A friend's 55 T-Bird with the 292/Fordomatic is backfiring into the exhaust pipe. It sounds like loud popcorn popping on the left side only. The top end has been freshened recently, compression averages 130 with none lower than 120. The carb has been rebuilt and an electronic module replaced...

:duh I used this one because I couldn't find "embarrassed". I missed a 1-2 shift yesterday and now the transmission doesn't shift the same. All the gears but 2nd are fine, and there are no leaks or unusual noises. When going into second, either up or down, it's harder to engage and sometimes...

I finally installed the Z06 shifter in my C5. :W OMG!!! It didn't turn my humble C5 into a screaming Z06!!! [Irony off] What it did do is shorten the shift throw and make the shifts smoother. Even my wife noticed that I was making smoother shifts. I'm not sure the shifter itself is the...

I think I have the potential for a problem. When I got my '04 I asked my local dealer to run the VIN to check for recall status. The parts lady said the column recall had been performed. The problem is that my column locks. I hear the motor when I turn off the car and the column definitely...

I received my C6 Z06 shifter yesterday (three days before the initial notification indicated) and I was surprised to see the entire assembly. I guess I expected a 'top-only' part like an aftermarket unit. I read the two shifter replacement how-to posts. They're very helpful in removing the...

:J:J:J:J:J Pulled the trigger today. We bought a 2004 Millennium Yellow 6-speed convertible. It had 22,500 miles when we test drove it. It's VERY clean in and out. I haven't decoded the RPO codes yet, but it does have 1SB, so it has everything I was after. Tomorrow I'll go over it head to toe...

As I pursue my search for a C5 Vert, I'm annoyed that so many ads don't list all of the option on the car. I know what comes standard, I want to know what THAT car has. Off :soapbox Now to my question. Can you tell from a picture if a car has HUD or not? I see the location on many of the...

I'm not a Corvette Owner yet, which is why I joined a forum and the variety of content is why I joined this one. I'm in the market for a C5 Convertible and, after reading the FAQs and searching for information, I'll be asking a lot of questions that may seem simple or obvious to current owners...
