Someone installed a Saginaw tranny at some point in the past in my vette. I'm replacing the u-joints and need to confirm what drive shaft and year I have. The end yokes on the shaft say Spicer with part number A3R27. I can't find this part number anywhere on the internet. Any suggestion on how...
C3 owner here looking for 1997 or newer oak color seats. I will consider other colors depending on your asking price and the cost for me to recover them. I will honestly say that I'm not looking for a perfect pair for big $$$. I don't need the tracks, so I will consider seats without tracks or...
I've been thinking about 17" C5 or late model Camaro/T-A wheels for a different look. I'm looking for experience from anyone who has used wheel adpaters. Any problems using them?
My 1980 has an oil temperature gauge. I purchased an AC Delco oil temp sending unit. To date I have not been able to get the gauge to work. The needle pegs all the way to the right if I ground the sending unit wire. I confirmed that the sending unit resistance (Ohms) drops when heated (used...
Greetings from a C3 owner. Tonight my neighbor and I looked at an 84 for him. I'm a C3 guy, so I could use some help. The cross fire injection engine has been replaced with a nicely built 350 with carb (engine drove very well). It has a 4+3 which ran nicely, but the shifter was difficult...
I am about to install new door panels and need to verify the correct location of the power door lock switch in a 78-82..either driver or passenger side door will do. Can someone either post pic here or email pic to me at jimweintraub@hotmail.com? Thanks in advance for your help.
I am about to install new 7 leaf rear spring. I have decided to install poly bushings, but I'm confused about the washers. OEM rubber bushings use cupped washers, however, if you look at the VB&P catalog it shows a pic of poly bushings with 1 regular looking washer on the outside of the bushing...
What is the difference between a standard timing chain and a double roller, and do I really need a double roller? I hope to replace the cam in the near future to tap into the flow of my vortec heads. I expect 300 rwhp after the cam swap. I don't drag or race...just sunday driving, so I don't...
Well,
I decided to see what the a$$ end of my vette looks like after 5 years of ownership. Ignorance is bliss until now. I discoverd that one of the straps securing my gas tank was missing a bolt and just sitting there. My differential cover, differential cross member, spring and associated...
After washing the vette the other day I found water on the floor board. Upon closer inspection I noticed that there are cracks in the trough under the wipers. It looks like the previous owner tried to seal them with black rtv. I would like to find a product to use to seal the entire trough. I...
Last year by car started running rough and I notice that my tach needle bounces a little...not much but not a smooth idle. I had not done anything to the engine, so I'm not sure what is causing this. My spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, air filter all have less than 3,000 miles on...
Started car up today and saw smoke coming from behind tachometer. I immediately shut the car off. After a quick inspection under the hood, I turned the ignition switch to accessory...no power at all...dead. Pulled tach and found blackened tach circuit board. The circuit board is still...
Car just started surging the other day while driving. I can feel it most when driving down the highway. I can also hear a very faint backfire sound in the exhaust. I have not done any work on the engine lately, so I can't figure out why this just started. Plugs, plug wires, air filter and gas...
My vert is in the shop getting a new top. The top frame is bent and needs some work. I had another shop replace the header(very front part that attaches the top of windshield frame) in the past. The guy at the shop it is at now says that the header is bolted to the frame, however, the previous...
Installed a new turn signal switch in my 80 with t/t steering. Got everything back together and working. But.... when I make a right or left turn with the turn signal switch activated, my horn blows when the steering wheel hits a certain spot while turning right or left. It only blows at that...
Thinking of upgrading my idler arm. I know the needle bearing idler arms are better than factory, but do I really need this heavy duty idler arm for cruising? I think either TRW or Moog makes a heavy duty idler arm. Is one better than the other? What about Mcquay Norris which is sold by Autozone...
One of my dynomax headers has leaked since the day I installed them. The leak is coming from the middle section on the passanger side. I suspect its warped just a tad. I'm using Mr. Gasket ultraseal gaskets with square ports. I spoke with Mr. Gasket tech support who suggested round shaped gasket...
While looking around I finally found what appears to be my oil leak. Not really a leak but a little film of oil on the side of the block. It looks to be coming from the head gasket. I could see just a little oil there and the side of the block has a wet look. No drips on the ground or oil...
There is a threaded hole just above the oil filter that is unplugged. My oil pressure sender it mounted on top of the block at the rear just in front of the distributor. Is this hole above the oil filter another location for the oil pressure sender? I have read of others who have the sender...
Found a wheel/tire shop that is selling used late model T/A wheels that were traded in for aftermarket wheels. Selling set of 4 for $200.00. They are the 5 spoke style painted silver but not exactly the same as the Carmaro SS. I would have them powder coated black to match the black rocker...
