Don't just disconnect the after market alarm wires, remove them! I left one in the driver's door 'cause I just didn't feel like pulling the door panel and about two months later when I hit a bump the hatch would pop open. Also there will be a splice into the main power lead over on the driver's...

Changed the one in my 90Z out and the standard seat works fine. I just don't like the "sport" seat for long hauls. Sport seat's bottom is to narrow or my bottom is to wide:D

While I admit I quit paying any attention to NASCAR back when they outlawed the Hemi, OHC Ford, Daytona, Superbird, Taledega etc. I have no interest in the soap opera it is today. "Car of tomorrow"? Yep I want one of these Toyotas with the V8, carb & 4spd! Custom chassis, regulated body, same...

Welcome home! Enjoy your wife and the car.

First be sure to go to a body shop the understands Vettes! The price will depend a lot on how much prep work will be needed as well as how many previous paint jobs the car has had. All surface cracks and crazing must be removed as they will just show up through the new paint. Bottom guess for a...

Pertronics units work great. Have them in 4 cars of my own and have put several in for customers. If you go that way be sure to check the distrib. shaft for woble as it is a zero tollerance fit.

All I can say is we have had really bad experiances with "rebuilt" ECMs. If you happen to find a really good rebuilder, let me know.

Above 160 it's normal :W

IF it's the cats, Random Tech. makes good high flow for less than OEM.

GTR, don't know how old you are but if you have never experianced all the good stuff in the old (50s, 60s, 70s) JC Whittney catalogs you just can't believe how true a statement you just made. If Ya have never seen one, it's worth the laughs to find and read one.

Might as well do it right, M/C, booster, calipers & hoses. If its been sitting that long and ? how long it was empty. The empty side is going to have rust all through it so look at the lines too.

Yep, find the leak first! If you see nothing on the calipers, pull the M/C and look in the power booster.

Is the car just throwing the 42 or is it acting up as well? Do you have a digital VOM (volt ohm meter)? If so I can supply you with some volt ranges.

White wire to distributor shorted to ground, ECM going bad OR has corrosion on contacts. Clean the contacts with some contact cleaner and check all terminals for burnt/corroded conditions.

If a stick transmission is slipping, it will make noises only a repair shop could love.
