    Help! Overheated

    I've got ALL of Gordon Killebrew's test equipment and books. Every time I bought them, it was at Corvettes at Carlisle and the deal was I could bend his ear for as long as he could stand it. His wife is just wonderful and extremely helpful. I haven't seen them around the last few years...

    Help! Overheated

    From birdman11: "Timing and fuel pressure are independent of the computer. That is seperate totally,yet Timing and fueling are still adjustable from within the chip itself." So you're agreeing with me??? Also: I'm the one that made the call to that "C4 guy". Out of respect for him, I'll...

    Help! Overheated

    After reading the article, it took 3 chips. The 1st chip was sent back, then the next 2 chips seemed to work but they had to adjust timing, fuel pressure, etc. So the computer did not compensate for everything. Like I said leave well enough alone. There were a few instances that C4's have come...

    Help! Overheated

    The car's fuel/air ratio is adjusted according to emissions, engine temp, and air intake readings to the computer. If you mess with engine temp like fans and such, the computer is going to think something is or is not satisfied and will be running at the wrong fuel/air mixture. A too lean or too...

    Headlight problem (about to wink...)

    You have no choice but to troubleshoot step by step. You'll only get guesses here. Good guesses, but by the time you try what is suggested...your time would have been better spent just doing it right. No way around this one. Unless you get lucky with the 1st few suggestions...:) The Vacuum...

    hello just joined

    If you are working in the area near where the ABS plugs into at the inside of the wheels you could have without knowing pulled the wire out. It's easy enough to check that first. That happened to one of my customers and the wire dangled to the point it wore out the connector end. After...

    T-Tops Rattling

    This is common when your weatherstrips are so squished with old age, they don't supply the correct seal and slight tightening pressure. I'll bet your also leaking quite a bit of water whenever you get caught in the rain. You could try removing shims but be careful not to damage the tops. Let...

    C4 spiolers - new style

    They would be about $1,000 for the pair once the shipping is added in! I think they are beautiful, but for that price I'll pass. It would be about $300+ to paint and install too. It would be nice if somebody had the templates in the US and made them here. Seems pricey to me. Chuck M

    Grand Sport removing gas from the tank

    All he's asking for is a way to empty the fuel tank without stepping all over him for not driving it. Leave him alone now! .................Although...it does bring up a thought as to how somebody can purchase a wonderful, fun car like that and leave it alone. I can't see myself sitting in a...

    Help! I'm I getting screwed on the state inspection

    I don't think the inspection station is being unreasonable. If you got into an accident and the battery tipped over spilling all it's acid, they could be brought into the liability. And being upset because you don't have ANY mufflers, come on now! This inspection station and mechanic could loose...

    C7 Rear “Camaro-esque”Design Poll

    Maybe I don't want to have a 911-type design evolution on the new Corvette! Maybe I would hate, Hate, HATE it. I would also argue that from 62 to 63 and from 67 to 68 were definitely a departure into some uncharted territories. You must have been one of those that didn't like the C6 fixed...

    Is this the 2014 C7 Corvette?

    I think is kind of resembles the Camaro, but not a direct copy. It looks fantastic! I guess I just became part of it, but boy, isn't there alot of wasted petty comments about this! Sheesh!!! :eyerole Chuck M
