I've had great luck with Zaino's glass polish: https://www.zainostore.com/product/Z-12.html You should use a buffer wheel like this one...

Sounds like you need to do some more bleeding. All 4 wheels. Bobmo

Thanks for the update! Love it when the solution is simple and cheap to repair. Bobmo

I'd be looking at the old gas as well. Drain the tank, add fresh gas with some stabil or Seafoam for good measure and to help clean out what the EPA left behind. Bobmo

Since we are on the topic of stuff in our oil pans. What's your collective take on Seafoam. I've used it for years on my olde Mazda PU and am surprised how clean the internal parts are after 244k miles. I dump a can in the oil about 500 miles before an oil change. And once a year down the Carb...

In the oldie times you could jump the starter with a screw driver between the battery connection and the S terminal. That would bypass the ignition and either rule out the solenoid or the ignition switch. Make sure the car is not in gear please. :-) Bobmo

I've got an 87 and its heavy as well. You might want to go to one of the many cruise-ins in your area and chat with other vette owners to get a feel for different C4 hoods. You could get your wife to help with the other side to make it a little easier on your back. Bobmo

Sorry to touch on the global warming issues. I'm not a hippy. I dont buy the Global warming BS of Al G. From what I have read the newer CATS do a better job than the older 2 stage CATS that were in the systems back in 87. And I still have the larger CAT in place. If we were all conscious and...

I've been a club member for years! I at least have the big CAT still in place, since it was $150 for a dummy pipe or $150 for the CAT. At least it will still pass the test when the inspectors check it when I finally sell it.

I replaced the main CAT 2 years ago and that was a great improvment, actually it was essential. The 2 smaller ones in the y pipe, were getting plugged, But not any more. She no longer is suffering from Catalyitic asthma!!

All, Happy New year. I have been struggling with my 87 coupe for years, and thinking it was just me not knowing how to drive a performance vehicle. It was hell for me to pull away from a light. Either I'd have to rev her up and slip the clutch to take off, or it would stall out. The rev up...

Thanks John I did find a solution this past weekend that seems to have solved the problem. I had'nt driven the car most of the summer, but I need it now for my daily drive. I did the basics this weekend and found one of the spark plugs was loose. I pulled all of them, cleaned them up and she is...

Good morning all I have an 87 Vette coupe, 4+3 tranny. I have been driving her daily since my other day car is out of commission. Now my dilmena is this. When I shift thru the gears and go into 4th Overdrive. I need to be over 56mph or it bucks and moans like I was trying to take off from a...

Test complete Finally the rain stopped and the snow, and the cold, etc. I changed the air filter, and it was in dire need of change. She started ok, and idled fine. I listened around the engine for any unusual noises, while she was warming up, and detected a strong and steady HISSSS from the...

Thanks for the help. I will be checking things this week and will let you all know what shakes out. Sure hope its the airfilter, Nice easy fix. I forgot to mention that after I made my trip through the snow and rain, I had a custom fit ice bra that stayed on the frontend for 2 days. Wish I had...
