    90 won't start just clicks!

    I use to by-pass the solenoid on the starter by just using a long screw driver and touched the 12v post on the starter to a small post on the solenoid. If the ignition key is in the "ON" position the engine would start. It can't be the neutral safety switch since if it was the cause you...

    1991 starter removal

    I changed starters on both my 86 and 96 and neither required removing the exhaust. Jake

    Bose Tape to CD Swap

    I don't know for sure but I suspect the wiring harness will allow the Gold Cassette/CD to be a direct swap in. If the CD/cassette was a factory option I suspect GM used the same wiring harness for both Going with an aftermarket sound system will call for resistors be added to the Gold wiring...

    84 vette won't start when it is hot

    When my 96 did that it was the starter. On my 86 the intermittent no-start condition was chased down to the ignition module. Jake

    Help! Oil Pressure Drop

    Also, that specific issue is written about in the owner's manual for my 96 saying the pressure could be as low at 6 psi under the conditions you mentioned and that it's normal.. If you want to see a higher pressure at idle, move up one step in oil viscosity. Move up from, say 5W30 to 10W30...

    What a crappy way to start my vacation.

    I had the same problem two years ago when I was more than a thousand miles from home. I ended up changing mine on the side of the road. After that I started carrying a spare alternator in the hatch when far from home. Glad you're up and running again. T50-PLUS on that torx bit - Summit has...

    Help! 1995 Center Vent Screws a B_tch!

    I had the same problem and did the same thing, removed the bulb. It takes a longish torx head bit (even a star bit might work) to remove the screws. With the correct bit, my screws (96 LT1) came out easily. Jake

    HELP PLease!! Torx size on alternator

    If all else fails, just make your way to a hardware/auto parts store, like ACE/AutoZone/etc. and buy one of those very inexpensive multi-size torx bit kits. I find them in display bins where sale tools are. I'll bet less than $10. Jake

    WTB 92/93 Cluster

    I have a 96 cluster, but the lettering is white, so it won't match the 92-93. Check the CorvetteForum, I believe I saw one there. Jake

    big block install

    You could check some other Forums because I've come across several guys' posts on doing the same thing. I'm sure they'd want to share. Do a Search on http:// forums.corvetteforum.com (I know there are couple of guys there who have done or are doing it) and digitalcorvettes.com vettemod.com...

    Headlight door adhesive

    I wasn't aware there was any adhesive used. My 86 HL doors had screws on the side. Remove the screws and the doors come right off. Jake

    Leaking Injector

    A little engine oil on the O-rings helps them slide in more easily without the chance to tearing them. Jake

    What's the Difference?

    Well, I bought the one shown in my avatar. I'll be flying up to NY to pick it up the first week in May. That way I can kill two birds with one stone: pick up the car in NY then drive down to D.C. to attend my daughter's graduation from American University. After the ceremony I'll be taking...
