    Stock Headlight Restoration

    I may have an opportunity to purchase a 1972 convertible. The selling price is right. I'm told the frame is solid, the motor matches the vin. I'd have to verify transmission and rear end.

    Stamp Pad accessibility

    I'm looking at maybe aquiring an 82. I've looked at many stamp pads, but not on anything this new. My question is, how accessible is this location? Are there accessories or brackets in the way. From looking pics looks like AC is obstructing the view.

    2004 Chevy Silverado gauge problems

    I'm not sure if I've asked before. About a year ago, I noticed my oil pressure gauge acting erratic. Sometimes it would read 0, sometimes it would peg past 80. I notice that when this happens, during restart the gauge does not reset back to 0 before reading. Ok, so I've dealt with that issue...

    I may have created a new addiction!

    I took a coworker for a ride yesterday. It was his first time in a corvette. He told me from the beginning that I didn't need to prove the car to him and he was just interested in a ride. We started out smooth and easy, just a nice cruise. Once the temps came up, I took advantage of some nice...

    Spark Retard - When it actually happens?

    I'm working on a tune for my setup. My work lately has involved eliminating spark retard. I'm working on my timing curve, and at the point where I see the ECM start retarding timing, the knock event must occur before that, right? I believe it must take some time for the ECM to identify and take...
