    Sway Bar Size

    I know that all 70 LT-1s should have come with the standard 3/4 inch sway bar. However, the bar on my car that appears to be original is 15/16th. Any possibility or rumors that 70 LT-1s might have gotten larger bars? The springs are standard with HS decal still in place. My car is a Feb...

    I read in BoB Kroupa's Sold, Sold, Sold article in the most recent Corvette Enthusiast that two 70 LT-1 verts sold at the Bloomington Gold auction for $57,000 and $51,000. Does anyone know anything about these cars? Thanks

    Holley Carb $

    I recently bought a 70 LT-1 missing the holley carb. I've found a correctly dated carb that is complete but needs rebuilt. Asking price is $875. Seems high to me or is that what I should expect to pay?

    Pure Stock Drags

    In the most recent copy of Corvette Enthusiast is an interesting article on the Pure Stock Drag races. The fastest Corvette was a 70 LT-1 which did the 1/4 mile in 12.62 at 112.12. Pretty good for all stock including the tires. That was faster than an LS6, a 69 L71, 65 L76, and a 66 L79.

    70 Engine Suffix

    Corvette Black Book lists CTU, CTK, and CTR as LT-1 engine codes. According to NCRS no CTR codes were produced. Also, the change over from CTU to CTK was complete by about VIN 9000. Looking through the LT-1 Registry a saw several cars listed with CTR codes and at least one late production car...

    Glass Top

    My step Father recently bought a 95 with a glass top. The top is in good condition, but hazy. He ask me for advice on products or techniques to remove the haze but so far I've only owned sharks and don't know too much about C4s. Thought that maybe someone here could help. Thanks

    Help with vacuum leak?

    I think I have a vacuum leak that only occurs when the engine is hot. The car starts fine and runs great until it gets to full operating temp. Then I get a whistling sound and a slightly rough idle. The whistle sound loudness varys, but not with engine speed and I can't isolate the source. Once...

    Tire size and nonpower steering

    I'm planning on buying differant size tires for my 71. It currently has 235/60's and I'm going to change to 225/70s or 255/60s. After reading most the tire threads I was planning on going with the wider 255s but I'm afraid it will make steering at low speeds difficult. Any experience with...

    LT-1 Driver ?

    I'm tired of driving my 95 blazer everyday and not getting to drive my corvette as much as I would like. Here in San Diego weather isn't really a concern, but would I be stupid to sale the blazer and use a numbers matching 71 LT-1 coupe as a daily driver? The car is not a show car but does...

    Tank Sticker Removal ?

    I recently purchased a 70 Lt-1 conv. The car is about 90% original and came with a good bit of documentation. The tank stricker is still on the car. My question is should I remove the sticker and if so what is the best way without removing the body. Thanks for any help.
