    Tire fitment - HELP

    I have a set of after market rims that came off of my 89 Corvette. The rears have a set of 315 x 17's that fit under my wheelwell fine. (The rims may be the same offset as the GS but I just can't remember.) I have a potential buyer who has an 87 Corvette. We need to know if they will fit his...

    Offset on 87 and 89 Corvette?

    I have a set of rims and tires that fit on my 89 Corvette. They are aftermarket rims. A guy with an 87 Corvette wants to buy them. We need to know that they will fit. If they fit on my 89 will they for sure fit his 87? Is the offset the same?

    better front spoiler

    The Prowler air dam shown works great. I put one on my 89 years ago and noticed a slight decrease in temperature while the car was moving. I have smacked it up against parking curbs and in general it has withstood great abuse on going up driveways and such. It withstood all this abuse without...

    LT1-Replaceing Clutch-Stay with Dual-mass??

    There is a duel mass flywheel on ebay right now for under $700.00. The aluminum one will be $500.00 or so and you need a different disc. I've talked to guys with the light FW and there is definate noise issues. Also, with the lighter FW you have less inertia, so it might take a getting used to...

    1989 heater core replacement

    I did this job on my 89 a few years back. I also would not do it again. I'll take it to a shop and let them do it. It was hell.

    RE:MAF Sensor Question

    I had the same problem on my 89. The car will run in the "limp home" mode if you disconnect the MAF but the MAF is problbly shot. You can buy one on the net or get an aftermarket one from a corvette catalogue. I have the one that you will find in Mid America Motorworks catalogue page c4-28...

    90 running warm

    You will find that a LOT of debris collects BETWEEN the radiator and the A/C condenser. Find some way to clean all the stuff that has collected there. Leaves, paper and cigarette butts collect mostly in the bottom left and right corners near the radiator. The cooling area of the radiator isn't...

    How hot is Hot

    Clean debris from between the radiator and the A/C condenser. Leaves, paper and cigarette butts gather there and cut off air to some of the radiator area. The debris gathers mostly in the bottom left and right hand corners or the radiator. You would be surprised how MUCH stuff collects there.

    Help Brake Pedal Hard to stop

    I forgot to mention a few things. Needed a new MAF sensor, air filter housing(cracked at seam), fuel pump and screen, had to replace the bulbs in the instrament cluster and had to have the intake manifold gaskets replaced because of infamous coolant leakage at rear of manifold. I love this car.

    Help Brake Pedal Hard to stop

    Probably it is either the master or the slave has gone out. Check it out. Best to replace both at the same time. Usually if you just replace one the other goes out after awhile. That's what happened to me. First the slave then a little later the master. Triple check that the booster is working...

    Different throttle bodies for different years?

    Anyone know what is different about the throttle bodies? I always see that the years are listed as follows: 85 to 88 89 to 91 92 to 93 I'm looking to buy a used BBK and want to make sure it fits my 89 Vette.

    Indexing Plugs

    In my opinion it is a waist of a lot of time. You will not notice any difference. It took me hours to do it in the 89 Vette and I needed to chase one of the spark plug holes because the threads got rounded off. A real PITA.

    1991 ZF-6 questions

    I would also replace the ball pivot for the fork. They tend to get a groove in them.Make sure that the ball pivot you get is the same as yours. I have read that other sizes are available that are very close looking to the Vette's. To avoid any mixup just set them side by side and compare before...
