    Is a 1984 CFI with 80,000 miles a good starter Vette?

    I have an 84 and have an opinion For almost the same money, I would go with an 85-88. Those have the tuned port injection. Parts are more available, you can add 50 to 100 hp with $500 and a screwdriver. The issues I have had with the 84 are with getting parts. The one listed in the...

    84 Bose poping breaker

    Not sure how long you have had the Vette However it is common practice to put a bypass switch under dash (Or other places) so that you control the antenna up and down. That way it decreases wear on that motor. Maybe someone wired wrong? In addition, I had my BOSE serviced. I had a cracked...

    Radio hum, 1988 Bose Radio

    Due to each speaker having its own amplifier. The head unit must be the common problem. I would bet there is a loose connection within. The soder within is a continual problem. Start there.

    Digital Cluster 1988 Vette

    Couple of questions 1. When the display goes off, does the turn signals (Both) go bright? 2. Does the odometer stop working when the dash is off (May be hard to tell) 3. Can you still see the displays working, just no back light? 4. Has there been any modification to this display that you...

    I have and 84 that had the BOSE system. Only speakers in the door and the back. However I not only replaced the door and rear, but added the 4X6 infinity plates to the dash. Like above you have to remove the dash pad. Sounds great, removing the dash pad was not easy. Make sure the...
