Just saw almost exact same car at a car show last weekend. Power windows, yellow and black interior but had a 302 in it.

I bought my 73 vert in Phoenix, 2 overnights back home to Houston. I called the hotels before booking and told them I was driving a classic car and needed safe parking. Like you, I stayed in nice hotels and each one was very happy to accommodate me. Each of them reserved a parking space for...

Thanks for that.  I downloaded only the 73 diagrams and never thought to look at the other years so now I've downloaded all 3 years and its all very helpful.  I'm going to have to do a lot more tracing of hoses! Thanks

I like the idea of getting this locally so I'll give my NAPA a go! Thanks for the tip on painting it.  Where I live I don't get to many swap meets.  Thanks for the picture as well.  I also don't have that black plastic elbow from the air cleaner to the fresh air intake on the RHS rear valve...

 I'm familiar with rockauto and followed your link; from the description of 3/4" x 36" long it looks like the right one but the pickure and the rest of the description is for the larger diameter Exhaust Manifold to Air Cleaner hose. Wierd!

Hello  I have a 73 vert 351C-2v (H code) with A/C.  I'm putting back to original and I cant find the proper hose from the carbon canister to the air cleaner on any of my parts sites.  I know its not just a normal rubber one, its kind of one of those ribbed softer hoses I believe. anybody know...

I recently replaced my pump motor/reservoir cause my old one leaked.  Mine calls for Type F.  Until I replaced the pump, I was filing it twice a year and the leak made a mess in my trunk.  I see earlier post suggestion of using a turkey baster - thats a good idea, I used a very small funnel and...

I'm in the same situation i.e. does a guy buy replacement parts or paint and deal with the chrome trim problem. Real interested in how some of the options for the chrome turn out......

If your the type who only hang onto a car for a few years then move on to another classic car then leave it alone as you will never get all your money out of it.  But if your like me and will hang onto it forever then make it "just the way you want it" !

I agree with the comments from David - my top is worn badly where it comes close to the chrome on the drivers side and it looks terrible specially when my top is white and the damage looks black from the black interior of the vinyl top. I've adjusted the spacing on both sides and its good but...

Sorry all - tied up for a bit. Thanks to all for the tips and info!

The Ravelco is a cool product - big $$$

hey guys thanks for the fast replies kill switch might just do the trick - you say your about to install it - did you just find it on the host of supply sites or did you find it at a place that specializes in auto security? I'll post some pics as suggested but i do need to take some better ones

Hello all I'm new at this posting thing so hope I'm doing this right.  This is a great site, fun and helpful.  Wondering if anyone has put a security system in their ride?  even though mine is a rag top I would still like to have the comfort of knowing it won't be stolen.  I've got an out of...
