Debugging the 65, So I'm getting a frustrating clicking noise at the speedometer head or the top section of the cable. The speedometer needle is bouncing and vibrating mostly at lower speeds. Was a new cable at the rebuild. I've had the drive cable out twice, have cleaned and lubed it with white lithiu...

Did GM have multiple different governors for different vehicles and rear end ratios? Im thinking they would but Im not finding much about it on the net which seems a little Wierd?? Im thinking a Corvette governor MUST be different than one for an RV or truck? Just looking for insight from someone in the...

Every so often an oddball little part is still available from GM for our old cars. This is one of them. I ordered it last week because I didn't like a piece of straight bulk PCV hose, it takes too big an area to get from the carb to the PCV valve in the left valve cover. This hose, as you can see, has a nice molded...

In my 65, I have my old 67 327/275. the Qjet was pro rebuilt about 10 years ago. In shuttling the car around (not on the road yet), today, for the first time it started running poor. Started just fine, but ran like it was short a cylinder of two, which surprised me, as it always started right up, ran and idled...

Hi guys, The auxiliary wire from the positive side of my battery to the frame (headlight bucket area) either burned out or just deteriorated due to age and left me stranded for awhile last weekend.

Not sure what the exact name is but looking for a 283 canister drop down cone. It goes inside the oil filter canister and seals the bottom of the filter. Filter doesn't do a thing without it! -- Edited by hawkeye5766 on Tuesday 6th of April 2021 01:31:26 AM

Is there a way to drill a hole in a hardened steel shift lever? In the picture you can see the lever on the right has a second hole closer to the pivot point to allow for "short stroke" shifter operation. If I am right, a normal drill bit would maybe scratch the surface of the left lever if I try to drill a hole i...

A while back there was a thread here on 67 and older shifters which included an eBay source for replacement parts. My 1968 Acadian / Nova Muncie shifter was prone to binding & locking up. After stripping it down it appears the 3-4 lever is the problem. The eBay seller lists his parts as 64 - 81 Corvett...
