new parts If Chevrolet did change the way they made the lower parts without the hole I must of received old parts manufactured before they changed making them without the hole. I bought my new parts from my local Chevy parts counter in 1986.

windshield Sure hope your windshield framing does not need attention because of rust. I took my 1970 to a shop in 1986 to have a new windshield. I watched the removal and saw all the rust in the windshield frame. Drove it home without the windshield and replaced the two lower corners, upper two...

fuel filler bolt torque Looked up the torque, it is 40 inch pounds for the fuel filler bolts. The fue lines connecting to the fuel flller were not an easy removal. These fuel lines would be expensive to replace.

fuel filler gasket Getting a new gasket you will pay a very good price from Chevrolet parts. Still do not understand why GM raised the price so high. First one I bought was reasonable in the 90's. I even wrote GM a letter asking why such a high price for a simple thin gasket. Another item, the...

1441 I have never had this code on my 1996 LT4, however I did get the 1441 code on my 1996 Monte Carlo this summer. I cleared the code and drove it. I cleared the code 2 or 3 more times and since about a month ago have not had this code appear. Hope it stays away. Clearing a code takes less...

1996 LT4 crankshaft position sensor trebor, did you replace the o-ring seal on your LT4's crankshaft position sensor? Do remember what procedure you used to access the removal and installation? I am going to replace the seal on my LT4 next week, or try to. If you replaced your o-ring did it...

carpet place I got the rear carpet for my 1985 Corvette in 1992 or 1993 and it came from GM.

carpet When I replaced the rear carpet in my 1985 Corvette I did not use any glue.

bolt snap How much of the bolt is in the engine? All of it? With the bolt snapping and all threaded bolt in the engine block, there is a pressure being applied what is left in the engine. Have you tried getting it out based on no pressure, just part of a bolt threaded into the engine? A very...

1985 Air conditioner When using the 85's air conditioner when does the fan come on? Did your 85 come from the factory with a fan also in front of the radiator?

Covette Air Conditioning I have been researching why the air conditioning in my 1996 with the C-68 electronic type control blows air out the floor vents and defroster vents. From what I understand about my problem is a vacuum problem connection on the controller module where all the vacuum...

1970 convertible Is the Holley carburetor a spread bore Holley 650 double pumper with the stamping of 6210? I bought one of these for my 1970 in 1974, paid $64.00 for a new one. Any history of how the crack on the right front occurred? 1970 Corvette convertible with 4-speed is a desirable C3...

79 C3 tack I do not have any experience with the C3's electric tack. I do know that there is a inline filter that can be replaced and the electric board cards for the electric tack are available from the Corvette parts venders.

side terminal Thanks for the information, now I know how many ft pounds to tighten my side terminals

1980 Vette If it was mine I would try E-Bay and Craigs and even NCRS. The 4-speed is a definite attraction, having base engine and not the L-82 would not matter. I would not be in a hurry and selling for a give away price for garage kept Corvette.

1980 4-speed Why did the 4-speed have to be rebuilt with the low mileage on your Corvette?

Dot5 I have used DOT5 silicone brake fluid in my 1969 and 1970 Corvettes for over 25 years now. What amazes me is how clean looking the fluid has remained in the master cylinders, I can actually see the bottom of the brake's master cylinders cavities after all the years of use.

1970 Wish I had known what I learned later about alternators for my original owner 1970. My 70's original alternator failed a few months after I bought it and it was under warranty and I did what most would of done in 1970, let the dealer replace it. The alternator the dealership put on was a...
