    electrical issues

    Thanks for responding. If by marker lights you mean side lights (my words) they work fine. 71's don't have printed circuits. Thanks again.

    electrical issues

    The dash lights on my 71 coupe will not work. Switching on the parking lights blows the 5 amp. fuse for those lights which leads me to believe there is a dead short in that circuit. I would appreciate any thoughts on how to track down this problem. Thanks.

    sway bar

    The current setup has a lot of oversteer which I don't care for, a little understeer is a lot more comfortable for me

    Battery location

    Thanks for the thought but I have to question the value of having a car jack at arms length.

    sway bar

    Thanks for your responses,as I don't intend to compete with car so I see no reason to try to out think the corvette engineers on this one. Spring is a ways off so I'll keep trying to locate a used one.

    sway bar

    P.O. installed after market sway bars in my 71 coupe, 1-1/4 front, 3/4 rear, I would like to return to the stock set up which is 3/4 front bar only. The problem is 15/16 is the smallest I can find through the big name suppliers. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    Battery location

    I have often wondered why the battery on C3's ( maybe not all) was placed behind the drivers side seat versus the passengers side. Given the choice, the right side would seem to be the obvious one. Any thoughts?

    What is it ?

    I ran the motor before reinstalling the dash panel and all seemed ok so I put it back together as I needed to drive it. I would rather not take it apart again for a photo but if I have to I will. Thanks for the help.

    What is it ?

    While changing the fuel gauge on my 71 I noticed a device similar to a condenser with a short lead and a flat connecter, it is mounted on the back of the instrument panel just above the radio opening. The lead became disconnected while wrestling with the gauge panel. I have no idea what this...

    Bad Resistor

    The fuel gauge resistor on my 71 has failed, as these are no longer available I was wondering what anyone with this problem has used as a substitute. Does anyone know if the new gauges sold through the usual suppliers has the required resistance built in. Thanks.

    Expansion ID

    I have an undated Harrison expansion tank with the numbers 3016340 stamped below the name. I don't know what year or years this fits and would be grateful for any help finding out. Thanks!

    4 speed fluid

    I recently changed the fluid in my four speed. Not being able to find the reccomended GL4 90W I used valvoline 75W- 90. The fluid seemed very thin and now I am having trouble getting into third gear both up and down. I realize I may have a syncro issue but this did not exist before the fluid...

    Wiper door limit switch

    The connector to one side of the wiper door limit switch broke off on my 71 and needs to be replaced. The door is vacume operated which is readily visible when open. Before I replace it can someone explain its purpose. Thanks in advance!

    Ride height thoughts

    I have been reading a lot of questions about uneven rear ride heights on C3s. Its hard to believe that some sort of adjustable device for the spring bolts has not been thought of. I wonder if double nutting with the lower nut being a nyloc or something similar would work. I would like to hear...
