    swapping valve springs while the engines in the car

    Many years ago I changed a few intake valve springs on a '69 427/390 with engine-in by propping the valve up thru the spark plug hole using a whittled drumstick. Had I known I would have used the knotted rope trick described above, much less chance of an OOOOPS! or damage to the piston.

    Got to look at a ZR1 close up

    I'd consider a ZR1 or Z06 if either were offered with a clutch-delete option.

    Just Prurchased an 08

    Regarding the front plate mount, move a few miles west from OK to NM, we don't have a front plate. Thanks for the pix of "Lady" resto. From the bottom, "Lady" looks like my long-gone '69 427 coupe except for the small-block FI and rear drum brakes. I didn't know that Chevy ever finned drum...

Pushing a fob button energizes the fob to transmit using the fob battery, but pushing the engine start button or grabbing the door opener causes the car to poll the fob which then responds as a passive-retail-store-type RFID tag and reflects the car's query...

    Question: Another Key Fob Question

    2009 Order Guide

    I won't be there but if I were I'd be the tall skinny geezer with a walker in the group that's there to protest that the Z06 and ZR1 are not available with paddle shift automatic. Either slushbox PowerGlide or dual-clutch Formula 1 style will do.
