Anybody know where I can get interior paint (red)? I need to repaint the interior windshield trim pieceson my 79.

Hey Bill. I've got a new windshield ready to go. I figure the way this project is going the windshield will definitely crack! I'm more concerned with what rust i find :chuckle

Thanks. Thats what scares me the most. If its rust in the birdcage below the window level Ill have to take the dash out. That sucks.

Thanks Antz81

Is there a rubber seal on the 79 windshield? I took my vette to a shop to remove and remount the front windshield hoping to stop water leaks. They don't want to start until I have a new rubber seal (if needed). I dont see a seal on any of the catalog blow up diagrams. Is the windshield just...

Ya I wish I could afford a new tranny. Unfortunately I have to keep patching this car together to keep it on the road. Its my only transportation right now. Thanks for all the info tonight. Its been really helpful. I have an early morning - gotta turn in now. Give my best to the Lone Star...

I see your note about your old vette you sold. If you know a cop have him run the VIN. Maybe the owner will sell it back to you.

Ya I kept saying that to the mechanic and he kept correctly me. Old habits... Was changing the pump a big job? I've done a bunch of internet searches for transmission pumps but no results come up. Are they available?

Is the pump in the Torque Converter?

I'm afraid to ask - what was the repair $$$$

I posted a thread back in 2012. I'm still having the same issue with my tranny - it seems to be getting worse. I have a 79 (early), L48, auto transmission TH350. I had to replace the fly wheel back in 2012. The shop pulled the tranny out to do the work. After reinstalling everything I noticed a...

I am having some problems with the battery/starter/alt system. When I stop my 79 (L48, automatic w/air) for a quick stop (like at a gas station) it has a hard time restarting. Starts fine if I make a long stop, say at least an hour. It never grinds as if flooded or vapor lock - just the initial...

Car wouldn't start. Totally dead - no clicking. Figured it was battery since it was 3 yrs old. AAA came out to jump it - battery tested fine. Hooked up jumper cables anyway - nothing. Tow guy reached under and tapped on the starter a couple times and the car started to run (super rough). It...

Thanks John. I was confused - Ecklers shows a larger diameter and higher teeth count for my car but other sources were showing a 153 teeth count with the 12 3/4 diameter.

What is the proper fly wheel diameter and tooth count for a '79 with Hydramatic automatic transmission? Is there any advantage to aluminum vs steel?

Thanks. I hope thats not the problem but I will definitly check to make sure!

Ugh. With this car "testing my patience" is a weekly occurance. Will the system need to be bled after changing the springs and shoes?

Thanks, I was looking at Eckler's prices for ebrake parts. It doesn't seem like it would be a costly repair.

thanks Tim. That makes good sense.

'79 started making funny squeaking noises at different times from the rear end. At first i thought it might be shocks/springs but it doesn't seem to happen consistantly at obvious suspension times like hitting a bump or when i rock the car or push down on the back end. Sometimes it squeaks when...
