    New Flowmasters

    Yes,I have the automatic but I have the 2.79 gears. It was noticeable the second I drove off.I'm certain the reduction in backpressure is the culprit. Unfortunately the shop welded the 'Masters on so I can't play slip on/slip off to experiment with different mufflers.:(

    Code Jackpot!!

    Hi.It's me rdgfx3 again. I've cleared all codes,drove around a little and returned with a code 32. I checked that shock and the gear on top of the shock had a chunk out of it.The chunk was in the actuator so I bonded it back to the gear.When it cures I'll see what happens. It's a shot in the...

    frisbee??

    It wouldn't be an underdrive pulley. You are not replacing the pulley,you would simply be removing weight. Mine is off.I want to break in the water pump a little before I G-Tech it.

    I *knew* this would happen:(

    I have it back together and running. In a post on the board,there was mention of the frisbee,which turns out to be the water pump vibration damper.I did not put mine back on.I want to see if I notice any change. G-Tech time!!! I'm kinda nervous about leaving it off for very long.If GM...

    I *knew* this would happen:(

    I got it.It went from the main bracket to the left front lower ac bolt.I was brain dead for a while there but it came back to me. The camera is a great idea,and as I was wondering where the hell that part went it occurred to me that I could take pics and solve all this puzzlement once and for...

    Geez,all sorts of jack locations. My jack is located on the floor behind the drivers seat where it expands into a couple of holders to secure it.

    I *knew* this would happen:(

    I knew it,Iknew it,I knew it. It's happened before so I developed a system. My system failed. Since I tend to forget which part or nut or bolt etc. came from,I label them and put the items in a plastic compartment box,so each item has its own place and the compartment is labeled. It's worked...

    Battery Problems

    It's fairly easy to put an underhood switch on the C4 to eliminate the lidhts remaining on.And when the mercury switch goes bad in the lights, you can simply bypass the mercury switch and use the toggle switch you installed to turn the underhood lights on and off.

    L-98 water pump replacement

    I broke the hose off of my coolant fill tank by my poorly placed elbow on one s.p.changing job.That's O.K.it was reasonably priced. OBSERVATION: Ya know,the parts for this car are really not that expensive(so far) The only part that made me gasp(at this point)was the brake master...

    L-98 water pump replacement

    It is not THAT bad. Replacing the right side bank of spark plugs on the L-98 is harder IMHO. BTW,I am stalled until I get the hoses.Lower hose and both heater hoses are backordered. This wasn't a job I expected to fly through.I have the time to wait and most important,another cool car to drive...

    L-98 water pump replacement

    It would be easier if I removed the skirt and that is what I will do on reassembly.

    L-98 water pump replacement

    Actually,the most difficult task was the removal of all parts needed to access the water pump itself. Naw,the lower bolts on the A/C compressor were really the most *challenging*(meaning -#@##$^%*) I hope I can remember what order things will need to go back on sinc e I have to put it on the...

    L-98 water pump replacement

    Well,I had to stop about 11:00 AM to go work on my new store.Still trying to get it ready for Grand Opening on Saturday.I just got home. I have removed all obstacles,if you will,and I think I may have introduced new cuss words to the English language in the process.The large bracket for a/c has...

    L-98 water pump replacement

    Gordan Killebrew suggests removing the weatherstrip on both sides of the clamshell,in front of the doors where the hood comes down.He says in his book'Top 50 Questions From Corvette Owners'it improves underhood cooling.He also notes that from '92 on,the factory did not put these strips in...

    L-98 water pump replacement

    Alternators,eh?I *might*be able to help you.What kind of problem are you having?Well,that's kind of a dumb question actually,but it's a way to start.I suppose you are replacing them often?
