Having an issue with my '86; started last fall the low coolant light would come on occasionally but the reservoir was ok and when removing cap the radiator seemed ok. Pressure tested and it did lose pressuer slightly. I replaced all hoses, water pump and flushed the coolant system and refilled...
FYI - My daily driver 1986 Corvette rolled 300,000 miles with only routine maintenance (brakes, shocks, cluttch) and PMs. Way to go Chevrolet and USA :)
My 86 Corvette has brake issues - Back in January I deciced to rebuild all four calipers, replace the brake hoses and flush the brake fluid. While rebuilding the front calipers the fluid in the master cylinder ran dry. Reinstalled the front calipers & hoses - then gravity bleed the front brakes...

My question is the brakes...
