Hey guys,

Were starting to get back into finishing this build. Sadly the body shop went out of business and the owner who was a friend is no longer responding to txts and calls. He's turned into a real A-HOLE!

I had a big box of hardware that all the hardware had labels. Its gone, he may have thrown it out, or got lost when the shops land-lord evicted them. Can anyone help with sizes of bolts and nuts? Or tell me if anything needs a speed nut?

I mainly need the interior, EVAP/HEATER Box, torque converter, bell-housing, transmission, condenser and radiator, gas tank, filler/sending unit for now.

I have a 77. don't remember if its a late or early though. I had the alarm key in the drivers side fender, ad cruise control that had a rubber accordion/anodized body.

Ecklers was ZERO help. So was Corvette America. The book has NO bolt sizes. Most diagrams DO NOT have GM part numbers. It just has an arrow and a letter. The letter on the sheet just says Bolt. Sometimes it will give a torque spec, but thats it.

Bowtie Overdrives (the company that supplied my transmission) supplied some bolts still in question.
I got the bell housing bolts, inspection cover bolts, flexplate bolts, Torque Converter Bolts, and Transmission Mount Bolts. The Cross-member is still installed in the car. I have all the bolts that enter the frame on the sides of the member. However, I am told I am missing the horizontal bolt? Where does that go? Does anyone have a picture? What size is it?

Thank you again

Thanks for the help guys!

The back of the Paragon Corvette catalog has listing of all the bolts used with pictures and sizes

 

The Parts and Illustration Catalog lists fastener sizes. These are pricey when you find them You can get them hard copy paper (about 1000 pgs) or CD versions.

 

Call Richard Fortier at 810-750-1472. He can probably help you out.

 

Hi c,
Here's the location for the 'horizontal' bolt for the transmission crossmember. There's one on each side.
Regards,
Alan

WoW!!!

This manual is exhausting. What page is the Corvette even on? I found out most of the cross-member and engine/trans bolts another way. I really need the heater, a/c box, interior, and radiator/condenser

 

I had a parts guy in the early 80's give me one of those and, l loaned it and never came back

 

Brilliant.

 

you used to be able to buy that book from the corvette parts place in southern il

 

I received one from the previous owner of my 70' and for what ever reason bought another one recently online through eBay. I'll just one for the garage and one for the house.

 

All of them. It's Corvette only and set up by GM's unified parts classification (UPC) format.

That's how I got my first one. I suspect my GM parts man got tired of me bringing him 20 year old 68 AIM parts numbers. He tossed it on the counter one Saturday morning and said it would help us both. He was right. I still have it.
