    Cloth top removal and reinstall

    I'm going to put my hardtop back on the '92 and was wondering if there are any problems with removing the cloth top and reinstalling it. With the hardtop on and the top folded there is very little luggage space. It looks like there are only 4 bolts holding it on. Does anyone know if there...

    Help! Rethreading Alternator Mount in Exhaust

    A few weeks ago the lower alternator bolt backed out on my 300hp '67. The belt kept it from coming completely out. When I took it apart today to recheck everything I found that the threads in the exhaust manifold were pretty much gone. My guess is that it worked lose before and tore the threads...

    Does a factory C4 Hard top fit any year?

    I have the chance to buy a GM hard top from a '95 that I would like to put on my '92. Are they all the same? $1500 seems like a good deal, what do you think? ................... Griz

    01 vs 02 and up

    For those of you have had the opportunity, is there much difference between the 01 and 02 and up Z06s? I know they picked up 20hp, but that's not much at the near 400hp level. I've seen some 01's at pretty attractive prices and I like the body style ................Griz :lou

    Hood Bracing Separation

    Some of the glued joints between the outer and inner parts of the hood on my 67 are coming apart. What should I use as an adhesive?

    Strong Vibration in my '92

    Was on a cruise this week and had a recuring problem with my '92. In high gear (4 speed auto), light throttle, light pull, and about 1900-2000 rpm I get a tremendous vibration. The car almost shudders. It's done it before, but I really couldn't nail it down. Did a lot of follow the leader...

    67 Tail Lights

    My tail lights are a mess. 3 of them have reversed wiring. Bright filament for parking lights/dim filament for brakes. I was under there trying to pull plugs apart to see what could be done, but nothing came a part easily, so I thought I would stop before I ruined something. Has anyone put...

    Help - Head light Limiters

    I'm still working on the wiring on my 67. When I got to the head lights when I tried to pull the connector off the limiting switches they just broke off the tab. As I can't see down in there, I can only guess what they do based on their name. How do they function and can I use the lights...

    Help Wiring Harness

    I'm installing a new wiring harness in my 67. I'm doing the conections around the voltage regulator and there is a capacitor attached to the regulator that looked pretty bad so I thought I would take it off and steel wool it a little to get the rust off. Well of course when I was working on it...

    Brake Disc Crossover Parts

    Just replaced the discs from my '92 (standard brakes) with some from Baer and the ones I took off are not in bad shape. I was wondering if anyone knew what else they might fit so I could mark them for a swap meet. Same for the brake pads I would throw in. Wouldn't expect much money, but it...

    Master Cylinder Detail

    Another little detail that needs attended to on the Coupe is the master cylinder. It's a rusty mess. Should I paint it, if so what color? Use the paste that we use on the cast exhaust manifolds. Or just wire brush it and get it as clean as possible? What have the rest of you done, and/or what...

    Wiring Plug lube

    After a small electical fire under the hood of the coupe, I am replacing the entire wiring harness just to be safe. I want to clean up any plugs like the one in the firewall before I install the harness. I seem to remember talk about using a lube on plug-in connectors, but can't remember the...

    Starter to coil wire

    Some time ago on my '67 the 12v wire that runs from the starter to the coil shorted on the shielding and burnt some of the insulation off. I thought I got all the burned wire replaced but when looking for another problem I found more burnt insulation. I just disconnected the wire to prevent...

    Service ABS and ASR Lights Came On

    This spring I put new zo6 rims and D3s on my '92. Wanted new brakes because the old ones were so dirty and decided to flush the system with a power flusher. Ok, that was more than 1,000 miles ago. I figured by now the brakes should be bedded so I hit them real hard just to see if everything...

    Decaying Seat Belts

    I know there has been some disussion about the safety of older tires because of the natural decay of the rubber. Does anyone know it there is a similar problem with seat belts? I pulled on the belt in my '92 and I heard a stitch pop.

    67 Emergency Brake Handle Parts

    Used the emergency brake in my '67 the other day and when I got home I noticed the release button was gone. Looked all over, but can't find it. Windows were open for 2x60 air conditioning, it may have just flown out. Anyone have a handle I could strip for parts? Seems kind of silly to pay...

    Installing a Convertible Top

    Soon I will have to replace the top on my '92. Not because it leaks, it's just getting to look a little shabby. The more I work on the paint, add accessories and change the wheels the worse it looks in comparison. I've read some posts that say it is a terrible job and best left to the...

    Brake Flush to Replace with Silicone

    I took JohnZ's advice and put a little of my brake fluid from my '67 in a test tube with some water and all I got was a milky mix so I guess I have standard brake fluid. My question is are there any things I should be on the lookout for when flushing. Any special tricks? I have both a vacuum...

    Where are The GS fender stripes?

    Would someone be kind enough to measure down the fender to the stripes on their GS so I can place near where they should be and the correct angle. Thanks.................

    How Do I Maintain the Shine?

    I've spent the last week working on the paint of both the cars. Wash, clay, Meguiar's three step process, etc. I am for the most part pleased with the results. My question is now what? I wash the cars when they are dirty, and use a California Duster and detailer regularly for dust. I want to...
