Hello there everyone. So I finally got around to fixing up my headlights, they now go up and down in totally cool vacuum enduced slowmotion (woohoo!!! :D). So now I can drive at night. And I got the wiper door partially working. Partially as in: Wiper door will not go up. When I...

Hello there. I would like to retrofit a new tach that has an electronic tach drive. Is this possible? The end result I desire is that the tach looks original. As allways, any help is appreciated :) Nik.

Hey ladies and gents. I was advised to change to an electronic ignition system as my current one is having a crap and is killing me inside :( Now, I don't fear reconditioned stuff. Is it a good idea to get a reconditioned electronic ignition or better to get new for this kind of thing? And...

Ok, today I decided to do a compression test and everything worked out consistantly for that. Then I decided to change the spark plugs and the distributor wires (if thats their correct term ie. the wires that go from the distributor to the spark plugs). Now, the car runs smoother, but I...

was just wonderng if it was possible to get a slightly smaller (maybe 2 inches) steering wheel for my '69. Reason being, it is quite hard for me to get in/out of the car even with tilt/tele. :( Its not much of a bummer if i cant, but it would be damn nice :)

hello again. Ok, so I decided to try and start the easy way first... Took off the drivers side t-top, and started to work on taking off all the rubber strip... My main concern is as follows: Upon (finally) taking off all the strip, I found there were metal peices "inside" the strip...

Hello people, My father bought a 1980 3 speed auto a while back, and he'd really like to upgrade to a 4 speed auto. Does anyone have any guides/information regarding this issue? I have searched this forum and google but to no avail. Any help is appreciated :)

I have the following options for weatherstrip kits: Corvette Central (deluxe kit) @ $354.95 The Last Detail (deluxe kit) @ $250.00 The main difference appears to be TLD's lack of a rear window wstrip peice. My query is regarding TLD and it's service. Are they any good? And has...

Ok, this is just a query. Now, I personally havn't changed the oil for my vette yet. I have had it serviced while its had its brakes replaced. So, how would I know by sight/smell/taste/whatever if my oil is regular or synthetic? And is the rule "You can safely change to regular from...

getting tuned up... and it just started snowing. No doubt, they will lay salt on the roads if they havn't already (caught a train today). So before I store the woman for winter, I was wondering what lengths I should go to before I put that cover on. Any tips on cleaning all the crap off will...

i fear the wet.... when i wash my car i get a bit of water inside... so im going to completely redo all the weatherstripping. Now, I have spotted some stripping from corvette central, who as usual, are cheaper than ecklers. Here is what I can get: Delux Coupe Weatherstripping Set 343080...

When I read of people wanting to do something that has anything to do with electrical parts in cars, the gauges etc, I hear people say "disconnect the negative terminal". Is there any reason why its always the negative terminal? I have a kill switch on my battery which I think is on the...

Yeah, I know, seat belts have been mentioned before. I did a search of the forums though and can't find the information I want. I don't like the design of my current belts (the ones where you have to connect both belts at the buckle), and I don't feel too safe in them. Is it possible to...

I want to change the cam in my vette to the older & original one. The original one is in perfect nick so I don't see what the problem could be with doing it. Anyway, my dad is quite experienced in engines so we were just wondering, what would it entail in order to do the cam change ourselves...

hmm thats what my car sounds like at the moment. I'm taking it to a place to get properly tuned up in two weeks, what would you reccomend I should do beforehand? Or is there something else I should look at. My dad says its carbon burning or something misfiring, any ideas? Will pay whatever it...

was just wondering if it was possible to put a sub and enclosure, as well as 6x9's (or similar) in the back of a 69? See, I just want something like an infinity 8" or 10" so that I have decent bass. My main concern is securing the sub without having to drill holes. This is for peace of mind...

howdy :) I recenlty received a replacement for my rear vision mirror on the drivers side. I was wondering, do I have to remove the interior door panel in order to screw it in? Or is there a fixed thingy in the door that allows me to just do it in a few mins? And, I want to install a mirror on...

My dad spotted a 1980 vette and I was wondering what you'd spend on a real good condition inside and out vette. The interior must have recently been redone as he says its in really good condition, and the paint has obviously been redone due to the quality of the finish. It has 45000 miles and...
