I've seen it stated that if there's a crack in the carrier, say from the edge of one of the access openings in the side, that it automatically makes the carrier junk, that the crack can't be welded. If you agree, why is this? If you disagree, why so?
Has anyone here successfully welded a...
Looking to install an AEM air/fuel gauge, how do I identify a key-on hot wire on my '80? Or any suggestions as to what a typical specific connection point for one is?
Thanks!
A guy at a local speed shop insisted that a Weiand 142 is going to add around 200 hp at 6 lbs of boost on a 350 crate motor that's supposed to be rated at 355 hp. I haven't put the car on a dyno yet, what I've read about a 142 is that it's good for somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 - 100...
If I shoot cleaner like Purple Stuff, Simple Green etc. all over the rear wheel assemblies, then give a solid rinsing with a water stream from various angles, is bearing contamination a concern?
What are these on the underside of the rear bumper bar?
Not my '80 but mine has them too, there are two of them on the underside of the rear bumper bar. They must be there for a reason.

Edit - got this answer elsewhere.
I have the straps off the joints, what do you suggest as the next step in getting them out? What else needs to be disconnected? I've heard some say the strut rods don't need to come out but I don't see how that could be. Below are pics of my setup.
Thanks.
Candy colors are affected by the base color - however does the base color matter with an acrylic enamel as well?
For example if you have a darker non-candy metallic blue acrylic enamel, would laying down an initial coat of bright silver have an impact on the look? Folks at the local auto paint...
Found this on Ebay in the Sold items. Has 10,500 crossed out and "Best Offer Accepted", so assuming they got it for under 10k.
Highlights are that it's a '79 with a 454. Car's been through a frame-off with photo documentation with a built motor. Per the description there's still some things to...
Ignoring potential resale/collector value is there anything outstanding from an engineering, comfort, driveability standpoint that makes any year in this range superior to the others? I left out '72 - '73 because of the diminished performance but include those too if you really think there's...
As thin as they are do they provide any real "bump" protection against anything beyond a shopping cart or bicycle or are they as they appear to be just trim?
Back in the yesteryear my brother in his mid-70's LeMans and me in my '66 Fairlane wagon would horse around bumping each other from...
I've bought used cars before, exclusively from private sellers but never a car like a Vette. Have you generally been able to get a Vette for less than the asking price? Ever gotten someone to come down even when they state "Price is firm/non-negotiable"?
If so what worked to your advantage...
I'm anticipating getting a C3 and I've been looking at various websites, trying to get a feel for prices, trying to become educated on what to look for - such as frame and birdcage rust.
Any sources or websites you favor? Any you feel should be steered clear of?
Ever bought a Vette...
The title pretty much says it - is this a structural issue on Vettes besides the C3?
Clarification after csherman's reply below - was it present on generations after the C3?
Thinking about getting a C3. 74 - 82 seem more affordable in general. Is there anything particularly outstanding or problematic with a particular year C3 that you think is noteworthy, things I should be wary of?
I might look to drop a big block into one - are the drivetrain considerations...
