    iPod Interface on the C5

    The GM AUX 10 and Cor Hor- harness worked great for me, i did a combo sirius and ipod hook up. It took about 1 hour to hook up. The best sound is with the direct hook up by far. I was able to add a pre-amp between the Ipod and the radio so it can play loud and clean enough to overcome the...

    Question: What am I in store for, vette noob here

    The motor doesnt need to be removed to change the balancer. NOT EVEN CLOSE! The steering rack takes maybe a few hours to change.

    Stupid question.

    The build sheet is in that large beam at the very front of the engine compartment, directly below the lip of the nose. I believe you need to remove the nose to access the build sheet. NCM = National Corvette Museam.

    Stupid question.

    Its a sheet of paper printed for the factory, specifically the assembly line that details what parts and sub-assemblies are used on each specific car. It will detail options, dates and other specific information. On C5s its actually tucked inside the front fram rail Copies of build sheets are...

    Question: Temperature vs Thermostat

    The air dam is the long horizontal plastic part under the front center of the nose, usually the thin plastic thing that scrapes on driveways and bumps. It helps to channel the incoming air into the radiator as the car is moving. As Corvettes don’t have any open grill surfaces the air dam helps...

    Question: Dash letter emblem inserts, sill inserts ?

    I did the steering wheel insert and the airbag cover inserts 2 years ago. I think it was Cyberdyne or Cyber..somthing... Worked out fine. I cleaned the surfacers with the alcohol pads included with the inserts. You need to make sure there are no chemicals on the surfaces. Still on now...

    Question: What is the Difference Between a "LT" verses "LS" Corvette Engine?

    Yes, thats engine code for the 428 block. (I should say casting as Pontiac used the same blocks for 350s to 455s - yes a Pontiac 455 is a small block). I dont remember if the casting numbers were any differnt on the blocks for the GTOS, GPs or wagons. The heads and other components sure were...

    Question: What is the Difference Between a "LT" verses "LS" Corvette Engine?

    Sorry to go off on a tangent.... A 69 GP SJ ! Real nice car. I can relate to old Pontiacs. I had 3 GTOs, 2 Grand Prix’s, 2 1974 Grand AMs and a Firebird Formula. You have a lot of options with that car as far power plants. Anything from a 389 to a 455 will fit with a minimum of effort and...

    Question: What is the Difference Between a "LT" verses "LS" Corvette Engine?

    Either engine will fit and do the job. It will be a decent amout of work and expense. I would check to see what retrofit kits or systems are available. It may cost much more than just getting a rebuilt 400 Poncho motor What Pontiac did you buy?

    Question: What is the Difference Between a "LT" verses "LS" Corvette Engine?

    I had 2 cars with LT1s and 2 with LS1s The LS1s have more power stock across a wider rev range. 50hp is nothing to sneeze at. I also found the LS1 to be more receptive to simple power adders. LT4s for project cars are few and far between. Either engine requires some associated electronics...

    160 degree thermostat install

    No, they were not designed to be run with allot of the modifications many Corvette owners perform on their vehicles. I respectfully disagree that this modification specifically causes engine failures however. Thank you for the insight.
