The first thing that needed fixing on our 1965 Corvette was the leaking caliper. Generally we would do these in pairs, but as the rest had recently been done, we found a matching caliper, installed it, and bled the brakes. We even reused the pads as they seemed nearly new.

Seeing the L-79 65 Vette on the lift with door open reminds me back in 65 of a fellows new Corvette in my town. Larry ordered a 65 Nassau Blue, white vinyl, white soft top with hardtop, white walls and standard wheel covers, AM/FM and a 350 horse L-79 with 4 speed. Not only did it look great but sounded fantastic and accelerated. I was impressed comparing it to my 57 2X4 four speed. I recall one ride Larry gave me and being pushed back in my seat during a power shift---do folks do those anymore??? Anyway, you have a great car and enjoy each of those 350 horses!!!
In reply to RPO469 :
I'm fairly confident that most, if not all, recent manual trannies would never handle the abuse I used to give the old school Muncies.......maybe some Tremecs would, but not original equipment.....
