Thanks for the help. It's greatly appreciated. I have no real reason for wanting to tear down another TPI other than the fact I want to better understand what is currently under my hood. I think I'll just pick up an SBC long block on Craigslist or even at the junkyard and start from scratch. I...

Hi all, My 1986 Convertible was at one point a barn find. We picked it up for next to nothing and about all it had was a (barely) running engine. The interior was destroyed, the suspension and brakes were virtually nonexistent, and it was missing part of it's exhaust. Cosmetically it was missing...

Vats You said you bypassed VATS - did you also stop the anti-theft alarm from functioning? For the longest time mine wouldn't start because the alarm would go off and even with a VATS bypass it would just drain the battery thinking that the alarm is still going off. Also check your radio. My...

For anyone who has read my previous forum posts, you'll know that my Vette isn't in the best shape. It's an '86 Pace Car Convertible, and it needs a ton of work, starting from the engine, working back to the tranny, to the interior and finally the shag carpet at the back of the convertible top...

The emotional attachment is such a huge factor, as you guys know. I've been in love with Corvettes since I could walk, and I'm just a young kid. I can't imagine what it is like to own multiple Vettes, the feeling of driving one is just amazing. With that, I'd really like to get this one...

I am fairly certain the motor needs a rebuild due to the knocking that the engine develops after idling for a bit or running for a while. It is not short on power, as it still delivers extremely well for it's age. I have not performed any diagnostics on it as of now. My issue is not that I am...

Mileage I haven't been on in quite a bit and apologize for the extended absence. With that said, I am unsure as to how many miles are on the car. The Odometer reading is false, it reads about 30,000, but we were told that the ODO was tampered with upon purchasing the car. I believe the engine...

You go man! Drive that thing until the wheels fall off - and then put new ones on it. There's nothing like the feeling of waving at another corvette owner.

Hey everyone. I posted about this a long time ago but I'm still facing the same dilemma. I'm a 17 year old newly licensed driver (for about 3 months) and I've been lucky enough to have been dealt two vehicles. A 1999 Ford F-150 which is my daily driver, and another one that I've been...

The Insurance wouldn't actually be as bad as you would think. We've already looked at that aspect of it, and as far as the winter months....well, that's a good question. :P I know even during the summer, I'd rarely, probably never drive it in the rain. In the winter, I would probably drive it on...

Hello Everyone, I have a very interesting situation. I'm only 15, but I've loved Corvettes since a very young age. Absolutely adored them...so a few years ago my dad purchased a White 1986 Pace Car Convertible. The car was in decent shape, but we planned to restore it ground up, however we've...
