A few weeks ago I added relays to my headlight circuit to help brighten the lights for night driving. It definately helped. But now I notice my tail lights are out. I have break lights and directionals but no tail lights. I assumed they were OK before. I got an inspection sticker with no problem...

This is my first try at posting a picture. I bought my 65 in April of 2001. The picture is about 1 year old and since then I've lowered the rear about 2" using longer bolts on the rear fiberglas spring. So it sits a little better now than in the picture. Although it's not a stock look I...

Unfortunately my oldtimers is kicking in. I'm in the process of putting all the inside trim back in around the windshield. The drivers side visor next to the mirror has a stud sticking out where I would think a screw would go. I took it apart a few months ago and C.R.S. Seems to me Barry K or...

Every time I get under my car I have these ugly rusty brake shield staring at me. Overall it's pretty clean under there. I have a no rust painted frame with relatively new suspension parts, but the brake shields are a mess. How big a deal is it to change them. A few years ago I had never worked...

Christmas eve day was pretty nice up here in MA so I thought while I had an hour to spare I would go for a quick ride. The car hadn't been started in a week or so but it started reasonably quick. After it started I noticed it was making a funny noise. I tried to isolate it but I couldn't tell...

Gentlemen, I've done a search on windshield install and found valuable information from both of you and feel I can do the install this winter with confidence. I bought new trim and clips which I badly needed. But I do have concerns about the gasket from LIC I bought after reading Bob's...

I usualy drive my family car to work but that was being serviced today so I had to drive the 65 coupe. Ordinaraly that wouldn't be an issue but today they were calling for some rain, Well we haven't had any rain in weeks and of course today we had probably 2-3". I found out quickly on the way...

After seeing several CAC members awesome cars at Carlisle I came back with a new commitment to take my 65 to the next level. I purchased my coupe in 2000 and made many changes to make it a good driver but after seeing so many great cars I feel rejuvinated to make some needed changes I've been...

Although I don't post as frequent as alot of you guys I do read the post daily so I feel that I'm familiar with each of your cars and the things that you've done to them especialy VNV, 67Heaven, Barry, etc. I've been to Carlisle the last couple of years and have seen your beatiful cars at the...

Has anyone converted their brakes over to power brakes? Is it just a matter of buying a power booster and changing over a few brake line? I've had a few close calls over the last few years when the brakes just barely stopped me in time. The pads are fine and everything is up to par but it just...

Whenever I cut the wheel sharp to the right like when I pull into or out of a parking space my tire rubs against the passengers side front fender. It only happens on that side when I cut the wheel sharp. When I was adding my after market power steering could I have put something back on the...

I let someone on one of the Corvette forums borrow my Muncie Rebuild Video several months ago and can't remember who. I could look through my UPS receipts but rather than spend an hour going through papers I thought I'd ask first. I have a friend who would like to borrow it now so if you are the...

I am looking into having my rear bumpers on my 65 rechromed. At Carlisle last year the prices were a few hundred dollars each side and a local guy quoted $ 225.00 each. I did a web search and a guy in the mid west quoted me $70.00 each. I'm tempted to try him but it sounds to low compared to the...

I got my KYB "Gas-A-Just shocks delivered and have two questions. 1. Some where on the internet I read the torque spec for bolting in the shocks and I'll be darned if I can find it again. Seems to me it was 60 ft lbs. Does anyone know ? (I did get an answer on the torque question from someone...

Does anyone have an opinion on Optima batteries from past experience Good or Bad I looked at the #34/78 with 800 CCA and was tempted to buy it for $ 119.00 but thought I would hold out and see what you folks think. Disregard price I'm only interested in quality and reliability compared to other...

I hadn't started my 65 for about a month because I was doing some repairs. When I tried to start it Saturday the battery was dead. I jumped the car with my other car and it started up after a few cranks. I went down the street about a 1/4 mile and when I let off the gas pedal it just shut down...

I'm in the process of rebuilding the clutch and brake pedals. Everything is going back in place smoothly except the brake pedal has two holes in it and I don't remember whether it was the top hole or bottom hole that the clevis rod went to. Is there a reason for two holes. I don't have power...

Does anyone know where I can purchase the bolts that are used to bolt the clutch to the flywheel? My vette was apart all winter long and when I was reassembling everything I misplaced the bolts for the clutch. So I figured I'm putting in a new clutch I might as well buy new Grade 8 bolts. It...

I converted my 65 master cylnder over to a dual system. Before I did the brakes always took forever to bleed. Now that I have a dual system I thought it wouldn't take so long but it still takes hours. I start at the drivers front wheel , then the passengers front, then the drivers rear wheel...

I purchased a new Centerforce ll clutch package for my 65. The engine is not original. When I purchased the car last year it had a 350 engine with a scatter field bellhousing. I plan on keeping the same bell housing I just want to change the clutch over to the Centerforce because the old clutch...
