BOLT OUT CRAFTSMAN TOOL SET I agree with the above two posts! This tool set has saved me while restoring old cars with rusted bolts more than once. This is one tool that works as advertised! :)

Reverse Flow Cooling toptechx6--You have it absolutely correct!!!

Crow Foot Flare Nut Wrenches Been there- Done that! Sears don't have the 20 MM size. Snap-On has a lifetime warranty also.:)

Crow Foot Flare Nut Wrenches I bought mine from Snap-On. 3/8 Drive 20 MM--FRHM 20 3/8 Drive 16 MM--FRHM 16 Go to the Snap-On website and put in those part #'s. They will send them right to your house. I don't remember what they cost, but they are top notch, Very high quality pieces...

That is why I suggested the 16-20mm crow foot flare nut wrenches--so he doesn't round off the fittings. It's always better to use the right wrenches the first time, that avoids the problems you had with the "bunged up edges." Even plain flare nut wrenches would be another choice, but having...

My filter was 16mm and 20mm wrenches, and I used flare nut, crow foot wrenches.

'89 w/chk eng lite Radar-- Call Classic Motors 630-357-5170 He is in Naperville Ill. I know it's a long way from Milwaukee, but it is worth it. His name is Bob Zimmerman, he has worked on Corvettes for 35 years, and NO ONE else has worked on mine! He is VERY knowledgeable, honest and...

'85 with body mods John-- We had an '81 just like yours. It was white with a saddle interior, 4 speed car. It got a Bloomington Gold Certificate in '92. It was a great car. About your '85--If the price is " right " I would buy it and enjoy it regardless of the body modifications. If you like...

Need A Part John-- Try Vette2Vette--815-673-6200 This is a Corvette Salvage Yard in Streater Illinois, they will probably have the part you need.:)

LT4 plug wires B17Crew--I saved my old set, and if you want, you can use them for judging. They ohm better than the new set I bought. Let me know when you are having your car judged, and you can borrow them. If you choose to put on that new Delco set, you will probably take a small deduction in...

LT4 plug wires B17Crew-- Here is a picture of how they look:

The wires are red, and the boots are black, the two cylinders # 6 # 8, have straight boots on them, all the others are 90 degree boots. They fit perfectly when placed in the holders on the engine. They DO NOT have the cyl numbers on each wire, so you have to match them up according to length...

LT4 plug wires The replacement wires from Delco are red, but they are not numbered like the originals were. The Partsladi has them for about $115. Oh yeah, the ones they sent me were dated 3rd quarter of '95! I ohmed the new ones, and they had MORE resistance than the old ones I took off!

Factory installed Batteries We got 11 years from the Factory Battery in the wife's '81 Corvette. I'm on the third Delco in the '96 LT4! I notice that the new GM cars are now top terminal batteries. I wonder if they are made to last as long as the side terminal batteries?

New Oils and Flat Tappet Cams I have used Mobil 1 in all the toys that have gas burning engines. I have used this oil since 1979. I owned many Corvettes with flat tappet cams, and NEVER had any problems. I also own a Buick Regal with a turbo charged engine. It has 130,000 miles on it and all...

K05-Engine Block Heater I have had an engine block heater in every car [7] since my '79 Impala. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread! When the heater is hooked up, even at -20, I drive about 1/2 mile and the heat is coming out of the heater. It always starts, and takes much less time to...

Opti It looks like a good deal---BUT--- If you read the fine print at the bottom it says "ALL SALES ARE FINAL". I see a red flag when I read that! Don't settle for anything but Genuine Delco. I know they are expensive but you get what you pay for!
