what's that nipple for?! Hey Man! Thanks for the tip off. That was my thought at first. But then I thought I'd seen of those sensors mounted on a coolant reservoir. I didn't recall seeing one on my car's radiator and sure enough when I double checked, my original radiator has the nipple but...

Thanks BobMo, my wife helps as often as she's available. She doesn't want me doing anything. She's very handy, way not afraid of tools or doing anything with them. Helped me repair and retrofit the gas tank on a rusty ol Chevy Lumina years ago... had a healing back then too. I laid on the ground...

I've had a few classic cars and a couple of Trans Ams, and cars that were just Old. I did just like you were saying. I couldn't help myself anyway. I have some mental health issues. I just sold my 64 Mercury Comet and it went bye-bye with tons of extras. Just one example, hubcaps. Piles of them...

:ugh NO Way! Really! I just bought those Assist piston things too, but haven't installed them yet. I just got 13 Fusions! I've got an '85 with the same heavy hood. My wife is worried that I might pop a fusion opening it. I told her once I have the Assist gadgets installed it'll be easier. If...

Yep! That's the Gizmo. All this time I'm looking at the picture online just about to order it saying in my head, "what's that for?!"... and that thought just got stuck there. I will say in my defense, I'm all torqued up on medication from having 13 fusions installed just recently, and although...

Yep! Bingo! Thanks, John :pat

I can so totally see me in your shoes with that radiator cap experience... I had such a crystal clear vision of me as you. Your cell phone probably wouldn't work out there anyway... or it would have died too because that's what the Universe had planned for you. I think the radiator upgrade to...

Just went shopping eBay for Red about a 1/2 hour ago (about 1/2 hour before reading your post), laughed because I had the same thoughts, Ha! No Luck! John :pat

With all them billions of dollars flyin' around, you'd think they'd have a better price on the hoses. john :pat

That's what I was hoping to hear regarding fitment. I find the color to be unique, different, decorative... I've never seen them before. I found them on RockAuto when searching for cooling system parts for my car. They didn't have much in the way of Radiators. I found a couple of nice all...

Hello Everybody! I hope all are happy and experiencing good health today. What do you think of these? Any Experience with these? Have you ever seen them iinstalled? I have a 1985 Corvette. Do You think these will fit Okay? CONTINENTAL 5008 High Performance Kit Super Hi-Miler Blue Hose Best...

Good Day to All! I hope All are enjoying a pleasant day. I have a very Base/Stock 1985 Corvette. Very Rare in that it has only 1 purchased option, Cruise Control. The car was previously owned by a senior citizen. All the parts are Genuine GM AC Delco. He gave me a spare drivers side GM Muffler...

Black Pepper I have an '85 Corvette, just got it inspected today, has a radiator leak, but still passed inspection because it was only for safety, $10 bucks. PS. My wife says to me, "I'll be right back", after the manager of the Monro shop we were at gave us a quote over $600 dollars to...

What's that Thing on my engine?!?! Hi Blue 85 Corvette, this is Red 85 Corvette. I got my first Lovely Red Corvette, Feb 20th, 2016... drove it home from the previous owners home, then days later, went for a ride in an ambulance for having broken hardware on my spine. And so she sat for quite...

I'm dyin' to try 'em! But I'm hoping that someone has a photo they could post. I think it would help me fall off the fence one way or the other. john

In ECKLER'S 2015 Paper Catalog, Page 127, ONLINE STK. # 25-122166 Wheel Spinners,I found Wheel Spinner Kits for 1984-1987 Corvette STOCK SALAD SHOOTER aluminum wheels. You can also purchase optional "Cones" to cover the lug nuts and emblems for the centers of the Spinners. They're quite Unique...

Ignition System Bible You're absolutely correct. That is a fantastic read. The Very Bible of Spark Plug Wires. It'll prevent me from buying just "cool" wires and stuff and help me put together a nice ignition system that won't interfere with my other electronic junk and computer with EMI/RFI...

skinny wires and such Thanks for the response, it's very informative. Right, I get it. Low resistance and a powerful ignition coil on let's say plain ol' 5mm wires, one can expect their stereo system to be somewhat grainy. I got some Accel 5mm Wiire ($21.00!) and they swear and advertise them...

Omgwow! That photo is awesome!!! Ok! That's Cool! Thanks! But what about that photo. It's Amazing! I'm a USCG Vet. I'm big about flying the Flag. When I was growing up in Brooklyn during the 60s & 70s, and going to grammar school, every class room had a picture of George Washington on the...

Good Day! I hope you're enjoying a pleasant weekend. I notice that as I'm writing a post that the post gets Auto Saved. How does one find/retrieve the Auto Saved text from the post? John PS. I did search the FAQ and entire forum with no luck.
