Before you throw a bunch of money at it, hoping it will cure your problem, get a Motors manual or some thing with instructions on how to trouble...
I can't tell you which sending unit you need but it must match the gauge. Once you have the correct sending unit for the gauge just use a runtz to...
Rislone works well for stuck rings. We had a Pontiac with gummed up lifters and rings that would hardly run after sitting for over a year....
If I had a problem with a new VR I just took it back. I've never adjusted a "new" VR they were calibrated on a machine, adjusted and the...
K&N HP air cleaners show up all the time in flea markets
Very cool air cleaners. I think they were made to fit the 57 270 HP Corvette engine. I buy used reusable air cleaners just for the filter...
no matter how much it costs, none of them have a little voice to remind you to put a fitting on before flaring. been making lines for over 30...
Bruce I like your new avatar.
For 200 bucks it should make the flare for you by remote control.:D I've built several cars with the good old red plastic box double flaring tool...
The biggest negative affect would be the cost of having new axles made to fit the narrowed housing. You can't re-spline an axle shaft 1" so you...

Welcome there are a few Vietnam vets here.
Fronts are the same but rears are completely different. Technically 32 truck rear fenders are different from 33-34 truck rear fenders. Real steel...

40s HL rings worked on mine. The first year for sealed beam HL was 1940. Some have a tab that fits into a slot in the bucket with a screw in the...
Lets not bad mouth the 63 2 topper now. My first Corvette.
I can't get over the thinking around here. Why is everybody so scared of a generator? It's not like electronic ign. you can still get home if it...
