General Discussion / RS Headlamps

« on: October 11, 2010, 11:02:52 PM »

Well I know questions about RS headlamps have been posted many times on this & other web sites.I have read most of them.I was wondering if there is a "Check List" of problems & a diagnosis.Im just finishing a restoration on my Z10 & my doors not opening will hold me up.I was prepared though as I did not install the grill & front tires. There are so many things that could keep my doors from opening& closing Im not sure where to start.I have used all my original parts except new hoses & check valve.They worked fine years go but..  Any help is greatly appreciated

Originality / Solenoid??

« on: May 31, 2010, 12:32:39 AM »

Now that I know what the pink wire from my wiring harness is for,what exactly do I call it? Carb idle control,Idle stop solenoid,anti dieseling solenoid,are a few of the names that I have seen! Ive done some research  at CRG,& Team Camaro,but I still not sure weather my car actually came with one.Ive owned the car since 76 maybe someone removed it before I bought it!Does it have to do with AC or or something else? My car is a 69 Z10 L35 turbo 400 AC  04C . Ive looked in the AIM on page 356,367 & 376 just not sure yet! Thanks

General Discussion / Pink wire?

« on: May 13, 2010, 01:32:41 AM »

69 Z10 396 L35 w\console gauges & ac. I just installed all new wiring on my car. Everything is terminated but 1 wire.It is a pink wire that breaks out of the harness "this harness has wiper mtr,starter mtr ect" above the ignition coil.Its about 18 inches long.This harness is exactly the same as my original & when I labeled the old harness as I was removing it I labeled it with "Positive coil ??" Im not sure it was ever hooked up ,that was 7 yrs ago.This wire IS NOT ON THE WIRING DIAGRAM in the AIM. So im not sure any ideas?? Any help is appreciated

Originality / Radiator help

« on: April 01, 2010, 10:04:36 PM »

I have a 69 Z10 big block curved neck Harrison radiator that is original to the car. I had the radiator repaired 7 yrears ago,"not knowing it would take this long to finish the car".I started the engine for the first time in 31 years yesterday,everything went well but the radiator had a small leak on the left tank.My repair shop said it has 6 leaks & if he repairs them their will be keep being more & more! I dont want to replace this radiator if I dont have too! Can anyone refer me to a shop who could fix it? Or is it a lost cause! If not repairable where can I find an original ? Any help is appreciated!

Was there ever a stamped metal tag "from the factory"attached to the rear axle stating it was a limited slip differential ? Or is it another made up "vender" part?

In 69 could you order a Z10? What I mean by that is ,I know they were a regional promotion,only sold in the southwest. So did chevy just build a certain number & ship them to the dealers for stock?? Maybe a dumb ?question but I have to ask!

Ive owned a 69 Z10 for 33 yrs & I seem to remember when I was 18 that there was some kind of drip pan under-neath the engine,attached to the sub-frame. Mine was a little beat up so I threw it away. Well 33 yrs later I havent seen one since!  Does anyone know where I can get one?

General Discussion / Window crank handle springs

« on: June 02, 2009, 11:07:50 PM »

When taking off my door panels "deluxe" on my 69 04C I noticed their were not any window crank springs behind them. Is that unusal? Only thing behind crank were the plastic washers!Also when I took out my firewall padding I noticed that the padding itself did not go all the way to the right side of the passenger compartment.It stops just a couple of inches past the transmission tunnel. So no padding around the heater box at all! Also the padding was never "cut" it is molded on the right side! I do have AC if that matters. I post a pic but it wont post! Any help is appreciated!
