cleaned a hundred of them. i have used throttle body cleaner(not as harsh as carb clean) and i have used the special MAF cleaner....never cleaned one and actually fixed it...customers usually opt to try cleaning first before spending the bucks to buy a new one. could work someday.

just been doing alot of u-joints lately actually. best method i found was to use a vise to grab the cap after you push it so far out. the caps are hardened..... i haven't re-used any of the joints i've taken apart but i can't recall marking the cap up with the vise.

wow i just read through your 11 page thread on your suspension. nice work. that was exactly what i thought about doing as far as the rod ends go for an upper control arm. and my boss looked at your pictures of your slip shafts. we think our driveline shop could build me a set of those and they...

well not interested in putting the same style axles back on the car. but they actually sell those half shafts?? i mean they were not custom made? i was going to see if my driveline shop could work me up a set of cv axles for it. i still may try going that route just because cv axles are current...

actually no out of everything i wanted to do to the car i had not even considered that. and on another note i'm trying to buy a house and i got a kid on the way. really didn't feel like anything breaking on the vette right now. and thats funny about your 4 wheel drive. i had a blazer and tried...

ok i have been fighting a transmission leak in my vette for a little while now fixed a few things and found more things leaking. i pull it on the rack today and replace the o-ring on the vacuum modulator and put a little bit of rtv around it no big deal. issue is the trans usually leaks a lot...

Hi all. new to the forums . i have a 76 corvette in near perfect condition but in need of a little bit more performance. engine has been half built ( top end only) 350 tranny with full manual shift kit and hooker side pipes. I really like the car and joined up here to see what kind of mods you...
