Well NJ's hot & humid summer weather has returned, and I notice a considerable amount of condensation on the exposed metal A/C piping in the '96 engine compartment. Would the blown air in the interior be any colder if I were to put some pipe insulation on the piping to slow down thermal energy...

Any suggestions as to a source for the plastic line supports / restraints for the fuel / return lines, & the 4 brake lines that go between the front and the ABS units? They have a hole in middle that fits over a stud just inside the unibody..Looked in the usual spots to no avail... Thanks

Picked the vette up about 6 weeks ago, just got it up on a lift to snoop around, and I came away at least 1 silly question. What color was the stock LT-4 short block painted? Not a crisis, really, just "used" toseeing Chevy's Moly Orange & Blue..

I'm about to dive into fine tuning the carb on my mildly moded 72 454 with a LM-1 Wideband O2 AFM setup. A couple of local sages have opinioned that the Holley Squarebore 600 CFM carb might be too small for the engine. As we discussed it, they focused on how much the throttleplates would need...

Anyone have one they want to get rid of? Or perhaps trade for a Torker II I have on the car now? NJ BB Ken

Ok, I'm thinking I'm so far in to this problem that I can't see the forest for the trees. My 72 coupe sat for about 6 years, and as I awoke it, the brakes had disappeared. Translation: pedal went to floor, no braking at all. Ok, so I rebuilt all 4 calipers, installing VB&P's O ring conversation...

I picked up a set of Prothane Poly rear stabilizer link bushings for my 72 BB, as the stock rubber has about disintegrated. My simple question is has anyone installed these puppies? I can't seem to figure out how the poly part is pressed into the bar end hole, and the hole in link. A straight...

After too many years of hibernation, I have begun the recesitation of my 72 BB. I was under the car last night and was looking at the fuel pump, in order to assess how much work it will be to replace. Even by removing the steering rods, I'm a little stumped at how to gain access to the...

Does anyone know of any sources for a towing hitch for a 72? I checked the Google results, and so far nothing. Since I plan to tow at worst a M/C trailer, a Class 1 would do just fine, although I would prefer a Class 2. I had a hitch on my 67, it bolted to the bumper mounting bolts and the...

Loopking for a electronic Tach to retrofit my 72 to use the HEI distributor. Edelbrock EFI needs a HEI distributor. Thanks :beer

Has anyone tried to convert a early 70-ish tach from mechanical drive to the later electronic versions by adding the movement and circuit board? I'm looking at the Edelbrock Performer EFI setup for my 72 454, and it requires a HEI distributor. I beleive when GM went to the HEI distributor on...

Anyone aware of a source of a set of "shorty" headers for a 72 BB? I looking for headers that have the collector end where the stock exhast manifolds end. This way, I can use stock pipes with the headers.:beer

Does anyone know for sure if this engine can use unleaded as is, or does it need the harded valve seats installed in the heads?:beer

Question for the group. I'm pondering adding an aftermarket TPI FI system to my 72 LS-5. Would an aftermarket hood provide enough clearence for the air cleaner? :beer
