    Suspension damage by storing on blocks?

    Everyone I know takes their wheels off for storage and puts plastic bags around the rotors..........Is it wise to have the shocks fully extended for 6 months ?.. ...I wouldn't think so....Maybe we are different up here, I don't know.;LOL

    cleaning up the chassis

    It's really unfortunate that another poster with a valid question will be pushed away to another web forum because of the smart -ass know it alls here. Pretty soon you will be all by yourself.....Really unfortunate. Three responses in this thread are totally useless, self indulgent, non...

    Help! starting problem

    The answer is.....I changed out the choke tube hose on BOTH ends of the choke tube(which was fine) and adjusted the lean/rich on the choke to 1 mark lean (from almost all lean,God knows how it got all the way there). With 1 mash of the pedal and 3 cranks of the starter , she fired right up.The...

    Help! starting problem

    But it is sooo much fun sorting this stuff out...;LOL...When I get the carb rebuilt over the winter, I'll ask the master...He will set it up perfectly and I will ask about the electric choke. Until then, I'll fiddle with it and see if I can tweak it a bit.....Heck....There is enough summer left...

    Help! starting problem

    I'll try that tomorrow after I fix the choke tube hose. On close inspection, there is a slit down 1/2 of the length of the hose..The vacuum must be being compromised to the choke because of the bad hose..The hose is only about an inch and 1/2 long but the loss of vacuum to the choke must have...

    1973 or 1979

    I have a '79 and I'd take a '73 in a heart beat, condition withstanding of course.:upthumbs...btw, what is the HP difference ?...A '79 has 195 hp and a '73 has ?......'79's are emissioned to death imo and '73's have no emission restrictions.You can do a lot more to a '73 and be legal...One thing...

    Power antenna info

    Ya, Corvette Central just shipped mine today after a 6 week wait.I guess that will be an extra, seeing Mikey Kapps sold me one for $25.00 4 weeks ago and the antenna has been fixed since then....Seeing how hard they are to get, I guess that isn't such a bad thing.

    Dash Turn Signal bulb replacement?

    Good job!...You mentioned the tach/speedo bulbs.....The only way to get at them is to take the tach/speedo cluster right out and undo the sockets from behind. You can't get them through the face plate side....That's a 20 minute removal job.....4 steering wheel column bolts(drop the steering...

    Dash Turn Signal bulb replacement?

    Tim, it looks like he's got an '82 so there's not a chance in hell in getting your hand back there....There are only sockets connected to a circuit board with NO wires attached....That's why I said to push the bulb in and don't turn them....I did that and the socket fell behind the...

    Dash Turn Signal bulb replacement?

    1) Take the tach/speedo bezel off. 2) Remove the tach/ speedo cover plate to expose the bulbs 3) They are recessed about 3" so you will need some flexible tube to be able to grab them... 4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, they just PUSH IN and come out.DO NOT turn them. I just replaced mine on my '79.I...

    1)Take the bulb out from under the hood. 2)Is your power antenna always running?(does it operate properly?) 3)Does your anti theft system work?..4) Does the plunger switch work when the hood closes?......These are a few things to look at right off the bat.....Any one of those items can drain the...
