    71 Brake problem

    If the brake light comes on it is not the booster. The light illuminates when there is a pressure differential between the front and rear brakes. One of your circuits is not working right. Now don't be insulted, but when you bled the rear calipers, did you bleed both of the bleeders on the...

    door lock actuators

    It looks almost identical to the one I used in my 71 so it should work.

    how difficult is it to remove the rear cross member that holds the Diff?

    I used 2 pickle forks, one on the front of the cushion, one behind. I then took an air chisel and whacked away in between the rear pickle fork and the crossmember. Only took few second and it popped loose. The air chisel was the key as I tried with just the pickle forks and a big hammer for...

    Camaro Seat Belts in the C3

    I've heard of some managing to get the Camaro belts through the seat guides, but not sure what was involved. I have C4 seats in mine so I put a guide on the sailpanel.

    Camaro Seat Belts in the C3

    Those belts should work fine. You only need the rear belts (to the right in the ebay picture). You have one mounting point on the rocker panel and a second point on the rear wheel hump behind the seat. The retractor bolts to the wheel hump, and the strap to the rocker panel.

    EFI Conversion ???

    You may want to look into the Holley TBI kits like this one: http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/C950/C950TB/950-22S.html Not smog legal although your emissions improve it will fail visual if they do it in your state.

    Opinions on '69 Alignment specs that were done

    Yes, your rear toe is too far out of spec. Most shops refuse to touch rear toe on a C3. Even if the shims are not rusted it is still too much work for them. Your front camber is also bad. 0.8 pos is not acceptable on a performance application. If you do any sprited driving you will notice...

    Heat barrier/Sound deadener

    I used "brown bread" (do a google for it to find suppliers). It's less than half the price of dynamat and atleast as good. I liked working with it better than dynamat as I had to heat the dynamat to form it and the BB could be installed without heat. I used all of a 70 sq ft roll in mine...

    A/C trouble shooting

    My 71 AC was in bad shape when I bought it. It had been open for years (compressor out of the car). I detailed the steps I took to get it working on my webpage: http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/zwede/71corvette/ac/acmain.htm I'm running R134a and it cools real well (42F out the vents on a 90F...

    H4 Headlight System--Super Bright and Versatile

    The end of the fiber sticks into the headlight. It picks up light and transmits to the console. If it doesn't work the most common reasons are a break somewhere along the way.

    H4 Headlight System--Super Bright and Versatile

    I did something similar years ago. I was in Sweden and picked up some H4 euro spec lights. They bolted right in except for the fiber optics. I got those working by drilling a small hole in the H4 plate and sticking the fiber optics in. I'm just running standard 55/60W H4 bulbs so I didn't need...

    New seat belts - Who can supply?

    As was posted above: rear belts out of a 93-up camaro or firebird is mostly bolt-in. They were a direct bolt-in on my 71. About $50-$75 for a pair from a salvage yard, or you can get brand new ones from GM.

    Rubber Body Mounts

    Yes, my car sits about 3/8"higher, but it's not really noticable. It gave me a little more hood clearance which was needed. I heard that the brackets were lower on the 73-up, but I don't believe that is true. A friend of mine has a 73 frame under his 72 and used the solid mounts and had no...

    Rubber Body Mounts

    I've done this on my 71. Used the 73-up standard rubber mounts. Car rides much better and it cut down on road noise. Very nice upgrade, IMO. /Markus

    Mechanical to Electronic Tach conversion

    Up to, and including, 1971 the numerals were green, and then switched to white. If you want a stock appearing electric tach in a 71 or earlier you can move your old faceplate to the electric movement out of a 75-77. I did this several years ago and it works great. Bonus is you will probably get...

    upgrade to shoulder and lap belts

    The belts that work are REAR belts out of a 93-up camaro or firebird. Depending on the year of C3 they are either a straight bolt-in, or close to one. /Markus
