    A little surprise discovered tonight - baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.

    The location is on the back deck above the passenger side rear speaker (you can see one of the screw clips in the pic) and underneath the carpet and sound insulation. You need to remove the speaker cover, fold back the carpet (remove big black plugs) then peal back the insulation just above the...

    A little surprise discovered tonight - baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.

    Hello - While replacing some rear speakers this evening in my '92 convertible, I noticed some markings underneath some of the insulation / sound deadening material. It dawned on me that I was looking at a baseball bat and ball. I had to rub my eyes almost to make sure what I saw. No doubt...

    Parting out 1992 Corvette

    Hi - I'm interested in the rear speaker/amp. Is it in working order? Thanks.

    Do you REALLY want an aftermarket stereo?

    Would it be possible to ask each of you to take a pic on how the new head unit looks in the dash? I have a '92 with the bose system and really can't stand it either, however, I'm concerned about how much a new aftermarket unit effects the total look of the dash. I'd prefer something that...

    Rear Turbo's

    The limited reading I've done seems to point to the turbo's using exhaust pressure to a turbine, not heat differential. Unless I misunderstood your question. What is your thought on the ditto on air intake? Read the dyno results on an LT1 Camaro - 271 to 385 HP, 269 to 382 TQ. Seems like...

    Rear Turbo's

    Yeah, I agree on the concern for water getting sucked into the system. To overcome that, I was imagining the intake routed up inbetween the rear alum bumper support, something up and out of the way. I was thinking you could do away with the spare tire, arrange the system so that the cover to...

    Rear Turbo's

    Anyone heard of such a system for a C4? http://chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/148_0502_turbo/ Interesting idea.

    Anyone ever had a family member/friend ask to borrow your vette?

    Yes My best friend's son approached me last spring and asked to borrow it for his prom. I thought, why not? It will make a good memory for he and his girl. However, I wanted him to be comfortable with the car, so I agreed to the arrangement provided he and I spent some time in the car...

    Short Beam Not Working

    Depends. If the light is sealed, you have no choice but to replace the entire light. Here's a link I found this morning at Autozone. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/21/37/f9/0900823d802137f9.jsp If you have the halogen replacement setup, you...

    Can 84-96 odometers be rolled back??

    I have the digital odometer in my '92. When the vehicle reaches 100K miles, does the odometer read 100,000 or 0? ;shrug ;shrug

    I think my gas gauge is not working

    Well, since we're all being honest here, I also ran out of gas two weeks ago in my '92. ;stupid Same issues, althought I pay more attendion to the miles remaining. It still read 60 miles when it ran out, it did say reserve also. I agree will all that when it reads 1/2 tank, it's more likely...

    LEDs Installed

    BadVette - Nice ride! I've got a 92 roadster, I noticed in your pics your sawblade rims looked super nice. :upthumbs :upthumbs What process did you followup to get them that way? I presume they are polished vs. chrome. Thanks. Blaise

    Squirrels under my hood

    Todd - I confirmed the tapping sound originates where the rocker and the top of the valve meet. The noise is not coming from where the pushrod meets the rocker. I adjusted the rockers with the valve covers off, using the long funnel as a hearing amplifier. I was able to place the narrow...

    Squirrels under my hood

    Anytown - I recently pulled off the valve covers, and adjusted the rockers. I used a clean long funnel as a hearing aid, with the wide portion close to my ear, and the narrow end to hone in on each rocker. I found through this process that the tapping is originating where the rocker and the...

    Squirrels under my hood

    Update? Anytown - Still around? I was reading your posts tonight with keen interest. My '92 seems to have the same problem - noisey, tapping valvetrain. I am thinking lifters or valves. Wondering what you came up with for a solution. I have 58K miles on the car.
