I just bought a Corvette and it looks as though I have found the right site to help me get things fixed up!
My car is an 84, 4 speed, red exterior, carmine interior, Z51 equiped and after looking through the RPO numbers, it is like most of them it is pretty loaded.
There are still quite a few #'s that I have not been able to find out about yet. What does the 1AZ mean?
A42,A51,BGR,B16,DL8,D3X,D9B,E5Z,FE7, F51, HE3, K61, MK2, NA5, NB1, UQ4, & V73.
It has 83,000 miles and the interior is pretty good, except for the seats, and the rear carpet area is faded, but I see I can find out how where to find and change these by reading what others have done.
The paint, is definitely a medium quality repaint, that needs to be repainted, but looks OK for now. I'll have to change the door window seals and re-clearcoat the original rims -or if they are cloudy, can they just be wet sanded to clear them up?
I think that the owner degreased the engine, because it is clean, but the valve covers are weaping pretty heavy -got those to go on tonight.
On the back passenger side of the distributor, there is radiator hose with a flushing port, that the hose seems to be hissing -I figure it needs tightening or replacement -looks to just be standard heater hose?
It had the radiator replaced about 4 years ago and I noticed that it has a sensor on the passenger side -is should it be hooked up to something or is this a universal type thing that is used if needed?
The exhaust looks good and sound great -I don't know if it is a stock type system. Each tailpipe splits in two and has a chrome rectangular tip, that sort of just frames it?
Are there online service manuals availble to download?
I've only had it for a day, so I WILL be back with more questions.
Thanks in advance.
