Yes you would need new wires as the stock Bose wires are to small. It's not that hard, Just pull the rocker speaker enclosures and run the wires from there to the back. Do you have the C68 climate control A/C? The resistors are .5 ohms. I bought them from Radio shack. They wire into the...

With ll you did, I can see it taking longer. I replaced the speakers and re- wired , but I was able to use the stock Bose enclosures. There had been an aftermarket radio in before so I didn't have to do any cutting. The by pass harness was easy as was the antenna extension

I bought a Kenwood at Online Stereo that has the AUX port for an Ipod or mp3 player. It was less than $200.00. You will need the install kit , the amp bypass harness and the antenna extention. You can find good speakers pretty reasonable on line, you will need to replace the Bose stuff. You...

Check for a vacumn leak . I believe there is a tree located on the manifold that can cause a problem. If that isn't it the fun begins!!!

by the way it took 4 days for me to figure out what it was so dont feel to bad about the time element.

Glad you got it working and what seems to be a reasonable cost. My problem with my 90 was the green wire from the ECM that fed the low pressure switch was cut. repaired wire, clutch came on.

vetteoz, OK, Thats why I made sure everyone knew that my working knowledge was for my 90.

Boom, The path should be from the control head to the a/c heat programmer controller through the relay to the ECM to the loe pressure switch to the compressor. PM me your phone number and maybe I can help if the 87 and 90 systems are the same.

the C-68 option sends a data signal from the control unit through the radio HU. the resistors go into the wiring harness behind the HU not at the Radio Rec box( on the 90). It is part of the factory harness.

I installed the resistors on my 90 and if I remember it had more to do with the C68 climate control than the radio. It seems there is a data stream that it looks for and if the wire is cut it triggers the sys light.

Boom, The relays are cheap, but you can test the one you have by checking the voltage one one wire then turning on the A/C and see if the voltage transfers to the other big wire. On the 90 the tan wire is the one you ground for the Compressor(I think)

the relay on my 90 is what sends the signal to the ECM that there is a request fro A/C.

If it has ester oil it is compatible with all freons. The original R12 used mineral oil and the new 134 uses the pag type. Don't mix them.

Hi Glenn, I think I used petro jelly.

I forgot the 1973 Corvette roadster

The new 79 I had was the last year for Laquer, and was painted in St. louis ,and as bad as the paint job was I believe they used the same equipment then that they used in 1953. I finally convinced GM to repaint the entire car. When they moved to Bowling Green in 1980 I believe that was the...

you can order the part from GM its about $18.00 retail, I paid $14.00

the wax I was refering to is billed as a scratch filler. They have most of the standard colors.

Hi Glenn, I use the Ice (clear liquid) on the GTX, I haven't tried on the Vette as I will repaint this fall. It is good stuff. Bob
