Rear end ratios
OK.....I think I must be getting senile, or just slow. Anyway, I wanted to check the rear ratio on the roadster. Jacked it up, put trans in neurtal, marked the tire, had my bride rotate the tire while I counted the turns on the driveshaft which I also

Ideas on seat belt lengths
I'm getting ready to order the lap belts for the 32. Not sure which lenght to use--60" or 75" belts. We're going with lift latch belts, non retractable. Any input is greatly appreciated.

3 point belts
Has anyone out there installed Juliano's (or other) 3 point belts in a roadster? I need to put belts into my new ride and want to use 3 point if possible.

Help identifying a SBC

Carb Question
Finally got the 37 running this past weekend. Good to hear that LT1 fired up again. On another topic, however, can anyone tell me how to ID a Holley carb. I think the one on the vette is way oversized, but I'd like to figure out what I have before I lo

Power Window Question
A question for the electrical guru's out there. The driver's side power window on my 74 Corvette is stuck in the down position. The window worked fine on Saturday when I went out cruising. I parked the car in the garage with the window in the down posi

Daddy, It followed me home. Can I keep it?
Not being able to work on the 37 has forced me to go to something else for cruising. Drove this home from Quakertown on Saturday. Never owned a vette, always wanted one.....now I have one. I'm sure I'll be asking a ton of questions. Not a street rod b

2nd LT1 question
Have to run the steam line from the back of the heads. Rather than run the line to the top of the radiator tank and having a new fitting installed into the tank, would it work if we run the steam line to the overflow tank feed line? What about

Someone to look @ a car
Anyone in the Charleston, SC area willing to take a look at a car for me? Just want to make sure it's not a rolling rust bucket, screwed up frame, etc. Thanks

Fuel Line Question
What are your thoughts on running flexible fuel line from tank to filter to injectors? I have to re-route the fuel lines on the 37 to get them away from the exhaust. Currently 3/8" aluminum tubing. There are also two kinks in the line

4L60E Question
Hope to get a little direction here. Been pretty slow on the 37 due to health problems but still doing what I can. Have the LT1 all running right and got it all buttoned back up, and took it out for a short (about 5 mile) test run last night.&

Macungie
I know carpro is going to Macungie this weekend. Anyone else out there going to attend. Not sure if the 37 will be there or not, but I'll be there if only as a spectator. We should all try to meet up if possible.

New Wheel Care
Any thoughts on what to use on new aluminum wheels. They have an excellent finish and shine extremely well. I don't want to use the Zoops coating since it slightly reduces the shine. Was thinking of waxing them to seal the aluminum
