I've been pleased with California Car Covers.

Sadly, the only changes since at least the '80s is the calendar. This is not unique to GM as I experienced the same with a new [venerable] Subaru Outback we bought new, then sold back under the lemon law. Once, contact with GM's Zone office would help. I've had 9 Corvettes and recently have...

I had a few weird C5 issues and found a thread in this section that detailed the locations of the ground point, 17 or so. As recommended, I cleaned up the easy to find ones and all issues cleared; never recurred.

Once in a great while a car appears that is an obvious BUY!! (even before a drive) This gorgeous Triple Black (15%) Corvette Convertible is a visual stunner; all stock but for (recent) wheels/tires/brakes (way more appealing). Nittos: 18" front, 19" rear, upsized 1"; calipers powder coated...

US engineering = World class Perhaps Americans will again to realize the value and quality of American products, versus the loudly touted, and fictional, IMO, foreign items. After poor ownership experiences with three widely varied German products (BMW, Grohe, and gmx mail), they're voted off...

Top three posts do not work. Another member reported the problem to me, also. I posted the first two, tried to delete the dupe..no luck. Please fix.:thumb

I may need a cold shower. :thumb

Ooooh.. me likes! :w

I am still a fan of using a vacuum gauge as a basic troubleshooting tool (old school). Much of the engine is electrically controlled, vacuum operated so all those old rubber hoses..... well, you know. The ECM not knoweth all, as you surmise. Unmetered air will cause a variable idle as the ECM...

Early '85 fans were not controlled by the ECM, ala the '84s. The relay is identical to the O/D and FP relays for swapping/testing. I have seen sticky contacts not allowing a relay to open (had hook-shapes on the contacts, which a light filing removed).

Very nice, clean, near perfect pair of BOTH factory service manual books plus the supplemental manual, with corrections for the for the electrical manual. These are offered on A-zon for $140-150for similar or worse condition. E-mail or PM me.:w $120, shipped.

Frankly, I think the shop is spouting BS and should not touch that car! The stealers I'd dealt with take a week before they are finished getting my pristine Corvette all filthy... outside, then cannot fix the car or even drive to see IF they did. Chevy or not, they may neither be experts nor...

codes??

The base product is not what we purchase, however. The added-to product is, so the amount and effectiveness of that blend is what changes. Even so, the fuels are regional and seasonal. I vividly recall driving my stock Vette back from Colorado. The last fill outside California delivered...

Yes, on the Corvette. The second replacement switch is N.O. Thanks, Roy. I got it. I am using that (the first switch I bought) as intended, on the F100's Vette driveline and will wire it so the fan (C4) runs when the A/C clutch is activated. :w

I don';t have that engine but is there a hose routing diagram under the hood? If the engine is getting unmetered air, via that hose, I'd say the running would suck!

It was rather easy to install the switch, shown here: Once, that is, the rubber hoses were out of the way. :w That yellow thing is a bright LED flashlight that has a magnetic clip for pockets and other things. It also swivels and is one of the handiest lights I own.

I mostly like the Flowmasters on mine but 1) they got louder with age, and 2) are louder than most, including me, prefer. I cannot sneak in/out anywhere! Yeah, welcome to THAT club, too!:w

FWIW, I have made these for decades, with great result, from a plastic discard bottle. It is lots easier and much prettier, with once of those gasket-making punch kits. Not all filters come with new seals and my plastics do well when reused. Better results come from thicker bottles, not milk...

Here's what I learned: My '84 is an early production, Z51 car; January. HotRodRoy's is a month later. The A/C in mine has been inop and mostly removed for years as mods were done, then refined. Recently, things went so well, under ZFDoc's care, that I had new A/C components sent to him for...
