On the '70 I owned I had Sanderson block higher headers installed. They cleared everything. I also had a 2.5" exhaust installed all the way back with Magnaflow mufflers. It had a nice rumble at low rpm's and opened up nicely as rpm's rose.
These look promising! Do you recall where you bought them?

Thx for all the input. I currently have rams horns & true duals. Looking for more giddy up in the exhaust area. Planning on wrapping whatever ultimately is chosen so heat isn't really a concern. Any headers out there that don't have issues with the steering box? Any Intel is much appreciated😀

I have a 77 Avanti with the corvette L48 350 small block. Added dual exhaust but looking for better flow. Anyone install headers? Shorties? Long tube? Hooker? Headman? Looking for thoughts/ideas. Thx!!

Today I let the gas tank run near empty. Filled up @ Costco & the gauge went up above 1\2 to nearly 3/4. First time gauge has read above 1/2 in a while. Could there be an issue with the float that's causing the inaccurate reading? Gauge jumps around quite a bit but read near empty when tank was close to empty.

I have a 77 Avanti. I filled the gas tank & it only read 1/2. As I drove the gauge bounces between 1/2 & 1/8. Recently I ran out of gas when the gauge read 1/8. Is there a ground that is typically bad? Are these gas gauges inherently faulty? Any insight is appreciated. Thx!!

What year is that 69 Caprice part # good thru? I have a 77. Thx.

Thanks for the replies...I'll fiddle with the end of the cable that enters the cruise control. I checked the end entering the gauge and that appears seated properly. Thanks again!

Hi All,
I disconnected my speedometer cable so I could remove the gauge cluster to replace burnt out bulbs....what a PITA!!! Not a whole lot of room to manuever but I got all of them. Anyway upon reinstalling cable the speedometer/odometer both aren't functioning. Its not the gauge as I can manually spin it & both work. I disconnected & reconnected several times...nothing. Car does have cruise control & it worked prior to all of this. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Any recommendations for a good, quality indoor/outdoor car cover for a 77 coupe? Thanks!

I have an Avanti registered in AZ that we brought in from Illinois. If you have collector insurance you do not need an emission test. The RQB serial # was also not an issue & we received a title on the spot.

Hi All,
Does anyone (Vintage Air) or another company sell a complete A/C kit for a 77 Avanti? Do I have to create my own buying the individual parts (compressor, evaporator, hoses, etc)? Is there another vehicle that interchanges?

I've seen #'s listed some places as 200 total, 44 convertible. Did you get your #'s from John Hull's data?

Hi All,
Does anyone have definitive production numbers? I've seen inconsistent "facts" posted on various sites. Thanks!

Thanks for the information! I'll explore your suggestions.

Hi All,
My 77 has been running a bit hot out here in the desert (AZ). I took a peek under the hood & the radiator has seen better days. Small leaks in the fin areas & the drivers side tank area appears corroded. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket option for an aluminum radiator? Is my only option having my original cleaned/boiled & re-cored? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

Convertible top pump

Check the fluid in the pump & verify it is indeed power steering fluid. I've had several convertibles with power tops that were filled with trans fluid in the pump.
