    Removing connector from '91 L98 coolant temperature sensor

    Thanks for the reply, but the '91 apparently has a different style connector--nothing to squeeze. See picture. While I was out in the garage taking a picture of it, I answered my own question. I tried one more time to remove the connector. I swivel it from side to side a few times in case...

    Removing connector from '91 L98 coolant temperature sensor

    What is the trick to safely removing the connector from the coolant temperature sensor on a '91 L98 (on right cylinder head next to plug #6)? The sensor has a nailhead terminal. I thought the connector would simply slide off or perhaps it needs to be pushed down and then slid off, but neither...

    Question: 1956 Front Crossmember Brake Line

    Mr. Bill, Glad to hear you're getting to work on that '56. Let me say that installing the front crossover brake line, while a little difficult, is totally doable without removing the engine. I've done it on both my '57 and my '54. Obviously you'll need to jack up the front end nice and high...

    Question: How to adjust cold enrichment on early FI

    Tom, I removed the black plastic thermostatic spring assembly and found that the end of the spring was loose and not anchored between the two internal plastic bosses, so it would not have worked properly. Also, one of the external electrical wires was connected to the wrong one of the three...

    Question: How to adjust cold enrichment on early FI

    Thank you, Tom. I will definitely look for the Clymer book. And thanks for the procedure. If it worked in the old days, it will work now. I will give it a try. Pete

    Question: What is the best shop manual for a '57?

    I have the 1953-1962 Corvette Servicing Guide but so far I've found it pretty inadequate (doesn't even have a good table of fastener torque settings--at least not for the engine). I couldnt' even find something as basic as the torque setting for the oil canister bolt. I know the old cars are...

    Question: How to adjust cold enrichment on early FI

    First of all I am new to Rochester mechanical fuel injection, but I'm trying to learn. I have an early "360" model FI unit on my '57. I just got the car two weeks ago and it was running very rich when it came off the transport trailer. Subsequently, I found the spark plugs to be totally black...

    New member in northern Virginia with recently acquired '57 FI "cover car"

    I'm not new to Corvettes, having had my first, a '58, at age 19 (it only cost $750 and I had passed up a '57 because it was too expensive--$1,000). Since that time, I've had a '64 coupe, a '69 roadster, an '88 targa top, a '95 targa top, a '99 roadster (which I still have and love), and my...
