The other day the parking handle broke off leaving part of the park handle set screw in the park rod that the handle connects to. The hole in the handle for the set screw is now oblong shaped and stretched. So a new handle is a must. I've spent about 4 hours trying to drill the screw out. And...

Is removal of the windshield header center trim very hard? I just recieved a pair of new visors for my 1960 however my car never had them installed at the factory... I'm thinking if I could remove the center trim, I could then remove drill mounting holes in the appropriate location and epoxy...

I installed the Corvette Central kick panels with speakers. I already have the CC dual cone radio speakers installed in the dash. My FM radio/cassette player is adequate as it has a line input for my mp3 player but it only has 2 channels. It has rca jacks in back to attach an amplifier. I...

I replaced my old distributor with a MSD HEI unit. The car seems to start a lot quicker... However the generic spark plug wires I purchased at Canadian Tire are a little tight in a few spots. I suspect this is because they were not designed to clear 1950's-60's Chevy ram horn exhausts... I need...

Because of my problems with the turn signal switch in my Corvette, I'm contemplating purchasing a Flaming River or Ididit steering column... According to the Ididit site some modifications are required to your existing steering column to accomodate the Ididit unit...

My turn signal switch seems to be flakey lately. My turn signal lights work fine BUT sometimes only one brake light will come on... I suspect I need a new canceling cam and a new flat spring. I've had this problem before and that is what resolved it... Has anyone replaced the turn signal...

Hi... I have a 327 in my 1960. It's using the stock engine mounts and ram horn exhausts from a later model small block. My alternator is mounted on the driver's side.... I converted my car to an alternator about 20 years ago but I'm not pleased with the alternator mounts I'm using. I'm...

The gear shifter in my 60 Vette (327 with M21 Muncie) vibrates at speeds around 40mph to 60 mph in 4th gear. At lower speeds it's fine. Any ideas what I should be looking for to resolve the problem? Thanks kindly...

I'd like to convert my 327 small block Chevy from points and condenser to electronic ignition. There are a few options, kits from Mallory, Crane or Pertronix that use the original distributor), a MSD unit (using the original points as a trigger) or a GM HEI distributor swap... My Corvette is...

When I purchased my 1960 in 1983, the center of the hood was cut out for a blower or high rise manifold. I've had it glassed in twice since 1983 but it always cracks along the outlines of the original hole... I've been looking at replacement hoods. Can anyone recommend a good hood...

While putting my 1960 Vette in the garage, the passenger side door lock knob fell off and I lost the little 'C' spring that fits inside the door knob. It's the same kind of 'C' spring that is also used on the door window handles... I tried to purchase them locally but no one seem to stock...

On my 1960 the passenger side door sometimes will not open when you press the door handle button. However if you open the passenger side door from inside, it opens fine. This has been happening when the passenger side door is unlocked. Since I can not lock my passenger side with a key, I can not...

A 54 year old man was killed yesterday when his 1963 Corvette Coupe left the highway north of Halifax... I did not know this individual but I believe I may have photographedhis car earlier in the year at a local car show and used his image as the source of a digital painting I posted here...

I have an Edelbrock street performer aluminum intake manifold on my Chevy 327. I put the manifold on about 6 years ago. It's no longer nice and shinny. How do I restore the shine? I've used engine degreaser like Gunk but it doesn't do much in cleaning the aluminum but cleans everything else on...

Hi.... I recently installed a new Lectric Limited wiring harness in my 1960 Corvette. This is an exact duplicate of the original Corvette wiring harness and uses a generator. However 20+ years ago I converted it over to an GM 3 wire alternator (10si) with internal voltage regulator. Any...
