I have a buddy at work who just was given a '74. He is trying to locate a 2nd VIN for DMV. He found the interior one. Does anyone know exactly where the 2nd VIN is on this year?? Thanks for your help! :D Lanelle ('73 BB Stingray & '81 SB Shark Owner :beer)

LMAO! Ya Bullitt! That is a good thought to remember.....I could be driving a Neon! Actually I drove a uh, Rambler, in my days once upon a time... Thanks for making me laugh! :L

Corrections.....ugh..... 2 things to correct here. Got in touch with the guy I bought this car from and he corrected me and said it was an engine from a '71, not a '70. However, after checking the numbers on the block, it was traced to being cast on December 12. 1978 and for a truck, not a...

More on the 454 LS6 saga... Ok, I now know the block was produced in Dec. of 78 for a truck. So most likely it went into a '79 truck. The heads are rectangular port and have "HI-PERF" stamped in them, but I put a magnet to them and it didn't stick, so they are not aluminum. Getting info...

Truck motor depression...... Well this has turned out to be pretty depressing if I have a truck 454 in my '73. Hope this isn't a hint of how the rest of my NEW YEAR is going to be.....ugh! :cry Lanelle

Engine Nos. off '73 Hey John Z, Thanks for your info. Was wondering what the source of your info was and if ya got it out of a fact book? Any idea of the h.p. or torque? This engine has square port heads and aluminum intake. Maybe this is why my belts weren't fitting.....lol! Thanks...

Nos. off block to determine LS6 or what Hey Rick, I got the numbers off the block and on the passenger side they are M128 and on the driver side they are 14015445 then over a bit is G2P. Can you please look them up for me and tell me what I have? Thanks a bunch and Happy New Year- Lanelle;)

Temp Gauge on '81 So Chuck, Do I have to remove the dash or the console or what to get behind the gauges to clean them? Doesn't sound like fun either way.... Thanks, Lanelle

Has anyone had problems with their temp guage inside their car? Mine was working fine and now all of a sudden it lays limply and unmoving below the hot side. I have wiggled the terminal and then sometimes it works, but will eventually go limp while I am driving. Not sure if this is related or...

Reverse Shifting Mine clicks too, but I find that I have to wiggle it around a bit first to make that click happen. If I am backing out of the driveway onto the street, which is busy, I have to make sure I allow enough time to play with it to get it to leave R and go into 1st. It is not a...

Shifting from reverse responses Thanks for your help and I love the "73 Spot" (sounds like G spot) site! Gotta get pics taken of my custom plates on my '73 (VETRESS) and send in. :J

Does anyone with a '73 manual big block know for sure if one needs to depress the lever on the shifter to come OUT of reverse to neutral????? I have tried both ways and can't figure out which is the correct one...:eek

Turn signal Ok Bud - heading out to check out your suggestions right now. Will let you know what I find out. Thanks!

LS6 Thanks Rick. I will get over to my mechanic's and look for that number. Dying to find out the info!!! What book is it you have that you keep referring to for looking up corvette info??

Hood Thanks for the help. Always good to know which company sells good brands and quality! Hey, do you get to drive your car up north very much? My dad who raised me lives up there and when I visit I rarily see any vettes.

LS6 Confusion http://www.netvettes.com/1970.html Oops, it was the website listed above that shows 1970 vettes having the LS6 engine as an option. It says 460 horsepower LS6 454 cu. in. big block tri-carbs. According to CAC's model center, there is no LS6 listed for 1970 AND the LS6 for...

Ok, all you experts! I need some more help. When I took my '81 in to be painted, the turn signals worked perfectly along with all the other lights (minus the inside dome). When I got it back, the turn signals didn't work inside on the dash or outside. Checked all the bulbs, replaced the...

LS6 Torque? Does anybody know how much torque the LS6 came with???

LS6 Hi Rick, I bought this '73 with an LS6 engine in it. Obviously numbers don't match, but it's awesome 'cuz it's fast, 4 speed, big block, and doesn't have to pass smog!!! Ewwwww hoooo!!! ASAP I want to put a 3/4 cam in it too. Already ordered my custom plates for this one: VETRESS...

LS6 vs. LS5 Thanks Rick. My stingray supposedly has an LS6 in it and just wanted to be able to "see it" to know for sure.
