The oil > filler cap is not involved. > Noland - I referred to your coverage of RPO 242 before responding, which is excellent (including all the running changes in the hoses and fittings); this system was the beginning of the learning curve for crankcase ventilation systems, which draw in outside air (the "intake" side of the system), pull it through the crankcase to pick up the hot vapors and moisture from blow-by, and suck it out (the "exhaust" side of the system) through the adapter, hoses, and PCV valve into the intake manifold where it's mixed with the fresh intake charge and burned - the PCV valve (spring-loaded one-way check valve) meters the flow of those hot vapors based on the level of intake manifold vacuum. Without an "intake" point for outside air, the "exhaust" (PCV valve) side of the system won't pull any crankcase vapors into the manifold; the only fresh air "intake" point available on PCV-equipped '61-'62 Corvettes was the oil fill tube (the only opening to the crankcase besides the adapter at the rear of the block), and it would have to have a vented cap in order to admit air, just as pre-'62 Corvettes had (except their "exhaust" for crankcase vapors was the road draft tube, whose end was shaped to create a negative pressure when the car was moving in order to draw air through the crankcase). The exception to this on the pre-'62 cars was the non-vented cap released as a running change on '57 and later solid-lifter engines, replacing the production vented cap, due to complaints from the road-racers about "blowing oil" (vapors) out of the vented cap "during sustained high-rpm operation"; this change wasn't made for Engineering reasons - it was made to stop the racers' complaints, as it effectively disabled the ventilation function of the road draft tube, except as a blow-by pressure relief device (no intake, no "flow" through the crankcase). Starting in 1963, the configuration of the PCV system was integrated into the engine design, with the "intake" point being the air cleaner, then into the adapter tube in the back of the block into the crankcase, and the "exhaust" point was the oil fill tube, which had a sealed cap and a fitting with a hose to the carburetor (some engines had an orifice in a fitting to meter flow, and others had various forms of PCV valves). The 1963 system was backwards (intake from the air cleaner to the oil flll tube, exhaust from the adapter at the back of the block into the carb base), but worked the same way - the design standardized in 1964, and remained that way until 1969, when the hole in the back of the block and the oil fill tube disappeared, and the intake and exhaust locations were integrated into the valve covers instead. If we could find absolutely unmolested 1962's, I'd bet a steak dinner that all of them had vented caps, RPO 242 or not; both ventilation systems (road draft tube or RPO 242 PCV "exhaust" side) require a fresh air intake point in order to function, solid lifters or not, and RPO 242 was developed for California, where its crankcase ventilation function was expected to work. The deviation for "non-vented caps for the racers" on solid-lifter engines may still have been in effect for the 340/360hp engines, but who knows 40 years later - it's easy to swap oil fill caps. Ain't this fun?

Yes, I've been successful doing that, but make sure that the side of the pin boss is firmly supported and square in the press. Also, make sure that you don't collapse the pin retainer groove. With new pistons, the pin is round and the pin bore is round also, and has proper lubrication, so therefore, there is a reasonable chance of success. Perhaps the machine shop ought to redo it. If they mess it up, then they still owe you new, properly fitted pistons.

It`s strictly for pistons, Never use a wheel bearing press as they cannot really do the job correctly and could mess everything up. After apart, assembly is best suited with a rod heater.

Right now the only decent rockers available are the 68-69 design, and the 70-77 design. All the midyear rockers are JUNK right now. We have seen them, ordered them and sent them back to the manufacturer. The 65 rockers were what we typically call friendly rockers. They had more wave's in them than the ocean! The side exhaust rocker is a nice part but un-like the GM p/n 3866846 they do not come with the hardware or the retainer. We talked with the manufacturer about this problem and they tell me that they keep selling them.... and then added theat they keep getting them back! Go figure?

Here is the plan; Please don't hesitate to tell me where we might be going wrong. Approaching paint prep completion, about 85% of the car is still covered with the 15 year old Featherfill Polyester primer. The body doesn't seem to have any problems in this area. The only (stress) cracks are around the trunk, deck, dash and hood openings that might have resulted from the glass being "resin rich" in these areas of the original molds. These areas have been ground out and replaced with new glass. Epoxy polyester primer is to be PCL 901. Wait a minimum 3 weeks and see if any surprises appear. Base coat to be Dupont Chroma Base #G9900S. Clear coat to be Dupont #2100S. We're reluctant to remove the old Featherfill polyester primer because it has already been contoured to fill many of the original body irregularities and it doesn't seem worthwhile to redo this again. John from Ventura 57/270 >John, >I wouldn't be shy about getting rid of the featherfill (and the primer on >top of it) altogether. I know a lot of people love it and get good results, >but it is not meant for all over jobs (and, from memory, said so on the data >sheets) and introduces a fair amount of shrinkage. I know it looks great >and fills well, but it sands so well because it is fairly porous, hence >shrinkage. Especially if it is old, I wouldn't mind getting it out of there. >If you need to fill something, I'd favor spray gelcoat (awful to work, but >gives outstanding results). If not, I'd just go to a good epoxy primer. >All of the new generation paints are so good I have almost no brand >preference, but just try to stick with the same primer and topcoats, as you >don't want to have to introduce the additional thickness of a sealer coat. >Good luck.

I don't think the top weighs more than 75 pounds as my 12 year old daughter helps me put it on and off the car. But one word of advice, don't let the rope come off either of the pullies as you'll have a heck of a time getting them back on (I know as I cut the rope too short to fasten to the wall).

The only thing that didn't end up well, was the steel speedometer driving gear which was all crushed from a former "rebuilt". What's the difference between between the plastic gears and the steel gears? On my 69 Z11 Camaro I had the speedometer driving gear (plastic one) fixed with a clip to the shaft. (muncie) On the 68'vette it's a steel one and pressed on the shaft.(also muncie) Where can I get a spare speedometer driving gear? Are there several sizes or only one? What could be the correct color for the new speedometer gear (black w/ 23 teeth)? I'm changing the rear end from 4.11:1 to 3.55:1 Thanks for your help!

My engine with RPO 242 has a vented cap and the little cone shaped can thing (Crankcase vent adapter according to the General) and I was confused by the fact that the vendors who sell replacement caps list the non-vented cap for "all with mech lifters"....which obviously isn't correct!! Once again, your expertise has proved to me that I'm not crazy. Many thanks for that. The 340HP RE engine I have isn't in the car right now, as I try to collect everything to make it NCRS "original" conformation. Currently a 1974 350 is in the car and I arranged the PCV system exactly as Tom described it, fresh air from inside the air cleaner enters the RH valve cover and the PCV valve lives in the LH valve cover grommet, connected to a vacuum port in the carb base.(The layout is what I remember I had on my 1969 L46(350HP) engine and which I hadrecommended to someone on the list who asked how to deal with a 350 with no road draft tube opening for their C1. Many thanks also to those who replied regarding dash cluster removal for the same 1962!! It is out, the dash pad isn't damaged and all the connections are marked and I can get the speedo repaired, so I'm halfway home on that one.

I have a 62 block but the intake and carb are 64. The AFB has a bottom vacuum. My tune-up guy tells me that he can't set the timing because the car is pulling a full vacuum all the time. Has something to do with my distributor and he tells me I can remove the distributor and have "something" done to it so it will work with the bottom vacuum. I bought a "restricted" air-flow attachment for the carb which I thought may solve the problem without having to pull the distributor, but it doesn't fit, it is too large for the vacuum port opening on the front of the carb. I would fit nicely on the rear of the carb though!! Anyone know what my mechanic is talking about? Thanks.

The carb port should be plugged to prevent sucking air while setting timing. I can't help you on AFB ports. A guess would be the correct port is the port which has full time engine vacuum and plug the other one. The correct vacuum can for your distributor should respond to full time vacuum (a guess).

Anyone know what my > mechanic is talking about? Derek - Your mechanic shouldn't be confused - all distributor vacuum advance units of that (pre-smog) era were designed to be connected to full manifold vacuum, so they provided full vacuum advance at idle. You set base timing with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged, then connect the vacuum advance and set idle speed and idle mixture. Your distributor shouldn't need any attention unless something in it has failed. Do you know what part number/date distributor you have?

Anyone know what my > mechanic is talking about? Perhaps your mechanic just is not familiar with something older than he is. If I understand your description correctly what you are describing used to be a relative norm. Full advance from the distributor (i.e., full vacuum to the distributor) was expected. Tell him to set the time time he need only disconnect the vacuum line (and plug the leak thus created while doing so). Set the timing to spec. Reattach the vacuum line. Adjust carb/idle accordingly. And he's done. This is all assuming there's no actual problem in the distributor. When you plug the vacuum line back on the distributor the idle speed should increase as the timing is advanced by the advance cannister. If it doesn't you've likely got a bad advance unit (not a big deal to fix). You can check it with a vacuum pump. Good luck.

Anyone know what my > mechanic is talking about? Derek - Your mechanic shouldn't be confused - all distributor vacuum advance units of that (pre-smog) era were designed to be connected to full manifold vacuum, so they provided full vacuum advance at idle. You set base timing with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged, then connect the vacuum advance and set idle speed and idle mixture. Your distributor shouldn't need any attention unless something in it has failed. Do you know what part number/date distributor you have?

As you tighten your screws, the rubber compresses and holds all in place ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Getting into fixin' broken parts. The four 8-32 screw holes in the assembly that hold the grill on are stripped beyond use. I had originally thought using heli-coils until I saw the price for the kit....$77 bucks for it at the FLAPS. Replacing the goofy binder head screws seem to be the only way to fix this correctly, as the space is very small, bigger ones won't fit. Any suggestions? Anyone game for lending me the kit?

Will stabilize your idle, improve idle cooling, throttle response, and fuel economy - that's what it's for! You'll have to re-set your idle speed when you connect it (assuming the can is functional), as it will add about 15 degrees to your base timing at idle, which will increase your idle rpm; also a good idea to touch-up your idle mixture screws for highest steady vacuum at idle rpm. Whoever disconnected it read too many Summit/Jeg's catalogs and hasn't a clue what vacuum advance is for or how it works -"Gee, race cars don't have it, so if I disconnect it my car will run just like a race car"....... :-( John Hinckley '67 300 ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

Luckily, there is a guy in my area that assemblies these guys for $150. Based on the price of my new windshield and the sweat involved, I think this is a real bargain. It seems like I have seen articles in the NCRS "Restorer" or SACC "On Solid Ground". The ST-12 shows some good detail and makes it look simple. A guy I know that has done a lot of them says "use lots of vaseline and masking tape to hold things together during assembly". Please keep us advised on how this turns out!

Base timing is almost always set with vacuum advance disconnected and at a specific engine RPM. Most Ignition distributors have both mechanical (centrifugal) and vacuum advances. Mechanical advance is RPM sensitive and vacuum advance is Load sensitive. As RPM increases, so must ignition timing. Vacuum advance is typically connected to "Venturi" vacuum or "Ported" vacuum located just above the throttle plates. When the throttle plate is opened, just off idle, this port is exposed to vacuum that increases with the velocity of intake air through the carburetor venturi. Most centrifugal advance systems are good for about 10 - 12 degrees advance. Vacuum advance typically adds another 12 - 16 degrees. Using a modern timing light with a "dial in" timing display, you can measure the amount of total advance each advance system provides and calculate total advance. Anyway, I suggest you connect the vacuum advance to "Ported" or "Venturi" vacuum above the throttle plate and for gods sake, Disconnect the vacuum advance when setting base timing! ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

Most of these engines were base-timed at 4 degrees or less, and some were timed as much as 4 degrees AFTER TDC; to make up for it, they had up to 32 degrees of centrifugal advance in order to maintain 34-36 degrees total timing in an attempt to restore high-rpm/full-throttle performance. Pre-'68 Corvettes (except '66 L-72 and '67 L-71) were all designed for full manifold vacuum on the vacuum advance diaphragm, and later cars that used "ported" vacuum will benefit from a change to full manifold vacuum; with the vacuum advance fully-deployed at idle (which requires a can calibrated to be fully deployed at 2" Hg. or more below whatever manifold vacuum the engine develops at idle), idle is stabilized, exhaust gas temperature (and the amount of heat transferred through the exhaust port walls into the coolant in the heads) is reduced, and idle cooling is improved dramatically. Echlin (available at NAPA) makes a full line of replacement vacuum advance cans in a wide range of calibrations for about $10 each. "Ported" vacuum was an early band-aid to assist A.I.R., and nothing more; that's why those cars ran like crap and ran hot, with retarded idle timing and lazy centrifugal advance curves.

Why'd they do that?? > Hal - Back in the late 50's/early 60's, the Chevy thought was that people who opted for the solid-lifter engines were going to race them, and "race" cars were operated at high rpm and high throttle openings most of the time, and didn't need the idle and low-rpm benefits provided by vacuum advance for street operation (stable idle, idle cooling, throttle response, and cruise fuel economy). It became obvious by 1963 that this wasn't the case in the real world, and from 1963 on, all Corvette distributors had vacuum advance so ignition timing was both speed- and load-sensitive for the most responsive operation in normal driving. They got the vacuum advance can calibration wrong in 1963 (can wasn't fully deployed at idle on the low-vacuum SHP/F.I. engines), but that was corrected as a running change in early 1964 with cans that were fully-deployed at 8" manifold vacuum. Vacuum advance cans of all calibrations were discontinued by GM many years ago, but the Echlin #VC-1810 is exactly the same calibration (15 degrees advance at 8" Hg. vacuum), stamped "B28" on the mounting bracket.

Seems that some of the screws were loose and upon further inspection, found the screw holes in the fiberglass frame for the windshield were enlarged / stripped out. Anyone out there have an suggestions as to repair these holes so that can use the original size screws? The screws appear to be the original sheet metal type screws and I'd like to be able to tighten these to get rid of the noise. Has anyone ever used any expoxy with any success? I've used the aircraft style rivnuts in other applications and these would also work but I thought I would inquire if there might be a more original repair. Also would anyone know if there was ever any type of insulation material between the trim and windshield frame? It looks like the vinyl at the very rear / top attaches between the trim and frame but there was nothing inbetween the plastic trim and framework as you come forward. Thank You!

We must warrant our parts to the truck manufacturer for one million over the road miles without failure. Trust me when I say that in this application a mix of resin and fumed silica (the typical thixotropic filler added to make a resin paste) will be far too 'resin rich' to hold a screw thread for too long. The strength of fiberglass is primarily derived from the glass fibers. The resin is a matrix that binds the fibers together and holds the shape desired. If you really want to use resin mix of some type to fill these holes, you should fill the resin with a mixture of 1/8" and 1/4" chopped strands of fiberglass and use milled fibers as a thickening agent. Even this will not be a permanent fix if the screw is removed/reinstalled several times after the repair has been made. A metal plate with a machine screw type insert, or a nut plate held in place with rivets (as used in aluminum and composite aircraft) is the best choice for absolute durability and removal and reinstallation.

You'll have to check with Mallory to see if that distributor will accept a vacuum advance unit, either theirs or a "standard" one. I've used several Mallory Unilite vacuum advance distributors, but I don't know if they have a vacuum advance version of the dual-point or not.

But, I tried to put one on my '60 270 without sucess. When you try to adjust the timing, the vacuum can hits on either the rear carb or the coil mounting bracket before you achieve the correct setting. I tried moving the dist. by 1 tooth and rotating the wires in the cap but I couldn't come up with a combination that worked.

I bought a top from Al Knoch and I also bought a new weather strip kit. My car was sold as a hardtop only so I had to find a frame in addition to installing the rear deck latches. I have read the manual in addition to some on-line material. Any tips on how to go about this job would be appreciated. I will have to adjust the frame to fit as well. Currently there is a 39 year old top on the frame that has shrunk.

