Two questions.

Hey, I'm originally from Boston, but I'm okay now. Even though I live in Atlanta! Been down here now for 18 years and my neck may be a little red but I am NOT a hillbilly. I have SEEN some and I don't think the word "checkmate" has ever been uttered from their lips.

lets not forget to extinguish that cigarette before dousing yourself in gasoline..... dont see what any of this has to do with being a hill billy actually? and i have to disagree, i have gotten some solid advice from a lot of members on here.

 

[Paul Higg]

I agree, hillbillies or not, without this site I'd be LOST. I have had this Vette, my first one, since January and I have learned a LOT since then, mostly from the good people here.

Common sense would tell me that if one pulled the fuse for the injectors, all the fuel would still stay in the system and go no place!!!

Common sense tells me,if you pull the fuel pump fuses the engine stops immediately and fuel go's nowhere!!! :L:L:L


Hi, I'm a "American HillBilly",and Damn Proud of it!!

 

[rascal_rascal_99]

Wrong.

First start your engine and then pull the fuse for the fuel pump or injectors. Let the car quit on its own. Then replace the fuel filter.

We are not hill billys here, use some common sense so you don't spill gas everywhere.

You should get a chiltons or a haynes or a factory service manual when doing your own repares. And another thing don't take any advice on the internet as the right advice.

While I do agree that you have to be careful about what advice you find off of the internet and a good chiltons or fsm is great to have (I think haynes sucks, but then that's just my opinion:L) I think you also have to take into consideration what hillbilly you're getting your information from. The hillbilly we're talking about in this case I'd bet knows more about vette's than most of us would ever dream about knowing and I think his history of helping people get problems sorted out and fixed here more than speaks for its self.

I'm a hillbilly. You guy's act like thats a bad thing. That sixth finger really helps when working on cars .

 

[vett boy]

I really have to defend Junkie.Working on Vetts is his specialty and I can tell ya first hand he's pretty damn good at it.

As we speak I can see Canada very clearly (1/4 mile) Can't see any flames but a little smoke over there.

Just shut the engine off, take the cap off the fuel rail schrader valve, wrap it with a big towel and push the center pin in - viola - no more fuel pressure and a gas wet towel - dispose of properly!

I'm from north La. as in Louisiana. All my aunts, uncles and grand parents are redneck farmers. Ain't no hills in Louisiana, so I probably ain't a hillbilly but I'm full blood redneck.

Not being a smart azz... if you’re performing the work in your garage, make sure you don’t have a neighbor with a lit cigarette wander in to see “what your up to”.

Bad thing? I'm in the hills of Tennessee, I definitely don't see it as being a bad thing!

I sure wouldn't take advice like that badly! Any surprise flame when you're working around flamable's makes for a hnoes situation...I never knew until recently that most antifreeze was flamable, thank god I never tried to put out a fire with it!:W

So are Hill and Billy!!!

uh...there's a difference in a hillbilly and a hellbillary.....now excuse me while I go scratch my eyes out and seek therapy after viewing that picture with no warning....

 

[Paul Higg]

Like I said, I have been here (Georgia) 18 years and I am getting a red neck and have seen some real hillbillies.

Yeah, I just THREW UP when I saw that photo.

 

[rascal_rascal_99]

Yeah, I just THREW UP when I saw that photo.

I just realized when I read your post where you quoted me that I made a horrible error....I'd put that I "do" see being a hillbilly as a bad thing when I meant to say "don't"...

my apologies ya'll :ugh

 

[SPANISHVETTS]

This is just WRONG!

So are Hill and Billy!!!

Hey dude, I loved you when you were a Marine kicked back on that couch in Baghdad and I still agree with you on most points but Billery is just wrong, Wrong, WRONG.
Now how do I get the wine out of my keyboard that you made me spray in a fit of laughter? :L:L:Lotflotflotfl

I bought my son a 96 coupe as a present for being accepted into West Point. Before I delivered it to him, I took the car to a local quick change Pennzoil shop to have the oil, oil filter and fuel filter changed.

I drove the car over a pit opening and the worker did all the work, including changing the fuel filter, from below without removing anything. He did loosen the gas cap. That was 1-1/2 years ago.
