Hi, I bought a sidepipe rear muffler to frame attaching kit. There are the obvious bolts and rubber discs, but in the kit there are also some small screws. What are those for?? ;shrug

I'm installing the rag joint, but the gap between the coumn shaft and the steering box shaft is a bit too big. Is there anything I can do to adjust this? The column shaft end to bearing face is 4,5 inches (correct for a 69), so I don't think the coulmn is collapsed. But is there any way to...

Hello, I have just installed my body (69 conv) after swapping to a replacement frame and the body sits good on all 8 mounts, with a few shims on some. In the front, however, I have a good 2 in between the radiator support and the crossmember, and that is when the nose is hanging freely in the...

Hi all, I'm routing new fuel lines on my 69 frame. I've seen on several installation pictures that the feed line has an extra bend between mount #2 and #3 from the tank. Why is that? Doesn't look like that in my assembly manual. See picture below (from a 71 restoration)...

I have realized that I have no clutch bellhousing front cover. Does this mount from the "outside" or do I need to unbolt the bellhousing to mount it? /Johan

I'm installing the shifter linkage. Has the inner holes on the gearbox shift levers any purpose, i.e is it possible to install the linkage to the inner holes and get a shorter throw when shifting?

Hi all, I've just installed the engine and transmission on my frame, and after installing the drifshaft it looks like the tranny and the driveshaft are not 100% in line looking from above. Is this something to be concerned about, and if so what should i use as a reference when i install the...

Hi, The speedometer on my 69 project is not working, turns out that the speedometer driving gear is loose on the axle, i.e the gear had moved an inch to the "front" so there was no connection to the driven gear. How is the gear normally fixed on the axle? I have the gearbox (4-speed) on my...

Need some help here. I'm installing a new (used) 7-leaf rear spring. (I used to have a 9-leaf but that was a 2 1/2 in wide wich was not correct for the car, and when I installed a new "correct" rear end cover I had to find a 2 1/4 in wide spring). Anyway, the 7-leaf is much thicker than the...

Hi, I'm installing new ball joints on my 69 project. The lower ones comes with three bolts for the two mounting holes. Is there a special purpose for the bolt on the left? I know I have installed it on my other car also, but I don't remember why? Should it be on the front or rear side? Also...

Hi all, How can I tell if I have a posi rear end? I´m installing the diff wich was drained, so my question really is what oil to use. Is it correct that I can use Gl-4 with non-posi but need GL-5 if I do have posi? I do have the "use limited slip differential fluid only" plastic tag so...

1) Is there some special trick to remove the differential crossmember? I have removed the bolts, and tried to pry gently with a crowbar, but it doesent move... Should I just throw in the usual exessive force and bad language? 2) I have a replacement frame for my old 69 frame. The new frame is...

I'm ready to lift the body on my '69 (everything is apart, I just need to build a dolly) The left rocker channel is a bit rusted, so I don't like to lift from there. Any other suggestions how or where I can attach the lifting straps? How about the floor panels, are they strong enough to jack...

Hi, I'm removing all body mounts in order to lift the body. Most of the birdcage seems to be ok, but the #3 left side body mount area was completely rusted away. Can this piece be purchased separately? I see that Corvette Central has the entire rocker channel with front and rear piece for $224...

I just bought a '69 with a rusted out frame. Also included was a replacement frame that is painted and ready. First question is, I have about 100 cm or 40" from the top of the windshield to the garage ceiling, will this be enough to get the frame out from under the body? Rather than lifting it...

I´m looking at a 69 vert. The car has some issues (worst is that the frame needs to be replaced but a replacement frame is included). Anyway, the car has side pipes, and on the DMV (or Swedish equivalent) inspecion there was a complaint that they were too loud. Is there something that can be...

Hi, My 74 hesitates a bit when i floor it, so I got ready to tune it yesterday. I started by checking the vacuum, connected the meter to manifold vacuum and the needle was steady at 18-19. So far so good. Then I checked the connection to the distributor, which I thought was hooked up to ported...

My car pulls to the right when i brake, even at very low speeds like a few mph. Camber and Caster are set (by me) and are correct, but I know that toe needs to be adjusted. However, I can't see that a wrong toe setting should make the car pull to one side?? Any suggestions?

I'm about to buy a pace car spoiler (original, used) to put on my '74, but I'm a bit curious how the spoiler is fastened, especially in the top part on the sides. How does the original mount look? Do I have to drill right thru the fender, or should there be some kind of mounting bolt bonded to...
