1986 corvette

Do chips work, and how do you know if your 1986 corvette is e or l.

Welcome to CAC.

That's actually a big question, some claim all most of the "off the shelf chips" do is turn the fans on earlier. Most people in here will recommend getting a custom burned chip to go with any other mods you may have done.

As for the late early thing, do you have center bolt valve covers or side bolt.

The early vettes had the Iron heads with side bolts around the perimeter of the VC, the later vettes and all Verts had aluminum heads with center bolt VC's.

Don't forget to wave.

Here's a link to the Model center here at CAC that explains the 86 and more.

You can always access it through the "Tech Center" tab above.

Hope this helps.

And ask as many questions as you want that's what we live for in here.

The generic chips are worthless, I wouldnt recommend getting a custom chip until you are done with mods or have changed the camshaft.