All small-blocks with vacuum advance distributors were single 4-barrel applications and didn't have the inboard interference issue to contend with, which would limit distributor housing rotation/timing adjustment. I left my '57 270 2x4 stock with the 891 distributor; just made sure the centrifugal advance mechanism was working properly (PITA, as the mechanism is below the breaker plate, calibrated it on a Sun distributor machine so I didn't have to tear the distributor down again) and it ran fine.

If you just can't get it timed one way or the other when shifting a tooth, pull the distributor gear off the shaft and rotate it 180 degrees and reinstall it. This shifts the teeth effectively 1/2 tooth. Now, you'll find that the vacuum advance cannister will be in the center of the opening.

Don't believe all that you read in the magazines! Your engine will tell you. With the lower octane of today's gas, you may find some knock at 2500 to 2800 rpm. If that's the case, use a stiffer spring(s) (they don't have to match) to lengthen the curve. With my 11:1 L76, it's now knock free on 93 octane, but the curve had to be lengthened to 3300 rpm.

Very true - the "dimple" on the distributor gear is supposed to be pointing in the same direction as the rotor tip for correct "phasing" of the distributor, and having the gear on 180-off takes it out of phase by half a tooth, or 13.8 degrees. I didn't mention that in my earlier post, as I was more concerned with possible interference between the can and the rear corner of the rear WCFB; I don't have my '57 any more to check clearances, and I've never seen a vacuum advance distributor installed on a 2x4 engine. The vacuum advance has a wider swing arc available on a 1x4 (due to not having a rear carb in the way) - when they're 180-out, the can usually hits the #8 intake runner, especially with an SHP aluminum intake with tall runners.

Are there any precautions (i.e. run tubes in them, powder coat them, seal them with ???) The feedback that I got back on the last question on C1 rims was that welded rims came out with the addition of tubeless tires on C1 possibly to prevent leaking. Can you run radials with the riveted rims or will the overload them like Coker advertises (actually I think they state this for original rims welded or riveted)? What width whitewalls were used in '60? Also what brand of tires was used?

Did the passenger side two or three years ago. I know this question is off-topic so responses might best be direct but does anyone have experience with the "upgrade" kit that Corvette Central has in their catalog? It reads as if the motor hangs under the dash so can the original motor remain in place for appearance sake? Or must it be removed entirely? Are the wiper transmissions direct linkage? Basically, any insight would be appreciated.

I created a web page to show how I did this. The site is not quite finished but here is the web address: http://www.carols62.com/59/wiper_trans.htm I am still looking for some information on the cable lengths. I found an article in the Restorer CD that gave the lengths, but the measurements did not match my transmissions very closely. If anyone has a transmission lying around that they could measure, I would appreciate receiving any information on the lengths of the cables. The measurement I would like to have is the total length from end to end, including the swaged ends. Be sure to include information such as right or left transmission, top or bottom pulley.

If I understand your description correctly what you are describing used to be a relative norm. Full advance from the distributor (i.e., full vacuum to the distributor) was expected. Tell him to set the time time he need only disconnect the vacuum line (and plug the leak thus created while doing so). Set the timing to spec. Reattach the vacuum line. Adjust carb/idle accordingly. And he's done. This is all assuming there's no actual problem in the distributor. When you plug the vacuum line back on the distributor the idle speed should increase as the timing is advanced by the advance cannister. If it doesn't you've likely got a bad advance unit (not a big deal to fix). You can check it with a vacuum pump. Good luck.

I tried some of the plastic screw anchors last night and they worked great so far. I agree that there will be some applications where metal nut plates attached with rivets will be the only correct repair. There is also another fastener we use on aircraft that is called a "rivnut". I believe another member described it in an earlier post. They come in various sizes, 6-32, 8-32 & 10-32 are the more common. You can probably purchase these at any local fixed based operator on the airport but it does take a special tool for installation. I also believe that the other gentleman advised that a mandrel of proper size used in conjunction with a pop rivet tool would work. If anyone is interested in these fasteners, try www.fastenal.com and look for info on Klik Rivet Nut. The tools for installation is called Thread -Setter Tool found on page 319 of their Vol. 2 catalog. You could also reach them at 317-243-2800. Fastenal is a major vendor of fasteners and other related materials Thanks again for your input!

You did such a great job, its almost tempting enough to ask all the other C2 guys on the list to chip in and get you a C2 project car to document the same way. :) Seriously, the type of thing you did just really goes to show how great it is to have a list like this.

Symptom: Amp needle sticks on full charge When I smack the voltage regulator, it un-sticks. This happens intermittently. After taking it out and pulling the cover off, I found the section in the service manual. Now I'm confused. I don't know which way to turn the knob, or bend the tab. I know I should be able to figure this out, but I don't want to foul things up. The manual says not to file the points. It also says to set the gap, but gives no measurement. I guess I need help.

One wire from the circuit breaker for the windows plugs into a cavity in the fuse block (power source), and the other wire goes into the instrument panel wiring harness and ends up at the switch in the console.

Don't know what Coker jas to say about running radials on C1 rims, whether riveted or welded. But I do know people do it all the time. I'd wager that the majority of C1s are running around with tubeless radials. I had always believed that the welded rims replaced the rivetted ones to prevent leaks when tubeless tires came out. But i believe most people run tubeless tires on their rivetted rims with no problems. However, when I restored my rivetted rims, I put a dot of silicone sealer on the rivet on the inside of the rim, just to be sure. Can't hurt. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

The heat insulation / dissipation is an issue I'll have to consider well in this matter, and even more here in the Dominican Republic, where it's always hot. The header fit was also something which interested me, mostly by reading comments about the problems during the installation. I prefer to ask you guys for previous experiences you may have had or heard about, than running into something new by myself. I also thank the others for reminding me the originality of the vehicles in this list, which I respect. But then again, I don't find technical questions "scandalous" to the list? If so, please excuse me.

I hope your customer understands the costs involved in a "correct" fuelie creation/restoration; a properly-restored fuel injection unit and distributor goes for $5K-$7K these days, with another $4K-$6K in the engine under it, and there is no aftermarket fuel injection that looks like the original unit (the original was mechanical, and all the aftermarket stuff is electronic). As posted earlier, recommend you join the NCRS (you can join on-line at www.ncrs.org); it's the best Corvette restoration resource there is.

Check out http://www.engineslimited.com/ for the engine. You can e-mail Randy, the guy in charge, and he can tell you if he has the engine you need. My '63 Corvette engine came from him, and it was exactly as advertised. Good guy. Fuel Injection units and transmissions are available, but they are costly depending on what you want for "matching numbers." Join the NCRS as Roger suggested, their Driveline magazine is full of ads for all the sources of Corvette stuff.

The local shop told you $7,000? You might pay that much for a fuel injection unit alone. Here's the problem: there was only one original engine, fuel injection, and transmission built for that '61 Corvette. If you're going to duplicate that setup, it would all be meaningless unless you rebuild and restore it to a standard. My book on restoration is a good guide to details. However, money spent on this car is wasted unless you follow the NCRS standard (it's more up-to-date than my book), as spelled out in their judging guidelines. It is important to understand that many parts- like the generator- have a part number and a date code. We can't just use any old replacement part for the generator that you could buy at your favorite local parts store. All of the parts- like the generator- were built before the final assembly date, and installed in the St. Louis assembly plant. That means not only must it have the correct part number, but it must have a proper date code; usually 3 months to 2 weeks before the car was built. The customer would really be better off to install a used 283, 327, or 350 engine in good condition along with a non-dated 4 speed. If he or she really wants a Corvette with all the original stuff, they're better off to buy a restored one that's for sale. However, since you asked- here we go. First, you must find a 1961 block with the casting number 3756519 or 3789935. The block must also have a proper casting date, which will be determined by the car's serial number. NCRS has a specifications guide which will provide important information here. After you have located the block it must be magnafluxed- that is, checked to see that it is not cracked. Then the machine shop gets involved. It must be cleaned up, and machined, and the internal parts installed. In the meantime, you must look for the proper heads with the proper casting number and date. In 1961 the small "pad" on the right (passenger's) side of the front of the block contains the engine number, stamped into the metal using metal dies. Part of the engine number contains the engine assembly date; another part contains a portion of the serial number. The characters in the engine number vary greatly: they must be stamped with great care, using the proper tools. The same goes for all of the other parts: heads, distributor, exhaust manifolds, water pump, starter, voltage regulator, horn relay, Etc. They must all have the proper part number and date codes, although much of it- like the water pump numbers- are hidden. A search for the proper parts can be expensive, and can take a long time. If the fuel injection is going to duplicate the original, then it must be a rebuilt original 1961 Rochester fuel injection unit. Although the fuel injection units are not date coded, they do have a part number and a sequence number, which must be proper for the car. And don't forget the air cleaner, linkages, fuel pump drive cable, Etc. Then there's the search for a proper bell housing, clutch parts, and a proper 1961 4 speed manual transmission. Again, numbers and dates must be correct, which consumes both time and money to locate. This will be a long term and costly project; are you sure this is what your customer wants? All is well if he or she goes into this project knowing that extra time and money may be necessary. My guess on the total cost is in the $12,000 to $16,000 range. So, is it really worth it? Only the owner can decide that. Good luck with the project.

First of all, the car has been in the family for a good number of years, so another car is not what it's about for them. At this point in time, I'm gathering the information they need to make a decision about how they want to go. They did tell me the numbers didn't matter, but they wanted it to look and feel authentic. However, when I give them this feedback I won't be surprised if they would rather do as you suggested and get a later model power train. I think what you're telling me is that a lot of money could be spent, but if we don't pay attention to the numbers, the end result won't be worth the money spent. Anyway, this is very helpful information. We'll get all the facts before proceeding. thanks, rex >From: "Noland Adams" >Reply-To: crpl@redacted.email >To: >Subject: New to list/'61 Corvette >Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 10:21:03 -0700 > >The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) >----------------------------------------------------- >Rex, > >I'm not sure you know what you're getting into with this '61 without the >engine, fuel injection, and transmission.

I'm local (Mountain View) and have a fairly original '61 with fuel injection. If I was looking for a car to drive I'd skip the fuel injection - there are better ways to get 315 HP today. If the owner has documentation that it was a FI car originally then it might make sense to put it back to original spec's, otherwise it is likely to end up costing more than the car would be worth. Based on my experience for those parts I've needed and the prices I've seen it could easily end up costing more than Nolands estimate. jason On Saturday, June 7, 2003, at 03:35 PM, Rex Smith wrote: > The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) > ----------------------------------------------------- > Thanks Noland, > > What you're saying is not far from what I suspected.

I can now sketch out some options for him. I think he's at the stage where he's not sure what he wants until he has some options to think about; that's often the case. The options I'll present are as follows... I. Do it by the numbers...lotsa money, lotsa time. II. Do it original, ignore the numbers...lotsa money, maybe a little less time. Waste of good original parts and car isn't worth as much. III. Use crate motor, etc...fastest, cheapest; will make a great looking driver. A couple of questions... 1. What is the best reference book for me to get to understand numbers? 2. The ID on a plate rivited to the steering wheel (and on the registration) is 108675101919. Is there intelligence in this number, or is it just a number? Also, is it the right number to judge the official manuf date of the car, or is that number to found somewhere else? thanks for all your help, rex >From: Jason Redgrave >Reply-To: crpl@redacted.email >To: crpl@redacted.email >Subject: Re: New to list/'61 Corvette >Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 18:14:19 -0700 > >The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) >----------------------------------------------------- >One other thing to consider is what the corvette will be used for.

Two more books that are essential are 1) the "1953-62 Corvette Servicing Guide", also known as the "ST-12" (the only solid-axle Shop Manual ever published), and 2) The "1961 Corvette Assembly Instruction Manual"; both are also available from the NCRS on-line store. The VIN number on the steering column tube decodes to a final assembly date of October 21, 1960; the only other VIN number on the car itself is a derivative of the VIN number, stamped on the top surface of the driver's side frame rail near the center of the door opening (this same derivative was also stamped on the engine block machined pad in front of the passenger side cylinder head, adjacent to the engine identification/date code).

On the first drive the temperature gauge pegged to the high position after reading 140 degrees + - for a short time. I cleaned the wire connector, checked the wire and removed and cleaned the threads on the sending unit. The temperature gauge again read 140 degrees + -. After driving the car for about 10 miles, shutting the car off and waiting for a few minutes then restarting, the temperature gauge once again pegged to the high side. I used a temperature gun to read actual temperature: 180degrees at the thermostat housing and 475 to 485 at the exhaust manifold. Would this indicate that I need a new sending unit?

Ray - You can eliminate the gauge as the problem by disconnecting the terminal at the sending unit with the ignition on - the gauge should go to full cold; then ground the wire terminal to the engine - the gauge should go to full hot. If this checks out, it's the sender. The Wells TU-5 sender ($5.00 at AutoZone) seems to be the closest to the original calibration, and Lectric Limited is now advertising properly-calibrated senders for about $20.00. Any other replacement sender is likely to make the gauge read 20-40 degrees too hot.

The gauge when grounded out will go full to hot! Is the gauge after restart actually pegged hot or is it just moving up after you shut off the engine? If it's pegged hot then it's probably the sender. I would test the gauge as indicated by John and then test the sender. Drive the car as stated, shut it off and put an ohms meter on the gauge sender(with the gauge wire disconnected). When you restart it watch for a sudden drop in ohms on the sender. I don't have my numbers on my laptop, but you see a quick drop in the ohms on the gauge if the gauge is indeed spiking. If it's an original sender don't throw it away either. I have not tested the lectric limited sender yet! (Next on in will be one from them) But I'm sure with today's increased knowledge of repairs and fix's that someone someday will be rebuilding them (if they are not already).

All 1956 to 1967 temperature systems use a single post temperature sending unit; I believe the first two post sending unit was used in 1968. Installation of the sending unit is important, here's why: In order to complete the 1956 to '67 temperature sensing circuit, the sending unit must be firmly seated in its mount in the intake manifold. If you wrap the tapered threads with too much teflon tape, you could partially insulate the sending unit's pipe threads, producing an extra resistance, which would cause errors in the temperature reading. The real reason for pipe dope or teflon tape on the sending unit's tapered pipe threads is lubrication. Use just enough to allow the tapered pipe threads to slide against each other until the sending unit is firmly installed in the manifold. If you do not use enough lubricant on the pipe threads, they can gall, and roll little metal pieces into the threads. Galling prevents the tapered threads from sealing against each other, and the fitting can seep. It's usually not a big leak, but it is an annoyance. I suspect many incorrect cooling temperature readings can be traced to a poor electrical connection at the sending unit's threads. I hope this helps.

You could post your question, then invite off-line answers - it keeps the purists happy, and you get your answer. BTW - headers won't help you all that much with performance unless you match intake runners, carb size, etc. And it will introduce a lot more heat into the cabin. Good luck.

The heat insulation / dissipation is an issue I'll have to consider well in this matter, and even more here in the Dominican Republic, where it's always hot. The header fit was also something which interested me, mostly by reading comments about the problems during the installation. I prefer to ask you guys for previous experiences you may have had or heard about, than running into something new by myself. I also thank the others for reminding me the originality of the vehicles in this list, which I respect. But then again, I don't find technical questions "scandalous" to the list? If so, please excuse me.

A good medium term repair is to apply a few drops of lock-tite ( I used the non hardening type) on the pivot ball and adjust the mirror into position. Let it sit for a day and it will probably be stiff enough to hold position. Sort of an autoviagra treatment.

I'd talk to the vendor first and request they take the items back and give you FULL credit. If they don't satisfy you, call your credits cards customer service.

I can't tighten the mounting screw any more than it is. Is the remedy to this to increase the base size with another rubber gasket and thus the distance from the mounting screw to the door panel - or is there an easier way ? Thanks !

