    Post-tuneup issue

    Hi all, Since I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, I've got a slight jerk/stutter around the 1800-2100 rpm mark while maintaining a steady speed/rpm. Not sure if this qualifies as a 'miss' or not. I replaced the new Delco plugs today with no-gap Bosch Platinum 2's, but the problem still...

    More/Different RPO Info

    Hey all, In my obsessive researching of RPO codes as I evaluate an 87 Vette, I came across a pretty official seeming list of GM RPO codes. I'm still not sure if the seats in the vette I'm looking at are original, but this list proved really helpful in tracking ALL the rpo's down, even some that...

    WTB : 85-89 Auto Vette in BC/Washington

    Hey all, Looking for an automatic 85-89 C4, not a convertible. Not too picky on mileage, but would much prefer < 125K As close to stock as possible, not interested in modifications, as I would like to fix/restore towards a collector's insurance once it's 25 years old. Thanks! Andrew
