Found out that a number of them among which DrRebuild won't ship to Europe. So, I guess I'm left with Corvette Cental or Ecklers. Don't know which one is worse.

Yeah, DrRebuild or Bair's but Bair's is not shipping to Europe apparently. What a shame it all is.

Hi, Long time since I've been here. Long story, that I will spare you. I need parts and went to my old source Paragon Corvette. Seems they were sold Corvette Central. Who is the now go to source for quality parts (close to original)? Thanks

Hi, Strange question but I need to put an original engine back in my car for the tech inspection. This requires me to have an EGR valve on the engine. I have an alu manifold with casting number 14014432 on the engine. I purchased an EGR valve but the bolt holes don't line up. Also the...

Ok, another question though. Assuming I would want to take the engine out for a hone and rering job. Is it doable to get the engine out in one piece in our cars. I know how limited space is uin front of the engine.

Quid question as I never had to do this before on a C3, but how difficult is it to pull the heads of an engine while still in the car. I have a bit my concerns around the bolts on the driver side and especially right below the brake booster. Thanks.

So you're saying the market for repo parts for the C3 has gotten a lot smaller due to cars already having undergone a restoration and there is not enough money to be made...?

Well, for example I used to have catalogs of Eckler's, Zip etc. and it was pretty complete with tech drawings etc. Now it seems half is not there anymore...

Guy, For tech inspection I need to put my original engine back together and bring it back to original specs. I was looking over the inventory on several parts houses, but it seems that since I last had to get parts from them their inventory for C3 parts has gotten a lot smaller. Am I wrong?

Opinions may vary but I hate driving cell phones.

Sorry for not coming back to this. Have been busy. Well in short yes, but it would have to be fully original. Which really sucks. I have taken the case to a supreme court that deals with government decisions. I hope this will bring something. Otherwise I will probably sell her and quit my +30...

Since 2018 they have progressively required oldtimers to go to tech inspection. My car was up for the inspection this year. They refused the cars on the grounds that it is not original anymore (not according to its certificate of conformity) as it has a fuel injection system on it. By now about...

Thanks.

Hi guys, Long time since I've been there. Have a question: what size is the original airfilter for a 1979 vette?

I've been wondering about his Corvette too. Seeing what I see happening in Belgium with regulations, oldtimers, low emissions zones etc I can imagine he would have issues getting his car on the road in the Netherlands. Things are really bad for a car nut around here in Europe.

Just to update you guys : I've ordered an adjustable throwout bearing from Novak (https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/clutches-etc/) and did the math to see how long I needed to make the bearing. It still required several tries and taking the trans out in order to get close to a working...

That's really interesting. My car originally was an automatic, but they changed it to manual. Maybe I have a different Z-bar. hm edit : I checked some more and it seems that all bb and sb cars after 66 have the same Z-bar with a center to center length on the link of 4 1/4" which is what I have...

Can someone measure the arms on their Z-bar please ? Thanks

Ok, I disconnected the rod that went to the fork still leaving the pedal rod in the current adjustment. I then pushed the TO bearing to touch the fingers and scribed a mark on the fork and bellhousing. I then reconnected and voila the TO bearing is clearly in contact with the fingers all the...

Are you sure about those sizes ? I think mine is 1.220 " in height...
