78 pace car...wow...doesnt get any better!!! Plus i own a 78!!! The 78 pace car in my books is the numero uno!!! It has and always be, my favorite car of all time.....well except for a c6...but i wouldnt be able to pick between the 2 thats for sure!!!

It looks like a rad spacer of somekind.... Did you habe rad replaced? Is it rubber? Could be something someone used to shim rad into place. Its not your typical spacer thats for sure....but it looks familiar to me....ive seen it before....but not on a vette min you. Do you own a tent?? Is it...

It was many years ago sn-III when cellphones didnt have cameras...what a shame though...i loved my z28's!!

I srayed mine with wd/40....kept soaking it down to wash the tracks clean....it gets pretty sticky in there....then washed out the inside of the bottom of door with zep degreaser...still have to finish cleaning drivers side out. The dirt and old grease in there, from others i suspect, is...

81 will have lots of switches that can actuvate alarm....both doors, both t-tops, both keylocks(drivers door has 2, plunger and slideswitch), and hood, there should also be a switch up under front grill that turns it on or off...its a key switch like your door lock...may or may not have it...

If you have a quadrajet and it works fine on warm starts, its exactly what other have mentioned...leaky fuel bowl...they are know for it. As some had stated, check for squirts from accelerator pump when cold...if y pur get 1 or 2 squirts its not enough...choke should be set to just close at...

Im sure alot of people will recognise the pics and what i had been working on. I like to help out others, lots of experience with these old beasts...first corvette though...love these years/body styles. Has 3 78 camaros at one time when i was younger...and one 78 firebird. . . well im off to the...

And we ready!!!
