Hello, folks, I currently have an aftermarket (14") steering wheel installed on my 63. It is comfortable, but my tolerance for 'armstrong' steering has diminished somewhat in the last 20 years. Are there any 15" factory GM steering wheels that will bolt up to my 63 steering hub? Thanks in...

Thanks for the kind words. The color is actually a tad brighter than how it appears in the picture. I have no idea what the actual color or manufacturer code is, but when I bought the car back in 1984 the seller called it 'Corvette Yellow'. I think it is very similar to a yellow available on the...

John - thanks for the reply. :thumb Could you venture on opinion as to whether the pressure that builds up using the standard cap would be enough to push fuel past the inlet valve in a carburetor (leading to a hard start condition when hot)? I read elsewhere of that being a problem with the...

Thanks for the reply. :thumb After further research, I found a reference in Noland Adams' restoration guide (page 94, I believe) describing the 63-67 vented gas cap as "able to relieve both pressure and vacuum". Hmmm...my brand new cap releases vacuum, but won't relieve pressure!...Am I...

Funny that you mention the locking gas cap - that's exactly what I had before, and I do not remember ever experiencing the pressure problem with it. The only reason I replaced it is because it just plain wore out and was giving me problems, so I bought a new (repo) standard cap. I am seriously...

Yup, just spent the last six weeks dealing with that nonsense. ;squint: Got the first unit from a local Corvette vendor for around $80. Same design as yours, leaked from the start. Got my money back. Ordered a GM/ Delco unit ($149.00) from an online Corvette vendor, different design (used...

The word "vented" is embossed in big letters on the cap. It is a brand new repro cap, purchased two months ago from a local Corvette vendor. My follow up question: Can enough pressure build up in the system to push fuel past the needle & seat valve in the carburetor (brand new Edelbrock 1406)?

Hello, folks, Should the vented gas cap on our Corvettes relief pressure in both directions? Or is it a one-way relief valve? I opened the gas cap three times yesterday afternoon, and three times I experienced a substantial relief of air pressure from the tank (like opening a can of soda, only...

I ordered some parts from Chicago Corvette a few years back and eventually got them after an unusually long delay. No big deal, but their lack of an online presence may deter me in the future. I recently purchased a windshield wiper motor from Al Fierke through Ebay (didn't know it/he was...

How about chrome on yellow? Ignore the young handsome wannabe stud! :L

FOR SALE: 63-67 Restored Windshield Washer Pump, purchased from Eckler's (#43042) a few weeks ago, but never installed. I ended up purchasing a restored windshield wiper motor complete with washer pump, so this unit is extra. $90.00 plus shipping - and no core exchange needed! :upthumbs

FOUND AND PURCHASED A WW MOTOR I found and purchased a WW motor. Thanks to all for your assistance! :upthumbs

FOR SALE locally in the San Francisco, CA Bay Area. These trailing arms were removed from a 1965 Corvette back in 1987 when I was considering converting my 63 to disc brakes, and have been sitting in careful storage ever since. $300 for the pair.

Hello, IH2Lose, Thanks for the words of wisdom. I replaced both of the bearings in the steering column, plus the bearing holder (seat) at the bottom of the column, and all of the other little nickle-and-dime thingies, so it is completely rebuilt for all intents and purposes. I also rebuilt...

Hello, 64mike, Thanks for the response. Actually, I already figured it out. The 63 is different in that the signal housing, although keyed, can slide up and down the mast jacket to allow for correct clearance with the bottom of the steering wheel hub. For 64-up I believe, as you say...

Hello, folks, I am in the process of replacing the heater box assembly in my 63. When I originally removed the core, there was some kind of sealant (dumdum maybe) between the heater core mounting frame and the heater box. I was hardened and somewhat difficult to remove. I'm pretty sure Bubba...
