On the other Forum I been watching a debate about motor oils for Flat Tappet Cams.I am about to try the Brad Penn 10W - 30 oil. I have been using Castrol but it seems the Wal-Mart self oils are no longer suitable for the older cars. Specifications changed in 2005.Have you heard of this problem with ZDDP lev...

Fass23Could you post a picture of the horns on your 73?Mine just had one when I bought it and I can lay my hands on a set of GM horns. I am just not sure how to mount the second one or how it should look. -- Edited by zathrus on Wednesday 17th of February 2010 05:28:34 PM

Ok guys, A freind of my father has a 1973 Green Vette coupe auto. base 350 all stock. It looks good except for a crack in the front bumper. The crack is due to age. 2 questions. How much is this Vette worth? How much would it cost to repair a cracked front bumper?

Well the Mid-America owner Mike Yeagar wants to charge us Vette owners 25 dollars to park at his FunFest Corvette Show in Sept. By the time you add up the price of gas, a hotel room, and food plus an extra 25 bucks it gets way too expensive. Im staying home this year.

I took the Vette for a ride and at about 90 MPH I hit a dip that crossed the road at a angle and the car sat down on the passenger side header. Now one tube is flat for about 3”. WTF. Did not see it coming.I am thinking I might need to stiffen the suspension up so this type of thing can not happen. If I put on heav...

Is anyone running their throttle return spring from the front of the carburetor instead or the rear? I would like to move the throttle return spring from it stock location pulling from the rear to pulling from the front.

I installed duel Spals a couple of years ago on my 73 with a 400 CID that likes to make heat. I have found during the summers when driving down the road the coolant temperature is 185 F when I stop at a light or driving slow in traffic the coolant temperature raises to 200 to 210 F. I think this is due to angle of...

My 73 has not had cold A/C air for the past four years. The A/C system was overhauled in 1999, new everything when the car received an on frame restoration. For 73 the A/C system had the VIR instead of individual components. Also, for the 73 year GM did not put a high pressure port in the Corvette. During th...