A good medium term repair is to apply a few drops of lock-tite ( I used the non hardening type) on the pivot ball and adjust the mirror into position. Let it sit for a day and it will probably be stiff enough to hold position. Sort of an autoviagra treatment.

But if your goal is to have your car judged, even U.S. made parts may not be accurate for judging. I bought a complete front end rebuild kit and had to return some of the pieces because of incorrect bolt head markings and finish on some of the parts. Compare new parts to the old ones and judging manual specs.

VERY common problem - there's LOTS of information on this issue in the archives at the NCRS Technical Board. You can add resistance in the circuit to give a correct gauge reading, but the gauge won't be linear - it will only be accurate at the point where you choose to calibrate it. The first step is to "shoot" your thermostat housing with an I.R. gun at operating temperature and compare that reading with what the gauge says at the same time so you know what the gauge is telling you.

I've got a leak where the hoses enter that connector and even 3M black death wouldn't fix it (only for a few days).

Harwyn - It's Polyester resin and hardener - my body guy prefers the Lord "Fusor" brand of resins; if you can't find it at a body shop supply outlet, you can usually find it at marine supply stores. If you haven't worked with fiberglass panel adhesives before, you might get the Eckler's book on fiberglass repairs and read up on it; it's not something you "just do" without some learning. I'm sure others on the list will have their favorite panel adhesives as well.

I'm sure my 67 435HP temp gauge is wrong also. I have 8 sending units, some new Delcos and new Standards, and a couple of old ones (don't know if any are originals). I matched them up to a meat thermometer in the radiator many years ago, but the closest one was about 10-15 degrees off. The gauge read higher than the thermometer, but you have to remember, the thermometer was in the radiator filler neck on the radiator cap side of the radiator. This location is on the cooler end of the radiator, after the coolant was cooled. Does anyone know how close is the Wells TU-5 to being accurate, and where can I get one of these IR heat guns, and how much can I expect to pay for it ???

Kanter probably has the best prices on front end stuff. You probably don't need the whole kit. The control arm bushings do not wear evenly. Usually some will be shot. Some will be OK. You probably will need king pins. Usual C1 Corvette vendors are Dr. Rebuild, Paragon, Zip, Corvette Central, and Mary Jo. They all have web sites. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

I was thinking they were compression fittings when I started, but then, when the line wasn't holding, began wondering if it was necessary to flare the ends. As you all pointed out, they are compression fittings and the important things are that the line be passed all the way through (Len recommended 1/4") and (as John pointed out) it be bottomed against the female fitting before tightening. Once I did it that way, it all worked fine. Duh! My current car, which I've been restoring over the past year, is my second '66. I bought my first one as a young GI back in 1974 for $2,000 and then sold it the following year for whopping $2,800 when I got stationed overseas in Greenland (whoopee) . . . and, although it seemed like a great profit at the time, I had been kicking myself in the butt ever since for not holding on to her. All is as it should be now . . . I've finally "un-did" my mistake so to speak, but the consequences of my unfortunate 27 year hiatus from Corvette ownership shows up from time-to-time in my asking really basic stuff like how to connect an oil pressure line. This is a great list . . . and it never ceases to amaze me how much some of the guys know about the intricacies of these cars. I guess what I'm trying to say here is thanks for putting up with--and helping me with--some of my 9th grade auto shop questions!

Are there any precautions (i.e. run tubes in them, powder coat them, seal them with ???) The feedback that I got back on the last question on C1 rims was that welded rims came out with the addition of tubeless tires on C1 possibly to prevent leaking. Can you run radials with the riveted rims or will the overload them like Coker advertises (actually I think they state this for original rims welded or riveted)? What width whitewalls were used in '60? Also what brand of tires was used?

I don't think it is original as is has raised white letters that say "wide oval" but don't say Goodyear or Firestone (that I can find). My car has 70 series radials now and I would like to have a spare that I could use in an emergency (heaven forbid). My spare doesn't want to hold air for very long anyway. Does anyone have suggestions for a size radial tire that can fit in the spare tire tub? I know my current tires won't fit due to the width of the tire. Thanks for your help.

The article doesn't describe what the difference was for the "special exhaust valves", but it must have been just a premium material, as the length and stem diameter, guide, etc. were the same as the passenger car. I'm sure the passenger car exhaust valves would work just fine considering the way we drive these classics today.

Check to see that the bracket is tight against the gasket. If this is OK then check the mirror base to bracket fit. Either the screw or the hole in the cast bracket is worn. May need to replace the bracket if it will not fit tight against the inside of the mirror base. If you have previously tightened the screw in the mirror base without first making sure the base fits properly to the bracket it will "wobble". Ref. AIM Sheet F25 for assy. views of the parts.

Ted - Yes, the riveted rims were used with tubeless tires - the standard 5" rims were seen in both welded and riveted versions, and the optional 5.5" rims were all riveted from '57 thorugh '62. When I switched to radials on my '57 with stock 5" rims, I began to have problems with the wheel covers rotating on the rims, which lends credence to the thought that radials put more lateral load on the wheels due to their construction, but I don't think it's a safety issue - lots of guys have radials on stock rims, and I've never heard of a wheel failure. The '58-'60 TM&JG should describe the whitewall width and tire brands that were original equipment.

The feedback that I got back on the last question on C1 >rims was that welded rims came out with the addition of tubeless tires >on C1 possibly to prevent leaking. Can you run radials with the riveted >rims or will the overload them like Coker advertises (actually I think >they state this for original rims welded or riveted)? What width >whitewalls were used in '60? Also what brand of tires was used? > 1. You can run tubeless tires on rivetted rims. I believe there was some concern over their leaking past the rivets, so the industry went to welded rims in the mid 50s when tubeless tires came out. But many people run modern tubeless radials on rivetted C1 rims with no problem. If you have the tires off the rims, put a dot of silicone sealer on the rivet head on the inside of the rim. 2. I love powder coating. I think it'd be great for rims. You may lose points on the judging field. What color are the rims on a '60 supposed to be? It may be body color, which will be hard to match with a powder color. 3. I don't know what Coker advertises. But I do know the vast majority of C1 owners run radial tires with no problems. Some people report that 1 or more of their wheel covers try to rotate on the rim, bumping up against the valve stem. Most people seem to solve that probelm by fiddling with the wheel cover. 4. I don't know the width of the whitewall. But it is called "wide". It is whatever Coker is selling for wide whitewalls. The width should be listed on their site. 5. Didn't you ask these questions a few weeks ago? If you're going to drive this car, you want radials. They are so much better than bias plies. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

We'll trace the changes from 1953 to 1956. inlet valve exhaust valve In 1953/'54; 3835910 (Corvette) 3703571 (Corvette) (as discussed by John Hinckley) In 1955; changed to 3695455 (Corvette) changed to 3836652 (Corvette) In 1956; 3695455 changed to 3731212 Usage: All 1953 to '55 235 engines, All 1953 to '55 235 engines, passenger or Corvette passenger or Corvette >From this little chart we can see that the engine folks were trying to consolidate parts. By 1956 they had all 1953 to 1955 Corvette sixes using the same replacement valves. Of particular note is the exhaust valve; regardless of its part number, it has a 2-groove stem with a 45 degree seat. Therefore, if you get valves to fit a 1953 to '55 six cylinder Chevrolet engine, they should work ok. Having old parts books helps a lot.

RWL, white stripe or blackwall were options PU9,PT7,PT1 respectively. Radials appeared in 73 in GR70x15 size(optionsQRZ,QRM,QRX),and continue thru 77. In 78 they changed to P225/70 for blackwalls(QGQ) and P255/60R15 RWL(QBS). As I recall, there is some adjustment available in the two studs that support the bucket as well as the moveable hanger bolt at the rear. Hope that helps.

Does anyone have any experience with rebuild kits that are available at Paragon or other vendors? Also I have one windshield wiper blade, drivers side, that apprears to be traveling too far in that it travels to the middle of the windshield trim on the bottom before it stops. I tried to gently pull the wiper assy off the shaft but it felt as though it was pretty snug. I did notice a tab that apparently needs to be pulled back from the shaft but it still was on pretty tight. I don't want to resort using to my trusty 6 foot crow bar to pry this thing off and accidently run it through the windshield. Any tips would be appreciated.

The kit is for 57 to 63 so, I do not know how good the kit would be for your 66. But, the 57 to 63 kit had everything I needed including the rivets. (I really thought that they were going to send nuts and bolts in place of the rivets. Glad that they didn't!) It was a very straightforward process.

Now, I am talking about horns for a '63 and not a '66 so, I don't know the complexity of the '66 horns. For the appearance of the rivets, I assume that you are talking about the ends of the rivets after they have been compressed. For the '63 it is sort of a cross-hatch appearance. I was able to duplicate this by using one of the jaws of a vise-grip in my Shop Press. For achieving the correct sound, the '63 has a screw to adjust the pitch. This seemed to be very straightforward. Anyway, I just didn't want to discourage Frank from trying it.

They have a whole section Lisle (Made in U.S.A.) stuff which, in addition to the tool you are looking for (which I will now run a piece of tape around as shown in John's picture), has all kinds of the older type tools (like the flexible shaft point setting tool) which you don't really see around that much anymore. On the horns, Dennis Portka just did a set for me and they sound and look great. I thought about trying it myself, but, because one of my horns was not correct, had Dennis do the job because he was also able to supply a correctly date matched core.

Two things I think I recall (how is that for certainty?) are 1) some parts you MAY need may not be in the kits (diaphragm, maybe?) so parts horns are helpful, and 2) don't paint the inside, or at least paint too much, as sound will be affected . . . Again, I am working from my memory, which is really good, just short . . . . By the way, as long as I am typing, a few words on a totally unrelated topic: troubleshooting and new parts. Despite proper soaking in oil, etc., Meltzer and I just had a problem with a new, but defective, accelerator pump on his '62. Similarly, not one but two new repro (not AC) vacuum relays on his '70 headlight system leaked . . . I just wanted to share an old lesson I have been doomed to relearn, that new parts don't always work, either . . . .

I purchased an ignition switch supposed to be for a 1965 vette, however my original key lock that goes into the switch will not fit. The switch part number is Delco Remy 1116660, is this for a 66 or later vette???

The General wasn't too particular the foam might touch or there may be a gap of 1/2"± between the two .Light yellow colored glue was painted with a brush and the foam pieces placed on the glue. So, one would expect to see some ( sometimes a lot) of glue smeared around. Approach this project as if it was your last job assignment for the day at the St. Louis Corvette line before a long weekend and the result will be fine!

My next plan is to heat the arm end as much as I can and see if that works better- has anyone got a better process that worked good for them - is the best option to go to a shop and have them pressed on ?

I have placed an order for the tool as well as a repair kit for the inoperative horn. I even checked my judging guide last night and discovered that the horns differ in their tone from right to left side. I thought all horns were the same. Another leaning experience, complete with all of your input. Thank You Very Much!

John - The piece that hangs down has a lip on the bottom that hooks under the bottom edge of the end of the arm that goes over the spindle, and you squeeze the hinged part of the arm up against the handle of the tool (where the piece of tape is in the pic, to avoid scratching the top surface of the arm); this straightens out the arm against the hinge spring tension (essentially makes the hinged arm a solid one-piece part) and makes it simple to either remove it or to position it properly when installing it. Hard to explain, but easy to do.

How about 3 people; two with 4 long screwdrivers spaced at 90 degree increments around the drum; 1 to slide the spring down the screwdrivers onto the drum (unless it slides by itself. Everyone should wear heavy gloves jackets and faceshields for the failed attempts. BTW, while I believe the springs are there for vibration damping as people say, I'm hard pressed to imagine exactly how they prevent that. The only theory I can come up with is that the brake drum itself developed a resonance (bad design, needing a bandaid?) that could be damped by compressing the perimeter with a spring. maybe... In the May/June issue of Home Shop Machinist, they present a method of winding your own springs using a lathe with a mandrel. Might be interesting to try it with these springs since you can't get them anymore. Do the new drums have the slot for the springs? rex >From: "Turner, John A.

I got some rear brake drums off an early '70s Chevy wagon that had the grooves for the springs. Chevy had drum brakes on the rears of their cars for a long time after they went to front discs. The drums for C1s is a pretty common 11x2 size with the 4 3/4" lug pattern. They must have made tens of millions of those. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

The JM calls for semi-gloss on the instrument cluster (glove box and console to match), and there I'm using the semi-gloss which LIC sells. I'm not a paint expert, but it seems a bit on the "thick" side (I'm assuming because of paint solids), which is okay for me since sun is a big factor down here in Miami. On the dash cover (and speaker grill), the JM calls for "low-gloss". and there I'm using the "Under Hood Black" from Eastwood. I tried the Krylon semi-flat black, but, at least next to the LIC "semi-gloss" (which is pretty glossy for a semi-gloss), it was too much of a contrast. The Eastwood stuff, although it may not have been intended for this application, looks much better. Where I'm wondering which way to go is on the clock bezel and center a/c vent. I didn't see any guidance as to the correct sheen for either of those areas in the JM. My thinking is to match the clock bezel to the bezels in the instrument cluster (LIC semi-glass), and, in order to balance out the overall apearance of the dash, do the center vent components in he same LIC semi-gloss. It presents well, but is there a different judging correct answer as to what to use? Also, it would be good to know whether, if at all, a judge might look for a particular finish on the metal deflector plate in the center duct (which is somewhat visible at various angles from inside the passenger compartment).

It's easy. I recently replaced the drums that came with the car (which have the springs) with repro's (no springs). I notice a high frequency vibration under light braking conditions that goes away under harder braking. The car did not exhibit any such vibrations with old drums.

I just recently went through the whole A/C system on my '66, so I might be able to help you out if you either post to the list or e-mail me as you get into the job. Having been sucked into what John Hinkley once so-aptly described as the "restoration vortex", what started out as painting the radiator on my car turned into (and this is only a partial listing) replacing the radiator support, rebuilding the headlight motors, getting the horns done, then doing the top half of the engine, redoing the A/C system, which, in turn, led to redoing the entire dash, and, while I was at it, the complete interior and the accessible sections of the birdcage, which, once I had all that room to work, presented an "opportune" time to get into the door hinges. If, on the other hand, you can avoid getting sucked into the "vortex" (I actually willingly stuck my head in it) and stick to just replacing the heater core, then you will find it easier to take the radio out rather than trying to work around it when you pull the distribution box (which is what the heater core mounts to) out from under the dash. There are a lot of good posts on that in the archives. Something which I did not find in the archives, but proved to be very helpful (since I work solo), was picking up a 12" threaded rod and two couplers at Home Depot. I cut the rod in half and used the couplers to lengthen the two of the three bolts on the distributor box around the heater core. With two people, one could push the distribution box up against the firewall from the inside while the other works from the engine compartment side to thread the flare nuts which hold in in place. Working alone--and using the threaded rods as extensions, I was able to position the distribution box close enough from inside so that there was enough of the treaded rod exposed on the engine compartment side for me to then swing around to pull the box flush and get a flare nut started. Hope that helps, and good luck!

I verified the existing lower hose has a spring in it, and believe the new one should also. Have other list members been successful in obtaining correct hoses, with the spring? If so, please provide the vendor name. I'm starting to think this is another one of those cases where I paid a premium price for a correct repro. part....only to have the "joy" of wrestling a used spring into the new hose. Thanks, Ed NCRS #? (As the vendors advertise, it's a "completely correct" repro. part: BTW, PTM - - Beat To Fit, Paint To Match!) ********************************************************************** This communication is for the use of the intended recipient only.

If the spare is inflated correctly(about 24psi) the cover board is elevated about 1/2". If the original tires were 6.70x15(which was an 82 or 83 profile) on stock 5" wheels, which is what I have....why doesn't the spare fit "properly"?? It appears that other folks have run into this problem and I was wondering what you had done to deal with it. It won't be a real problem until I have the car ready for judging(probably several years from now) but "inquiring minds want to know"!!.

