    Help! RFI: I'm stupid - where's the headlight breaker/fuse on a '75?

    IT turns out I really *DID* blow all four headlights at once I posted RFI's nearly simultaneously at two 'vette sites, and CAC responded with the most detail, so I'll put the original here first. The wiring and switch are intact...after pulling and testing all four headlights, I really *did*...

    Help! RFI: I'm stupid - where's the headlight breaker/fuse on a '75?

    After a series of alternator malfunctions on my highly modified - I only have the "no headlight option" still eneabled. I pulled the breaker on the panel and got a new one, only to find out "Acc" means "Power Windows". When my dysfunctional alternator hit 19V the other day it popped the...

    Question: Electric Fuel Pump/Bypass Regulator Options

    Wow. It's been awhile since I was here much - but I started getting my beastie going in November to December, in what's been a $7-8K three season most-of-car repair or upgrade, instead of a $1750 month long install-the-new-motor project. One of the many things new to this edition of Burnham's...

    parting out a 75 vette

    How about the window mech/motor, passenger side? I'd consider the whole door, possibly, but think my mech is a little bent up and the motor is definitely cooked (again!) This silly project thingy will have it's motor w/i the month, so I could kinda use the window to, like, move and stuff... :)...

    Advise Req: 18x9.5 or 18x8 Wheels on '75

    Hey all I know this has been covered a billion times (not even sure if it shouldn't be on C3 Reg. Forum): I finally re-engine my puppy this weekend and have the funds now to finish this project to a good medium stage - so, with the new OD and motor, I need better tires and the wheels to...

    See if you guess what I find wrong tomorrow

    Sorry for the superdelayed reply.... Computer (and financial) problems went nuclear for most of the month....well, at least the computer is patched up now! 1)Yeah, the new fuel pump rod is bronze, but the old one was a lightened Moroso number that should never have harmed a cast iron (or...

    Elusive engine miss revisited to New Motor

    Sorry to hear that guy....I had really good service out of the ultracheapy GoodWrench engine....unlike this POS I have now that we still haven't found the problem of.... The next few steps up one you're looking at seems to be a very good deal. If that thing of yours is down already.....and...

    Mono leaf spring

    There is some "stock" thing....I didn't have it.... I used about 5 feet or so (really not sure) of some 2" header wrap I had laying around, some aluminum tape (just for positioning), some aluminum "flashing" (the construction thin al sheet), and a fist full of zip ties (hose clamps or those...

    Signal Flasher

    Not sure, except I found one sorta dangling....over under the passenger side near the heater works....have no idea if this was as it was supposed to be or not. There usually are two flashers. Another place to look is deep up under the passenger or center (do you have 2 or 3?) rear...

    Mono leaf spring

    Mine came with a monoleaf that was too soft... then I put on a heavier metal. One spring hanger broke, wrecking that,a nd I put on the whole dual mount rear monoleaf thing from VBP. I like it on the second to harshest (I drive on a lot of bad roads.) Remember only with the fiberspring you...

    79' L-89 need help!

    Welcome aboard! Never too young to get into real cars! That's not that great a price for a pretty standard vette. Pretty much any recent (last 5-10 years) factory crate motor (the classic "GoodWrench Target Motor") developed more power than the L82 of that year (another 350.) These were...

    Swerve on acceleration

    Not specifically.....after losing a wheel, I always worry about rear bearings.... but that doesn't sound right here. If you can see something visually misaligned, then $60 at the alignment shop is called for right off. While it's up on the rack if you've never changed the fluid, do so with...

    Help, need some expert advice.

    I posted on your CF question - but w/ shroud or not the e-fans use a DIFFERENT shroud. Since e-fans are mounted as close as possible to the radiator surface, if you use a shroud with one, it's of a considerably different (and more friendly) design than the original. The SPAL/DeWitts one has...
