I am sorry, but you lost me on the shifting cable. Please enlighten this old geezer. Brain dump.

Thanks to all. Well we got it running . There were some mechanical problems with the engine. Replaced the starter with a high-torque one , redid the wiring. somewhat and the positive battery cable. It looked fine but had a slight bulge in it. When I cut it open- all corrosion. It will be a...

Thanks for the advice Norty. Guess I will be happy with her as she is. Really have no problems with the lighting. Just read the threads about it and was curious. Again appreciate it.

HID lighting Question I have a question about installing HID fog lamps. Does the increased intensity work for you in sincere "fog"conditions? I was curious about too much reflection. Also if you replace your high beams with HID, does this overtax the standard electrical system at all? I...

I have installed the Callaway Honker CAI and the Corsa Sport Exhaust system. Upgraded the front and rear floor mats to Lloyd along with putting a soft leather cover on my center console. Also installed the CAGS mod and had the windows tinted. I do have a question about installing the HID...

Thanks to all . Found out had some broken starter bolts, wiring harness problems and some other problems. I am still assisting in returning the "Vette" to a steady running state. (also had a weak solenoid spring). Will keep you posted.

Some good stuff. I will check out the cables and wiring. And maybe install a high torque starter if necessary. I remember the Heat Soak problems I had in my 66 Nova. 327/365. Time made me forget all about it. Thanks!!

I THINK that the replacement had a new solenoid. I will have to check as I personally did not do it. But I am 99% sure it was both. I have heard the garage is reputable but who knows anymore.

Trying to solve a problem on a 1971 C3 350 CI, HP unknown (probably 270/330, automatic tranny. It will start, run fine then switch it off and try to restart it and nothing but a thunk. (no crank). Wait awhile then try it and it usually starts. Have had the starter replaced as I thought the...

Got the Corsa Sport Systems w/o the X pipe and I love them over the stock exhausts. They do gurgle somewhat when you let off, but sound great when you jump on it. No drone at. Only wish I could have got the deal you did. I was not aware that installing the X pipe vs the stock H pipe would...

Thanks for the facts and figures. I was not aware of the uniqueness of our color option. I was equally surprized that there were not more 83U Vettes on the road.

The interior is cashmere. Ran a Shelby 500 about 3 miles. It was give in the beginning, but caught up in 3rd and then we blew it off. I want to believe I would have took'em but what the hey. Did get tromped by some type of BMW though.

Congrats on your choice of colors on that original dream car. At the time I purchased my coupe I had long wanted the vert as you got but financially could not. Enjoy the Z-51's flat cornering, it's great!

WOW! A lot of information that I was always wondering about. This is a darn good commentary. Thanks for the post.

Again, Mac, you have absolutely hit the nail on the head!!! GREED at all levels.

Well you got me. I was under the impression that improving the breathability of the engine started in the low RPM range affecting both hp and torque to a small degree depending on the modification. I will have to do some calling around and see what RPM range I have actually had an effect on...

I have used Ice paste since day one and it gleams. As someone else said , it makes the car seem a shade deeper. Here in WA it last me all winter. I do not drive the baby much below 35 degrees though. On my wife's 06 Mustang I use the liquid Ice and it is great. At times it seems to take...

A least I am not the only one. As you said "not nearly as fun though".

You make me wonder if I didn't inhibit my gas mileage somewhat by installing a Corsa Sport exhausts system and a Callaway cold air induction system. My baby is equipped with the MN6 option (3:42 axle & GU6 shorrt throw tranny) and the GY Eagle F-1 Supercar tires.

Again thanks Norty. I won't lug the engine any to cause pre-detonation. With all this info I doubt I will even run the lower octanes. Why chance it and I believe my owners manual even says use 92 octane or better for my 08. I was not aware that the C5 was built to run on 87 as the norm.
