    Throw out bearing question

    :upthumbsWhen I bought my 84, the previous owner indicated that it had had a new clutch a few years and about 5k miles ago. I have a unique sort of squeeking noise that is like the sound from the brakes when the wear indicator toucheds the rotor. It does this when I am in gear and goes totally...

    Rear Jacking Point

    :confused I am changing the intake manifold gaskets on my 84 and am going to flush and refill the coolant, replace the theromstat etc. and want to put it on jack stands to get good clearance. I bought a shop manual and looked to see where the jacking points are and it shows the four service...

    Intake Manifold Gasket

    I really like my 84... but it is sure testing me. The todo list is longer than the one you get from most wives! In adition to the other stuff going on with my car, I have had a PIA coolant leak, that is not too bad and seems to come and go. It is on the passenger side and it puddles on the...

    Still learning 84 questions

    1) As a Corvette newb, I have a question regarding my 84. When I was replacing the rear side marker bulb, it appears that at least the rear section of the frame that i could see was aluminum -is the frame aluminum -or just the portion behind the rear suspension? 2) I have bid on a couple of shop...

    Clutch Question

    The 84 I just bought had the clutch replaced some time ago, but only about 5,000 mile. It feels great, but there is a faint sqeeking with the clutch out, that goes away when the cluch is pushed in or even with just a little pressure -this is pretty faint and almost sounds like the wear...

    1984 AC Question

    ;helpWhat is the best way to evalute the AC system on an 84. This is an 80,000 mile car, that I have owned for about 2 weeks. Everything looks to be physically intact, but no cool air -so I assume that it needs charging. I have never had a car converted to run the new coolants -but it has been...

    84 Idle Question

    My 84 is a 4speed standard and I have only been driving my car for a couple of days, but at times it seems to still fast idle after driving for a while...1200- 1400rpm ... at that time it also seems to be running too cool 140f -170f after 8-10 miles. When is gets up to about 200f, the idle...

    84 More Questions

    I have been going through everything and have a couple more interior questions about my 84 and just a reminder, this is my first corvette so I may be asking stupid questions; 1) When I turned on the lights last night, the knob came off and I'm trying to figure out if it is broken or if I just...

    Paint Color Question

    The 84 that I just bought is red, but I can tell that it was repainted and I don't think that it was red originally. The RPO listed here indicates that red is WA8552 and my car indicates that the paint # is WA-8551 clearcoat/ basecoat -what is this color? There is also a 33L and 33U. Lastly 741...

    New Guy

    I just bought a Corvette and it looks as though I have found the right site to help me get things fixed up! My car is an 84, 4 speed, red exterior, carmine interior, Z51 equiped and after looking through the RPO numbers, it is like most of them it is pretty loaded. There are still quite a few...
