    A.C. Compressor Busted; but.

    The A.C. compressor on my C3 has gone bad and a new one is about to be installed. My question is; if I run the belt on the old compressor with the clutch switch off or disconnected, will the junk from the old compressor continue to dirty-up the rest of the system. I need to drive to the shop for...

    Help! Driver Side Door Will NOT Open

    I have the assembly manual and it looks as if you have to remove the fender to get to the hinges. That is if you cannot open the door!

    Help! Driver Side Door Will NOT Open

    That is right. The linkage that is in the final chain will not release the lever that opens that hook that goes around the stud. I looked on the passenger side to see how it operates. I cannot get the inside panel off to get to it manually.

    Help! Driver Side Door Will NOT Open

    1977 Corvette: The driver side door will not open. I could not get the door panel all of the way off, so I have been trying to unlock it down the window slot. It seems the last lever that finally releases the hook lock will not release it. I am writing about the jaws that go around the stud that...

    Advice Needed - Starters

    Starter Spring If you use the GM Starter be sure to use the replacement solenoid spring. The one that comes with the starter is not tempered enough and when it gets hot it will not fully engage. You will hear a clicking sound instead.

    Quadra-jet Connections-need help.

    That is a Edlebrock electric connection. You get it when you order the electric choke conversion for the Quardra-Jet. You may try Summit or Edelbrock for the female side.

    Fender Alignment Question

    The space or gap between the front leading edge of the door (right side) and the back of the fender is not even. The top space is wider than the bottom. The rear of the door and the rear fender is perfect. Is there away to fix this without tearing the fendaer off?

    Can't change my head lights!!. Question?

    I don't know if it will work, but sometimes if you turn the screw in the tighting direction, (clockwise) it will break the seal and you can then remove it. We use this method on Air Force aircraft. If it does not work, keep the doors down and the gas pedal up.

    MSD Ignition Advice

    Bob is right, I just replaced the coil I was using with the MSD 8525 coil which is a higher output (50,000 volt) coil. It still goes under the cap. No Module at all. This reminds me, that I also used the MSD HEI cap. It comes with a standard bushing and a bronze bushing. The tech at Summit told...

    MSD Ignition Advice

    I installed the 6A MSD box and with this box, you remove the stock or any other module you might be using. The tach plugs into the box and there was a improvment over the Accell coil and modual I was using. I mounted the box on the far. far side of the brake-booster. (1977) When I called Summit...

    MSD Ignition Advice

    Well I did not get any in-put from anyone, so I purchased the MSD 8525 HEI coil and dropped it in. Much, much better than the stock coil. Start-up is quicker and the motor seems to have smooth-out through the whole rpm range.
