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!

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.
