set and something has to go. I actually feel sad, personally because I feel we are seeking financial gain from a "friend". Gracie, my wife, bought the vette when we started...

I just found out my father-in-law, Luis, bought some spare "parts" off a guy who was building a street rod and was wanting to use a corvette suspension. This guy got frustrated and offered my father in law the "parts" for a set of rims and 50 bucks. I made a trip out there yesterday and it...

F***!!!! I had my vette stolen last night. The idiots apparently could not keep on long enough to drive it away. So they stole it and didn’t get far. Broke off my steering column, steering wheel, passenger side door lock and went though my tool box. As many of you know your car is like a part...

We need to sell :( our vette to help finance my gong to law school, my wife says we can't have it all. Anyhow, anyone use vettefinders before??? I usually don't like to spam in forums but since its related to the question, its a 79 daily driver, $8,000, I will upload a webpage I created via...

I have a some of questions on spark plug gaps, RPM’s and fuel consumption. I gapped my plugs (R45TS) to the correct gap-.45 (running HEI). After researching, and realizing that the gap was previously at .35, I regapped. Timed the engine everything is good. BUT, my RPM’s are now way off...

Been lurking for a while, nothing to really write about, most of my questions are answered just by searching the forum. Ran into a problem though, my transmission (newly rebuilt 350) oddly lost power while loading the vette up on a uhaul trailer, and all of a sudden alot of oil spilled out of...

There is a web page out there on how to make a brake pressure bleeder by Jim Powell http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm (one of many sites) for some reason I think he made it for a newer vette. I had read this some while back and I think it was in a vette forum. Anyhow, everything looks...

Friends, I am having a heck of a day. Driving to work this morning at about 30-40 mph the car just turned itself off then on again. This had happened twice before about a week ago. The last time the car turns completely off and turns back on again, all in about 1 second. This time it...

First time engine builder with a question. I am rebuilding a 350 4 bolt main with original heads, came from a 70 Vette, anyhow, its nothing fancy, only performer package (cam, intake, carb). My problem right now seems small, but I need input. Even though I know the answer but I will still ask...

The colum on my 79, has some play in it where it tilts. It isn't too much play. When you pull down on the wheel you can feel the tension of the spring(?) It pulls down and to the left. I was told that you can fix that by tightening up a retainer bolt in the column that keeps the tension on...