To recall, the thermo housing bolt hole threads (short one) pulled out when I replaced the thermostat. Later on, sfter we pulled the manifold for what we thought would be an welding job on the intake, my mechanic advised that the fitting for the heater hose pulled out. He helicoiled both and they're holding fine. He used paste teflon on the threads, an advisable step to eliminate corrosion. He also glassbeaded the manifold and it looks great. It's my original and the best part is that I was able to keep it.

Lowest price I've been able to find is from "The Last Detail" at $575/pair. Anyone know if this is a reputable supplier? Any dealings stories you can share. Anyone got suggestions of the best place/fairest price vendor for these? I've found prices ranging from $575 to $678 per pair. Thanks in advance. P.S. I recently purchase Eckler's complete Ignition Shielding Kit. The kit is nice enough and is advertised as the most complete kit available for the price, and their catalog cautions you not to be fooled by other less expensive and incomplete kits. So . . . I buy the kit which is over $100 more than one from Corvette Central. When I opened the box I find that the Top Shield is in another box with Corvette Central's logo. Do you think they forgot to do something, like getting rid of the inner Corvette Central box, before shipping? :-( Tom Workman AFAB Software "We live just to learn.

Rex, be careful about the use of the term "original" here. There have been many intense "how-many-angels-can-dance-on-the-head-of-a-pin" type arguments on what is "original" and what is not. I don't think you want "original." Sounds like you want "functionally equivalent", or "OEM replacement." Something that works, fits, bolts-on, and has the same or better quality than original. If so, that's easy. Your FLAPS probably has drums. The Autozone in Roslindale, Massachusetts had them in stock a few months ago for around $20 each. Lots of Chevys used these drums. They won't have the groove for the spring. Kanter and all the usual Corvette vendors have shoes, wheel cylinders, hoses, springs, and hold -downs. Also try your FLAPS. It's almost a pleasure to buy this stuff because they're relatively cheap. You get nosebleeds from buying other Corvette parts. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

Lowest price I've been able to find is from "The Last Detail" at $575/pair. Anyone know if this is a reputable supplier? Any dealings stories you can share. Anyone got suggestions of the best place/fairest price vendor for these? I've found prices ranging from $575 to $678 per pair. Thanks in advance. P.S. I recently purchase Eckler's complete Ignition Shielding Kit. The kit is nice enough and is advertised as the most complete kit available for the price, and their catalog cautions you not to be fooled by other less expensive and incomplete kits. So . . . I buy the kit which is over $100 more than one from Corvette Central. When I opened the box I find that the Top Shield is in another box with Corvette Central's logo. Do you think they forgot to do something, like getting rid of the inner Corvette Central box, before shipping? :-( Tom Workman AFAB Software "We live just to learn.

You are the Dr. that sold me the lower hose for the 1966 (327/300 with A/C ) with the missing spring. The hose was ordered on May 22, 2003, as part of a larger order. Your database should show that I now live in Tomball, Texas. It should also reflect that I have made four parts orders (total >$650) from my Texas address, the first in March-2002. The bulk of these orders were parts for the 1966 small block that I acquired 3 years ago. I still have the 1969. I'm currently at work and don't have access to the invoice. I will call next week with the invoice details to discuss further.

I set the floats at 5/16 inch per 63-shop manual. I had to back the car up a steep grade and the carburetor seemed to flood, I also had a hard time restarting. On the WCFB's on my 61, I set the floats lower than the recommend specs. Should this also be done on the 3697S? Thanks for any help!

What is the length of the straight section of the wrench, and what is the length of the angled section of the wrench. What is the offset of the angled end from that of the straight section (or measure the angle between the straight and angled sections with a protractor). For those paying attention to ebay, someone is listing lug wrenches with various dimensions in the corvette auto parts listings. I must have a dozen of these Chev wheel lug wrenches from my various pickups and passenger cars, and these cars wouldn't miss the wrench if I took it for the corvette.

If you wish, I can send you a spring to use. I did not know you had moved, and only looked under the old address which apparently is also still in our data base. I stopped at that zip code, not realizing you were also listed under a numerically higher zip code. I had my wife check the hoses in stock at the warehouse. That is one of two hoses that comes WITHOUT a spring. The other is the 68-72 SB aluminum radiator lower hose numbered 3917699. Both hoses are actually manufactured by Goodyear, not me. We buy it from another well known supplier and those two do not come with springs. Go figure.

Personally, I got jipped enough times like that from Ecklers that I quit getting anything from them. I swear that most of the stuff they sell is from other vendors. It looks to me like they pay the same price you would have from the vendor you could have got it direct from and then mark it up about 100% to sell it to you. I'd have to be a real desperado to buy anything from them again. GLUCK !

They arrived this past week, and looked very well-made, but the tags were wrong and were correct for earlier serial #s than mine (had a "CAA" instead of "Federal" specification). The buckle had the patent # ending in "810", which the chart in the judging manual says would be appropriate, although the text says that "CS5000" was predominantly used at the time my car crossed the threshold. CC contacted their supplier, whom they said was Sun West in California (although I can't find them in Google or Thomas Register), and they can't make the tag my car needs. So my question for y'all is, what to do? Should I get my nearly $300 back, or just use these otherwise excellent belts? What kind of point hit would I take for these tags?

Thanks in advance! -John '62 > John - Don't have the '62 JG, but on a '67, the belts/buckles/tags carry 14 originality points, so 3 or 4 points would be allocated to the tags, and those points are split 5 ways by Configuration, Installation, Completeness, Finish, and Date dimensions; depending on the judge's discretion, might cost you a point or two.

People at Al Knoch told me they sold tops to Ecklers. I bought a weatherstrip kit from The Last Detail and it was drop shipped to me from a place called Corvette Parts Depot. It simply costs too much to manufacture a part like a top for such a limited market. Thus the company that produces tops for many autos will make them for a " Corvette Supply Co" then that Co will supply other vendors. The closer you get to the source after the manufacturer the better the price.

I have a 2818 on my '64 365 Coupe and despite switching carbs (including using one redone by Jerry Luck) I can not get what I consider to be uniform secondary operation. My understanding of proper vacuum secondary operation is that they should open gradually so that you do not feel a sudden, all-at-once increase in power. But that is how the power comes on for my engine,with a sudden jerk. Plus the secondary opening does not always happen at the same RPM level at full throttle--sometimes it happens around 4000 rpms, sometimes much later(too late). Naturally I have experimented with the various springs offered by Holley but only the weakest springs let the secondaries function at all. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Ralph Boineau. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

I have bought things from them that were cheaper than other sellers. And I have checked ad-nauseum to ensure I got the best price. I do know that Corvette Central has decent prices, but no customer service. The order taker on the phone could not answer any questions I had. He sent me to a tech support number. I left my name and number, but never received a call back. I then bought from Rik's Corvette. I paid a higher price, but they can answer your questions. Since most of these vendors have pretty much the same stuff, I would recommend someone other than Corvette Central. Zip's has a huge inventory and can answer questions ( I actually got a callback from their tech support guy). Zip's items are not cheap - but they are good. -----Original Message----- From: crpl-bounces+sbrown3=gvtc.com@redacted.email [mailto:crpl-bounces+sbrown3=gvtc.com@redacted.email]On Behalf Of Greg Bares Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 7:53 AM To: crpl@redacted.email Subject: Re: Parts Supplier Info ...

Personally, I got jipped enough times like that from Ecklers that I quit getting anything from them. I swear that most of the stuff they sell is from other vendors. It looks to me like they pay the same price you would have from the vendor you could have got it direct from and then mark it up about 100% to sell it to you. I'd have to be a real desperado to buy anything from them again. GLUCK !

I just looked at mine to verify it. Never seen a bad one though in three hundred thousand miles! That sounds like quite a trip. It will put you in league with Sebring Bill Herron. My longest trip in a Corvette was in my 67 a/c conv.- Miami to North Carolina to New Orleans to Bloomington to Ocean City New Jersey and back to Miami. The last 200 miles on a trailer due to a left rear wheel bearing that melted in front of the track at Daytona. Good luck on such an ambitious journey.

Your trip was pretty ambitious as well! I'm doing mine as a "50th Celebration" thing . . . fifty years of Corvette and, well, me. :) Aside from being something I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid, you could also say its my way of "fighting back" that AARP letter they kick out when you turn fifty! By the time I hit the road in time for Carlise, both trailing arms, differential, transmission, clutch, heads, distributor, carburator, starter, alternator, voltage regulator, engine and dash wiring harnesses, heater core, water pump, fan clutch, and front end will among the things that have been rebuilt or replaced within the past year, so my car is going to be in pretty good shape starting out at least. I made a 1,500 mile run back to Miami when I first bought my car and, while in retrospect that was not the smartest thing to do (but I was too "off the scope" happy about finding the year, color, and options I had been looking for over two years to think straight) made it without any problems and averaged about 18 mile per gallon (L79 w/ 3.35 rear). I don't know if I'll do any better gas mileage-wise this time around, but I'll sure have a better sense of my car and where to look if problems develop. Okay, now you've got me going . . . and I'm going to start searhing list archives for "Sebring Bill"!

I looked under the dash and the brake pedal is not contacting the brake switch. It seems like the pedal is not traveling far enough back. I can pull on the pedal to make it contact the switch but it will not return there after I depress the pedal. I removed the power brake booster when I was working in the engine compartment but didn't do anything to it. If I remove the rod from the pedal, it comes back another inch. Everything was working before I started my resto (over a year ago). Could something be wrong with the booster now? Is there an adjustment? HELP! I'm ready to start my car and I can't drive it on the street. Thanks guys.

There's a few of these brackets, and I believe that the '62s have 2 kinds that are different from other years. My point being to make sure you've got the right one. Then there's the matter of the washer/spacer that goes in behind the harmonic balancer. This spacer makes the balancer stick out about 1/8" to align with the water pump pulley. The water pump pulley protrudes about 1/8" because of the front motor mount. Make sure those 2 things are right. Then I believe you want to mount the bracket in such a way so that it is in its forwardmost position towards the front of the car. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Yes. They'll fit in the tub and the lug pattern is the same. But the hub opening on the wheel may be just a tad too small to seat properly. Or, if it does seat, to come off easily. Try it. But if the fit of the wheel hub opening onto the wheel hub is tight, file a little material off the wheel opening. Try both the front and the rear. I seem to remember one is slightly bigger than the other. We're talking 64s of inches here, so it may not be a problem for some wheels on some hubs. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

It is adjusted all the way out so there is no help there. I don't think I messed with anything under the dash when I pulled the drivers side dash out. I pulled the booster off the car when I was working in the engine compartment but that's about it. I will see if I inadvertently moved the switch bracket. I tried bending it a little to see if that helps but it didn't. My memory is a little bad on brake pedal height before I started working on my car. Can someone give me an idea the distance of the pedal to the floor on a C3 with power brakes and 4 speed? Thanks. And yes Lee it is a PITA to work under that dash!

I don't think the corvette parts business is any different than any wholesale/retail business be it corvette parts or building materials. Yes, there are many parts that are only manufactured by one or two manufacturers and wholesaled to various retailers. Generally you can get a better price if you locate the manufacturer, however most manufacturers, if they sell direct to the public at all will sell at the retail price level. Regarding the purchasing parts from one supplier and receiving them from someone else, hey it's a big business and I'm sure that these guy's are helping each other out all the time. It helps you get your parts faster and makes you happy. IMHO the supplier that sold you the part is the guy you deal with if there is a problem. He is the one who took your money and your recourse is with him.

I expected to, and did, see Quantra (for belts), DeWitt (for radiators), LOF Glass (now Plinkington for window glass), Dobbins (for decals), and a few other familiar names like Paragon for various other items. But what really surprised me was page after page after page where Ecklers was listed as the licensee. . . and, in many instances, it was for stuff which it seems very unlikely they would make themselves. My guess, and its just a guess, is that Ecklers saw an opportuninity to, and did, get the jump on a lot of vendors/ manufacturers back whenever it was that GM first started to license "GM Reproduction Parts". Its only speculation on my part, but it would seem, on the stuff they do hold a license for and do not make, that they would have some type of deal with the guys who do not and do. I haven't bought anything from Ecklers in quite a while, and, with a mid-year, have been able to get, and been pleased with, most things through LIC and Paragon.

I can't adjust the switch since it is all the way out. Assuming I did not move the switch or brackets or brake pedal attachments, I could only come up with the booster limiting rearward travel of the pedal. I might be all wrong here. I pulled the booster off and it did not appear to be malfunctioning or have anything in it (the filter is in place). The booster is a little over a year old so it is in good shape. I was able to bleed my brakes so it works that way. Maybe I'm making too much out of this but it bothers me when I don't think I messed with something and now it doesn't work like it did before. (maybe that's the nature of the beast).

That means that WOT at 3000 RPM and cruising at 3000 RPM will have different characteristics. If this is not what differentiates between the differing opening points, you need to check the diaphram and the linkage for the secondary controls. I would : 1) Get the vacuum rod length the right length 2) Use a heavier spring The heavier spring should make it a more gradual opening, but to get to that point, you will need to adjust the metering rod lengths. I know the old holleys were "adjustable" in this fashion by bending the rods (even their support "experts" told people to do this).

It functions on a simple physics lever, pushing a rod at the back of the booster, which has the spring built in. Diagnosing a simple system like this is rather nice. If a brake pedal fails to return, the booster's spring has failed. If pushing the pedal fails to move the rod in the master cylinder, the boosters diaphragm has failed. If the rod moves in the master cylinder, and the pedal returns to normal position, braking problems are either in the brake lines or the caliper assemblies.

The gauge read higher than the thermometer, but you have to remember, the thermometer was in the radiator filler neck on the radiator cap side of the radiator. This location is on the cooler end of the radiator, after the coolant was cooled.

That seems ok. A clevis screws on to the rod going to the brake pedal. The threads are only about a 1/4 inch or so. I don't think that will make much difference. I don't know about the rod where it goes inside the booster. I removed the filters to look inside. It doesn't look like there is an adjustment.

If you wish, I can send you a spring to use. I did not know you had moved, and only looked under the old address which apparently is also still in our data base. I stopped at that zip code, not realizing you were also listed under a numerically higher zip code. I had my wife check the hoses in stock at the warehouse. That is one of two hoses that comes WITHOUT a spring. The other is the 68-72 SB aluminum radiator lower hose numbered 3917699. Both hoses are actually manufactured by Goodyear, not me. We buy it from another well known supplier and those two do not come with springs. Go figure.

The primary symptom was that the wiper door would open every time I started the car. (It still does, but is barely perceptible...and I'm tired of looking for what is almost certainly a very small leak.) In the process of working on this, I replaced a number of parts and assumed that the new ones worked fine. In some cases, the parts were tested before installation. All of the parts came from Corvette Central....more on that later. Both vacuum relays look close to original, but without any hint of where they were made or by whom...and both failed almost immediately. (Too bad I didn't know this, but spending a bunch of time cussing and wringing my hands ultimately led me in the right direction.) Then there was the matter of the defective "over ride" switch they sent me, and graciously replaced...with another leaky one. Check your new parts carefully, and don't assume that they are faultless! CC did quickly refund my money and the shipping, without any hassles, but I'd probably get my relays from GMpartsdirect or some such. Ya' know what they say "Coitus Interruptus" oops, I mean " Caveat Emptor"! steve meltzer ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

When I put on the cruise, the speed increases and never stop. When I push on the same button, the speed decreases and when I release the button, the speed increases again till maximum speed !!! The support on the footbrake pedal cancels the cruise. In summary, I do not manage to define a speed. The set point is not respected. Can somebody tell me what I must do, check or change ? Any ideas ?

