Re: Looking for a stinger hood for a 74 (Alwyn678)

Re: Do All Women "SLAM" Corvette Doors When Getting IN or OUT????? (Paul Borowski)

Re: Control Arm Bushings (Ybnormal)

It may sound crude, but if you are careful and think about how your arms are supported, my Dad just uses a hammer and chisel. This way you can monitor whether the bushing shells are moving or not. ...

Re: I CANT KEEP IT RUNNING!!!! ARRRGHHHHH! (mrvette)

I'd confirm the fuel pump is working. You could be using the gas built up in the fuel bowl at idle. Choke the carb would be drawing as much fuel to the engine as possible.

Re: For Sale: 1975 Coupe L48 Automatic (Triple White 92)

Mike,
$11K seems awfully high for a 75. I don't decide what is popular with the public, but 75 & 76 seem to be the least desirable of the C3's. For 11K, you can buy an early C3 in central PA with...

Re: c3 in snow (68shark)

Re: Is 4.11 gears a good match to700R4? (gkull)
