Thank you Tom! I will see what I can find on YouTube.

I have a 77 that has manual window control. It has become extremely hard to roll up and down the windows. Does anyone have a video of how to lubricate or replace all of the parts to get the windows working again. Thank you!

I had a feeling I would be told to get a new mechanic. The mechanic did tell me the leak was due to a worn shaft. I am not able to remove the transmission, so I need to find a mechanic/shop in the Orlando, Florida area to fix the leak. Do I simply tell the new mechanic to install a sleeve? Can...

I have77 with a 4-speed transmission. I took the car to a Corvette mechanic in Orlandoand paid them to take care of oil and transmission leaks. I returned the cartwice because it still leaked. I was later informed by the owner that all C3sleak and can’t be fixed. I was also told to “just keep...

Oddly enough it was not losing power. I started it yesterday and the gauge was steady and the lights were not flashing. I will start with testing the alternator. Thank you

Voltage regulator? Driving home last night the headlights and dash lights started flashing. Voltage regulator problem or alternator? Any ideas? Thanks

My car idled high sometimes. I drove it 2 miles and it idled around 1300 RPM at every stop. 30 minutes later it idled fine. Edlebrock carb.

Thank you for your recommendation. I will start with the local Corvette clubs today. I appreciate your response to my question.

Need to replace the windshield in my 77. I'm in the Orlando, Florida area. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

You are absolutely right. I took it to a well know body shop that specializes in Corvettes. He too was amazed to find how good the car looked and to see what was missing. Lucky for me I was able to locate a 77 that has the parts needed. The shop cut the entire corner off of the dash/firewall...

Thanks Bob! Anything will help!

Door/window mechanism rebuild So far, I have only been able to find a video, but the video showed the door after everything was removed... Looking forward to a few helpful posts.

Can anyone direct me to where I can find some very good and detailed directions on the steps to take to rebuild the window and internal door hardware, to include the door handle? I have a 77 that needs some window adjustments, door handle and lock (inside and out) adjustments. Many thanks.

I purchased this 1977 Corvette a year ago with most of my time and money spent on rebuilding the front end and rear end. When I purchased the car the horn was not working and I found that the pieces required to make the connection and sound the horn were missing. No big deal at the time. I...

Missing part of the right side firewall/cowl section Hello Joe, I purchased the GM assembly manual and found that the cowl section that extends the firewall is not missing, but is damaged. According the assembly manual, the section that is damaged is one piece that attaches to the firewall...

Missing cowl Joe, Thanks for the reply. I now understand what I dealing with. I do know of a Corvette place in town that should be able to help me out. We will see... Thanks again. Dan

Missing cowl Yes, I do know the car was damaged as I could tell that the passenger door did not align well and the body was repaired behind the kick panel on the same side. I did check underneath the car and found the frame to not be damaged at all. So, at some point in time the car had to be...

1977 Corvette. I have found that heat from the engine compartment is passing into the passenger compartment. I took the passenger door off to adjust some poorly installed shims and found when looking inside the front fender I could see a space between the firewall and the fender. I'm sure this...

Access to valve To gain access to the plunger switch that is actuated by the heater control cable from the console, do I only need to remove the dash to the right side of the console or do I need to remove center console too? My heat is constantly blowing and I do plan on installing cutoff...
