C4 Body Molding Mount Kits
Replacing C4 Corvette Body Moldings can get very frustrating when trying to match the right hardware to the right parts. The GM body moldings used black 5mm nuts while the reproductions require 10-24 nuts. With many of the GM moldings still available it is necessary to use the correct matching hardware to correctly restore your Corvette’s exterior to factory condition. With some of the factory C4 Corvette body moldings being discontinued the demand for reproduction parts and hardware has quickly risen. Due to the fact that the reproduction body moldings will not install using the factory hardware you must search through the garage or the local auto parts store for the correct size. We have made it easy for C4 Corvette owners who are replacing the body moldings by offering a C4 Corvette Factory Body Molding Hardware Kit and a C4 Corvette Reproduction Body Molding Hardware Kit. Each kit includes 50 correct size nuts used for installing factory C4 body moldings or the reproductions.
Corvette Spark Plug Wires
We now have factory spark plug wires available for 1975-1982 Corvettes. The spark plug wires are fabricated by the original equipment manufacture, Packard Industries, who continues to produce correct looking spark plug wires for Corvettes. These 8mm wires are manufactured from the original tooling and include correct Packard Delcore II wire, which uses a special Kevlar silicone wrapped construction to prevent breaks and cracks in the conductor. The boots of the C3 Corvette Spark Plug Wires are made of the correct material, to the original thickness, with the knobs on the end for the distributor retainer; the terminals are stainless steel. These are not generic sets of spark plug wires; each set includes correct length wires for an easy, clean factory installation and is 100% Made in USA.

This weeks Corvette question comes from Ray who owns a 1972 C3 Corvette.
How do I remove the starter from my 1972 Corvette?
68-82 Corvette Starter Mount
The procedure for removing and installing the starter on a 1972 Corvette applies to all 1968-1982 Corvettes. It is not a difficult task to complete and only requires basic mechanical tools. To begin the removal first disconnect the battery cables (negative first) and raise the Corvette to an ideal working height. Next disconnect each wire at the solenoid terminals but be sure to reinstall the nuts after removing each wire as the thread sizes are different. If your Corvette has a big block, which included the starter solenoid shield you can now remove the front bracket upper bolt and remove the shield from the starter. For Corvettes equipped with the 350 engine you can now loosen the front bracket and remove the two mount bolts. You are now ready to remove the starter from the Corvette. After rotating the bracket away from your work space, lower the starter from the Corvette front first while holding it against the bellhousing.
Once you are ready to reinstall your Corvette’s Starter you can simply reverse the order of these instructions. Be sure to torque the mount bolts to 25-35 ft./lbs. first, followed by the starter brace bolt. Once correct operation of your Corvette’s starter is confirmed the removal and installation is complete.
