    97 wont start dic said pull key wait 10 secs

    got my answer I just watched the files again, with Paul Koerner, he says the minimum for standing batt voltage is 12.5 and mine is only 12.2 so, I guess I need a new battery.

    regarding the videos, battery amps and reserve capacity I have watched them before since this is not a brand new problem, it actually has done this sporadically for a year or so. I do NOT have a full spec delco 78 silver pro battery, just a common 75 replacement is all, since I knew nothing...

    Question: Modded c6 with dyno sheet that I question, what do you think?

    more so than power questionable? I also forgot to put in the above list of power mods, is that this is an intercooled procharger. More than the overall power, which he says is enough to make first and second gear disappear in wheelspin. Since I havnt asked him about it yet, is it likely...

    86 with 4+3 tranny -- stripped plug on overdrive unit

    freon spray You may want to heat the area surrounding the plug, then hit the plug itself with freon spray , hardware stores can order a spray can of it. This should expand the case, and shrink the plug, breaking whatever corrosion is there. All the other guys had good info too, but this is an...
