Speedo problem
Hi.
I have a 1978 L82 Auto. A/C and the speedometer says I am going 70 when I am going 30. is the problem in the circut board or the speedometer itself? And where can I get it fixed. Also I just bought the car and I cant find out what a L82 engine is? Any help would be appreciated. Also where can I send some parts to get rechromed? and where can I find chrome parts for engine like water pump, intake manafold, carb, anything I can put chrome on thats what i want to do any sugestions?

This is Bob at Fichtner Chevrolet,
The L82 was the designation for the Special High Performance 350 that the Corvette used.
You have enough questions here it will be tough to answer them all in a post, why don't you give me a call at 800-234-5284 and I will try to answer them all for you.