The current production run of this color is flat and not semi-gloss. The color is used for all cars from 59-64. This problem is in both the Aerosol and the Quarts. They have informed us that they are working to correct this problem. 2) Front suspension kit again from Corvette America. Part fits from 53-62. This kit is imported (first bad thing), and secondly the upper inner a/arm shafts are not tapered. Both ends are the large o.d. which makes them impossible to install in the car. Our customer bought this kit and wanted us to install it. The upper inner shaft will pass thru the back of the housing but not the front. After checking the shaft we found that both ends of the shaft were the same size. We talked with them about this and they told us that there were 440 parts in the field since they began selling this item and no returns. (Are people just not installing them?) They also told me that all the shaft's were made exactly the same as the set we had. If you have one of these kits, check them before you attempt to install.

The supports, small 'L' shaped brackets that attach to the shields with wing nuts do not appear to line up properly with the exhaust manifold holes, but that may be because I don't fully understand which supports should be used in different locations. Some of the supports are shaped so as to be offset (crooked 'L' shape), while others are shaped in a normal 90 degree shape. I've studied the diagrams in the Assembly Instructions Manual, but cannot see where any of the supports have this offset feature. Any suggestions/help with this is greatly appreciated.

I want to apologize to the group for losing my head on my brake switch/pedal problem. I crawled (literally) under the dash last night to look at the situation. I grabbed the brake switch bracket with some vice grips to see if I could bend it. The bracket moved! Apparently, over the year or so that I had the booster out of the car, the pressure of the spring on the pedal was pushing the switch bracket to the rear. It was not easy for me to move it by hand so I guess that spring can exert a lot of pressure over time. Thanks to all those that offered words of wisdom and support.

When I put on the cruise, the speed increases and never stop. When I push on the same button, the speed decreases and when I release the button, the speed increases again till maximum speed !!! The support on the footbrake pedal cancels the cruise. In summary, I do not manage to define a speed. The set point is not respected. Can somebody tell me what I must do, check or change ? Any ideas ? Francois. BonJour ! I don't have the speed control on my 75 but as far as I know they are a closed loop system, there is a sensor that measures the speed of the vehicle and sends a signal to the servo that controls the throttle. The servo attempts to move to match the signal that is sent to it. So I'd suspect either the sensor is not sending a correct signal - or the servo is not matching the signal because the Pot it uses to determine if it has moved enough in the proper direction is worn. My first suspect would be the servo as it is most affected by vibration etc. HTH Greg Greene ISP VE6CSQ Programmer Analyst ITS NOTICE:: This communication is intended ONLY for the use of the person or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential or legally privileged.

Tom - The "straight" L-shaped supports (3819758 in the A.I.M.) go on the inboard bolt of the paired end bolts on both sides; there are four of these. The other four L-shaped supports (two different "angled" shapes, symmetrically opposite, two angled one way, two angled the other way) go on the center pair of bolts on each side - the ones on the forward center bolts angle forward, and the ones on the rearward center bolts angle rearward. The A.I.M. illustration is pretty generic - doesn't show that some are angled and some are straight.

The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) ----------------------------------------------------- As some of you know, I've been working with #^%%$%^ vacuum system on my LT-1, off and on now for awhile. The primary symptom was that the wiper door would open every time I started the car. (It still does, but is barely perceptible...and I'm tired of looking for what is almost certainly a very small leak.) In the process of working on this, I replaced a number of parts and assumed that the new ones worked fine. In some cases, the parts were tested before installation. All of the parts came from Corvette Central....more on that later. Both vacuum relays look close to original, but without any hint of where they were made or by whom...and both failed almost immediately. (Too bad I didn't know this, but spending a bunch of time cussing and wringing my hands ultimately led me in the right direction.) Then there was the matter of the defective "over ride" switch they sent me, and graciously replaced...with another leaky one. Check your new parts carefully, and don't assume that they are faultless! CC did quickly refund my money and the shipping, without any hassles, but I'd probably get my relays from GMpartsdirect or some such. Ya' know what they say "Coitus Interruptus" oops, I mean " Caveat Emptor"! steve meltzer ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

So it's a non-original but "numbers matching" car. :-D What's the value of a non-original restamped '67 L-89? I figured an original '67 L-89 might be ~$200k? Do any of the remaining L-89s still have the documented original engine? It's a good thing he has the tank sticker otherwise it would just be another NOM '67.

Nothing happens. Nada!! I have power to my starter, the coil, and the horn relay (which feeds electricity to just about everything). I can activate the starter with a remote starter button hooked to the solenoid but I'm not getting any fire from the distributor. I have a couple of electrical questions that might help me track this down. 1. Is there a fusible link in dash wiring harness for the starter wiring? (I replaced the all the engine compartment wiring harnesses with new ones) 2. If I am getting 6 volts to the coil with the key on (12 volts to the horn relay and starter), shouldn't the distributor fire from that source? I would say that I am pulling my hair out, but I don't have that much to work with. Thanks for any and all help.

Let me add something. This started before I began my restoration. I figured it was my crappy wiring harness under the hood. That's the main reason I started my restoration. There were so many splices and twisted wires that I was surprised the damn thing ran. When it first happened I was trying to start my car. It turned over a few times then when I tried again - Nothing. Just like I have now. That's why I'm wondering if there is something under the dash. I had the starter tested and it was ok.

I had two problems and I believe both are WCFB carburetor related. Problem one: Car ran fine for about 20 miles, stopped at a couple stop lights with no problems. When we went to make a left turn off a main high way after waiting a few minutes for on coming traffic the engine stalled. After a hard restart, I had no problems for the 20+ miles returning home. Second problem: This was the first time that the secondaries have been activated and there was hesitation or a slight decline in power. At normal driving speeds car operated fine.

Set the accelertaion pump linkage on the longest stroke setting. If that doesn't help you are probably going to have to look at slightly larger secondary jets. AFB jets will fit, start with .003 larger. Don't know where to suggest finding these. Stalling is harder to trace. Possibly the left turn had something to do with it but not likely with a newly rebuilt carb. Old WCFB's sometimes burn out a specific gasket passage resulting in allow gas to being sucked into passages and flood the engine upon left turn. I'd check the float drop levels, might experiment setting them 1/16" lower than spec. Hard restart coud ALSO be ignition related. Check that timing is spot on and the dwell is correct. Since carb problems are often more transparent than ignition, I suggest knowing your that distributor is operating correctly is easiest place to start.

I say "area" because I have been plagued with water leaks at the junction of the water pump and the engine mount/head - primarily on the driver's side - which I thought I had finally fixed about 1.5 years ago by using extra washers on the bolts (the bolt was bottoming out. This time, it appears to be leaking on the passenger's side, and it was too messy with water (and hot) for me to determine where it was coming from. The pump is a rebuilt correct pump I bought about 3 years ago, and the shaft isn't wobbling. Is there an easy way to tell if this fairly "new" pump has failed? Should I have it rebuilt while I have it off just in case? Would a local machine shop likely be able to do this, as I'd like to get it back on the road ASAP (time is miles not driven...)? One option, I suppose, is to put an aftermarket one on now and send the correct one off somewhere to be rebuilt, but I'd rather do the job just once (more).

All you will need is access to a press. Whatever you do, DO NOT press the shaft out using the water inlet/outlet legs for support! You stand a better than even chance of breaking one of the legs off the pump. Support the pump in the center of the casting. This pump is a fairly common casting and you may be able to find one at your FLAPS. I have searched through the pumps at my local O'reilley and found more than one original GM C1 casting. I also understand that Arthur Gould will turn you pump around in a very short time frame. I do not have his contact info but he is in the Hemmings all the time.

If there is rust from the weep hole, then the seals are bad. However, in this case, it seems the pump housing may be "warped" - although warped is not correct for a water pump housing. But there could be something not aligning right with the housing. Also, check the bolt length. You may have the wrong bolts or the housing may be wrong for your engine. There are several versions of the SBC water pump even tho the casting numbers are correct. -----Original Message----- From: crpl-bounces+sbrown3=gvtc.com@redacted.email [mailto:crpl-bounces+sbrown3=gvtc.com@redacted.email]On Behalf Of John Turner Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 4:53 AM To: crpl@redacted.email Subject: '62 water pump The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) ----------------------------------------------------- Last night, I had a heavy water leak from the water pump area. I say "area" because I have been plagued with water leaks at the junction of the water pump and the engine mount/head - primarily on the driver's side - which I thought I had finally fixed about 1.5 years ago by using extra washers on the bolts (the bolt was bottoming out. This time, it appears to be leaking on the passenger's side, and it was too messy with water (and hot) for me to determine where it was coming from. The pump is a rebuilt correct pump I bought about 3 years ago, and the shaft isn't wobbling. Is there an easy way to tell if this fairly "new" pump has failed? Should I have it rebuilt while I have it off just in case? Would a local machine shop likely be able to do this, as I'd like to get it back on the road ASAP (time is miles not driven...)? One option, I suppose, is to put an aftermarket one on now and send the correct one off somewhere to be rebuilt, but I'd rather do the job just once (more).

Extra washers = movement. Get the correct length bolts in at least grade 5. These waterpump to block bolts should be torqued (35# I think, best you check) and retorqued occasionally. There is a lot of tension on these four bolts, like holding the engine up plus expected to seal water passages. Not the Generals best design solution. Notice they didn't use this approach on ten zillion Chevrolets of this era. Possibly you have small cracks in the engine mount (I did) between the water passage and the bolt holes. Cracks would allow water under pressure to work out past the bolt threads. Absolutely no fan blade movement is a good sign. There is a small (bleed) hole on the bottom side of the pump snout if the internal pump seal has failed, you should see evidence of leakage out this hole. A machine shop should be able to rebuild a pump, actually pretty simple but specific dimensions must be held. I would send mine to Art Gould.

John - It's unlikely that the pump has anything to do with the leak, assuming its mating surfaces aren't pitted. This is a chronic issue with all C1's, and usually relates to the condition of the engine mount bracket; if the mating surfaces on either side of the bracket are pitted, you'll have leaks. Period. Sometimes filling and metal-finishing can restore those pitted surfaces to smooth and dead flat, but it's usually a better idea to just replace the bracket if it shows pitting, use sealer and two new gaskets per side, and use temporary studs in the upper holes on each side to locate the "sandwich" of parts while assembling so they don't shift and wipe off the sealer, install the two lower bolts, and then swap out the studs for bolts in the upper holes. Make sure you use thread sealer on all four bolts, as they go into the water jacket. Make sure you have the correct length bolts - none of them should bottom out, as they go through the front wall of the block and protrude into the water jacket; none go into blind holes; if one "bottoms out", it's WAY too long for the application.

The L89 option in '67 was not a widely known option and carried an option price tag of around $5K. Not something the average Joe kicking tires at the local Chevy dealer would be interested, esp. when the HP rating was lower than the 435HP version (I think the L89 was listed at 430HP). But, those in the know, the racing big-wigs, were the likely buyers. These cars were raced and raced hard! I would bet that most if not all of the original 16 blocks have had connecting rods violently exit the scene (hopefully after beating the Cobra in the next lane). These engines have probably been apart hundreds of times in these cars in the short time that were raced. The key to the value of these cars is in the heads. If the car (i.e. tank sticker) is legit, and the heads are the real McCoy, then I would say the car deserves the value. MHO, Mike ’66 L36 BTW, did it sell?

I think their value lies in documentation that proves conclusively that they were one of the original sixteen cars built, not whether the block is (allegedly) "original".

Pulled the cluster and had the speedo fixed and the tach "tuned up" including a fresh magnet. Put everything back together with new speedo and tach cables lubed with synthetic grease....everything is working fine BUT there is still a noise, kind of a chirping or ringing noise which seems at this point to be coming from the distributor/tach drive area. It is definitely engine speed sensitive. The distributor is a dual point mechanical advance only type. One theory that has been advanced is that the advance weights are sticking or rattling. ANY thoughts?? Suggested diagnostic procedure?? BTW I have another "correct" dual point distributor w/mech advance only that I COULD substitute....but I'm looking to certainly identify the source of the problem before I yank the distributor. Question # 2 GROUNDING REAR HARNESS/GAS Sender This one's electrical(UGH!) probably a grounding gremlin. My gas gauge reads higher when the brakes are applied and fluctuates when the turn signals are used. I have studied the AIM, but it isn't clear where the main rear harness ground is. Can someone point me in the right direction? Related to the grounding of the gas level sending unit...is accessing the top of the tank(std 16 gal) as simple as they describe in the ST12.(unlatch the top, fold up the rear section, remove the window protector(felt like), unscrew the tank cover and voila...you're there). Usually there's something the don't tell you.

When I put the '56 together, I was shocked at the corrosion/erosion of the water pump bolts, so I got the same lengths/thread, etc. in high quality stainless bolts. Somebody ran straight water in there for a long time. I probably sacrificed a little strength, but I am pretty gentle with the car . . . I think I got the bolts at a fastener supply place in South Houston/Pasadena.

Usually there's something the don't tell you. Hal - VERY common C1 problem, as the fuel sender is grounded common with the rear lamp harness (at the left rear corner of the trunk). Yup, remove the tank cover and run a dedicated ground wire from the sending unit across to the right, down through the hole where the gas feed pipe goes through the underbody; drill a hole in the frame below that hole, put a ring terminal on the wire, and attach it with a self-tapping screw and a star washer. Permanent cure, no more flickering fuel gauge.

Last time, I squirted carb cleaner in each hole and tried to scrape and loosen any crud on the base with a nail, and then used compressed air, but I didn't get a good feeling as to how I was doing...

When I put the '56 together, I was shocked at the corrosion/erosion of the water pump bolts, so I got the same lengths/thread, etc. in high quality stainless bolts. Somebody ran straight water in there for a long time. I probably sacrificed a little strength, but I am pretty gentle with the car . . . I think I got the bolts at a fastener supply place in South Houston/Pasadena.

Try 'Hylomar' for sealing mating surfaces and bolt threads. As I understand it, this product was originally developed for use by Rolls Royce. I have used it for years and am sold on the stuff. I started using it when I was building hot rod rotary engines for my Mazda race cars. (Next time you're in the pits watching the professional racers service their race cars, take a peek at what they use.) Hylomar used to be VERY hard to obtain as it was only made in England, but no longer. Your FLAPS probably has it hanging on the rack. Just be sure to follow the directions for use.

Smear some grease on either of them before using and most of the crud will come out with it when you unscrew it. GO SLOW. BE SURE the chaser/tap is starting in the thread correctly. You DON'T want to strip out the water pump holes in the block. Greg Mankin --- "Turner, John A.

The idea is that you want to take one side of the bolt off to leave room for the garbage that will get turned out of the hole. After grinding, turn the nut off, to clean the remaining threads some. If you are careful inserting it and threading it, you can clean it up pretty well. Just run it through a few times gently.

There's a little passage (vacuum, I believe) that sucks in excess fuel in a left hander, thus causing the temporary flooding that leads to stalling. The cure is a little piece of metal tubing placed in that passage. Email me off line and I can send you some more specific info on how to fix it. We used a little piece cut from a set of TV rabbit ears...solved that problem. Also, make sure to blow out the passages with compressed air, soak the accelerator pump in oil overnight to get a good fit (my "new" pump was a POS, so we used the old one), check the floats carefully as well. (my carb was rebuilt a year ago by a "professional" and the floats were way, way off!) let me know if I can help you with my meager, but newly acquired knowledge! steve meltzer ----------------------------------------- ____________________________________________________________________________________ ****CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE**** This e-mail is the property of The Methodist Hospital and/or its relevant affiliates and may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

I have used black lacquer since it is so fast drying, but I am sure that enamel would work just as well. The proper color is a very translucent black color. You should be able to see all the grain of the plywood. I would cut the paint 3 to 1 with thinner and see how that looks when it dries. You can always put another coat on if you think it needs it, but you can't take one off! Judges also look for glue slopped around the label edges. The repro labels are all self adhesive, so you will need to put down some contact adhesive anyway to get the right look for judging.

