It's an L48. I'm sure it's in the shop manual, I'm just trying to troubleshoot this problem from 400 miles away. Any help on how many degrees for stock advance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. What exactly does the stock sticker say? Unfortunately it's not intact right now. What's the stock advance on this Corvette? 6? 7? 8 degrees? Thanks in advance.

I have a '78 SA Corvette, and I'm trying to time the engine right now. I'm supposed to disconnect the vacuum advance, right? And then set the idle to 700 RPM? Or the other way around? The revolutions drop significantly after the vacuum advance is disconnected, and I'm just looking to clarify...

I'm not too sure what's going on. I got off the line hard and then I shifted into 2nd gear and instead of having the power into acceleration of the car, it seemed like the clutch just slipped. Revs shot up and I felt no return through accel. Then almost immediately after I got the strong...

That's how it should be. Very very clean. What do you use to keep the engine bay grime-free?

Gorgeous LT4. Do you have any pics of the engine bay?

Dumb question here, and I think I know the answer but I just want to make sure. My '96 has the Boss sound system with the CD player. I'm guessing this won't play .mp3 files (on a cd) correct?

Wow. Why is it that I'm over a second slow??? What can I be doing wrong? That is rediculous. Embarrassing. I'm not doing my Corvette justice. HELP!!!!!!!!4

Another quick thing... is the R/T already subtracted from the E/T? Or is the 1/4 time include the reaction time?? If it's not included then I had a terrible terrible run

Well, I thought I posted this in the C4 section. Can I get an admin to move it?? Sorry

1996 CE LT4 6 speed Stock as a rock. First time ever drag racing. Here's my time slip: R/T ... .667 60' ... 2.115 330 ... 6.043 1/8 ... 9.177 MPH ... 81.34 1000 ... 11.805 1/4 .... 14.020 MPH ... 104.10 I'm not going to claim to be a racer. This was my first time. But from my...

I think I put this in the wrong part. I'm sorry. This isn't my '96 Corvette. This is my '94 Mercury Villager (automatic transmission). But please, any help would be much appreciated.

This just started happening today. I first thought that it was a problem with the transmission slipping, because it felt like it would slip then regain and keep doing that. But then I put the car in neutral and kept the engine at about 2500 RPM. Sure enough, after a few seconds it would hop...

I'm looking to get more sound out of less work (changing fewer pipes). So I figured I'd start with just changing out the mufflers and see how I like that sound. What are the loudest, free-est flowing mufflers out there right now? What will give me the most sound? I would go with muffler...

I'm looking for a car cover for my '96. An outside cover to protect UV, but I don't want it to hold in the moisture (my last one did that real bad). What do you suggest?

I'm looking for a procedure to remove the power steering valve (1978 L48) from the relay and tie rod assembly. I have already removed the nut and the clamp screw from the valve. Question, does the pitman arm have to be removed from the steering box? Or, should I disassemble the tie rods to...

I'm not saying that I'm expecting no slip on my clutch, but I don't think I really know what a clutch that is worn out feels like when you drive on it. Ideas??

Here's the issue. Around town and at lower speeds/RPMs, the temperature is fine. Around 185, Tstat is opening and all is well. But when I get on the highway with higher speeds and engine revolutions, the temperature drastically increases to 220ish degrees. The fan is working, the water pump...

Lucky for me, I'll have access to a suspension lift, so I'll be able to walk under the car. How were the exhaust manifolds coming off? Was it reasonable to get at those bolts? The driver's side bolts from exhaust manifolds -> heads looked like they were quite hidden.
