New to Corvettes.....and forums!

[Joe1966]

Always wanted one. Now I have my first! It's a beautiful, cherry red 1988. I'll have lots of questions as I haven't worked on cars since I was a teenager (and that seems like a million years ago). So here's the first: Radiator full.....looks clean. Reservoir is empty though. Is this normal? (dumb question....but please bear with me)!

Welcome to the Corvette Action Center!

I'm going to move your thread into the C4 Tech forum for greater exposure...

Thank you!

I wasn't sure where to go!

Congrats and welcome.

My C4 is a bit older but the reservoir's cap has an indicator for Hot/Cold coolant levels, like most cars. Empty leaves quite a lot of questions, as to just how low the coolant is.

A factory service manual (FSM) is key to working on these cars; highly suggested.

Remember to wave!
