My '97 is with a local dealership service that I really trust. They have treated me very well for the past 4 years. They are telling me that my Secondary Air Pump has failed and requires replacement. Unfortunately, the part is no longer carried, and they have been unable to locate one...

Thank you very much! Thank you!

I just purchased a 1997 that came with 2 tops. The original has a 3" crack in it near the front driver side corner. The second is a new aftermarket which leaks because it is clearly not a perfect fit. I would like to have the original repaired. I've read some articles that say if the frame...

I bought my '76 Vette 3 years ago at Bloomington Gold and have loved the car ever since. It won't win a lot of races, but I was always surprised as how much zip she does have for a '76. This weekend I found the reason. Somewhere in this car's life, someone installed 1965 Camelback (double...

I just pulled the dipstick and checked it this morning and my somewhat novice assessment would be that there is a slight hint of a gasoline smell on the dipstick, but not overwhelming. If draindown is my problem, what is your recommendation for the most effective long term fix. I'm not a fan...

My 1976 Stingray is only allowed out of the house on the weekends, so after a full weekend of driving and tinkering with no starting issues whatsoever, she sits in the garage and rests until Friday night comes around. I have to pump the gas and crank the engine many many times before she fires...

Thanks! That's exactly what mine looks like right now. Do have any recommendations for the best place to get quality parts to do the job. I know I've seen kits in my MidAmerica catalog for this job.

There could be a couple things going on. Either the switch is broken like mine was, or the buzzer itself doesn't work. I would check the buzzer first becasue it's a much easier job. It's located right under the dash, close to the fuse block. If that's not it, it could be the switch. My best...

Discovered that the two rear tabs on my diff cover that hold the rear spring are both broken. It rides and drives fine, but this obviously needs to be addressed. Due to financial and time limitations, I'd rather wait until I tuck her away for the winter before I start this project. That...

Answered My Own Question The good news is that I figured it out. The bad news was that I had to completely disassemble everything that I had already done to find the problem. During my installation of the new lock cylinder, I had the key fully engaged, which caused the plastic keeper on the...

I just replaced the lock cylinder and cancel cam in my 76 Stingray. During disassembly, the plastic piece that comes off right after the steering wheel (don't know the name for sure, but I think its the C-ring plastic retainer) just crumbled in my hand and could not be reused. I finished the...

Thanks I had a similar problem with my 76 that I bought last year. The chatter was horrible and got worse as it warmed up. I changed out the fluid and added the limited-slip additive and the problem seems to have done away completely. If it wasn't for this message board, I was almost ready...
