Hey CAC’ers,
I'm trying to decide what to do with the tires/wheels on my 70. Right now I have the stock rally wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires (225/70/15). Well these tires look great but to the best of my knowledge they’re over 20 years old so it’s time to replace them.
Here’s my...
Hey all,
A while ago I posted a topic about the kickdown switch not functioning on my TH400 transmission. Also, the reverse lights do not work on the car. And finally, the ignition key lock does not seem to work.

Hi all,
While going over all of the wiring on my car, I discovered that the kickdown switch that is attached to the gas pedal is disconnected (only on turbo 400 transmissions). I tested the switch to see if it works, and it does. However, I do not seem to be getting any current from the harness...
Hi all,
From previous posts concerning replacing rotors, I've learned how important it is to measure for runout. However, I am unsure how to do this myself? Could someone please explain this procedure in detail? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

...is the original color of my '70. I've been looking around in magazines, books, and online and have yet to find a nice, high quality picture of what this color actually looks like. I've seen some great greens and some not-so-great greens on Vettes, and I'm simply curious which one of those...
Hey all,
I have a 1970 Vette which rolled off the assembly line 34 years ago tomorrow (Feb 20). I am currently recovering my seats, which brings me to my question..

Hi all,
I've ran into some trouble on the first step of my interior restoration. I removed my rusted seat tracks from the seats for some sanding and painting. However, I can't seem to disassemble the track itself. I've looked at it with a trouble light, but can't seem to find what I need to do...
Merry Christmas Everyone,
Santa gave me a can of Rally wheel paint this morning. When I checked out the can, this is what it says:
"IN LATE 1969 TO EARLY 1971 THE RALLYE WHEEL WAS PAINTED A GREENISH SILVER. THIS PAINT MATCHES THE SILVER ON 1967-1969E & 1971L-1982 RALLYE WHEELS. "
I did not...

Hi all,
I've been shopping around for a '70-73 Vette over the past few months, and I am hoping some users here can help me out with this question:
