And fab up an additional release cable as well. Connect it to the 'intermediate cable' that runs between the hood latches.

I've seen 'muffler' videos on U-Tube, but it's hard to really tell with a recording. The best place to get a buffet of sound is at a large car show. Get there early as they motor in and find ones you like and talk to the owners. Don't forget, there's many variations that will effect the final...

From your description on your bright lights, I would consider the foot switch. Bypass it to verify. For your dash illumination lamps, check the fuse first.

No problem South. You're going to need those brakes when that heard of elephants steps out in front of you! :L Not that you're not welcome here, but have you checked out some Alfa forums out there? Alfa Romeo Forum - Alfa Romeo Club for dedicated owners Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board & Forums Best...

Welcome to the CAC South- Sounds like you either have an earlier Corvette or different car, by the reference to drum brakes. That's alright by me. I'm not real clear on your reference to "copper-nicol pipes." Copper walled brake lines don't belong on any car. They won't hold up to the brake...

Since you've got some research time, I'll start giving you some of my links to learn from. Some good, some not so good. Help yourself to weeks of reading. :beer National Corvette Restorers Society National Corvette Museum Corvette Links Page Corvette Top 100 - Best Corvette Sites On The Net -...

I just skimmed thru some of the info there, and it looks legit to me. Good place to start is the history. Learn that in the C3 line, the first model in '68 is what's known as a 'one-off' year. You'll find what we call 'bumper cars', soft noses & tails. Into the 80's came the 'aero vettes'...

This can get rather lengthy, so here's some links that you may want to pass on to your father. Mechanic's Checklist How To Buy A Corvette Please Review: Ten Rules For Buying Your First C3 Corvette - Corvette Forum I took a quick look at the ad you're considering. IMO, watch out for the word...

Just looking for some clarification on your cable Peter. Where is your radio & antenna located now? Could you provide pics or links to your type of 'screw connector' so I know what you have? The reason I ask is I may have some cable stored away. If I have what you need, I'll send it to you. :beer

Timing 101 A hardy 'Thanks' to JohnZ for sharing his expertise and hard work with everyone! :cool!:

Being this is not a stock factory app. I would measure from hole to hole with throttle closed. Head to local auto parts and have them size you up from there. I would first choose one that's about 3/4 - 1 inch shorter. You may have to try several to find one that fits the feel and duty. Try it...

Gary- Your (carb) throttle return spring (on the left side in the pic posted) doesn't look too healthy. I suggest a replacement that seats deeper in the holes. Try and find one that's longer than what you have. They shouldn't be stretched out like that. I like the dual springs that are light...

Gary- You could reverse the carb dual inlet fuel line, but the naked end finish would still require a rubber hose to connect. If you do, make sure it at least has a hose barb. There's tons of selection & parts vendors for a new one. - The vendors here on this site - Summit, Jegs, Rockauto...

On the primary side (front) of carb is where an elevated rectangular housing exists with a choke blade. Such as this: http://www.holley.com/data/types/pictures/DblPmprCarbs_IntoZOOM.jpg Some people remove the choke horn on their Holley's for improved air flow/performance. Sometimes grinding it...

Not the clearest pic. Simple observations: Small block Chevy engine. Aftermkt valve covers, intake manifold and thermostat hsg. Carb looks to be Holley 4150 series with the choke horn ground off. That's the 1st time I've seen a dual carb fuel inlet line facing the rear. Kinda funky. Looks like...

Vettehead Mikey explained the idle stop solenoid operation, which leads to the very basic and first thing that should be checked when you have engine run-on (dieseling). And that's the base idle on the engine. If it's too high, run-on can occur. There will be one spec/step for the base idle...

If you can't find the orig stuff, use generic velcro adhesive strips. I would add some additional adhesive, as it may not take to hot days. :beer
