Hey Guys, It has been a while since I was on the site. I have been a C-3 owner and a C-5 owner for a number of years now but last weekend I added a C-4 to the stable. It is a '93, 40th anniversary, 6-speed Ruby Red Coupe with 43M miles. I need your input on a couple of issues. The courtesy...

You might want to check the front end alignment. If your front wheels are too straight and don't have the correct toe-in it will make your steering very sensitive and darty.

Sorry, Synthetic/Silicone had my terms confused. Thanks for all your responses and helping me clear that up.

Is there a way to tell whether the brake fluid currently in my system is DOT-3/4 or synthetic? I understand it is not a good idea to mix the two. As always thanks for the good advice I always get and read on the forum.

Hey guys, I have not had a post in a while but I need some advice concerning the driver side mirror on my 2001. The car has the memory package and my wife and I each have our settings. Problem is each time we unlock the car, the driver mirror repositions itself. It will move is some direction...

I can't say about the master cylinder, but I just installed 4 of their rebuilt calipers on my 73 and they have worked fine so far with no problems or leaks.

Once again, check your Driver Information Center on the dash. this is the window at the bottom of the instrument panel between the speedometer and Tachometer where your mileage appears or what ever you choose to view there. A common code and one that put me walking was the column lock. This...

I have had that problem with my 01 a couple of times in the past and unfortunately, one of those times I was not in my garage. First, are any messages/codes coming up in the DIC. In my experiences this was caused by codes being thrown and what is happening is the computer is shutting off the...

Double stick tape works great. I have had the same problem with both visors on my 01. You will have to use the thick spongy stuff and use two layers to get it thick enough to contact the center of the visor. Apply to the back side of the mirrow and then press firmly into the visor. I used...

NADA Considerations Ten to fifteen thousand miles a year is considered average mileage and carries no add-on to value and no deduction in value. Regardless of a cars age if total miles calculates to less than ten thousand per year then there is an add-on for low miles, the lower the mileage...

Thanks guys for the pointers. I'll get started this weekend.

Hey Guys, What is the best way to remove adhesive residue from my wheels left by "stick-on" wheel weights. My GM dealer does a great job of balancing my tires but does not expend any effort removing the old adhesive and foam residue. The wheels on my C-5 are magnesium so they have a painted...

Hey Man, Sorry to be sol long in getting back to you. I have not been on the site in a while. i would be interested in hearing about your distributor. do you know if it is off a L-48 or L-82? E-mail me at dmason@firststateonline.com with some info and what you want for the unit. Thanks, Don

Thanks guys for the valuable info. I'll be looking for a rebuild service.

Thanks John for the tip. Looks like this is not gonig to be the "cake walk" I was hoping for. I am probably going to have to hire this one out. Thanks again for the reply.

Hey Guys, I am trying to rebuild a distributor for my 73 L-82. It is a correct tach drive unit. I purchased some rebuild parts including the bushings for the main shaft which are pretty worn, especially the bottom. I also got a bushing installation tool that was suggested in the catalog. No...

I need an intake manifold for my 1973 L-82. GM part number is 3997771 and I need a casting date of January or early February 1973. Engine assembly date is 2/26//73.

Intake manifold for 73 L-82 I am looking for an intake for my 73 L-82. GM part number is 3997771 and I need a casting date of January or early February 1973. Do you think you have anything like this. Thanks in advance for looking.

Brake Dust I own a C-5 and was discouraged by the same problem. Your Grand Sport has a lot more friction surface than mine so I am sure you create a lot of dust in a short time. I installed a set of Hawk street pads on all 4 wheels. Less dust, lighter in color, quiet, kind to your rotors...
