Go to the section in the policy that describes what they'll pay in the event of a total loss and post what it says; if there's a bunch of wordsmithing that talks about "replacement value", "actual...
Rebuilding the trailing arms (including bearings and front bushings) IS NOT a do-it-yourself job; it requires specialized measuring and expensive bearing setup tools and special tools for compression...
If your brake pedal is near the floor and you can't pull it up to where it used to be, the problem isn't in the master cylinder - it's in the rear half of the brake booster, or in the mechanical...
No paint - the 461 intake finish is natural unpainted aluminum.

No, it's not - "regular" insurers don't write "Agreed Value" policies - they write "Stated Value" policies, which don't protect you at all. Talk to Hagerty or Adam Boca at the National Corvette...
The hood release cable installation and routing should be shown in your Assembly Manual.

The Corvette windshield is installed with urethane sealant, just like every other new car on the planet. GM NEVER used any of the cheap butyl tapes, which are usually found used as short-cuts by...
If the wheel is installed/oriented correctly (drive pins on the adapter in the five small holes and lug nuts in the five larger clearance holes) and a film of anti-seize is used both on the spinner...
The upper is 120 ft-lbs., and the two lowers (attach the steering arm to the spindle) are 85 ft-lbs.

The slotted holes at the hinge-to-door attachments deal with fore-aft and up-down adjustment, and the shim packs between the hinge and the door hinge reinforcement deal with in-out adjustment. All...
461 castings were machined for both 1.94/1.5 and 2.02/1.6 valves - depended on the application; when machined for 2.02/1.6 valves, an unshrouding cut was also taken adjacent to the intake valve for...
Forget "Eddie". Another long-time respected Muncie/T-10 rebuilder is Ed Hartnett in Lansdowne, PA, (610) 623-9381, EH4speeds@aol.com.

If you mean machining for and installing hardened valve seats, don't waste your money and risk turning your heads into scrap iron when they cut into a water jacket. You don't need hardened seats...
Automatics don't use a flywheel - they use a stamped steel flexplate the converter bolts to; your flexplate is 12-3/4" in diameter and has 153 teeth.

You can't. You need to remove the cluster and disassemble it in order to clean the gauge lenses; they're all installed from the back side.

It's not a double-pumper; the original carb was a dual-feed vacuum-secondary LIST 4555 with center-hung float bowls and a single pump. :thumb
Tuck the "T"-shaped end of the flap into the hole between the shaft and the edge of the hole, and tuck it under the control arm so the top shock attachment shows inboard of the flap.

Yes, he did - it's his "Heritage Center" for the collection. Our NCRS National Convention was in Charlotte in 2010, and we were the first outsiders to be admitted inside to see the collection, which...
As noted in the Assembly Manual (UPC 12, sheet A2, lubrication item 7C adjacent to item #8, felt seal), go to the explanation for item 7C in the Lubrication section, UPC 0, sheet D3, where 7C says...
Reason #1 not to use an incandescent trouble light with a regular light bulb while working on your fuel system - use a fluorescent or LED light.

Installing the complete C4 package is a huge tear-up, involving LOTS of fabrication, surgery, and welding; don't even THINK about it.

Yes, it will - just substitute backing off the nut and going to zero lash, then go down another 1/2-turn instead of doing the feeler gauge thing you'd do with solid lifters. The process ensures that...
Brake boosters ALWAYS run on manifold vacuum - isn't there a vacuum fitting behind the carburetor on your intake manifold? If the un-tapped boss on the back of the carb is open to manifold vacuum,...
Do you have the Assembly Manual? It shows the wire routings/clippings in great detail in section 12.
