Yesterday, I fitted the hood on my 75 C3 with the Performer RPM and this is what I found. There was 1 ½” space at the front of the air cleaner and 3” at the rear after the hood was closed. To check clearance yourself, take a wad of aluminum foil and compact it loosely into two balls and place...

I recently sent out my Trailing Arms to Vette Rx in Conifer, Colorado for rebuilding. These guys seem to be real pros in the C3 suspension area and their prices are right. As part of the job I decided at the last minute not to buy rebuilt strut rods with poly bushings and simply replace my...

I rebuilt the box, pump, valve and slave cylinder. Now that its all complete the steering is tight as a new car except that the steering is inconsistent and is hard to turn when I come to a stop and try to make a turn. On the highway it seems to be pretty good but I still notice considerable...
