    Tie Rod Install

    My buddy is very meticulously restoring a 1969 big block. He cannot find anything that says which way the tie rods are installed. There are, of course, left hand and right hand thread ends on the tie rods. He wants to know if the right-hand threads go toward the outboard or inboard. Thanks in...

    CD ejects every time I power on the radio

    1996 with original Bose Gold system. Unit has not seen much use, the car is garaged 99% of the time. If I have a cd in the unit and I turn on the radio the cd ejects. If the radio is on when I start the car, the cd ejects. Anybody else experience this? Thanks

    Magazine ad said it perfectly...

    Can anyone tell me the source, or where to get a suitable for framing copy? It hits the nail right on the head for me. I cannot remember the web site where I got this image. And the quality just isn't there for framing. Thanks in advance for the help

    Brake Pads

    It's time for brakes. What brand of pads do you guys recommend? I'd like some degree of high performance, but I want low-dust and nothing that's going to wear the rotors faster. Purely street use. Tell me what brands you like or dislike. Many Thanks!

    After about 6+ hours work the old pump is out. Had one heck of a time with the middle bolt on the drivers side.

    Water pump already?

    Water pump is seeping just a little and the belt is throwing a line of coolant up under the hood. I didn't think at 31K miles I would be in for this, but maybe it is because the car sits for long thru the winters here?? It seems to stop after the engine warms up. But, I guess I'll do the safe...

    Crawling Salt !

    I park the daily driver in a two-car garage next to the vette which is hibernating. The problem is, during the winter months in Ohio, the roads are salted to the max. The wet salt drips onto the floor and seems to grow crystals when it dries which creep across the floor and into the vette's...

    Gasoline Odor?

    After cruising an hour or so, I get intermittent whiffs of gasoline odor. Last time when I got home, I sniffed around and found it was originating at the gas cap. I know it is supposed to hold pressure and it seems to do that, as evidenced by the release of pressure when I open it at fill-up...

    Wheel Cleaners

    What is the best, and safest to use, spray-on wheel cleaner on the market? There are warnings on most of the labels about testing for hazing and discoloration. Specifically, I am looking for a wheel cleaner to use on the coated aluminum "sawblades". Thanks in advance.

    Climate control buttons

    Can anyone tell me why the buttons on the electronic climate control panel don't always light up? The system works fine otherwise. Problem is that MOST of the time the buttons don't light. Thanks.
