Welcome to the CAC.

What is your intended usage? Just driving or racing?

Tom

Welcome to the CAC. Looks like a couple of fun cars.

I did the '81 two years ago and no amount of pedal pumping would get all the air out. I finally gave up and bought a pressure bleeder. Should have bought one years ago. It was so quick and easy.

When it won't start is there raw fuel running down inside the carbs? Is the fuel filter bowl full? Is the choke opening fully? How long do you run it after it initially starts ok before you shut it...

Not sure what you mean. Did you change steering columns on your '59?

I should get one of those. Probably the closest I'll ever get to owning one.

Well I took the total number of 1976 Corvettes built and subtracted the numbers of cars built in known 1976 production colors (including the 1 code 39 Dark Green that some books don't show) and ended...

If your seals are not letting grease out then they won't let water in. The outer seal is shielded by the rotor and the inner seal is shielded by the control arm so there is no way to apply a high...

I'm sure there is someone out there that needs your part. It may take some time though.

Welcome to the CAC. Nice pair of Corvettes.

Welcome to the CAC.

Welcome Ralph.

It isn't often that I run into somebody that has had their solid axle longer than I.

I've seen a lot worse. I wonder if it would be possible to bond a strip of fiberglass sheet about 1/4 in thick to the back of that area holding it straight.

Tom

I'm going to move this thread to the C6 Forum. It will get more attention there.

I can't help you with the paddle shift but ACI makes some nice spoilers and other parts for the C6. We toured the facility during a past CAC Cruisefest and it is a quality operation.

The 3735236 crank was a forged 3.00 inch stroke crank used in 283 engines. I don't think you see any cast 283 cranks until up in the mid '60s. This casting number was used under part number 3760042...

I usually have a few jumper wires I have made up with wire and some alligator clips that you can get at any auto parts store. You will be surprised how often you use them once you have them. Hook one...

Welcome to the CAC. Glad you are having a lot of fun with your Corvette.

Tom

Welcome to the CAC. That's going to be a fun project. I'd give that polish a try and see how it comes out. Sometimes it's necessary to do a light color sanding first but it all depends on the...

Welcome to the CAC. I'm also in my 70s and have had my '59 since '69. Others have came and went but the '59 is family. It may even see the road again someday. Congrats on the Z06. I hope you and your...

This is good stuff. I have one of these to do someday. I replaced my original way back when good used ones were still available. $35.00 well spent. The original is stored in the basement.

Get it on a lift. Start the engine and check for exhaust leaks. This also gives you a chance to check the under side of the body panels for damage repair, check the brakes for leaks (right side...

I don't have those tools but have you checked with Auto Zone or O'Reilies? I know that they have loanout tools for many operations. A valve spring compressor is common enough that I would think they...

That color is Code 28 Frost Blue Or Light Blue depending where you look. I've seen it called both names in the same publication. There was only one locally back when they were almost new but 3203...