Last week I had my air conditioning condenser replace. The shop that did the work had to remove and replace the hood. They told me they had trouble adjusting it to fit. Well, when I got back home 180 miles away. The hood would not release, after much gentle persuasion I was able to get the passenger side to release but the Drivers side is still stuck. I have removed the plug in the wiper compartment and spent several hours trying to get the release to work, but I have convinced myself that they release may not be the problem. I can pull the cable from the passenger side but it still will not pop. Please, please does someone/anyone have any ideas for me, before I ignite the entire car?

I was promptly contacted by the vendor, Dr. Rebuild, after he viewed my post to this list (I was seeking verification that a spring was indeed "correct" for this application). In short, the Dr. had a new spring to me in less than 3 business days of learning of the issue....and while I wish the hose had originally arrived complete with the spring, I appreciate his customer service efforts to quickly resolve this situation. Note: I'm not an employee, friend, stockholder, or distant relative of the aforementioned entity, just a customer.... Hope everyone had a good "Drive your Vette to work day" today.

Turns out that the passenger-side upper bolt which also serves as the mounting site for the generator bracket had broken. Fortunately for me, enough was sticking out of the head that I could remove it with my trusty pliers. I borrowed a tap from a mechanic friend and "ran" all 4 holes with grease, and am awiating Mary Jo to send this specialized bolt to me. As for the other bolts - I'm replacing all of them. Stupid question - how exactly do I tell if a bolt is Grade 5 or better? Seems like it had something to do with the number of ridges on the head...

I am able to reach through the drivers side opening and reach the latch to move it. If the opening is too small you might be able to reach up from underneath. You might have to jack the car up to get that far underneath. (be careful) On the 72, the cable pulls back on the drivers side hood latch. The latch pulls on the cable going to the passenger side and moves it. Good luck.

Thanks to all that have helped me in this endeavor. It is my first attempt at restoring a car and it has been humbling. Looking back I see where I made plenty of mistakes and wasted lots of money I didn't need to. But without this group, I would have been really lost. Thanks again. And don't think I'm going away.

Push and pull up, forcing the hood to change geometry or shape slightly. Perhaps shortening the distance between latch centers. The helper pushes "against you" to make sure the hood doesn't move in the wrong direction. What has happened is the triangular shape of the hood bolt has been forced into the latch opening and is stuck in the undercut. Probably in the direction of the release mechanism which is in an open position. The cable between the two latches should have some slack in it. So should the cockpit handle. Deep breath...and push, forcing it to pop open. Good luck and put the matches away.

SCOTT, Please don't ignite your 74. I have had the similar problem and it took a "great deal" of patience to get the job done. If you just keep trying and have patience, I think you will get it through the release hole. I had to use the screwdriver to puch the release and at the same time kinda "work the hood" in a slight circular motion and wala! It popped out. I was a very happy camper. BTW, was the place you took the car to have the A/C worked on a Corvette shop or just a regular "run of the mill" A/C outfit? I found (before I got so frustrated that I decided I would ALWAYS do my own work on my car) that unless the shop you choose knows their way around Vettes really well, that they likely will mess things up one way or another. They don't know about the nuances that need to be dealt with on Vettes. Hope ya get er worked out soon so you can relax and enjoy your ride again. Blessings !!

I checked out system and found these results. With ignition switch in run position have 7.5 volts at ballast resistor. wire that goes to coil.When start car get full voltage 12.5 to coil. As I understand points systems with ballast resistor, this is correct. When checked voltage with engine runnung had full 12.5 volts from coil pos. and engine ground. Since I am getting full volts with engine running ign coil gets extremly hot and point dwell has changed to 35.

Does this make sense Help me solve this Thanks 60 > Toy Your first assumption about how the system works is correct. As to the problem (12.5V at the coil when running), the coil (+) only sees two power sources - the primary feed from the resistor, and the cranking-only full 12V feed from the "R" terminal on the starter solenoid. I'd go for the solenoid first - sounds like it's continuing to feed a full 12V after the starter disengages. You can verify this by disconnecting the 18-ga. dark green wire from the solenoid and checking voltage again at the coil with the engine running; if it's 7-8 volts (as it should be from the resistor), you've found the problem, and it's time for a new solenoid.

But, none of the manuals give me a clue about removing the heater core, by the way this is an A/C car. So far I have removed the plate in the engine compartment that covers the core and I'm looking at the passenger compartment and will remove the one nut that seems to have something to do with holding the heater box, if this doesn't do it I will stop till I hear from the forum.

Lay your new carpet out in the sun first to soften it up, and don't cut ANYTHING to trim it until you're absolutely sure it fits the way you want it. Get under the car first and locate the ends of the trim screws that attach the carpet to the floor and mark them so you can come back later and stick an awl through those holes to make the holes in the new carpet for the screws - no point in having two sets of screw holes in the floor. This is also a good time to think about installing a heat barrier kit on the bare floor before you install the new carpet - makes a big difference in cockpit heat.

It is cheaper than buying at Jeg's, etc. However, you have to cut it to fit - since we are all DIY, this probably is a good thing - you can cut it exactly how you like it. It comes in a roll of different sizes. Just ask a floor clerk for "Reflectix Insulation" - this is a brand name. There are others on the market equally as good - I just happen to use this one. The ones you buy at Jeg's are pre-cut and very expensive. Everyone on this board suggest gluing it to the floor pan. I just laid mine in and then laid the carpet on top. I could not see a compelling reason to glue it. Perhaps we can get some feedback on this - to glue or not to glue.

I don't know that you need to all that, and I'll defer to Ken, but its what I ended up doing--the dash was in at the time and it was my first attempt at replacing the heater core in my car. When you are ready to pull the distribution box, be careful to pry it as Ken suggested and be mindful that two of the studs which go through the firewall are anchored to the box and it can crack if you force it too much. It was an easy fix with some epoxy, but I overdid it on one of them. Same thing when you get back to reassembling the box and reinstalling all the little screws, be mindful that the holes in the box won't take too much tightening. It was an easy fix with some epoxy, but I overdid it on a few of them. Ditto when you close the rivets to the metal components inside the box, be mindful that the box itself won't take much pounding. It was an easy fix with some epoxy, but I overdid it on a couple of them. As you can see, there was a definite trend in my first time through learning experience wnich, now that I've shared it with you, you can hopefully avoid making the same mistakes. On a more positive note, however, I am now pretty good at working with epoxy.

You can replace the insert however. I did one but I bought another door on ebay for about $20 so I wouldn't ruin my original one. You have to drill out the rivets being careful not to drill through the door. Then you take it apart, clean and repaint it and put in a new insert. You can buy the inserts from any of the usual suppliers of parts. Then you have to very carefully tap the old rivets and replace the rivet heads with a little screw that looks like a threaded rivet. This is not easy and to be honest I was only able to tap about half of them. I J.B. welded the others. It turned out great and I have less than $50 in it and I still have my original door. You can however get it professionally done. I would suggest Corvette Specialities of Maryland, the web site is : http://www.corvettespecialtiesofmd.com/ Good luck!

On one of the connections where it connects to the head it appears to have a very slight defect which is causing it to leak. I currently have one gasket on, which is leaking. My question is, could I use something like JB Weld to fill in the defect and then put on double gaskets to stop the leak? Would the JB Weld be able to handle the hot temps, or is there something better I should use to fix the leak? Is there some kind of gasket searler than might work better? ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

I bought a roll of the material and cut my own, again at a substantial savings over the pre-cut kits. It does make a tremendous difference in the cockpit heat. I did not glue mine, the trim pieces and kick panel that hold the majority of the carpet in place, as well as the carpet itself hold the insulation in place very well. A hint, don't forget to put the heat barrier under the seats too. You can cut a rectangle that fits under and between the seat frames and doesn't interfere with seat adjustment. That area makes up a substantial surface are that is not protected by carpet and such and makes a difference in heat flow into the cockpit. In the C-1 the pipes run directly under the seats, so anything there is better than nothing.

First, I have an unrestored '58 and we looked at the speaker grille and it looks like it goes in from the bottom with the t-bolts going down from the top through the grille and speaker. I assume that is the correct assembly sequence. When he puts the dash pad over it the speaker grille is setting below the dash pad level. Should the speaker grille be flush with the dash pad? He's using an Al Knoch pad, has any one else used this pad and had to trim the foam around the grille to get the right thickness?

I am almost sure the engine has never been apart - due to a lot of the original nuts, holders, etc. that are used to facilitate the assembly process. So, I believe mine had the exhaust gaskets on them from the factory. And, you are right, aftermarket gasket companies (Felpro included) have exhaust gaskets in the kit. I am using them on my rebuild since they had them originally. I will look in my AIM to see what it shows.

If you'll check the exhaust manifold removal/installation section in the Chassis Service Manual, you'll note that there is no reference at all to gaskets, and if you have the NCRS Judging Guide for your car, you'll find a note in the "Mechanical" section that requires an originality deduction for the presence of any exhaust manifold gaskets. Sixty million of them left Flint and Tonawanda over the years, and not one had exhaust manifold gaskets.

On the heater core, and between this and the NCRS lists (can I say that?), there is some great stuff archived on new versus recoring. A lot of guys, including myself, apparently find the original Harrison date coded core when they do this job. Its not a judging issue to my knowledge because it can't be seen (although I do seem to recall seeing a post somewhere about subtle differences in the tubes), but its still something you'll find yourself thinking about. On the seal kits, and while they all have the same basic stuff, there are some differences. Some kits will do just the box, others will also give you stuff for the ducts. Some kits have peel-off plastic with advesive underneath, others do not and need to be glued with weatherstrip adhesive. Also, if you need to remove the metal bafles and reconditioning them because of rust, then another question you will want to ask your supplier is whether their kit includes the rivets. Another thing I found VERY helpful when it came time to reassemble the box was having taken a whole mess of digital images of the box BEFORE I broke it all down. There are several little brackets and such which, without the pictures, I would of had a hard time figuring out where to position.

I found the 3M stuff at my local hardware store, and the Novus you can buy on line. Novus is used by telephone hobbyists to buff out scratches on both the older softer and newer harder plastics. Its sold in two consistencies--one for heavy and another for fine scratch removal. They also make a cleaner. Unless the damage is really bad, the fine consistency (the 3M product is for fine scratches also) should bring your lenses back up nicely.

Remove the 2 little screws holding the shift pattern plate on. Underneath are 2 more larger screw-headed bolts. They are what hold that console plate on. Those 2 larger screws go into 2 special nuts on the underside of the transmission tunnel. The usual Corvette vendors supply them ($6). I believe those nuts somehow attach themselves to the underside so that they will not turn when you unscrew the bolts. (Don't know if they work. That job is scheduled for later this year.) If you don't have those special nuts, you'll need a helper to hold regular nuts while you tighten or loosen the screws. ("Looking for a helper to hold my nuts while I screw." Good luck with that one.) I didn't use any glue to hold my carpet in place. Doesn't seem to need it. It's been years now. Look at the AIM. There are supposed to be 2 trim screws on the outboard sides of the foot wells. My '62 only had 1 on the upper side. Look for old screw holes in the positions indicated in the AIM when you get the old carpet out. You can refind them with the new carpet in from the other (engine) side of the firewall. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

If it was just a driver or a modified car, I'd put a new windshield in it. The Eastwood kit is for polishing out small areas, and it takes FOREVER, and still leaves optically-distorted areas (and those areas won't be cleared by the wiper blades, either).

Why? As you polish deeper, you're grinding the windshield like an optical lens, and you'll get tremendous distortion. Also, because the glass is laminated, you have to be very careful with the heat generated in the polishing process. You can delaminate the glass, discolor it, or actually break it due to the heat. The "stuff" from Eastwood is something like selenium oxide??. Messy too.

Kelly, It's worth keeping in mind that if everything on the '54's cooling system is in good condition, the car won't overheat, even if idling. While there might be 6 Volt electric fans you could add, if it were my car I'd go thru the entire cooling system first to make sure everything is as it should be. FWIW: I have a '54 that's been in the family for many decades. In all the time we've had it, and under all conditions imagineable, I've never seen the temperature guage more than a needle's width above mid scale.

If it was just a driver or a modified car, I'd put a new windshield in it. The Eastwood kit is for polishing out small areas, and it takes FOREVER, and still leaves optically-distorted areas (and those areas won't be cleared by the wiper blades, either).

The hose/manifold assembly on my 1974 Coupe (454) has a very slight kink in the tubing at the compressor end of the VIR hose. A vacuum/leak test detected a small leak at the kink. I have searched everywhere and can't find a replacement hose, NOS or restoration. Before I waste any R12 on system charging, I'm fixing every leak I can find. A new VIR will go in this week. With this, and a hose repair, I hope to have AC soon. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

If the scratches are really deep you may have to live with it. The lower windshield molding on my '58 was scratched to the point that I could not get them all out for fear of getting the area too thin. But they are barely noticeable after buffing. Hope this helps. Best Regards from Connecticut, Mark S.

I've done everything else to minimize heat and thought I had the problem solved. While I've had improvement, when it finally turned into summer this week here in Michigan, I found my feet are still warm... just warm, not hot anymore. This week I'm installing a Stant hot water shutoff valve in each heater hose. I'm going to try and hide them down low under the evaporator core to keep the stock look.

When I did my '58 I did not bolt it to the dash, I simply pressed it into the dash pad (it was a snug fit). Before installing the pad (with the grill in place) I put 4 10-32 x 1" screws in from the top and secured them with a nut, then when it was time to install the speaker I left the nuts where they were and added 4 more. The end result was the speaker was the thickness of a 10-32 nut lower. Worked for me. Best Regards from Connecticut, Mark S.

I painted the valve flat black first. I then used 2 6" wood clamps to clamp the 3/4" heater hose, cut the hose with no water loss and installed the valve with the stem down. All I do now is reach under and open or close as needed. After speaking to several people, I elected to install just one valve on the output side of the water pump. I was told that the 2nd was not necessary. This small mod greatly decreased the interior heat and increase the summer driving comfort.

I usually just use vise grips with a piece of terry cloth towel to clamp off the coolant flow. Regarding whether to use one or two valves, common sense tells me just one will work. However, other posts here and other forums mention that there is still heat transfer via the coolant on the return side. I think I'm going to install both and leave the return side open. This may be just enough heat to use the defroster or warm up my wife's feet occasionally. If too hot, the return valve gets closed. I'll use your suggestion on paint and location Lee Snyder 1974 Coupe NCRS |---------+-------------------------------------------------> | | "John Tambourine" | | | | | | Sent by: | | | crpl-bounces+lee.snyder=gm.com@redacted.email| | | e-resto.com | | | | | | | | | 06/24/2003 08:12 AM | | | Please respond to jt; Please respond | | | to crpl | | | | |---------+-------------------------------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: | | cc: | | Subject: RE: shut off hot water | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) ----------------------------------------------------- Lee, I install one shut off valve last year in my '76 and it made a world of difference. I painted the valve flat black first. I then used 2 6" wood clamps to clamp the 3/4" heater hose, cut the hose with no water loss and installed the valve with the stem down. All I do now is reach under and open or close as needed. After speaking to several people, I elected to install just one valve on the output side of the water pump. I was told that the 2nd was not necessary. This small mod greatly decreased the interior heat and increase the summer driving comfort.

So, would two valves work better? And how would you turn them off to remove all the water in the core? While the engine is running I would think you shut the pump side, wait a second, then shut the return side. Has anyone messed with this or know if this would work?

