Hi,
I am a Firebird/camaro guy, but I think I can direct you to few things that you can check out.
I've came across this problem before, be it my car, or another membera car here in CO.
One of the problems was the ignition module which is, if I am not mistaken, inside the distributor cap...
Well. I'd rather have a vette with better oil preassure.
I am going to throughly look at that 84 with 81K tommorow.
So, if you guys want to give me some pointers about what I should look on in a vette???
What things usually go wrong, and what is the usual oil preassure. :)
Sorry, I forgot to mention that once I get on the gas the preassure gets to about 65 plus.
Is that good???
I've had countless chevy's and have heard about low oil preassures at idle, and how OK they are.
I've noticed that the car idled a bit lower at around 550RPM, maybe thats why the low...
Well, the corvette is gold and the guy is asking 5500 for it. Its in pristine condition, the shifts are firm and the oil was always cooler than the temperature. the temp was 205 and the oil was 195. He told me that he drove the car with that low of a preassure for three years now. Albeit, he...
Hi, I was checking out 85 L98 vette and the oil preassure was weird. Two previous owners were both over 50 and the current owner claims that the motor has been re-built by the previous owner.
The preassure guage drops down to 18PSI at idle (albeit check engine light was on). However, once you...
Well, I ran into more problems today.
My rear end in the TA dook a dump.
I have to replace it by thursday for the kid thats buying it. I got everything done ready for emissions, replaced the flywheel etc. And as soon as I took it home bang.. THe rear end took a dive.
So I am not going to...
Yea, I am not concerned about the corssfire injection. I have a TBI Firebird thats pushing 230hp to the wheels (not bad for a 305 eh?) Anyways, TBI's work the same way that the TBI's do on the crossfire injection. So, I know how to set minimum air, and clean IAC etc. I am by no means scared to...
Thanks.
I am glad to be here, and I am happy to be around corvette enthusiasts.
geekinavette you got a pm my friend.
Please, anyone else that can chime in let me know what you think.
Hi, I am buying my first corvette and I am looking at C4's. Mainly 84's and one 85.
There are three good ones around here in denver.
First there is one with 170K miles on it, but has a re-built engine and tranny which happened around 150K. It has all the bushing and suspesion stuff replaced. It...
