My 96 LT1 runs fine except after a hot start. It starts immediately when the engine is cold, but after running for a while (20-30 minutes) and getting thoroughly warmed up, then sitting for about 30 minutes, it is slow to start and barely will idle. Can't even run the AC or it will die...

I've got code P0430. Time for a good used cat for bank 2.

At 120,000 miles I'm considering replacing the spark plug wires. It looks like a nightmare though, especially on the driver's side. Those of you who did it, what was your experience? Thanks, Ken

My Corvette has started making a noise that I can best describe as a slapping noise when driven over uneven ground, such as a rough parking lot. It is coming from the front of the car, and I don't notice it at higher speeds. I lifted the car up and was able to reproduce the sound (I think) by...

Anybody know how thick the tubing is on the exhaust system of an LT1? Thanks, Ken

Need crank pulley/damper, alternator, water pump pulley, water pump if good, brackets, tensioner, idlers, etc. off a Corvette or Camaro, Corvette preferred. I don't need the A/C stuff, just what is run by the main belt. Thanks, Ken

Like this one shown. If you've got one laying around, send me a PM. Thanks, Ken

Help! On my way home tonight, the Passive Keyless Entry light on my dash came on and my hatch release started clicking about every 5 seconds. It was cold, so the hatch finally opened after a while. So, there I am, going down the road in 15 degree weather with my hatch open, and the hatch release...

My cruise control has been acting up lately, not maintaining speed all the time, so I looked at the vacuum lines and found that the big one is shot. No actual splits that I could see, but it's crumbly, cracked, and dry. It comes out from under the power brake booster, and I couldn't replace the...

I had a rattle under the hood that I couldn't figure out for the longest time. Finally I spotted the problem: the black plastic bracket that holds the fuel lines in place next to the dipstick was broken. Just curious, has anyone else had that bracket break? That thing looked pretty flimsy. I...

A few weeks ago, my Corvette started stumbling/surging at light throttle application. It only does it when the engine is thoroughly warmed up - running for 20 minutes or more with oil temp over 200. When cold/cool the engine runs perfectly. It is most noticable when taking off smoothly from a...

Anyone know the complete cam timing specs for the stock 1996 LT1 cam? Thanks, Ken

I would like to install a switch that would control my antenna. "Off" would keep the antenna down, and "on" would be normal operation. Which wire does the switch go in? Where's the best place to get to it? Thanks, Ken

Anyone ever use Collinite wax? My brother swears by it and wants me to try some.

I've been thinking (could be dangerous) about a possible mod next spring, and I'm wondering if anybody has heard/tried it. We've got the throttle body that has hot water flowing through them, until we bypass it. Well, why not use that passageway for something useful? Like more horsepower? Why...

Anybody got a picture they can post showing the sequence for torquing big block heads? I sure would appreciate it! Thanks, Ken

I need a pair of ramps to drive up on, but I can't find any that the front air dam will clear. I just tried the Rhino plastic ones and they don't clear either. What do you guys do? Add a 2x12 board at the start? Is there a better brand? Ken

I'm not that tall, 6 feet even, but I'd like to get a little farther from the roof panel, without laying down. Has anyone tried lowering the driver's seat farther than stock? I can't tell much about the seat mechanism with a flashlight, so I thought I might just pull the seat out. Is there a way...
