10 Reasons not to buy a big block Corvette Expensive. All that exclusivity comes at a price. Doesn't matter, parts or service. Basically, the price goes up any time the word “Vette” is uttered.(That has nothing to do with a Big Block...Disagree!) Vacuum System. A notorious problem associated...

This is why Hib thought you were trusting your gauge. You could point a temp gun at the engine temp sensor to get a base reading for comparison. At least you'll know whether the app or vehicle gauge is off. Chuck M

Yeah right!!! Single exhaust off-road! Chuck M

I went to a Meineke Shop last year and brought in my converter so he could make me a test pipe. He wouldn't do it because just the intent to change the converter was there and he could still be fined $10K. The feds must scare the crap out of the muffler places for this guy to refuse the job...

Sounds to me like you have to find a different dealer mechanic that works on the side. He was totally going to rip you off!!! Chuck M

I still get sticker shock when I hear paint jobs for Corvettes in the 5-6-7K + range...ouch!!! What do the materials cost? Chuck M

That's a tough one Tuna. I've put exhausts on and didn't realize how lame they sounded until somebody pointed it out. I changed it out after they told me it sounded like crap. You need opinions on this add-on. There's nothing like somebody telling us our car sounds awesome!!! To me Corvettes...

Borla Performance Industries - YouTube Corsa Performance Exhaust - Sounds Go to these links and get sample sounds from each brand. Depending on your computer speakers, you can get a good comparison going. It will not be the same as next to the car, but at least it's a start. Neither...

Just in case...check to make sure all of the wires are plugged in at the wheels. Take them off, inspect them and spray some contact cleaner on both ends before plugging them back in. I had the same problem with one car. It wound up being a bad connection at the left front wheel. The connection...

First off doing that job on jack stands at 25 years old is a pain. Doing it at 55 is ... well I commend you for it :cool!:. This job is bad enough under a lift!!! AT least under a lift, you've got the full force of the extended breaker bars. Make sure you are safe under there. The bigger jack...

If you could post some pictures inside and outside it would help determining generally which parts are available. A list would be nice although I suspect it could be a long one. Chuck M

Absolutely! Chuck M

I can't believe somebody used gasket sealer instead of the gaskets????? Make sure to replace upper and lower plenum gaskets and throttle body gasket. Also all the injector o'rings...no exceptions!!! The new injectors should have the new o'rings, but just in case they don't, I thought I'd...

Moog part # K750136 Amazon's got them for 22.47 each and free shipping..great price! It's got a great picture of one. If you're getting them from your local parts place, make SURE you tell them you want the newer design with the grease fittings. The stem on those are beefier. They may not have...

If you change those out, you will not agree with your own last statement. It will seem like a much tighter car! You won't believe how much the handling of your Corvette will improve with even the slightest turns. Change them out as soon as you can and you'll see. Zooming in on your picture, the...

If you have the "plastic" stabilizer links, then yes! Get the nice metal replacement ones with the grease fittings. You'll feel a HUGE difference with those. Also replace the front ones if they are the kind I just described. By the way, the picture that Toms01 sent you has those junk plastic...
