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...
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
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.
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...
A good read, IMO, and perhaps correcting a common misperception..
I always learn something from HotRodRoy, who stopped by for a look and the inevitable chat. One topic was oil viscosity.
A professional mechanic pal of mine said they oft use 10W60 synthetic in newer (Teutonic) cars that are...
no fuel press change; parts seem ok
Odd issue, here, which may be a sticky diaphragm in the FPR (non-adjustable).
-Fuel pressure w/ vacuum hose pulled is proper; that vacuum reads 22psi; about right.
-Using a hand vac pump attached to the FPR, it holds vac pressure perfectly, but but minimal...
F/S: Bilsteins, Early C4 rear
Near new, in original box; installed for about a month on a non-daily driver.
These were removed when the original Bilsteins were redone by them. The local Corvette shop had only the rears, which I why I have no fronts.
$100 (half price) + actual shipping
I found this, from another place, to be interesting reading.
Brake Fluid Facts, by Steve Wall
As a former materials engineering supervisor at a major automotive brake system supplier, I feel both qualified and obligated to inject some material science facts into the murky debate about DOT 5...
Welcome. You found, arguably the nicest group of cars guys on any forum.
An OP should move this post to the C3 forum, where there may be more attention and answers.
As the sound varies with RPM it's likely related to the tach. AFAIK, you could unscrew the tach drive from the distributor and...
Transmissions: Richmond vs Tremec
I am kicking around the idea of swapping in an aftermarket manual and not finding what I want in the forum(s). I'll need one rated for 600 ft.lbs. minimum.
Anyone have some great reading material on this topic? Thx. :w
Short circuit, left side fuel '90 Speed Density
Pulled the PITA Lingenfelter intake to check for pinched wires to the FIs. Maybe relieved it, but I started checking resistance to ground in a number of places, with my digital VOM. I NEED to ensure of a fix before reassembling it. (FelPro...
DO NOT BUY from this dishonest place. The title here is the eBay merchant name, the second the business name and locale.
Short form: I bought an Rustang engine for a project and it has a damaged piston, despite being represented as low miles, drop in and go. Problem is, as projects go, it...
Zero fuel pressure - fixed
Finally; the engine all ready to fire. It rotated well and acted like it wished to run... no start.. CRAP! Someone is getting weary of this project, accentuated by the humid heat wave.
The first suspect, after checking the fuse, is the relay, having caused...
My car is setup like an '87, but with a '90 speed density ECM. I've found a few incomplete vacuum diagrams ('86 and '87) online, but there is no diagram anywhere on this car and I find no vacuum schematic in the '84, '87 or '90 FSMs.
The aluminum tube, bolted to the intake manifold, adjacent...
