I have found my gauge unreliable to be absolutely sure when it runs out. It takes a linear path to reserve and then after about using a half gallon it goes back to reading above reserve. (sender has a bad spot on it) If I forget that I am deep into reserve and continue driving, I do this...

Over the years i have heard terrific things about it on both Mercedes and Ferrari lists. Do a search on AltaVista and you will be able to read those and many other posts. I have seen some before and after pictures some where by amateurs and they were impressive.

Try to find an Independant "transmission only" repair shop where you actually talk to the owner. Another option is a GM Goodwrench re-man at the dealer. Be sure the dealer has one or more good Vette techs.

Word of mouth is the best way to find a good shop.

I do know that mine ('88 with 20 gal tank) has an air pocket at the top of the tank to allow for expansion when fuel gets hot. The sceniro that's dangerous is just after you filled it and parked it on a hot day. That's why GM (all others) have done this The depth of the intlet into the tank...

I have run out a few times on my '88 coupe. I can never get more than 18.5 gallons in it.

Type "F" was used exclusively for Fords. It actually has very fine ground egg shells. It makes for a firmer shift.

As I get older I am finding I need to increase the volume more. When my passenger blocks their ears I figure its just on my side that the volume is low.;) ;) Also as my tires accumulate miles the growl beings to appear. I have been using that as my latest excuse. Even at home my TV doesn't go...

it is very common for the sending unit to go out of range. sometimes a simple test is to look at the oil pressure while the engine is not running and the key is on. you should have 0 pressure. any reading above that suggests a bad sender.

when it comes to tires, there are Michelin and there are tires. My 275/40x17 XGT Pilots have approx 54k on them and will hit 60K easy

I feel the C4 is the biggest bang for the buck. Its technology is far advanced from the C3 and that gap is not as wide when comparing it to a C5. Very durable reliable cars when properly maintained. Of course beating on any car will cause more failures overall, but the C4 stands up as well as...

how can all those clusters on ebay have such low mileage.:confused I should buy one and then put my 217,000 mile cluster up for auction. I am taking bets I would see it resold on ebay with under 25,000 miles.:dance

johnny is this the website for autometerproducts? i have http://www.autometer.com/

I find I get best mileage heading east just east of the continental divide. Going down hill and prevailing westerly wind behind me. heading from Pacific to continental divide is not as good, needless to say heading west to divide is not good. Anywhere in ND,SD,Nb,Ks,Ok heading east is best...

I average 28 on a long distance interstate trip. cool weather, no a/c on and no windows open. completely stock automatic with standard axle Have to fill up every 450 miles or so. if you realy want to experience fuel mileage, my 2000 VW diesel gets 52mpg in the same scenario. i go 775 - 800...

I have found that the fit is often better with OEM parts. The performance is spot on too.. No bag with different adapters for different applications. Often times the OEM part costs the same or even less.

I can only give you my experience with the 17" wheels on my '88. I barely could get 30k out of the OEM tires, noisy after 20k. Then I bought a set of Toyo brand and got 40k. They got noisy at 25k but I toughed it out. I bought a set of Michelin last time around. I currently have 52k on them...

Hi Keith, ironicaly I was at a used car dealer this week that specializes in used Vettes. He was offering me big money for the car on a trade to a '91 conv. until he saw the odometer.(I was tire kicking) Then I jokingly told him I have an instrument panel that the odometer reads 89k miles on...

Barry, how is the illumination during the day, particularly in the sunshine? Thanks

I didn't think GM made a convertible in'84 Is this a custom one and do you have any pics?
