    Question: Suspension upgrades.

    Thanks for the reply Shouth Shore. How long have you had this setup on the car? I am looking at their "Big Daddy" system which come with just about everything. What shocks did you end up using on yours. They have an upgrade from the Bilstein shocks to QA1 double adjustable. Thanks again for the...

    Wandering front end...

    I cured the problem with alignment also. Checked everything first to make sure then had it realigned. No problem since.

    Question: Suspension upgrades.

    I am getting ready to start upgrading the suspension on my 68 coupe. I was wondering if anyone out there has seen a C3 with transverse composite monospring front suspension? I am looking at the one sold by Vette Brakes and Products, Vette Brakes and Products | High Performance Corvette Parts...

    With Viper splitting from Dodge, should Corvette have separated from Chevy?

    Corvette Split I think it is an advantage that the sales people do not know what we know about the Corvette. Most of the time here you end up talking to the Sales Manager anyway because the salesman can not negotiate the final price. I do not buy new cars for this reason plus I let the original...

    cam and radiator

    Just completed the same swap on my 68, the shroud on mine had two tabs on the bottom of it going through the lower frame area that had it bolted down. Once it is unbolted with the tabs in the slots it does not move forward, It took some work but I had to pull up and forward at the same time to...

    Front Fender Vents, 3 or 4 open

    Thanks Mike, your picture is a lot better than the others I have looked at. All of the local C3 cars around this area are 70 and newer so I did not have anything to compare it to. I guess mine has had filller added to cover the cracks or something because they really look bad. I have a lot of...

    Front Fender Vents, 3 or 4 open

    I have a 68 coupe, small block, 4-speed, factory air car and the last vent on the front fender is closed off. I have noticed that some 68 and 69 cars have all 4 open and some have the last one blocked off. I know someone on this site has the answer. I have asked several people and so far I have...

    Help! Disapointed 1/4 mile times any suggestions (bummed out

    The Perilli is a great tire, just not a great drag tire. I added a set of MT drag radials to my old stock wheels and picked up .5 in the1/4. It was well worth the 400 bucks. The six speed is a lot harder to master in drag racing which is why most guys run automatics. When you have a car that...

    Car cover on or off?

    Cover Choice I have a 95 Trans Am and my Corvette. I bought a good cover for the TA a few years ago. I thought the fit was good and it was an outdoor cover. The wind blows a lot in Texas. The cover was on the car about 3 weeks and when I remove it the first time it had almost rubbed through the...

    Lots of folks out there bashing the C4...what gives?

    C4 or C5 I guess the best thing to say is buy the one you love and can afford. I bought a C3 and my son has a C5 ZO6. I have a friend with a C4. I love them all. Someone mentioned the lack of waves, I am 2 for 2 today and they were both C4 owners:cool!:

    The 327 in long gone. I was told it is a 350. I bought the car because of the factory air ( keeps the wife cool ). It was white with Burnt Orange interior, factory head rest with shoulder belts. Thanks for the welcome and yes I drive it almost everyday!

    Engine Tick...

    Jay, I am glad you found the problem, I am sorry it was the worst possible problem. I should have thought about that since it also happened to me years and years ago.:confused (Getting Old and Forgetful) I will try to remember that from now on. That is the good thing about the late model roller...

    Engine Tick...

    I forgot to say something. The easiest way to check for plug wire arc for me is a nice dark night or garage, fire it up and use a small mechanics mirror around each plug. If the boot or wire is bad you will see it in the dark.

    It could be any of the above issues. I would start with the easiest to check first and go from there. I have seen all of the above on a small block chevy. Good Luck
