    NO SPEEDO ?

    90 Vert auto. The speedometer shows 0 mph. All of the instruments that require speed or distance are not functioning. If I apply the brakes, just hard enough to light the stop lights but not hard enough to slow the car, the speedometer displays correctly. Also the fx3 shocks feel like they are...

    Cooling System Question

    As some of you may know I just put a new radiator in my Vette. It works fine. Wile testing on the hiway at about 70 mph I found that by turning on both fans the temp would drop by 2º C. This leads me to believe that the incoming air is going over the top of the radiator. Last week at “Glass on...

    X'MAS in August

    Friday my Vette got a present, actually 2, a new radiator and thermostat. I have been having some heating problems when in traffic and when temps got near 100. I replaced the 190 stock thermostat with a 180 and the radiator with a DeWitts all aluminum 2 row unit. After the install I let the car...

    Cat help

    Don’t let your Z run out of gas! Last year I ran out of gas and set off a chain of events that I hope stops now. Some dirt must have gotten past the fuel filter and stuck some of the injectors open. I got a right side rich code from the computer. I changed injectors (all of them) and I thought...

    Smog Decal ?

    Had my bi-annual smog test today. I passed, but almost failed on a technicality. There is no decal in the engine compartment detailing the smog equipment for the LT 5 engine. Is there supposed to be one, if so where can I get one? Anyone have a picture of it? Part #? TIA Bill

    Exhaust mod ?

    What do you think? I have a 90 ZR-1 with a stock 95 exhaust system, Its just too quiet ! I want it a little louder, not much, just a little rumble. I’m thinking about replacing the resonator with an “X” pipe and leave the rest of the system alone. Anyone done this? Thoughts?

    I Hate Zaino !

    I received my Zaino starter kit about 3 weeks ago. In between rain and cold weather I finally got the Vette done. It looks really good! The wife comes out says “hey that looks good, When are you going to do my car”? Do you know how big a Mercedes 500S is? I just finished the clay bar and...

    Brake Rebuild

    I have a leaking left front caliper on my ’90 ZR1. I am planning to rebuild all 4 corners. The car is not raced and from what I read on the forums is driven very conservatively. I have two questions for now. Are there any gremlins lurking around to surprise me? What pads would you use for normal...

    Another low speed miss problem

    This story started about a month ago, I had a fuel gauge failure, stuck on full. I didn’t drive the Vette every day or very far when I did so I lost track of the fuel and ran out of gas. Since then I’ve been fighting a low speed miss. The engine seems to run smooth when the secondaries are in...

    Engine Choice ?

    I am planning a Kit car project (corvettecreation.com) and I am thinking about an LT5 engine. Some friends have questioned my choice of engine, they say that it has some reliability problems. I figure that if anyone knows, you folks will. So what do you think? LT5 or small block? Thanks for...

    roller cam ?

    A long time ago (early 60's) there was an article in "HOTROD" magazine about a "roller cam". This cam was supported by needle bearings and followed by roller lifters. I don't remember if this was topped off by roller rocker arms or not. This system significantly reduced the friction associated...
