Hey all. I have a 1975 Corvette C3. I just did something stupid. I pulled my alternator to have it checked; however I did not disconnect the battery. As I disconnected the battery cable from alternator, it arc'ed badly. After having the alternator checked, upon reinstalling it, I have no power at all. I'm trying to determine which fuse, or relay, or whatever I have blown. Any help is appreciated. I do not have a fuse box layout. Thanks Apostle Smith

Asked by RevSmith Mar 17, 2019 at 12:17 PM about the 1975 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

As stated in the subject question, but again, I have a 1975 Corvette C3.  I ust
did something stupid.  I pulled my alternator to have it checked; however,  I
failed to disconnect the battery first, and it touched some metal and arc'ed.
After reinstalling the alternator, I have no power at all.  I think I fried a fuse or
relay, or something.  My question is which fuse?  I do not have a fuse box
layout.  Any help is appreciated.

Does anyone have a pic of what Mark refers to as "the mega-fuse"?

Maintenance & Repair
Hello all. I have a 1975 Corvette C3. I took it out several evening age and the headlights raised as usual. However, just last evening I found that my headlights would not raise. After asking around the best guess is that the headlight motor circuit breaker may have blown. I found the fuses but I'm not sure what I'm looking for or what exactly it looks like. Any ideas on how to change it; what it looks like or any ideas? Any help is welcomed. Thanks Pastor Smith 4 Answers

Maintenance & Repair
I have a 1969 Chevy Corvette. I have rebuilt or replaced almost every thing. I have not replaced the original A/C compressor but converted it to the new Eco friendly freon. I had it tested three times, had the cooler boxes cleaned out, fan replaced, yet I have trouble getting the car cool. I live in So. Cal. where it is a necessity of life to have the A/C work as good as when new from the factory. I put in heat/sound shielding under the floor mats, and had all components check for proper functioning. I was thinking of going to a serpentine belt system that would get the newest A/C compressor with the system. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions? 9 Answers

The A/C system does not leak, holds the proper pressure
