Ok so a bracket question on the steering column

There is a gap between the column and the instrument cluster....
( Not quite sure how to communicate this )
The bracket on the column, that you see at the base of the cluster ( between speedo & tach ) are there different length brackets made for different years?
OR
Is there a difference between a stock column and a tilt tele in later years, as far as that bracket is concerned?

My bracket ( in a perfect world ) would need to be 1/2 " higher..

OR

Used 1963 1964 1965 1966 Corvette Steering Column to Pedal Assy Mounting Bracket | eBay

Maybe I'm missing that lower piece that works with the U bolt...

Thought's?

Mike, I clicked on the blue speedo in your post, and what I saw was DEFINITELY not the instrument cluster!

The joy of advertizing to keep the bills paid. We try to keep the intrusions at minimum but sometimes the links are ironic... otfl

[navy2kcoupe]

Ironic????? That's one way to put it, but I like hilarious much better! :L
Don't believe I ever saw one of those in the instrument cluster of ANY vehicle that I can recall.....

I missed it....it's not a link anymore. I can only imagine what it linked you to, with the word speed0.......don't really want to have it link again.

 

[vigman]

Hey I didn't do that!!!!

It was a link to Amazon for SPEEDOS ( mens shorts )

 

[Toms007]

Yea, I figured as much. As the dad of competition swimmers and swim team coach for many years, I'm well aware of what Speedos are.

Alrighty then... back on topic

I need 6 new tail light housings.....
I want Dual filament in each bulb...
I know the sleeve is cut ( which is part of the tail light housing ) for the lock pins on the bulb..
And the pins on the back of the housing accept the base socket...

So what else do I need to know... ( except who make a good one that will not break the bank )

Thanks
Mike

Guess who's 327 is missing a hole......

for the rear crank vent & potato masher...?

 

[haganml]

for the rear crank vent & potato masher...?

Must not be a 3782870 casting. I'm sure there are other castings that have the road draft tube crankcase ventilation. I hope so, I checked with Tracy Corvette in Michigan and they want $1,100.00 plus $250.00 shipping for a 870 block :ugh Sorry, out of my range! They will shave the block and re-stamp the numbers for $350.00. Just Checking!

That is what I have going. GMPP 350/290 is late crankcase ventilation.
