Hi Mike here, Long time member but a C6 noob poster.
Ive been doing a fair amount of searching and coming up with.. odd info, that I'm not sure I can trust.
Vert , Auto, base 37K on chassis
The issues is No Charge aka Service charging system DIC alert.
Bit of history, Theft recovery car...
A few weeks ago I bought a full ABS module from Craig's list ( $100.00 ) the guy seems like a straight shooter..
He had an 03 that got rear ended and there were no codes PRIOR to that time.
I swapped his ECBM in and I had the EXACT SAME issues! But it did free my original ECBM up to ship out...
Been away for a LONG while SOLD MY 64.. BUT I HAVE A NEW TOY....2002 BASE 6 SPEED, TORCH RED!
That is AFU... But I am now RETIRED so I have time to PLAY....
One of the many MANY issues the car has is the ignition switch.... It works, but the PO must have had a 20 lb load of keys on the ring.
I...
Without going into the WHY these are under the hood.. ( I believe the " thinking " was lost somewhere in the 80's )...
CURRENTLY:
M-20 transmission
14" Flywheel
11" 10 spline clutch
Lakewood scatter shield
My clutch was down to the rivets.. and the flywheel, pressure plate & driven disc are...
So after a long slumber in my garage, my 73 is back online ( almost ) .....
It had a bad case of sitting to long itis......
Long story short ( er )
Retired on 7/30/13 ( OH FRICKING YEAH PLAY TIME )
Took a week out and literally dug the 73 out of the garage...
New battery, drained fluids...
An OH BY THE WAY,,, my OLD rocker cover had no baffle for the PVC...
So any splash off the rocker itself got sucked into the PVC valve....
Oil burning, leaving a mess on the rear panel under the bumper solved~
( just didn't think it through ) DOH~
So considering I do not have enough room with the 461 to bring the engine into correct timing by just doing the " twist ".
AND the mission today is to put the chrome doghouse on AND have the timing correct!
( trying to get 4~10 degrees of range ), because there isn't much swing with the...
So my goodyear eagle ST's are just about done with dryrot.....
Currently on the car are 225/70/R15
I can get:
Cooper cobras $567.08 OTD ( mount, bal. alignment )
OR
BFG radial TA's for $ 663.08 ..
Thought's?
I'm feeling a bit weird about having no pass side side view mirror...
any thought's...
Who has installed Vintage air in their C2?
My 64 will never be a numbers matching show car, at best it will be a resto mod...
But I really REALLY want A/C....
I will try to keep the car as stock as possible.... but to re do ALL the A/C with year/ model correct will be 4K easy....
( and the car...
The short version....
The 64 has a 70 's ish 350 in it now...
Im putting the " correct " Bellhousing, flywheel 153 tooth and 10.5 clutch....
Is there a difference between the starter motor pinion gears?
Thanks
Mike

So I KNOW why my Optima was discharging..
The space between the header and the Optima ( which is like 5 inches )
The header generates enought heat.. to weaken the plastic....
When I pulled out mine today.. there was a heat stress mark and a little ball of lead poking out..like a blob of...

Hi Guys.....
I share this tale of woah!
In my 88, after a long day at work I started the car & the heat jammed on FULL BLAST! Of course it was still 90+ outside.... I tried changing all the settings ( economy, defrost et al ) and all the doors opened & closed as designed. When I got home the...
Well guys..I did a BAD THING.. I ignored my battery terminals for to long.
The 88's been in dry dock for a bit.. but I fired it up last week.. and went for a cruise.. the next day I took it to work to get it washed... when I got to my car ( around 6:30 ) I jumped in... turned the key... CLICK...
I know this has been written about before.. BUT~
