I need help with a price for a 68-82 model

DZAUTO — Mon, 11 May 2026 20:04:20 GMT

YES, YES, YES, I know this is the 53-67 forum, i need no reminding.
One of our friend's is looking to buy a 68-82 (preferring a 70-73) and asking my advice on 2 cars he has looked at (and turned down).
Even though this is not the 68-82 forum, I'm hoping there may be knowledgeable, helpful sources for advice.
Our friend wants to be at a max of $15K for a NEEDS NOTHING, READY TO GO car. I have not found a way to politely and tactfully tell him that he is way off base for such a deal on a 73 or even an 82.
First, what is the price range for a needs nothing, ready to go car?
Next, any suggestion as to how to tell him he is not going to find that car for his price limit?

Thanks

WTB (Want To Buy) 65/66 Power Antenna Cable

Dave Strickland — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:49:07 GMT

I have a complete core that needs only a cable to make it operational. I�m rebuilding it for a fellow member. We know they are scarce and I�m willing to pay �retail� for a useable cable. PM me if you have one or know where I can find one.
Thanks in advance.

Nice surprise!

Fixed LS7 heads failed

Bruno417 — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:40:52 GMT

I have been in the process of getting a new upgraded cam installed in my '13 Z06. A few weeks ago my engine builder gave me the bad news that my oil pump was scored and probably should be replaced. So went down that rabbit hole, no more GM pumps, so my only option was the Katech track pump for $1,700. Got that and just took it to him today, he then says come on back to where my engine is, well this guy is really thorough and he motions me over to where my heads are on the work bench. You guessed it, the heads I had "fixed" 6 years ago had every valve guide trashed. Some were 6+ thousandth's of wiggle. So guess I dodged another bullet. I don't know how much longer it would have gone before it dropped a valve. Whew. He recommended I change over to roller rockers because the geometry on the stock rockers just doesn't work. Anyway just ordered a set of TSP shaft roller rockers ( they are not on their website have to ask for them) to go with all the other parts. So far a simple cam shaft upgrade has been way more expensive than planned, however it is surly better than a aerated block. Should be done in a few weeks IF I don't have anything else that needs replacing.

Auto hold?

davanz — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:40:29 GMT

On two of my other cars, a CT5 and an F150, there is the Auto Hold feature, which I use every time I drive. In city driving, it is good to be able to let foot pressure off of the brake pedal on long traffic lights. On my C8, there is not this feature and my work around is to pull the parking brake button, and them when it is time to go, just as I start opening the throttle, the brake releases. Isn't this just manually doing what the Auto Hold system does?

Distributor / Vacuum Advance Help Needed

K-Dog — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:20:46 GMT

1971 Running Points

goal: Change Vacuum Advance Mechanism.

issue: Vacuum Mounting screws are blocked by plate.

The base plate is blocking access to the mounting screws. I managed to get one out, but there must be a better way.
the plate doesn�t rotate freely either, which it probably should.

Base plate

Inboard side screw is blocked.

In Search of z06 Brake Cooling kit.. ?

nashvillechris — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:20:22 GMT

so, I bot my 2025 z06 used (5k miles, from one previous owner.). I just realized that it does not have any of the Brake Cooling Kit plastic pieces installed,
and the place where I bot it does not have it either. It is supposedly in a big plastic bag when it arrives from the factory and the dealer is supposed to
to install them, around each of the 4 wheels.

I track all my cars at NCM so I need these.

I just contacted my local dealer's parts department and he says GM has a part number, but says "no availability".

Has anyone else run into this problem? Any thoughts on where I can get this kit? referring to the pic below, i'm talking 2,3 & 4.

thanks!
