This article will focus on the different types of Corvette trim Tags that were used from 1955-1982. There were numerous changes over that period and we hope to cover the majority of those changes in this article. We will cover the rear differentials in brief detail to point out the specific differences that exist.
Time: 1 hour (approximately)
Tools: socket set, flat-blade screwdriver, small putty knife or scraper, adjustable wrenches (optional).
Cost: (varied) approximately $100-$300
Tinware: center-hung float fuel bowls (if needed), metering block and hardware (sold as kit), metering jets, replacement gaskets, dual-inlet fuel line.
Tip: transfer the carburetor from the engine to a clean, open workbench. If you don’t have a carb stand, simply slide four bolts of your choice through the mounting holes in the bottom plate, and “nut” them up at the top. All you need is enough clearance for the levers and protruding linkage. (see photo #1)
Performance gains: increased fuel delivery and tuning accuracy.

Your C3 & C4 Corvette driver and passenger windows can rattle, leak air at speed, and even become scratched. How? Over time, your factory anti-rattle bumpers harden, attract dirt, and deteriorate with age. Eckler's 1969-1996 Corvette anti-rattle door window bumpers are high quality duplicates of the original GM parts. They fit just like the original anti-rattle bumpers but with exceptional durability thanks to modern materials and manufacturing methods and protective felt lining. These are sold as a complete car set with hardware.
