Hey Guys, LocTite should work okay. I checked my 89. The tab that is glued to the windshield glass is metal (I think stainless steel). The part of the mirror assembly that slides over that tab with the the set screw is metal too (I think aluminum, painted black). The screw is metal. I would go...

I will third that advice! Radar :)

I did my walls in pegboard. That allows me to hang tools, gardening things, etc. all over and keeps things nicely organized. Radar :)

Thanks for all of the info! Yep, those loans are the next to tackle. Radar :beer

Boy, really sounds like you hit all of the bases. I still would look for air binding. Can you tell if there is coolant flow into the radiator when the engine is hot? That would tell you if the pump has a broken impeller, would it not? Sure sounds like a gross lack of water flow or air binding...

Did you check the pump motor rotation direction? With all of that rewiring work, you might of reversed the polarity on the pump motor. A DC motor will run in reverse if the terminals are backward. It's a long shot but worth checking. Anyway, a centrifugal pump running backward will pump water...

Thanks Wayne88, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My son graduated from college this past weekend. I was pretty busy with that and did not get online at all. Yes, it is the C4 logo that I want to replace. I was afraid that this logo piece was disconninued. I will have to try the...

Hello CAC! I have a problem I hope someone can help me solve. I have a 1989 convertible, mostly stock. I like to keep the engine compartment detailed. On the drivers side valve cover, I have that Corvette logo that is starting to look warn. Some of the finish is coming off, probably from a...

Make sure you give it time to cure. I saw a post somewhere on this site that gave the instructions. Try a search. Regards, Radar :D

Pro-Charger used to make a great supercharger kit. I have a brochure that is about 3 years old. I bet they still make the kit. I think it was worth about 100 HP. Radar :beer

It peaked my interest but the price seems steep. Radar :)

But if the aluminum intake manifold expands at a greater rate than the steel bolt, I would think working with hot aluminum would help, not hurt. The aluminum hole would be bigger making it easier to brake the bolt free. Radar :confused

I totally agree with tnovot! Shop around for something in better shape, there are many to choose from in C4's. $7,900 will buy something reasonaably nice. Radar

Does anyone know if you can pressure wash or hose down an L98? Radar :confused

WOW..........Hey THANKS so much! That is really good information! I sure hope I can help you guys some time with information. Radar :v :Twist :beer

I was just graced with a beautiful granddaughter last September, so I guess that makes me a Grand Father! So now I have a mission to get her started in the Corvette lifestyle as soon as possible. Does anyone know of a company that makes a Corvette replica peddle car, preferrably a C4? But any...

I have had that happen many times. The bottom distributor gear and the cam has helical ground teeth. The slight rotation is the gear "walking" out of the mesh. When you reinstall the distriutor, just twist the shaft a few degrees past where you want it, "feel" the teeth into the cam gear and...

Hey Mad-Mic, Nice to see that the old L-98 with the trusty auto and 2:59's can run some serious time and speed! I have an 89 vert with the same gears, stall speed, and trans. Motors mostly stock except for a 160 deg F stat and a chip. I don't think my ride is anywhere near as fast as yours but...

Boy am I glad to read this post. I too have an 89 convertible with the stock rear axle ratio of 2:59 and AT. I run about 1700 rpm at 70 MPH so I bet the resonance would be terrible! I wonder if any of the other exhaust systems are any better? I was thinking of getting a stainless steel cat-back...

I agree with RJSROCKET. I store my 89 convertible from mid November until mid April every year. I never run it over that time. I have about 48,000 miles and no leaks. I run Mobil 1. I too would check the PCV valve. I wonder if the engine was ever overheated or maybe was apart and that is...
