What year is your Vette?
Is that an air scoop on the front where the license plate cover is?

The best thing I ever bought was a torpedo Proane Heater. Not sure onthe BTU, but it heats fast. I use my outdorr grill tank on it. PLus around here, Home Depot has a 24 hour tank exchange. $16.80 right now for a full tank. Can't beat it. Doesn't take long at all to heat..especially in your small garage. That is what I'm using in a three car garage it works great heats it up in no time

Yes, you can re-use the nuts if your careful taking them off. The stud on the emblem is softer, so the nut digs into it. Not sure how many times you could re-use them, but I know more than once or twice. :thumbleft: Just be carful not to over tighten when putting the nuts back on, you can break off the stud.

I'll be replacing the bushings in the control arms also, so I'll have everything off the car, just like you picture.
Thanks for the info Tom

Hi Brian, One question How do you compress the front leaf spring for assy? I will be rebuilding the front suspension on my 84 soon. The only thing holding me back was compressing the leaf spring without using some exotic tool.

Wires should not be too hard, just wondering about a clean and accessable way to mount it

Sorry for the very late update, but the problem was the coil wires (inside). The wires has small cracks which was causing them to arc across each other. I found it when the car shut off while driving. Replaced the coil and the noise went away.

Don't know if I'll be there, got the interior torn apart to replace the rear carpet. Never thought I would have to remove most of the interior and the roof to replace the rear carpet
Taking my time having fun. Tom

The one on my 84 (different location of course) is connected to the vacuum reservoir for the cruise control and ?????? I can't tell where the smaller outlet connects to but on my car it runs down the firewall behind the distributor. Could be for the vaccum switch on the brakes that disengages the crusie control.

1984 with Bose
After the tune up I've been getting a static noise, does not get louder with the volume, Stock AC plugs, new wires (not cheap and resistor type), new cap and rotor (non AC). What could of happened to develop the static noise? Re-checked all connections, no wires are touching the exhaust manifolds. Even tried a different set of wires....didn't work. The noise was not there before the tune up. Tom
