Guys:
Those with C5's might want to look at this.
I don't know if C6's have the same bracket or not ?
On the drivers side Coil harness (back near the firewall....)
There is a bracket that the coil harness rubs against.
In the last couple months I have read 2 guys have this issue where they were having shorting and engine issues.
As our car's age... little stuff like this could come up.
Might want to look at yours to see if your headed for an issue.
I removed the bracket entirely on my setup.

You have all seen the picture,,, and the talk about it.
Here is the video from inside...
Here is the video from inside...
The driver of the Jeep wanted to park his vehicle outside a restaurant, but he found a Corvette parked and occupying two parking spaces.
So the owner of the jeep decided to teach the Corvette’s owner how to park his car. The driver of the Corvette was very angry, but at least he learned how to properly park his car next time. See his reaction in the following video. The video is filmed from the Jeep driver and he shares it with the whole world. Share the video with your friends. Enjoy! - See more at: http://www.carnoice.com/driver-doubl....hZJEU2tk.dpuf

Is a New Saleen Corvette in the Works?
http://winyournewcar.com/2014/09/29/...orvette-works/
This video shows an 850-horsepower Corvette-prototype driven by Steve Saleen, according to Redline2894.
The video features a mean-looking custom ‘Vette cruising Hollywood with a sound as menacing as its looks. While the post offers very few details about the car, the video has many wondering if Saleen is revving up to introduce a new Corvette-based model.

Never again will you see a 74 Corvette sell for almost double what a 69 427 sells for....
This add must be from 74 or 75 ish...

Just got home,, Nice evening for a little romp.. Finally got my new clutch broken in @ 519 miles... Sean tweaked my tune at idle and in the upper RPM range.. New clutch and tranny/shifter, feel solid. Pulls really well up top. 12.7 A/F ratio and a few degrees of timing added in the upper range... I'm a happy camper!

Looks nice! I need to do something like this. My engine bay looks horrible. I think I put too much SC fluid in though so that can make the engine scummy.
