    1976 L-48 Engine Timing

    I don't have a book or a sticker on my 1976 L-48 with Auto transmission to tell me what the engine timing should be. Can anyone help? Thanks, Bill

    Hood Alignment

    Is it possible that there are some shims for the front bumper that were not put on? I have looked and haven't found any evidence of being hit, although I guess a lite tap wouldn't do anything stucturally that can be seen but make things not line up properly. Perhaps I should remove the front...

    Wow! that's rough

    Has the car been lowered? If so then you will get a terribly rough ride. When you look at the front spring you should see a rubber piece on the end of it. It can be viewed by simply looking down at the spring and the end will get bigger because of the rubber on the end. If you don't see that...

    Hood Alignment

    I am having difficulties with my hood alignment. I believe that a previous owner or mechanic had it off at some point, probably for painting. It isn't lined up properly. The part that I can't figure out is why the hood is so close to the bumper in the centre but there is a larger gap on the...

    Idle Speed and more

    I just put my engine back together in my 1986 coupe with iron heads. My question is do I set the timing before setting the new IAC valve and TPS? What RPM should the car idle at?

    Oil temp 25 degrees higher than water

    Have you cleaned the rad? If you have changed the t-stat and it is still warm then clean the rad. There could be alot of leaves and other stuff in there that is keeping the car warm. You would be amazed at what can get in there. The very least you should do is spray water from the back of...

    Relays

    I was in my dash today in order to change the relay on my Bose stereo. I complete story on its own. Anyway, what exactly are all of the relays that can be seen? I can see approximately three relays in that area.

    Vehicle Lifts

    Several months ago I saw an article in a magazine with someone who had several Corvettes in his garage on lifts. I did a search and found a few companies which offer these storage lifts. Are there any storage lifts to avoid or any that may be recommended?

    New Style Head Gaskets

    I am in the process of (and what a process it is!) of putting new head gaskets on my 1986 Corvette with iron heads. I had a really hard time getting bolts out of the TPI and Intake Manifold. The hard part seems to be finished. Anyway, during one of my breaks I was watching Speed on TV. They...

    Coolant problems

    I am having some coolant issues. Whenever the car reaches 85-85 degrees celcius the low coolant light comes on. I also believe it is burning off coolant somehow because the last time I ran it the exhaust was smokey. The oil doesn't seem to be that dark though? Is it possible that the water...

    ECM Problems?

    I am not sure how to tell if I am having ECM problems or a bad ground. I often here strange sounds in the radio before the service engine light or coolant light comes on. The numbers on the air conditoning do not always come on ( I already fixed the air conditioning so that isn't the problem) I...
