Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.

I hate to put this out there, but I need an answer and I can't see my car currently.

What is the correct red-line for the tach on my car? It is a '74 L-82 with A/C. I have options of 5300, 5500 or 6K. I beleive it is the 5500, but just not sure. Per the interchange manual, it would be the same as the tach for the 454 for that year.
L-48 and L-82 without A/C were both different, so understanding those could potentially help as well (my guess is L-48 is 5300 and L-82 w/o A/C is 6K)
Thanks

When I got home tonight, I dug through some pictures, and although it looks closer to 5600, I figure it is the 5500.
Thanks everyone

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary Edition - Custom
Hi, I'm BRAND SPANKING NEW here, and have no idea how this posting business goes......But speaking of DUMB questions, I have one!
Can someone please tell me how to remove the ash tray receptacle from a 1978 Silver Anniversary Edition? It seems to be catching on something right before I am able to totally remove it. Is there a trick to it that I'm just not seeing?
Please help! Thanks! :)
Hi Wendy, Welcome to C3VR! The ashtray should pull straight up. Try rocking it side-to-side as you pull up. Let us know if you are still stuck or if you need help with anything else.

There is a spring clip on the side of the ashtray insert. Just make sure it's not catching on the side of the console so nothing gets damaged.

No Dumb Questions, only dumb answers. We ALL ask questions, we need to learn from those who know. This is a GREAT place to ask and learn.|UPDATED|4/28/2015 5:45:48 AM (AZT)|/UPDATED|
Just checked mine - the spring clip is on one of the long sides of the ashtray. It should just pull out with a little tug.
