Re: Wanted Special C3 Corvettes for Petersen Automotive Museum Corvette Day (cmuhlstein)

You don't mention the date or dates that are in question here. I have an example of a '75 that you may or may not be interested in.

Re: Anybody familar with Speed-O-Motive Engines & Quality of Work (toy350)

I live ten minutes from them. They have a GREAT reputation around here. As with any company, there are bad experiences. But, they will do everything possible to make it right.

Re: A.I.R. Connections w/headers (SanDiegoPaul)

What year is it? On my '75, the AIR only goes to the passenger side below the EFE as you have indicated. Later years went to both sides.

Re: My wife asked a question I couldn't answer....little help!! (MNJack)

Nope. Coolant expands when heated. Unless the coolant is boiling, there should be no steam. Plus, the cooling system is pressurized specifically to prevent boiling . . .

Re: My wife asked a question I couldn't answer....little help!! (7tea1)

As water heats, it expands. This expansion causes a pressure build up in the cooling system.

Re: $ to replace emissions stuff? (n8370c)

Don't bother going to dr. rebuild, etc. Keep your eye out on E-bay and go to the local pick a part or similar establishment.

Re: Running hot! Need help with diagnosis. (Scott78)

The 'chin' air dam is absolutely critical to high speed cooling. Also the radiator to support and support to hood seals. Without these, the car just does not direct enough air flow through the...

Re: Quick timing question. Need advice on settings with a moderate cam. (Steve Straus)

I have to agree with bumping the initial timing up to around 12-14 with the advance disconnected and plugged. Also, take some care in setting up the jetting on the carb. If you have not re-jetted,...

Re: I went to buy the ’80 Vette today and the SOB dealer sold it out from under me! (OHSIXX)

It's really too bad, but I have to agree . . . you probably should have driven down and given him a couple hundred $$ to make sure that he held it for you . . .

BTW, are you not interested in the...

Re: whats the best cam for 350? (Vetterodder)

You said you are using stock heads. Would that be the 882 castings with 76cc chambers? Those heads do not flow well at all. I doubt that you will be able to take full advantage of a cam like the...