I usually just use vise grips with a piece of terry cloth towel to clamp off the coolant flow. Regarding whether to use one or two valves, common sense tells me just one will work. However, other posts here and other forums mention that there is still heat transfer via the coolant on the return side. I think I'm going to install both and leave the return side open. This may be just enough heat to use the defroster or warm up my wife's feet occasionally. If too hot, the return valve gets closed.

I painted the valve flat black first. I then used 2 6" wood clamps to clamp the 3/4" heater hose, cut the hose with no water loss and installed the valve with the stem down. All I do now is reach under and open or close as needed. After speaking to several people, I elected to install just one valve on the output side of the water pump. I was told that the 2nd was not necessary. This small mod greatly decreased the interior heat and increase the summer driving comfort.

I've done everything else to minimize heat and thought I had the problem solved. While I've had improvement, when it finally turned into summer this week here in Michigan, I found my feet are still warm... just warm, not hot anymore. This week I'm installing a Stant hot water shutoff valve in each heater hose. I'm going to try and hide them down low under the evaporator core to keep the stock look.

At idle it was reading between 210 and 220. When I was driving down the freeway it got up to about 250 on the gauge. However, it never seemed to "overheat". I used a temp gun last night and was reading 185-190 on the thermostat housing when the gauge was reading about 215. I checked other areas for temperature. I had the radiator cap off and shot the temperature of the coolant while the car was running. It was around 160. I purchased a new sensor from Lectric Ltd. when I rebuilt the engine. It seems I remember a thread some time ago about calibrating the temperature gauge. Can it be done or do I live with the high readings? Thanks.

However, with my '78, it used to have a lot of heat in the cockpit when I would get back in to return home after a stop at a destination. This is because it has a vacuum operated heater flow shutoff valve, as do several other years of Corvette. Unfortunately with a vacuum operated shutoff valve, when the engine is shut off, the valve opens and hot water from the engine will slowly circulate from the engine through the heater core and back to the water pump/engine (convective flow), while adding engine heat to the interior. The best way to stop this is to add a mechanical shutoff valve somewhere in the line to prevent residual flow. I even found a pull cable operated valve at my FLAPS so that I don't have to open the hood if I need heat on a cold day.

Lee, I had a "pin leak" in my aluminum and did a fix with JB Weld. I do refridgeration for a living and have found old JB to be invaluble in many a situation. You want to make sure that the area is very clean and rough it up just slightly with 150 grit sandpaper where you need to adhere. I like to let the mix lay around on the piece of plastic I mix it on for awhile till it starts to get a bit less runny. That way it will not sag off of the repair sight. I also put vacume on the system right after I apply the JB. Otherwise you might get a positive pressure in the system that pushes a bubble into your repair. With negative pressure inside, the JB will be nice and solid. Make sure to wait a full day before charging system up. I don't use this method on a "high side" leak. Don't know if it will hold there or not. The other alternative would of course be to replace with new. Hoses are a bit of a job cause you need to remove the hood to get at the high side fitting on the condenser. I did replace my hoses a few years back and then went ahead at that time to do the change over to r134a. If you do the conversion, make sure that you or a competent shop drain, then clean the entire system and compressor. Don't want any particulate matter or old mineral oil in with the new oil and r134. If the area you wish to repair is actually crimped over, I would replace as the vibrations will make it fail again, probably fairly soon as the aluminum will fatigue and crack out at the crimp.

I'm sticking with R12. I still have 4 cans from the "old days". I use JB Weld for many things. I'm not sure I have the confidence to risk my R12 supply on it? I have very limited knowledge on AC systems. I do believe the hose from the compressor to VIR is the high pressure side. Can the area of the kink (it is slight) be soldered? With what? I have not found a source for a new hose. All vendors say it is discontinued. Apparently, the AC hose on 1974 models with 454 were unique to that year. Take off the hood??? I guess I haven't looked at the shop manual yet. I assumed I could reach into the hood opening or from underneath. Oh well, I need to detail that area of the engine compartment anyhow.

If you do the conversion, make sure that you or a competent shop drain, then clean the entire system and compressor. Don't want any particulate matter or old mineral oil in with the new oil and r134. If the area you wish to repair is actually crimped over, I would replace as the vibrations will make it fail again, probably fairly soon as the aluminum will fatigue and crack out at the crimp.

Lee - Soldering/brazing doesn't work well on aluminum - it needs to be heli-arc welded; try Four Seasons Radiator on 14 Mile Road across from the Oakland Mall; they've done custom aluminum heli-arc welding for me (Grand Sport radiator), and may be able to help you salvage your existing manifold assembly.

If you have a typical C3, the system raraely holds vacuum for more than a few minutes after the engine is shut down. This means the valve is then open to permit water flow. Under these circumstances, convection may allow hot water to enter the heater core. If you then start the car, you get a blast of hot air for a few seconds. As soon as the valve shuts, the heater core cools and all is right again. A single valve that maintains a positive shut off when the engine is stopped would not permit the above.

You should be able to find more information on this subject in the archives The short answer from me is: I just went through this same scenario two weeks ago. I measured the resistance of a few sending units in a pan of water. I measured the temperature of the cooling system in the car. I calculated what the calibration resistance should be for each sending unit. I had determined how to add the extra resistance (but didn't like my design because I didn't want to cut the wiring harness or jury-rig an extra connector). Then, it was suggested that the Wells TU-5 sending unit ($5 at AutoZone) was suppose to be pretty good for our application. I figured that $5 was a cheap investment and if it worked then I would not have to mess with the wiring harness. Well, the Wells TU-5 worked perfectly! Now, you didn't state what year or motor your car was so, I can only state that for my small block '63, it worked PERFECTLY.

At idle it was reading between 210 and 220. When I was driving down the freeway it got up to about 250 on the gauge. However, it never seemed to "overheat". I used a temp gun last night and was reading 185-190 on the thermostat housing when the gauge was reading about 215. I checked other areas for temperature. I had the radiator cap off and shot the temperature of the coolant while the car was running. It was around 160. I purchased a new sensor from Lectric Ltd. when I rebuilt the engine. It seems I remember a thread some time ago about calibrating the temperature gauge. Can it be done or do I live with the high readings? Thanks.

I'll try that out. After all I've spent, $5 is nothing. To answer your question Gary, I have a 454 in a 72. The old sensor did not have the correct connector on it. It was a button where the correct one has a spade (or male) connector. I don't know if this is one that Lectric Ltd has been advertising or not. I just called an ordered one for my car and engine. They seemed to be pretty accurate on wiring harnesses so I figured they would be accurate on temp sensors as well. I'll see what the TU-5 does. Thanks again.

I'll try that out. After all I've spent, $5 is nothing. To answer your question Gary, I have a 454 in a 72. The old sensor did not have the correct connector on it. It was a button where the correct one has a spade (or male) connector. I don't know if this is one that Lectric Ltd has been advertising or not. I just called an ordered one for my car and engine. They seemed to be pretty accurate on wiring harnesses so I figured they would be accurate on temp sensors as well. I'll see what the TU-5 does. Thanks again.

You should be able to find more information on this subject in the archives The short answer from me is: I just went through this same scenario two weeks ago. I measured the resistance of a few sending units in a pan of water. I measured the temperature of the cooling system in the car. I calculated what the calibration resistance should be for each sending unit. I had determined how to add the extra resistance (but didn't like my design because I didn't want to cut the wiring harness or jury-rig an extra connector). Then, it was suggested that the Wells TU-5 sending unit ($5 at AutoZone) was suppose to be pretty good for our application. I figured that $5 was a cheap investment and if it worked then I would not have to mess with the wiring harness. Well, the Wells TU-5 worked perfectly! Now, you didn't state what year or motor your car was so, I can only state that for my small block '63, it worked PERFECTLY.

You'll have to check around at some of the welding shops in your area (if they have a good reputation) to see if they can do it for you. I have an old classmate that is very good at aluminum welding. He's done some custom work for me before on aluminum gas tanks. I also have a good freind that owns a Vette restoration business. He has alot of NOS stuff around there and I will check with him to see if he has that hose set for a 74 BB. Will let ya know if he does. Either way you are gonna have to remove the hose assembly. I would then also replace the o-rings at all four ends, and while the system was open, I would replace the dryer/accumulator and flush they entire system, compressor included. Then replace oil with new. Doing the compressor requires removing/draining it as well. A new dryer/accum should cost about 85$ or so. It's really worth doing everything the right way if you are gonna put that "liquid Gold" back in. I've heard of desperados paying up to $100 bucks a 12 oz can for it. If I had only known !! I would have stock piled it when I was paying $12 for a 30 pounder. Who'd have known! Blessings !

I have the new dryer/accumulator (actually a Valve-In-Receiver on my car). New O-rings are always used. To drain the compressor, just turn it on end? With the VIR and compressor removed can I just blow compressed air through the remaining lines? If not, I go back to a friend at the local Chevrolet Dealership.

You'll have to check around at some of the welding shops in your area (if they have a good reputation) to see if they can do it for you. I have an old classmate that is very good at aluminum welding. He's done some custom work for me before on aluminum gas tanks. I also have a good freind that owns a Vette restoration business. He has alot of NOS stuff around there and I will check with him to see if he has that hose set for a 74 BB. Will let ya know if he does. Either way you are gonna have to remove the hose assembly. I would then also replace the o-rings at all four ends, and while the system was open, I would replace the dryer/accumulator and flush they entire system, compressor included. Then replace oil with new. Doing the compressor requires removing/draining it as well. A new dryer/accum should cost about 85$ or so. It's really worth doing everything the right way if you are gonna put that "liquid Gold" back in. I've heard of desperados paying up to $100 bucks a 12 oz can for it. If I had only known !! I would have stock piled it when I was paying $12 for a 30 pounder. Who'd have known! Blessings !

Anyhow, John H. suggested a potentiometer to really get an accurate idea about the size of the resistor one would need to solve the problem. I was too lazy to do this, and luckily, John Dillman found an article somewhere in an old "Restorer", I think it was, giving the correct resistor size. Anyhow, I have it at home, and can tell you the size resistor if you want to do what I did...wire it to the connector. Works great, but if you can just get a TU-5, that will be easier. steve meltzer ----------------------------------------- ____________________________________________________________________________________ ****CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE**** This e-mail is the property of The Methodist Hospital and/or its relevant affiliates and may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

To drain compressor, invert it on a small size coffe can so the oil that runs out collects there. You should measure how much comes out after it has drained for a few days (if you don't flush the system with solvent). Blowing out the system with air is not the way to clean er out. You should use a pressurized system designed for flushing out your a/c. You could have it done at a shop or can buy the kit for about $80 or so with enough solvent to do one system. If you don't flush it, then you run the risk of having some old particulate matter and old shabby oil mess things up for you. It's also easier to start with the system dry because you will be able to add the right amout of oil from the get go. When you put back together, make sure to have the right amout of oil in the system. Too much is as bad as too little. When you see all the things involved in really doing the job right, you can come to an understanding of why it costs what it does to have this work done in good shop. Later.

The dealership has a machine that'll run a solvent through your system and recover it. I guess you could do that yourself somehow, finishing up with compressed air. Don't flush the compressor. Just take it out of the car, and drain it every which way from Sunday. Don't flush the new or old dryer/accumulator. Most of the old oil will be in the compressor and the dryer/accumulator. But there will still be some around elsewhere. Most of the crud will be at the screen in front of the restrictor valve and in the old dryer/accumulator. So with the compressor and dryer/accumulator out of the system, you'll be flushing lines, the condenser, and the evaporator. You need to be able to get some solvent in there and a definitive way to get it out. The solvent needs to be something that dries without leaving a residue. Mineral spirits to start. Finish with lacquer thinner. You'll need to figure a way to get the solvent to run through whatever portion of the system you're flushing, and then a positive way to make sure it's all out. Or let Mr. Goodwrench and his purpose built machine do it. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

You're going to use R-12, right? You don't have to be all that fussy about removing all the old oil. The new oil will be the same as the old. You just need to clean to get the crud out, so it doesn't destroy your compressor. Flushing might be overkill. If you replace the dryer/accumulator and the restrictor valve and blow some compressed air in those portions of the system you've opened up, you've pretty well cleaned up the system. If you have access to a flushing machine, I'd use it. Can't be too clean. But if not, or it's a real hardship, you should be OK with the method above. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

What I've learned the hard way is that getting it right to where the windshield gasket doesn't leak and the reveal moulding clearances are up to standards is not something which many people can do, or that most regular glass shops are even willing to undertake. I've already tried it once myself and, if you use the proper type of non-hardening bedding compound, its a messy job. Seems like most glass shops these days want to use the modern sealants which, although they probably work great on modern cars, can really ruin your day when they get into the retaining clips and keep them from catching the lips on the reveal mouldings. I've already called OEM Glass in Bloomington, but, while they are still selling dated Corvette glass, are unfortunately not doing installations any longer. If anyone knows of a place that appreciates the NCRS standards and can do an installation which meets them, then please let me know. I'm already planning a cross-country trip this summer after Carlise anyway, so where they are doesn't matter--I'll go to anywhere and make it a part of my trip if it means getting it done right.

As usual, I always benefit from leveraging the knowledge of Corvette owners and enthusiasts on this list. It's amazing how we can all share information within our individual areas of expertise. Together, I don't think there is any other resource with the knowledge base we have here. Yes, I am using R12. Is the Restricter Valve part of the VIR Assembly? Regarding flushing, I agree, with the VIR and compressor removed, compressed air is only clearing hoses/lines, condenser, and evaporator. I am going to clean this way and ask Mr. Goodwrench to do the flush when all the leaks are finally fixed. They will charge the system also.

Contact person is Dale. I don't have their number right now but I had him replace my windshield in my 66 Coupe and he did a great job. I drove over one night and met him at his shop about 10pm. He transported my wife and I to a local hotel and when it was done the next day around noon, he came to the hotel and picked us up. He has allot of experience at this and I was satisfied with his work. I'm sure you will be able to get his phone number through information. Usual disclaimer, I'm not connected in any way to the business, just a satisfied customer.

What gave loose? How do I go about fixing this problem? My guys don't have the experience or the special tools to do the job, so I will have to bring it to another shop.

You don't need any special tools to repair this. The main problem with this is that the bolts can wear the lip that holds the seal. When the yoke is removed make sure you still have the 1/8" step where the side seal is inserted. Compare it to the other side if you need to see what I'm talking about. The main goal is to remove the rear end cover to make the repair. It is not a hard job and I'm sure you're local shop could do this. Once the cover is off and you look inside you will see that the yoke is held in by a snap ring. (Even *Bubba has snap ring pliers). More than likely this snap ring is gone from the end of the yoke due to the groove it rides in being worn off. You will probably need a good yoke too! The snap ring keeps the yoke from coming out of the rear end and the differential center pin keeps if from going in to far. But seems strange that this would be on the LH side. Most of the time we see this it is on the RH or main drive side of the rear end. It would be real smart of you to remove the rear end so that you can inspect the center pin, the other side yoke ect. If the end of the yoke is gone, then there will probably be some shavings in the oil too! While this is being done to the rear end it would be a real smart move to replace the side yoke seals and even the pinion seal if the rear end is removed. The labor to do this job is 4 hours in a and out, new yoke and seals installed! So use this to base what the shop is going to charge you. But, all the local shop needs to do is get the cover off. I'm sure they have the tools to do this job! *A reference to Bubba was included in this reply. It was in no way an attempt to demoralize a poor dog with regard to the intellectual brain level comparison between Bubba the local shade tree mechanic and Bubba the Doc's Dog. Any implied comparison is strictly coincidental. ----------------------------------------------------- For subscriber information, see http://www.corvette-resto.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/crpl Send other comments or questions about this list to John C.

