Yep, I looked it up since I never heard of that color before. Red would have worked, but GM IS different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 I've not seen this before. I think at least one is for setting the trip meter? Are there other adjustments? There is one off to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Center arrow should be the headlight override switch, not sure about the other two arrows though. Watched your latest vid, if you want to have your carb expertly rebuilt to perfection, contact this guy below on the Big Board. Lars IS the corvette C3 forum carb guru. Your carb will be ready to install and fire up when you get it back from him. Just tell him what year you have. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Thank you. None of them actually do anything at the moment. Got lots of work to do. I think if it was an original I'd consider having it rebuilt. I always lean toward a new carb when I get a car. I tried to rebuild my last Edlebrock on my 73 Mustang but didn't seem to do much better. Had a local place rebuild it and that wasn't much better. Bought a new one.

JohnU Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 It appears the block was lightly "decked" and left some of the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccaneer Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 So, are you changing the color of the interior to black? If not, those need to be replaced to do it properly IMO or even if you go with the original color. Save whatever hardware you can and just order new panels. To do a complete C3 interior now, can be expensive, but worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 It will be black. I've been pricing new interiors and yeah it's costly. I've completed two Mustang (1970 and 1973) interiors and this interior is a lot more $$ than they were. I do want to save date-coded parts. Thanks!!!

Yep, C3 interiors along with others are rather spendy anymore. The word CORVETTE is the driving force behind that. If it said Camaro or Chevy stepside you would be better off. I swear that everything for a corvette is a minimum of $100, even OEM bolts. You just gotta love getting gouged by everyone these days. GL with your resto.

Tim Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 I thought I'd drop a couple after pics on my interior work. The color conversion is done. Kept as many parts as I could....a couple I shouldn't have...but I'll replace them soon. Here are the before pics as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
