    1990 C4 Power Antenna Mast Retaining nut

    I need replace my 1990 C4 coupe antenna mast. The antenna nut had failed and is gone. Does anyone have a source for the antenna mast retaining nut or "antenna nut". I have the new mast and it works well but without the nut it simply pops out of the antenna motor tube. Internet searches have...

    Shiftless Tranny

    After driving in traffic for several miles today, my tranny decided to stop shifting normally under a normal load. From a dead stop, it would not shift from low to second below about 3500 rpms and required about the same rpms to shift from second to third. It refused to go into OD. I tried...

    Seat Suspenders

    Does anyone know where I can buy the elastic "suspenders" that support my seat bottoms? Eckler's and Mid America do not mention them.

    How smooth is smooth

    Still getting used to my '90. How smooth is the feel of the idle, typically, in these cars. Smooth in a Lexus is no indication of a running engine. Smooth in my '97 Suburban (w/454 & owned since new) lets you know the engine is turning over by slight irregular vibration. My '90 has a similar...

    Cruise Control

    I finally got around to trying out the cruise control on my new ride. Attempted to turn-on and engage - nothing happened. Tried the various control options available. Nothing. It's the same control stock as my '97 burb so it's not a operator error. Haynes is silent on trouble shooting. Any...

    Replacement Vacuum Hoses

    I would like to replace my '90 L98 vacuum and cooling system hoses with pre-formed OEM type replacements. Where have you folks found the best selection and values? :confused

    Automatic transmission clutch slip

    Driving along in OD at over (40 mph), press quickly on accelerator, clutch-like chatter and then OD fully engaged. Fluid was a pint low so that was topped off and the condition improved but not totally. Just returned from a 200 mile r/t at average speed of 70 mph and the tranny seems to work...

    IAC Hex Nut Size

    My next project is to remove, inspect and clean my IAC. Idle is not too bad but I've read herein that the IAC is prone to crudding up. Based on my other findings, it's probably cridded up. I plan to buy a deep socket suitable for the removal (my largest is 1 1/8") and I think it requires a 1...

    Bose Speaker Locations in '90 Coupe

    Since I just recently purchased my car, I have not focused on my Bose system (UU8 option) as yet but, based on other threads, Bose appears to be much disliked. My CD is inop and my forward speakers appear to be very weak and some of them may not work at all. Since I do not have a diagram of the...

    Spark Plug Wire Arrangement

    Does someone have a diagram for routing plug wires from the distributor to each plug? The PO of my stock L98 installed ribbed plastic covers (insulators) on the the right side wires and jambed the wires together in the "v" shaped clip outboard of the valve cover. I've always tried not to run...

    Jackstands & misfire

    This is my second post since I bought my '90 coupe two weeks ago. Jackstands; I've never owned a corvette before but I've worked on and under many older (mainly 70's or earlier) British sportscars. I always use jackstands when working under cars. At the rear end, I typically position my floor...

    '90 ABS Trouble Codes

    I just bought a nice but high mileage '90 coupe after 40 years driving and maintaining much simpler British sports cars. All's well except the ABS warning light (usually comes on after driving a short distance but not always). Brakes work well, disks are evenly worn and pad thickness is fine...