I've consulted the ST-12, but don't seem to be getting the results I want. The clutch pedal on my 62 does not return to the "stop" bumper under the dash, but hangs about 3/4 inch below. The chirping noise I was previously chasing seems to be related to this adjustment, in that if the pedal is "pulled up" to the stop or the clutch is depressed the noise stops. This seems to indicate that the throwout bearing isn't retracted all the way when the pedal is released(up). The ST-12 describes two adjustments. One is the length of the rod between the belcrank("z- bar" in common reference)and the clutch throwout fork. That one isn't too hard to figure out and follow but hasn't solved the problem. The second adjustment relates to the tension on the over center spring which should be able to be adjusted by moving the bellcrank arm extension bracket that the spring links to through an arc to increase the tension on the spring by effectively lengthening the arm and stretching the spring. I've been unable to move the adjustment bracket after loosening the two screws. Is there a "trick" to this adjustment that I am missing?? I've taken all the slop out of the linkage by renewing the bushing and bolt that connects the clutch rod to the bellcrank and adjusted the rod...so the only other adjustment I can make is the over-center spring tension. Did I miss something??? As always any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

The noise lasts for a few blocks. Wheel bearings, differential, drive train, no clue as to where the noise is coming from. I can't even notice if the noise is coming from one side vs. the other. When I turn the opposite direction or drive in a straight line, no noise. If I drive super slow around the turn, I don't hear anything. The transmission is automatic. When I bought the car, I had the noise and the company I bought it from brought in a Chevy factory person. He said that it comes from the differential and added Limited Slip Axle lub. I don't think the noise went away - been a couple of years. I would appreciate ideas about where to look and how to isolate. Should I add more Limited Slip Axle lub periodically?

But I'm not familar with this system, so I'm not sure. Is the VIR immediately upstream of the evaporator? If so, then yes, it is part of the VIR. With the VIR, compressor, and dryer/accumulator out, running compressed air through the hoses/lines, condensor, and evaporator, will get your system pretty clean and oil free. It'll be perfect if you have Mr. Goodwrench flush after that. Add the correct amount of oil, pull a good long vacuum, and you're ready to charge. You realize that you've done and spent 90% of the work and cost if you wanted to convert to R-134a now. You could sell those 4 cans of R-12 and put some kid through a year of college.

But, the big question: how long will you have to practice before you feel competent enough to tackle this job? Since you will want it to look like the original, it is something that requires a certain amount of experience and skill. Since you have never welded and may never need a welder again, I would find someone in your area who will do it for you. I am like you in that I will buy the tool if I think I will use it again. It sounds like from your post that you may never use this welder again. And it takes practice to make good, clean welds. Something to think about as you make your decision. BTW - If I owned a '62, I would only attempt this if I were a welder by trade. My .02 cents as someone has mentioned before.

When I went to reinstall the grill, I noticed 3 or 4 screws had stripped out, and no longer held the grill tightly to the car. I couldn't set the grill gap between the wiper door and the hood, because the screws wouldn't hold it in position. I bought some brass inserts and some SS screws and developed my own repair for this delimma. I drilled out the stripped holes, pressed in the brass inserts, and reinstalled the grill with the new screws, and it worked like a charm! I have a few of these parts left over. If anyone else with a 68-72 Vette has the same problem, email me off the board.

A nice little Wire feed welder will be about $200, another $150 for an auto-dimming helmet (a real necessity, especially for a beginner), gloves, wire, etc and you can get $500 invested real fast. A good welder would only charge $35-$50 dollars for this repair in my part of the country, so do the math. Don't get me wrong, I am a tool hound myself and own a couple of welders, but I have taken classes at the local community college and use my welders a pretty fair amount. For me it is great to have a welder at my disposal when I need it, and not have to run into town to get something welded. It is really a pain when you have to load a chassis up on a trailer and haul it somewhere to get welding done. As far as clean welds, just look at the quality of the welds on your C1. I am firmly convinced that the welders stayed drunk a good portion of the time! The real hard part is making the new welds look as rough as the originals!

But you didn't ask that question." Interesting proposition. I have 3 kids in college right now... Penn State, Michigan State, and Northwood University. Look-out E-Bay! Seriously, I'm sticking with R12 for now. I'm planning on NCRS judging in the near future. Thanks to everyone for all of your help. I'm going to replace the VIR this weekend and remove the hose/manifold assembly. John Hinckley gave me a tip on a local radiator and HVAC repair facility here in suburban Detroit. I stopped by to see them and they can test the hose and repair as required. If this doesn't work, my last choice is a shopping trip to Carlisle. I was hoping to avoid this. Thanks again.

I have a couple questions. I have a good mechanic who works with me and thinks I can do it myself. When you turn the wheel you can feel the power steering kicking in about a second late - kind of dangerous. Plus it leaks fluid like a sieve and the valve and cylinder are covered. The mechanic checked and said they both have to go. I'm inclined to let the factory do the rebuilding of components. He said it should be pretty much remove and replace with no surprises which I can do. I've got a service manual. I'd like to double check some of his answers: Any surprises with routine replacement? Do I need to bleed when it's done? Do I need to align when done? Is Mid America's $99.99 each for rebuilds a decent price. Are they good about the core charge refunds? Will I be able to drive 40 miles to and alignment shop before alignment. Should I routinely replace hoses that appear to be in good shape? I'm figuring on getting the cylinder bushing kit. Is there any adjusting when I'm done other than the above. Where'd my damn computer mouse pointer go? (That I'll figure out) Anything else I should know? General question - I've heard that the power steering quits the car reverts to difficult manual steering - generally not too dangerous. Is that correct?

I did replace EVERYTHING...hoses etc. Everything sounds like the mess I fixed up so why do it half way? No you don't have to do much of anything after replacement. The steering wheel position will change if you do not get the valve back on in the same place...just count the turns. I followed the proceedure in the Chev manual about bleeding on start up...very simple. The toughest part is going to be dealing with the leaky mess and dirt that has stuck to all the pieces. Cores are no problem, let the experts rebuild the parts and just bolt them on. It took me about a good afternoon to do it, no bubba work here.

Here are a few comments: - - This is a perfect time to replace all 4 power steering hoses, unless they were done very recently. Make certain to use a flare wrench on the threaded fittings, and that the valve to cylinder hoses are connected to their proper locations! After installation, with the car on jackstands, check hose clearance at full steering lock (left & right) positions. You may need to slightly "tweak" the original bends in the valve/cylinder hose connections. - - Yes, you will need to bleed the system after installation, and bleeding procedures should arrive with the rebuild kit....if not, check the archives or contact me offline. - - Do not overfill with oil...the level in many pumps is to be checked when "hot". - - Make certain your valve provider "centers" the rebuilt valve. Verify this setting while the car is still on jackstands, after completing the bleeding procedure. Valve centering procedures should be in the archive, should you need to fine-tune it. - - The toughest part of this job usually involves the separation of the valve stud from the pitman arm. Soak with a good penetrating oil for a day or two in advance, and use a properly sized pickle fork & big hammer to separate (unless you have air tools...) Leave the nut just slightly screwed onto the stud, so the assembly doesn't drop when the valve stud pops loose from the pitman arm. Use anti-seize on the valve (threaded connection) & stud to make it easier to disassemble in the future. - - This repair should not require an alignment. - - Check valve/cylinder warranty provisions offered by the various vendors....I've never had to utilize this feature, but there was a significant variance the last time I checked. - - Safety Issues: Make certain the car is firmly positioned on jackstands, and utilize a floor jack or other method as a backup. Make certain your hands/fingers/arms etc. are not positioned thru the spokes of the steering wheel upon initial start-up (if the valve isn't centered properly, the steering wheel could spin violently, and you could end up with a broken finger.) I'm sure others will jump in with additional info. Feel free to contact me with questions. Good luck!

What bad things may take place with camber at 0 degrees (vs. spec of 1/2 degree, inward at the top)?

He had no luck with rebuilds. I looked at prices for both and I think they are only $30-$40 difference. When you think about the time it takes to replace the valve, this seems okay to me to pay the higher price for a new valve. I have yet to do the work on mine, but when I do, I will buy new. Can't answer any of your other questions - including your missing mouse. BUT - from experience, if the P/S goes, the car still turns, but it is difficult like you said. Good luck.

Wissmiller Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 6:45 AM To: crpl@redacted.email Subject: '76 power steering valve and control cylinder The Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) ----------------------------------------------------- I'm about to tackle replacing the steering valve and control cylinder on my '76. I have a couple questions. I have a good mechanic who works with me and thinks I can do it myself. When you turn the wheel you can feel the power steering kicking in about a second late - kind of dangerous. Plus it leaks fluid like a sieve and the valve and cylinder are covered. The mechanic checked and said they both have to go. I'm inclined to let the factory do the rebuilding of components. He said it should be pretty much remove and replace with no surprises which I can do. I've got a service manual. I'd like to double check some of his answers: Any surprises with routine replacement? Do I need to bleed when it's done? Do I need to align when done? Is Mid America's $99.99 each for rebuilds a decent price. Are they good about the core charge refunds? Will I be able to drive 40 miles to and alignment shop before alignment. Should I routinely replace hoses that appear to be in good shape? I'm figuring on getting the cylinder bushing kit. Is there any adjusting when I'm done other than the above. Where'd my damn computer mouse pointer go? (That I'll figure out) Anything else I should know? General question - I've heard that the power steering quits the car reverts to difficult manual steering - generally not too dangerous. Is that correct? Any help you cold give me would be appreciated!

I would adjust the brakes until you get a nice consistent drag on the shoes on all four corners, and then readjust them in a few miles. The trunk lock does go in teeth down, and is real easy to flip. I would not be concerned about not being able to get to the spec on the camber, of all the adjustments, this is the least critical to a good handling car. I would not mess with the shims, as you will be affecting the ability of the knuckle to sit squarely on the spindle support. The top compartment felt starts at bottom of the little offset right behind the mounting screws at the front edge and covers the entire flat of the cover and goes down the rear slope. The felt is centered on the cover.

The Corvette and the passenger car used the same casting for the spindle, they were not cut the same. GM p/n 3737594 Knuckle fit from 53-62 Corvette, it's casting number was 3693446 and it had a daub of yellow paint on the cast section of the part. GM p/n 3696323 Knuckle fit 49-54 Passenger car and the casting number was 3693446 too! When held side by side the difference is in the angle that the spindle was cut on the raw part after it was cast. I don't know the adverse effects of the camber setting that you have but maybe someone else will help here! I know that over the years I have had several customers that have used the passenger car knuckle and not had problems.

Recently, whenever I shut it off and let it sit for 10 - 20 minutes, I cannot get it restarted without a quick shot of ether. I have tried: - locking the choke open - trying to start without touching the pedal - trying to start by slightly depressing the pedal (the way it I always started it in the past) - trying to start by flooring the pedal - looking down the throat of the secondaries and primary carburetor and there are no drips - the accelerator pump seem to work fine - replaced the power valve If I let it sit overnight, it won't start so it doesn't seem to be heat related. I pulled the plugs. Other than being a little darker brown than usual, they seemed fine. Once it starts, it runs fine although the pipes look like it might be running rich. It is a TI car so I wondered about ignition but with the shot of ether, it starts right up. Everything was new last year and it ran just fine. This started a month ago after several weeks of problem free use. I do get an occasional backfire through the carburetor, that's why I replace the power valve. Any ideas? It finally stopped raining around here and I can't take it anywhere if I need to shut it off (a fairly regular occurrence with a big block). Any help would be appreciated.

You indicated no drips but when are you not seeing no drips? See if fuel squirts down the throat of the carb. It sounds to me as if the carb is bleeding off the fuel when it's shut off. When you shut it off with the air cleaner off the car do you see vapor's coming off the carb? If putting ether in it makes it start, that kind of eliminates fire.

After a hot soak, the engine would not start, or it would start just as I released the key. This reminded me of a car with a bad ballast resistor, which TI cars DO NOT have. Mine turned out to be a bad pickup coil in the distributor--I replaced it (they were still available then at a "decent" price), and I never had a problem again. However Steve, yours could be either--fuel or spark--with the Ether making it start. If you get a "healthy" squirt when you open the throttle, that eliminates the accelerator pump in the center carb. It sounds like your engine is "starving" for fuel, and if you're getting a "good" squirt, I would say that it sounds like you got a bad load of gas. However, check for spark when it won't start--the problem could still be in the ignition system. It is very possible that you have a "very weak" spark that won't ignite the gas, but will ignite the Ether due to its higher volatility. You will need 2 people to do that--one to crank it, and the other to look for a good healthy spark. Just pull the most accessible plug wire, stick a screwdriver into the plug boot, and hold the screwdriver shaft next to the exhaust manifold--you should be able to see at least a good 1/4" spark. If you do get that, but still no start, I would get rid of the load of gas in your tank. Luckily, siphoning gas from a midyear is easy.

I swapped coils and didn't make a difference. I pulled a plug and grounded the plug connected to the wire to the steering box, had a friend crank the engine and I do get a small blue spark but it wasn't as pronounced as I expected. So, I pulled a plug from another big block sitting next to it without TI and repeated the same test, even using the same spark plug. The spark was noticeably bigger and yellow. I have one of the upgraded replacement amplifier boards. I always assumed that they would either work or just not work at all. Can they "fade away"? Is this more indicative or a pickup or the amplifier itself? The weather is finally top down and I can't go anywhere, it is killing me... Thanks.

After a hot soak, the engine would not start, or it would start just as I released the key. This reminded me of a car with a bad ballast resistor, which TI cars DO NOT have. Mine turned out to be a bad pickup coil in the distributor--I replaced it (they were still available then at a "decent" price), and I never had a problem again. However Steve, yours could be either--fuel or spark--with the Ether making it start. If you get a "healthy" squirt when you open the throttle, that eliminates the accelerator pump in the center carb. It sounds like your engine is "starving" for fuel, and if you're getting a "good" squirt, I would say that it sounds like you got a bad load of gas. However, check for spark when it won't start--the problem could still be in the ignition system. It is very possible that you have a "very weak" spark that won't ignite the gas, but will ignite the Ether due to its higher volatility. You will need 2 people to do that--one to crank it, and the other to look for a good healthy spark. Just pull the most accessible plug wire, stick a screwdriver into the plug boot, and hold the screwdriver shaft next to the exhaust manifold--you should be able to see at least a good 1/4" spark. If you do get that, but still no start, I would get rid of the load of gas in your tank. Luckily, siphoning gas from a midyear is easy.

I have been using Caswell's plating setup for almost 5 years and I get really good results. The learning curve is steep, but after you learn the system it can produce parts that you can get any look you wish from dull Cad to bright zinc di-chromate. The advantage of being able to do a couple of parts whenever I wanted made me stick with the system until I learned it well. I now have increased my capacity to 15 gallons so that I can do those large parts like seat tracks that I have been forced to send out in the past.

As long as you have one of those new amplifier boards, give it a try--it's easier than replacing the pickup coil. Unfortunately, if that doesn't do the trick, your next step is to replace the pickup coil. Speaking of assuming, I assume that you have looked at both the distributor cap & rotor--a totally worn out or broken button in the cap or a broken rotor might give the same symptoms. Speaking of top down weather & can't go anywhere---I have the same problem--I'm having a retaining wall and new deck built on my home, and guess where all the wood & cement blocks are piled up.

The same fasteners are used on the heater/defroster/clock bezel. The trunk irons on my '58 (ebay specials) have two broken studs, I carefully drilled and tapped them to accept a 10-24 screw, the rest have the pal nuts (which are available from most of the Corvette houses). Hope this helps. Best Regards from Connecticut, Mark S.

The only thing the ST-12 does not tell you is that it takes 4 hands to get the seals up on the ends of the bushing so you can install the arm. It can however be done if you have a very understanding wife.

Some people, including myself, use screws, but when it was suggested to me that roll-pin would be a better way to go, it seemed to me to make pretty good sense.
