    Is the key unable to turn the ignition or does it turn but the car won't start?

    trailering a vette

    If you're going to put the car on a trailer make sure you use the tie down hooks as shown in the attached: http://www.corvette-guru.com/uploads/smartsection/15_TowingJacking.pdf don't try to secure the car by its suspension.

    Corvette Magazine did a series of articles on a Millenium Yellow/ Red interior C3. This is the only article I could find in their online archives: Corvette Carpet Replacement 74 Stingray | Corvette Magazine

    Calling on Vette experts!!

    1994 codes would be under the center console cover; 95 & 96 were under the rear passenger compartment cover. If you can, post a picture of the code sheet.

    Calling on Vette experts!!

    It's possible the car was originally ordered by a GM exec. Those guys could get just about anything they wanted.

    Before trying that I'd think about moving to southern Florida where I wouldn't need a heater. :D

    Help! Trying to find a long lost vette of my dads..anybody have a VIN check?

    The heater core in a 94 is pretty much the same as in all C4s. The heater core came down the assembly line and the rest of the car was built around it. :D

    Question: whats the normal temp range for my 1988 vette

    Your temps are just fine. There are probably more threads on engine temp then any other topic. I think GM made a mistake by putting in the digital coolant readout. Owners who grew up with cars that ran hot at 210* get nervous when they see the temp creep up over 220 (myself included), even...

    Discontinued parts

    I think it is a great idea. As for the OP's commet that discontinuing safety or emissions parts should be illegal, I understand that seat belts for early C4s are no longer available from GM, (and hard to find from the repro mfgrs) even though there is still a valid recall on them. :W

    time to push the idiot button

    The optispark is the distributor in the LT1 and LT4 engines. It provides very accurate timing, but it sits on the front of the engine on the timing chain cover, right below the water pump. Unfortunately, despite its location, it is not waterproof. A leaking waterpump or an overzealous engine...

    Even if you don't want to do the work yourself the FSM is good to have so you can lend it to your mechanic.

    looking to buy a c4, would like your opinion and knowledge

    If you like to spend time working around your car (or even just washing it) you'll soon learn to hate the PKE. :D Now the next thing you need is the FSM from Helms.

    looking to buy a c4, would like your opinion and knowledge

    The opti in the 95 and 96 model was actively vented, the earlier models were not. Moisture build up can kill the opti, but as long as you don't do anything stupid, such as power wash your engine, you shouldn't have any problems. Most optis die when the water pump fails and dumps coolant on the...

    AIM/shop manual

    There is no AIM for the C4. You'll need the Helms manual.
