Hi again!
The summer is over here in Sweden and the temperatures are dropping...
It´s been a great summer, the weather has been fantastic and I have really enjoyed my Corvette:drink:
Since the Vette is almost done (seats will be fixed this winter together with a cardan shaft balancing and a fix...
Here's a short video from a summer nights cruising in my home town Hudiksvall, Sweden.
Lot's of nice cars in this cruise, around 1500!
It is a small town, only 15000 people live here.

I have had my eyes open for a machine that have been tickling my mind ever since I first started working on mechanical stuff.
So far I have been lucky enough to get hold of a lathe, a large drilling machine and a few machines for working on sheet metal but this specific piece of machinery has...
The 427 is running nice and strong, up until 5500rpm where it starts to misfire. Or maybe not misfire, it is more like it is running out of breath.
The Rochester carbuerator is functioning absolutely flawless below 5500rpm without any hesitation or tendencies to bog. It is totally renovated to...
Ok, have put around 500 miles on my 69 now and I have noticed that I get alot of road dust all over the engine bay:shocking:
Since I'm using twin Spals the original fan shroud is not used. This means that there is a big gap between the lower part of the radiator and front crossmember. This gap...
Facts: Original TI distributor. Prev. owner added ignitor system. Do not know why.
Dist in very good shape.
I set base timing at 13º. At 2800-3000 i have around 36º.
Vacuum shows additional 16º.
Basically a sound setting for my engine, perhaps some more initial but it is ok for now.

Hi,
Got my 427 -69 back on the wheels yesterday and drove my first 100 feet on the road. Had to stop and go back, it was too much dust on the road after the winter, and then I noticed that my brake pedal was a bit slow to return after beeing depressed. I could feel the hesitation of the brakes...
Hi,
Need some help to identify what the hose (with the red arrow) on the photo is used for???
I did not take any notes during tear down, of this exact hose so, what can it be. Have no idea where it was routed on the inside...
Have not found it in the AIM so far.
The car is a 69 427.

I need some help with the position of the wiper door vacuum relay on my early build 69. I suspect the previous owner did not put it in the right place.
I don´t need NCRS standards but, I would expect that the engineers at GM back in 68/69 put at least some thought where to place it most...
Hi,
Currently I´m looking into renewing the complete wiring on my 69 427.
I´ve considered repairing the old wiring but I think it is beyond reparable condition. It feels more like piano wire than electrical cables...
So, does anyone have experience with the wire sets sold by Corvette Central...
Hi,
Thought I would share some of my work on my Corvette that I have now owned for 3 years.
I hope my English will be possible to understand but if something seems unclear or strange, don´t hesitate to correct me!
I have always dreamed of owning a Corvette C3 but it was only after selling my...
I´m in the process of a complete body off restoration and right now I have the steering column completely disassembled, well, almost that is...
So I´m in need of some assistance.
I can not remove the Gearshift Lever Housing from the Shift Tube. Are these parts assembled using press fit or are...
Hi all,

I own a 69 427 Corvette in nice shape. The car is numbers matching except from the tranny which a previous owner replaced with a TH350... Originally it had a 4 speed.
I hope I will be able to contribute with som photos from...
