    FS: 1996 CLUSTER

    $100 plus shipping. I removed it to install a LT4 cluster with the 8k tach. This LT1 cluster works perfectly. Jake

    Help! cruise control doesn't work

    The check valve on my 96 was brittle and broke as soon as I touched it. I found a replacement at AutoZone, under $5. You can test the resistance of the servor connection pins with an inexpensive digital meter. I forgot the exact readings each pin should have, but do a search here and on the...

    LTPWS lites up but not stored

    When mine began acting up I checked the cost and availability of replacements and decided to remove the sensors and the dash bulb. I was having new wheels installed, so I just told the installer to leave off the LTPWS. Jake

    Will it work in my car???

    Using a 400 block in a L98 is a common swap; I ran one in my 86. The 400 block has the provision for the knock sensor, just remove the plug. You'll need a 400 starter and a smaller diameter damper, since a 8" damper won't clear the rack and pinion. If your 350 engine has a roller block...

    Sys, and battery drain, FX3 questions

    You could also try disconnecting ALL the CD changer wires to see if that cures the SYS light. Jake

    Dashboard Lighting problem 84 Vette

    From memory, there's a tiny pin/clip that holds the knob on. Look closely and you'll see little opening in the knob. On my 86 I just inserted the tip of a tiny, thin blade screwdriver in the opening while pulling on the knob. Anything like that'll work. Jake

    LT4 LT4: Plug Wire #8 cyl

    Somone already recommended that and posted some pics. I seconded the motion. Been there; done that. Jake

    EGR Solenoid 91 / injectors

    I'd go with the stock injectors. Going with different size injectors calls for re-programming. I bought a new EGR solenoid from GMPARTSDIRECT for my 96. Jake

    Sys, and battery drain, FX3 questions

    As far as the SYS light, most guys report that when an aftermarket radio is installed, two resistors need to be installed into the radio power wires to create the resistance the computer is looking for. Could be the same with your changer installation. Maybe some who's had your specific...

    Starting problem.

    While you're at it check the plastic, one-way check valve on the psngr side of the intake - about midway. It has a rubber 90 degree fitting going to the intake and two fittings/hoses at the opposite end. Last week when checking out the new 96 I just bought I found mine was brittle - from...

    Two questions.

    I bought my son a 96 coupe as a present for being accepted into West Point. Before I delivered it to him, I took the car to a local quick change Pennzoil shop to have the oil, oil filter and fuel filter changed. I drove the car over a pit opening and the worker did all the work, including...

    LT4 LT4 Collector Edition

    What's the mileage? How's the paint, seats? If they're "rough" too, you have to ask yourself "How well the was engine maintained?" Run the VIN on CarFax. Don't buy a "pig in a poke". Jake

    0-30

    With the "0" rating, the only downside I can see is the oil pressure may be low when oil is fully warmed up, engine in gear at idle. Most move in the opposite direction as their engine packs on the mileage, going to 10w30 to keep the hot, idle, in gear oil pressure up. You'll know if you...

    GM/Dealership vs. Normal Parts Stores??

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    When my 86 wouldn't start it turned out to be the ignition module under the distributor cap. AutoZone can check it for you for free. Another time it was my coil which I dicovered by finding dark brown coloration right near where the wires exit the coil. Could be a bad rotor too. Look for a...

    Basic 95 convertible...worth it?

    Just as a point of reference, I just bought a 96 coupe for $11.5K. Dual power seats, Delco Gold w/cassette/CD, absolutely everything works, even the PKE. Suspension is very tight; has 86k mileage. Jake

    Help! 93' LT1 Valve Covers

    I had to do the exact same thing with those covers. Jake

    87 neutral safety switch

    There just a few screws (something like 4 or 5) to remove and the cover lifts right off. One under the forward ashtray recess and the reset are accessed by lifting the console lid. Pop the shifter button off using a thin screw-driver and there's a 'c' clip that has to be removed. There's a...

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    From all I've read there's no such circuit on the Vette. The only oil pressure sensor that effects fuel is the secondary sensor that will energize the fuel pump once it sees at least 4 psi of oil pressure. It acts as a sort of back up to the fuel pump relay. Also, on my 96, a few months ago...
