    How critical is 120 Reserve Capacity for an early C5?

    I keep a CTEK on it. So I ended up with a 78VPG 800 CCA 110 RC. It replaced a 110 RC in 2008 that replaced the original. So I'm getting eight years out of the AC Delco batteries. I guess I can't complain battery life. It just seems like I just replaced it.

    How critical is 120 Reserve Capacity for an early C5?

    Is 19001632 the correct part number and does the parts counter have to pull up a different parts database...like "new old stock (NOS)?"

    How critical is 120 Reserve Capacity for an early C5?

    Forgot to add that the Chevy dealer, parts dept said that series has been replaced by another series and the 120 is no longer available

    How critical is 120 Reserve Capacity for an early C5?

    So, the OEM battery spec for a 2000 is a battery with a reserve capacity of 120 amps to manage electrical requirements that include the column lock deal. My second Delco battery has failed its test so as I seek a replacement, I am concluding AC Delco has abandoned its OEM clientele and offers...

    AC Delco Battery C5 Service Replacement...years later! Well, the AC Delco battery for my 00 Corvette failed its battery test and researching its replacement has been less than successful. Even using part numbers listed in this discussion thread has not produced correct service replacement. I...

    Question: Anyone ever seen these makings before on there L81 or C3

    As Mike indicated...this is the job number when the body panels were being built and prior to the assignment of the VIN tag. If you have a buildsheet, you'll probably find 441 in the upper left-hand corner as a part of the schedule information. The number was assigned to track all the body...

    Help! Power door locks will lock but won't unlock

    Mike this is not a bad task and can be completed by access to the door panels. I had a similar problem and when I pulled the door panel, as Ed notes, I found a wire hanging by a few single strands. Its good to go thru and check both switches and actuators while you've got the door panel off...

    c6 clutch

    Why the emphasis on "VISUAL inspection only." Eliminate moisture and contaminants from entering the system?

    Question: Did 78 - 82 jacks have date codes?

    Mark Look for a three number code on the rivet at the base (if you're still looking). With cranking end toward you, should be on the right side. So, 743 would be read as the 43rd week of 1977 while 808 is read 8th week of 1978. Model years 1976-78 used this date code format while 1975 and 1979...

Copies were than distributed to the various assembly lines to track the various assemblies that would...

    St Louis Build Sheets Vs Bowling Green

    I posted this question on the Corvette Forum and it was suggested I post here. I did do a search and came across IrishPoker's posting of his 1981 build sheet that helped to answer my question. I wanted to know if the VIN on St Louis 1981 build sheets was typed or printed. I knew from copies I...
