140....... Sorry I'm late.... White 1980

I third the motion here. Go with the new coupling. I replaced mine last Summer. The only trouble I encountered was trying to get the steering wheel straight when the car was driving straight. I had to loosen the coupling and fine tune it after a few road tests. Mark the shafts before you remove...

Larry, I had the same problem with my 1980. I posted the same problem back in May. :CAC member "Rpounds" gave me the following info and it worked perfect for me. :D The shift points are regulated by the "TV" cable connected to the carburator at the throttle lever. Some people would call this...

TR, Wow, a piece of history.:cool I can remember that happening to me once, many moon's ago. My problem was that my player ate one of my tapes. A piece of the tape wrapped itself around one of the drive wheels. You could hardly see it but it was there. It changed the timing because the diameter...

Hi, Try WWW.Edelbrock.com :) It has all the information you'll need for your carb. It tells you how to adjust your model and all the specifications. Hope that helps.;) :w Kenny

Yea John I agree. I just spent about 2 hours removing the old coupling. It was a real pain.:bang Tomorrow I'm going to the local Vette shop and get a new one. I hope it goes together easier then it came apart.:crazy :w Kenny

Thanks for the reply Eric and Dave. :D I found some information in case anyone else was interested.:bu Flexible coupling -- A part of the steering mechanism between the steering column and the steering gear or rack-and-pinion assembly. Also called a rag joint or steering coupling disc...

What is the purpose of the rubber coupling in the steering column, right before the steering box? I think it is called "rag joint", but I'm not sure. ;shrug After my 1980 started wandering on the road a bit, I started checking the steering and found the rag joint was split and the coupling was...

Thanks everyone! I could never get my windows perfect until I read this post. I ran out and bought Stoners Invisible Glass. WOW!!! :BOW It made my windshield disappear. I am sold. Thanks again! :w Kenny

Welcome Dean, I'm from Berks County. We are practically Neighbors. :D I too, always wanted a vette. A C3. I told my wife, when the kids grow up, I'm getting one. When my last son graduated, it was now my turn.:Steer The :CAC is the best place to find information. I have learned so much from...

Wow! That's great!:v That sounds terrific. ;worship I have the same sidepipes on mine. :gap They are really sharp:bu :w Kenny

Very interesting Bob. Well done! :upthumbs :w Kenny

WOW Thanks Ron, ;worship I adjusted the cable just as you said. What a difference, Its shifting perfect now. I can't believe it! :Steer I feel like I have a new transmission. Thanks a million. The:CAC is the best. Kenny

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I have a great CD player and good speakers. I don't ever use it. The sound of the sidepipes roaring is the best music I've ever heard. I can't get enough.:Steer Good Luck with your exhaust.:D Go For It! :upthumbs :w Kenny

Thanks for the help. I know a lot more now than I did a couple of days ago. I am going to check and adjust the things that were mentioned. Thanks again everyone!:D PS, 1BAD80, The links were great!:bu :v Kenny

Thanks for the Idea's. It might be more than I can handle. The engine was replaced by the previous owner. I am not sure if the transmition is the original or not. The only numbers I can see without jacking it up are Y7S 03D stamped on the right side of the fluid pan. I found what I think is...

Hi, I need some Help. How does an automatic transmission know when to shift? My 1980 seems to shift real quick when I pull out. It goes right through the gears with only a couple of seconds in between. Seems like I'm not getting the most out of my gears. The downshift cable attached to the...

Happened to me one time. I know, its scary when you are on the back roads. Mine was easy. I poped the hood and found the linkage had jammed. If you want to troubleshoot it, I would take it out on a straight highway and punch it. At least you will be prepared to shut it down and pull off onto the...

Hammer, I have Cat. #133C. This is the first time I have seen it in a catalog. I went to Mid America's web site and put the part number (602-134) in search, but it did not find anything. I'm confused. It has a nice picture in the catalog I have. There web site must not be updated.;shrug :w...

Hammer, I saw a tinted preformed Lexan insert that fits inside the rear window of a 1978-82. Says it filters the suns rays and can be easily removed and reinstalled for cleaning. $99.99 in the last Mid America catalog I received. I was thinking about it for my '80. I don't know how good it...
