    1995 Clutch Issues

    My 90 clutch acted the same way. After installing the new clutch your pedal will have a diff travel. Seems mine had what felt like free play in the old clutches. Some of the problem with the early dual mass flywheels was the seal wasn't protected,got damaged, and lube from inside leaked out.The...

    What makes you choose the Corvette as your car of choice.

    I guess I didn't fully understand what you were after when you asked why we have a corvette. The Route 66 program was what got me interested. The fact that it was a Chevy was a big factor, Chevys were always solid cars and fairly easy to work on.I had a ride in a few C3s and really got hooked on...

    Overheating/Fog lamps won't turn on

    The ECM turn on the fans by completing the ground to the relays. Think it is a green wire. You can test if the fans and relays work by grounding those wires. If you don't have a 90 service manual I could look it up for you. I actually connected a double pole double throw switch from my fan...

    Help! failed smog AGAIN

    Reading some of this thread I noticed you added alcohol to the gas. I think you do this to reduce HC ? which makes sence. It also was stated that it burns hotter. I am not so sure that this is true when you put in a high percentage. I have always though alcohol burn cooler. Some one clear my...

    Making turns

    When you do that I just might be in your blind spot.The newer cars have huge blind spots. Make the turn in the lane you belong in , then signal before you move over.I can't count the number of times I have had to dodge the jerks that don't use their lane. Glenn :w

    Question: Radiator Stop Leak??

    I have used the stop leak that GM sells in older cars as a bandage to get a few more miles out of them. They are a thick wafer shape just small enough to drop in the radiator. I have never noticed any problems with heater cores or any of the cooling system. I wouldn't use a stop leak in...

    Anyone replaced steel brake lines in late C4 with ABS?

    Most brake lines are double flare. This takes a special insert to get it started , actually folds it in first. Then you take the normal tool and finish the job. There is also another flare used ,which I can't remember the name of,that is hard to discribe but is similar to the double flare. If...

    Question: Replacing rear main seal

    The reason for the two piece seal was the flywheel mount flanges were larger diameter than the seal surface diameter. The two piece seals can have a tendency to seep at the joining surface. The rope seals used to be real interesting , having to trim them to length. If I remember correctly they...

    Question: Replacing rear main seal

    About getting the pan off I don't know. Replacing the seal is no real problem we used to replace two piece rear seals quite often without removing transmission or motor. Simply find something softer than the crank or block that fits in seal cavity and drive it out some than get grab it with a...

    Seeking advise/opinion

    Something I have found really helps keep cooling systems clean is to use distilled water. I have a small water distiller we use for our potable water so I keep a good supply on had. With the distilled water you get no deposits from hard water. I have been doing this for quite a number of yrs now...
