Friday was a sad day. Ol’stanky went down the road to a new owner. I just haven’t had the time or money to do any more with it. Thanks for all the advice over the past year. Cheers and keep those old Vettes Rollin.

I know it’s a silly question but did you check your fuses. Sometimes it’s the simplest things

I believe batee.com rebuilds them. I’m in the same boat with my car. I just haven’t really made it a priority yet. Hope that helps

Good luck I hope you break into the tens. I’m actually going to be going to Medicine Hat tomorrow night for street wars. Hopefully I’ll break 100mph in old Stanky.

Question for you guys. I’ve been mulling over the idea of bypassing the coolant line going to the throttle body. I’ve heard that it may lower the intake temperature and produce a bit more power, and maybe lower overall engine temp. I know the gains would be low. I’ll never drive...

Little update on the transmission situation. I got the car jacked up and crawled under to assess the damages. Turns out the one shift rod cotter pin fell off and the rod fell off the transmission. Put the rod back on and it’s fixed. I don’t think I’ll ever get that lucky again. Probably the...

I’ve actually been looking at the Aisin AR5 trans also. Apparently they are cheap and can handle pretty decent amount of power. I know it’s only a 5 speed but I’d be ok with that. It’s a fraction of what a 6 speed would be. They also make adapters that bolt to 4L60 bell housings and mate up to...

I did change both before I started driving the car way back when I first serviced it . I probably only drove it a total of 100kms before yesterday. I’m pretty disappointed the trans is probably garbage now. Might look for a better option if I can’t find a cheap used one. T56 or the like is what...

So I got it all back together and I think it looks pretty good. It’s an hour one way to the track in Medicine Hat so I figured I’d just drive it there. Made it no problem, got a bit hot, that’s to be expected when it’s 30 degrees. I also got a chance to settle the debate whether my wife’s...

My wife helped me put the back window in. She took some liberties in the dust. She drives...well you know

Snapped a couple pictures of old Stanky. Paint went on ok I guess. Definitely not a professional job but a couple hours of wet sanding and buffing and it’ll be alright for a driver. Not gonna win any car shows but that’s not what I want anyways. It’s definitely black no question there. Might...

They were a cheap set I found on kijiji. No idea what brand they are, sorry. They are new but used if that makes sense. The biggest thing you have to worry about is the total width of the base. These vettes are pretty narrow. I’m not completely sure but I assume all c4’s are the same...

Just blocked it down hopefully for the last time. I’m thinking paint might actually happen this weekend. Fingers crossed 🤞.

What do you think your hp numbers are gonna look like after the install?

I’ll be sanding down the whole car this week in the evenings and fixing any of the flaws in the base. Then blow off all the dust outside, there will be a lot. Lol. Prep the shop by spraying everything down with Water to hold down dust and debris. Then wipe the car down with kwik kleen for any...
