    Power steering return line fitting

    Alright guys, I need a little help. I'm trying to sort my power steering lines and I'm running into a problem which I can't seem to find an answer. I have the pressure side pretty much sorted. The return from the valve to the pump, though, has me a bit stumped. My stock return line just makes it...

    god damn Ujoints

    :cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing: I'm at the end of my rope. I'm hoping you all can give me a tip or two on U-joints, specifically with the half shaft flanges. I cannot seem to get the U-joint 'inside' the flange enough to get the clip in on both sides. I've tried cleaning and smoothing the...

    Some stuff I forgot I had

    So as I've written lately, I had a flood in my shed, which caused me to go through my parts storage system (read "pile"). Here are a few parts I'd like to sell because I just don't have a use. Keep in mind, these WERE under water during my flood! First up, stock '75 4 speed shifter: The only...

    Temporary rolling the car, 1/2 shafts needed?

    As related to my flooded thread, I'm looking to get my vette off a roll-on lift and into the garage before winter hits. However, I just discovered a new issue. I had Gary go through my rear end last winter. I'm now a proud owner of a super 10 bolt :D But, this means the current U joints at the...

    Flood damage to some parts

    How's everyone doing? I haven't been around much since I haven't touched the vette in over a year. Not by choice, life always finds a way to get in the way. A lot has happened, but I digress... I was somewhat fortunate with this Hurricane Sandy. How have you all made out? :rain: I was about...

    Condition of my wiring

    Yet another wiring question, bare with me... As I was checking out how to wire up my start and alt, I took a good look at my wiring and I'm not sure it's in the best shape. The insulation is still flexible and isn't cracking. However, I have some things I'm not sure are repairable. First up...

    Simple wiring question

    Hey guys. After a long hiatus due to personal conflicts (good and bad), I'm finally back working on my vette after almost a year. I'm making progress on the LS1/T56 swap, but one of the biggest issues I have currently is wiring. Very much the elephant in the room for me. One of my hold ups, and...

    When work is slow...

    ...you find some interesting "gems" on the internet. There's a site I check out once in a while called "That Will Buff Out". It's all about automotive miss-steps and oddities. Well, I came across this little wonder today...

    driveline angles

    Hey guys I need some help quick. I'm in the middle of modding my trans cross member and I'm now stuck on driveline angles. For reference, I have the Inland Empire Driveline: Power Train Set Up pdf downloaded that Garys 68 gave me for reference. Here are my issues/questions: I'm having a hard...

    Looking for a '70-'74 gas tank in good shape. It has to have at least one connection for vent or evap canister. I'll take just a filler neck as well. Thanks!

    Dinner plate turbo feeding an AWD C3

    Braided Fuel Line recommendation?

    So I'm looking into fuel line for the LS1. I don't plan on using my hardlines due to age and location and I would like to run -6 braided from the tank to the rail. I've read here and elsewhere (as well as seen) that braided and regular low pressure fuel hose cannot handle today's fuel with...

    newer Auto Meter gauges

    Hey guys, I've been chugging along on my swap slowly but surely :smash: The theme of the winter/spring was wiring, and lately I've been working on wiring up my gauges and finalizing the engine harness. With that, I have almost finished my gauge wiring. The 5 center console gauges are all ready...

    gauge recommendation?

    Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on some gauges for the project, but I'm looking to settle my soul or hear something new. I'm looking for all new, electric gauges and I've always had the thought I would go Autometer. However, are they the best choice? They are the big name out there, but...

    My '75

    Figured I'd show off my dump. Trust me, the paint looks a lot better in photos. I wanted a project car to build to my specs. One of the primary goals was to ultimately drop an LSx/T56 into it. I didn't decide how I was going to do some serious power (N/A or turbo), but I knew I had something...

    What's the best solution for this?

    Hey guys, I've searched for a clue or an answer, and no dice. I realize this is very beginner, but I need to start fabricating somewhere. In reference to another thread I started, I think I am leaning towards using a fuel cell for my engine swap. However, the one guy I found that did this...

    Fuel Cell or tank mod?

    Hey guys, yet another question. I thought I had this all figured out, until my cars configuration could have possibly screwed me over. As you know, I'm swapping in an LS1 that will be kept as EFI. I plan on running braided SS hose from the tank/pump to the fuel rail, keeping the current evap...

    clutch recommendation

    Hey guys, I'm continuing on my quest to be cheap in my swap and have a large pink elephant in the corner of my office I cannot ignore any longer: my future clutch. For my swap, it is once again a 2000 LS1 and T56 being shoved into my '75 vette. The donor parts are at 83K miles and for all I...

    Why do I get the feeling something is missing.

    I got a little lol out of this 'project.' "The cowl has the tags on it and I have a clear title . The car was front end damaged many years ago..." Yeah, this a trip. At least he isn't claiming numbers matching? Link
