I have had mine now for a few years and I may not have rebuilt an engine or tansmission but I have done a lot of little things to improve my car and would be clad to help you if you are close to me

Congratulations on your purchase. Great price since these are such great engines. I have taken on the task of a spark plug change and it has turned into a major task. A couple of the wires have been munched onad, so I am also changing the wires, distributor cap, rotor, painting the valve covers(the gaskets needed to be replaced), changing fuel injectors, etc, etc......... Just so much fun to get under the hood and play with the car:ugh. By the way, welcome to the CAC

Thanks. Yeah i need to do plugs as well. Mine has headers on it so almost looks impossible lol. I have my valve cover gaskets on order. So once they get here i will tackle that. Seems easy enough for now. Just got a haynes so im in the garage reading for once. Instead of my normal endless driving lol.

Congratulation on your new Vette! What a beautiful Vette!

Welcome to the CAC! You will find all of us willing to help you with any issues you may have.

John Robinson is one of the nicest fellas I have ever met. AND smarter than a whole lot of other folks!

A small tip. Try to find the Factory Service Manuals. ebay usually has them. Also, the original publisher Service Manuals, Owner Manuals, Wiring Diagrams, Service Bulletins - Helm Incorporated has brand new ones. Haynes & Chilton are good for very general information. NOTHING beats the FSMs. They are written by Corvette and are the books all the GM technicians use. Factory specifications, information and tools are all outlined.

While you are driving your Vette, please be sure to SAVE the WAVE!

 

[smokestack]

Thank you for the info. I see that the haynes is kinda useless. Seems like it focuses on earlier generations.

Welcome to cac. I am just like you I tend to drive mine just about everyday because they were meant to drive and enjoy. When I did the plugs on my 95 I removed both inner fender well covers and it gave me just enough room to squeeze in from the sides to change them. The best service manual for the car is going to be the factory service manual. You can find them easily on eBay.
