    What size tires to put on 1986 Corvette

    Not sure what they mean by "91-96" saw blades. Not all those years had the same size wheels. On the 91 they were 9 1/2 wide all the way around and that is the tire size they had all the way around. Other years had narrower wheels and narrower tires in the front, so no you could not rotate...

    WTB 6 Speed Z51 / J55 or.....

    Just saw a listing in the Boston area Craig's list for a 1989 Vette w/6 speed and the handling package. I don't know any more than what the posting says. Its posting # 4069384313 hope this is helpful. Good luck.

    How many C4 emblems on yours?

    15? That number seems awfully high. Where are they all? Some of them have got to be aftermarket add-ons, aren't they? Besides the 3 mentioned above, there are probably one on each valve cover and maybe another one under the hood saying something about Mobil 1, and then maybe on your...

    Battery removal

    Thanks ! O.K. Once I got down on my knees and looked at it, "Dawn came to Marblehead" , (as we say here in New England). There it was staring right back at me. So it wasn't near the problem I was envisioning, but it was still probably the most involved battery replacement I've ever done...

    Battery removal

    is this what you mean? I guess I need to jack the car up and crawl under and then I should see a narrow slot between the side panel and the rocker panel that I can slide the wrench into. Is that it?

    Battery removal

    still confused.... I guess I'm really missing something. I can not see the head of the bolt to put a wrench on it. How do I get to see the head of the bolt? If I lie on the floor, it is completly sealed off from view. When I look down from above I can see the threads sticking up, but...

    Battery removal

    how do you get at it? How do you get at the head of the lower bolt? It seems completley sealed in to me. All I can see are the threads sticking up through the nut. If you open the door wide enough do you get access to it? (I'm stuck in the garage with a dead battery and therefore can't open...

    Question: 1984 magnesium valve covers

    :confused Well I guess I was wrong in my interpretation of the original post. Finding replacement valve covers shouldn't be very difficult. However, I like the suggestion of painting yours to match the exterior. :thumb :w

    Question: 1984 magnesium valve covers

    magnesium is the key I think he is being specific about wanting the magnesium covers. All the catalog places carry aluminum and chrome covers but not magnesium covers. Do the dealers carry the magnesium ones? Jim S. :w

    Spare tire is it real or legend.?

    donut? That doesn't look like one of those little "donut" spares to me. That looks more like a real tire. Maybe that's why the tray won't go all the way up. Am I seeing it wrong? :confused Jim S. :w

    Spare tire is it real or legend.?

    related question There's a little light down there by the spare, right? I've never been able to get mine to light up. I swapped out the bulb and that didn't work. What's the secret? Inquiring minds want to know... Jim S. :w

    Spare tire is it real or legend.?

    curious... Is it mounted on a saw blade or is it one of those little donut tires? :confused

    Spare tire is it real or legend.?

    I've owned mine for about 9 years now, and I don't know if ther's a spare in there or not! I guess I hope that I never have to find out!

    C-4 Blackouts

    You might want to give Nite Shades a try. Its a spray on tint and you can control how dark or light you want them and its also reversable, in that you can use paint thinner to take it off completly. And a can of that is a whole lot cheaper. Plus you can put it on the inside of the lens and...

    Tuned Port Fuel Injection LT1?

    I'm not sure that any of the posts to this thread to date have actually answered your question. I guess the answer might be: Because that is what is on the stickers that they sell, (the center console ones). I don't think anyone makes a sticker that says something different. One can only...

    Tuned Port Fuel Injection LT1?

    That may be true for the LT1, but I doubt it for the L98.

    Tuned Port Fuel Injection LT1?

    I don't believe that is true. On the L98 each bank of four injectors is fired at the same time, so how can you have a different pulse width for each cylinder? :confused

    Tuned Port Fuel Injection LT1?

    What does GM say? Can anyone quote a GM/Chevrolet/Corvette manual that gives a definition of TPI? That would be the ultimate answer for me. Otherwise, you're just giving your interpretation of TPI, what you or someone else thought they meant.

    You're right. That would be the real issue!

    (Picture Thread) Show your C4 to the world!

    Mounted one way they suck air into the brakes, mounted the other way they suck air off of the brakes. Either way they are moving air over the brakes to cool them off. So I guess it becomes a visual issue and a "the way the factory meant it to be" issue. Jim S. :w
