We live in PA. We're in one of the counties that doesn't require the real strict emission testing (as of yet). Running classic plates on the car. The car already has headers on it and dual exhaust. I realize if our county goes to the stricter regulations I may need to revert back to something...

Anyone put a set of side pipes on a 76 Vette? My wife would like to have a set put on hers if I can make it happen. I think that they were not an option on this year but she still likes them. Need to keep hers the way she wants it so I can keep mine the way I want it. If you have were they...

Need some help and advice. On my 87 the speedometer started acting squirelly. It would jump from 15-55, 0-60 while driving down the road. At first this seemed to be the only problem and most everyone thought it was the speed sensor. I didn't do anything about fixing it because of time...

Definetly looks like I'm getting great mileage. The estimated guage shows high numbers, running 95 mph and turning 0 rpm's. Thanks for the input, hopefully it's a ground issue and hopefully I can find the problem.

A while back I asked a question concerning the speedometer in my 1987 Vette.(4+3 Transmission) It would bounce between say 0 and 35, 15-55 etc. Most of the replys I got stated they felt it was the speed sensor located on the transmission rather than a problem with the digital dash. Been...

clutch Thanks for the replys. The clutch does go the whole way to the floor with little or no resistance. If you pump it a few times it seems like it gets a little resistance. Not seeing any fluids under the car. I'll try bleeding the system for now and look into rebuilding the cylinder. I can...

Need some help with a clutch problem. 1987 Vette sat for a couple of months, when I went start the car there didn't seem to be much cutch. As soon as I tried to put it in gear got the grinding. Shut it down and checked the level of the fluid, it was low. Filled the reservior but I'm not getting...

I'm trying to find a speed sensor for a 1987 Vette with a 4+3 transmission. Was told that was the problem with the speedometer (it's sparaticlly jumping up and down) by several people. I can't seem to find one listed in any catalogs. Ecklers has one listed for a 6 speed but nothing for the 4+3...

Where can I get a signal processor at. Looked at a bunch of Corvette catalogs and don't see them listed. Found one listed in Ecklers but it was for a six speed. I have a 4+3.

Ken Thanks for the reply. Saw those listed in the catalogs. Hoped it might be something like that but I had no idea. Lot less exspensive and I would assume a lot simpler to install. Thanks again, John

Anyone have any ideas on this. I'm lost. Never dealt with a the digital dash. All the other Vettes have been older and had the simple old stuff. Please give me some ideas. Thanks.

I have a 1987 Vette, the speedometer started to sparadicially jump around, speeds go up and down while driving. At times it doesn't register any speed and then all of a sudden it will jump up to 35 drop to 2, up to 50 drop to something else. It seems that the longer you run it the higher it will...

Thanks Bob, I appreicate the help......John

Door trim and weather strip Bob, Sorry about not posting which car. I'm working on the 1987 Vette. Kinda need to know how to appoach the door trim, what do I do to get at the fasteners etc. As for the weather stripping, same thing where to start and how to go about it to get the best results...

Need to replace the drivers side upper door panel. Looked through the posts and did not see anything on this. Anybody replaced one of these and whats involved. Also looking for some advice on replacing weather stripping around the windshield and I also bought stripping for the doors. Looks like...
