    AC blowing cold but only into footwell

    Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. Recently the AC in my 96 LT4 has refused to blow thru the dash vents (regardless of setting on the electronic a/c controls) but seems to blow great (cold and pretty strong) into both the driver's footwell, as well as through the defogger vents...

    Bubbles in tranny fluid on dipstick! What gives?

    I pulled the automatic tranny fluid blade out of my 95 LT-1 today to check the fluid. Car's got 36k miles and seems to shift just fine. Changed out the transmission fluid about 6 months ago; the fluid level, color and cleanliness all appear to be good at present. My concern is lots of very...

    Re-torquing the wheels on my 95 LT-1

    Friends- Any idea where I can find an adapter that will allow me to use my new torque wrench (with 1/2" nib) in conjunction with the lug-nut sockets that came w/ the car (these appear to have solid 3/4" hex heads, intended to be used in conjunction with the wrench that came with the car...

    Power Control Module by JET... is it worth it?

    Jones Electric Technologies makes a PCM for 94-96's that Corvette Central sells for $229 (just received the C/C catalog today). It plugs into the car's computer, and the stock wiring harness simply plugs right into the JET PCM. It's advertised to mod the ignition curve and recalibrate air/fuel...

    3:07 to 3:55... is it worth it?

    Can any of you guys who have lowered your gear ratio from 3:07 weigh in with a recommendation (i.e. is it worth it?) I noticed today that Corvette Central has rebuilt Dana 36 's for $1150. (either 3:55 or 3:73) and I'm tempted. Thanks- Jeff

    "legroom"

    I've owned this wonderful vehicle for about 3 wks now. On the cruise home tonight a random thought passed through the windmills of my mind. I drive with the power seat positioned absolutely as far aft as it will go. I'm 5'8. Just out of curiosity, how does someone who's tall (arbitrarily: 6'2...

    C4's and theft

    Was wondering if anyone has had, or heard about, any experience relating to attempted theft of their C4. My recently-acquired '95 has the resistor in the key feature (first car I've ever owned that's so equipped) and of course the factory alarm. Do any of you feel the need for (or have you...

    Opinions wanted re: BackOff™ 3rd brake light flasher module

    Opinions wanted re: BackOff (TM) 3rd brake light flasher module Hello all- It's a safety device sold by Eckler's for $45... wondering what the concensus is regarding its worth. It is a flasher module, about the size of a business card, that "installs in seconds" and causes the 3rd brake...

    Observation re: Parking brake

    An interesting parking brake -related experience you might find noteworthy. I've been driving my 1995 LT-1 for about 3 wks now and loving every minute of it. Only 32,600 miles when I bought it and everything worked great with the exception of the parking brake, which would refuse to catch...

    Inexpensive under-hood light cutoff?

    Happy new year everybody. Anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive cutoff for the underhood lamps? MADVet has a hood lamp switch for $40. + s/h but if a cheaper working fix is available, I'd prefer to go that route. Thanks.

    Broken nipple... cause for concern?

    Hello friends, a question for you. Just purchased my first Corvette this past week, a 95 LT1 with only 32,600 miles. I removed the radiator cap today, and in doing so noted that the metal nipple (that the coolant recovery tank hose connects to) appears to have broken off at its base (at some...
