<blockquote data-quote="ddgermann" data-source="post: 114735" data-attributes="member: 3537"><p>The 1966 Corvette was very similar to the 1965 however the introduction of the big block 427 being the most significant change. A move to compete with the Shelby Mustang that was in essence unsuccessful due to the overall larger mass of the Corvette. Despite this, the performance numbers for this 427 equipped Corvette are impressive even by the standard we expect today. </p><p></p><p><img

[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 114735, member: 3537"] The 1966 Corvette was very similar to the 1965 however the introduction of the big block 427 being the most significant change. A move to compete with the Shelby Mustang that was in essence unsuccessful due to the overall larger mass of the Corvette. Despite this, the performance numbers for this 427 equipped Corvette are impressive even by the standard we expect today.

The washer pump will not disperse washer fluid even though all of the hoses are inspected and properly connected, the washer fluid reservoir is full, and the washer nozzles are lear of debris. When this occurs, it is often the result of a bad washer pump nozzle valve. During normal (proper) operating conditions, the valve receives the washer fluid solution from the reservoir, and then it is forced (via the pump) to spray out through the washer fluid nozzles. The washer pump nozzle valve contains a small rubber diaphragm that can dry out and become brittle with age. It is generally the failure of this internal diaphragm which causes the mechanical failure within the valve itself.

However, they were used in conjunction with shielded plug wiring to cut down on radio static. Because the fiberglass body of a Corvette did not provide electrical shielding like a conventional steel body would, radio static was a genuine problem for all of the second-generation Corvettes.

The main frame rails are prone to rusting, as is the rear kick-up behind the cabin and in front of the rear wheel. Other areas that are prone to serious fatigue from rusting include: the rear trailing/control arms, the inner “bird cage” metal substructure that supports the fiberglass body panels, the inner door frames, the door pillars, and the cowl area at the base of the windshield.[/LEFT] [*][LEFT]Radiator supports and the gas tank are prone to corrosion.[/LEFT] [/LIST] [SIZE=4][B][COLOR=rgb(51, 51, 51)][FONT=Oswald][SIZE=24px]1966 CORVETTE INTERIOR ISSUES[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B][COLOR=rgb(51, 51, 51)][FONT=Oswald][SIZE=5]SAGGING FLOORBOARDS[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]As the result of age or excessive wear, many 1963-1967 Corvettes are known to have sagging floorboards. This problem can sometimes be addressed by carefully raising the sagging floorboard using a floor jack & wooden blocks and then installing two rubber spacers on either side of the tunnel between the crossmember and floorboard where the floorboard is sagging (typically just outboard of the exhaust pipe holes).

As the cam ages, it can stop operating. When this happens, the turn signal level will not return to its neutral position and the turn signal will continue signaling, even after the completion of the intended turn of the steering wheel. While replacement of this cam assembly generally takes a couple hours to complete, it is not a difficult repair to make, though it will require the removal of the steering wheel to access the cam.[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT] [/LIST] [IMG]https://www.corvsport.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1966-chevrolet-corvette-front-side-view.jpg[/IMG][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9a/3a/47/9a3a477e12ac3b68db10d6f59d5ca28c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a2/2f/07/a22f07828b0513b5f6c93d1f1984c4e2.jpg[/IMG] The Mako Shark II got its patent in 1966.
