    I had the same problem with my '89 and I found that you REALLY have to make sure that the battery cables are FIRMLY attached to the battery terminals. This is especially true with the cable that is on the side of the battery farthest outward from the center of the car. Move that cable back and...

    Starts/Sputters then Fine

    Hi! Just recently I have had an odd starting issue on my '89. I asked CorvetteForum and also thought to try here. When I have started the car after it has sat for about 5 hours or overnight, I occassionally have gotten a sputtering, low idle speed that causes the whole care to vibrate...

    Getting another removable panel (targa)

    In my old '81, I devised a system using soft racks which tied inside the car to haul my 9'6" Infinity longboard around. I applied silicone sealant to the webbing to stop water from leaching through the webbing into the car. On my '89, I fold down the front passenger seat, put the board in a...

    Rearview Mirror Glass Replacement

    Hi! I noticed in the ZIP Products catalog that they sell the rearview mirror glass for my '89. The glass on my mirror is a bit scuzzy, so I was thinking of replacing it, but before I start in with it I was wondering if anyone had done this and knew how to remove the existing glass and...

    cleaning in front of radiator

    Yeah---I've seen that in one of the major Corvette catalogs. Was it difficult to install? Does it seems to work? Cheers, /s/ Chris Kennedy

    Dark Gray Competition Wheels Picture

    Hi! I have been reading about some dark gray "competition" wheels that are an option on the Z06. Does anyone have a picture they can post? I am currently running all black (no silver lip) C5 Z06 wheels on my '89 6-spd., and like the racetrack look. Thanks, /s/ Chris Kennedy

    3rd time's a charm...85 Frankenvette rising from the ashes????

    You know, after quickly reading the history of the car I can fully understand why you want to get it running again regardless of the economics, or lack thereof. No need to explain. Please keep us apprised of progress, and if you need parts sources ask. I have done a lot of used parts type...

    Robert Shaw Thermostats

    Hi! I was reading several posts in which people commented that "Robert Shaw Thermostats" had lowered operating temperatures. Apparently, the argument was that these thermostats had larger openings (flowing more water) than the standard Stants that you see in most auto part stores. I had...

    Power Steering.

    Another way to do it that avoids messing with the lines (and possibly causing leaks, breaking the hose etc.) is to warm up the car and fluid and use a turkey baster to siphon out the fluid in the reservoir, then pour in some new fluid, drive around the block, siphon again, pour in new fluid...

    1989 Sport Seats

    Thank you for your interest (I have been out of town and apologize for the delay in replying to your message), but my original posting was done awhile ago and I have recently sold the seats. Keep checking on Ebay, or on CorvetteForum, and I am sure you will see others comming up for sale...

    Black Chrome Wheels

    Thanks!! I have always loved those Hooker black powdercoated headers/sidepipes. There's an old BF Goodrich poster that I think has them on a '69 with the American Racing Torque Thrust Ds (another favorite of mine). I think what happened for all of us who like this sort of thing is that we...

    Black Chrome Wheels

    Thanks---I just tried that (if it doesn't work, I'll try something else). Incidentally, everyone needs to remember that while this thread started with Black Chrome wheels, the wheels I eventually got were ALL black, Z06 style (C5) black POWDERCOAT wheels. Cheers, /s/ Chris

    MSD Suggestions....

    I used to have one of these MSD units in my old '81, and watched a friend of mine who is a professional mechanic fuss over installing one of these in a C4. It can all get VERY complicated, and the unit in my car failed and shut down the car (don't know if this would happen in a C4...
