The neighbors think i'm a corvette snob because i cover my vette up at night (bought a breathable, waterproof cover when i bought the car) Here's why: http://www.wallys-speed-shop.com/catvette.jpg I've yelled, physically removed, and begged the dumb cat to get his ass off the car but he wont...

It's official, I'm the new owner of a C4 (an '88 convertible to be specific) I love the car. It has 90K miles but everything works pretty well. Needs a power antenna (common problem from what i've read) the motor works but the internal cable seems broken. I'll get to that this week. Also, she...

I bought a replacement antenna from zip products for my '88 C4 and everything works great except the reception... it sucks. I checked all my coonections, grounds (especially my mast ground) and blammo!, crappy reception. I think it was better with the non functioning stock pos. Any thoughts??...

these are listed in the Buffalo craigslist in case anyone is interested. http://buffalo.craigslist.org/pts/195480334.html http://buffalo.craigslist.org/pts/195477777.html walt '88 conv

Hello everyone. My '88 C4 starts great when cold but when she's hot I have to pump the accellerator pedal to start it. I originally thought that I had a leaky injector or two but I believe it's the mass air flow sensor or burn off relay(s). The engine was hot and I removed the maf sensor and...

i've been reading up on corvettes (specifically the C4's) and your newsgroup is a wealth of information. I think I have my first corvette picked out and wanted some opinions from you experts. My brother in law owns a chevrolet dealership and he found this car for me. I've looked at about four...

Don't know maybe this has been covered. Someone just recently said that the removable top adds regiddity to the frame. My question. As I drive almost exclusively with the tinted top, which is lighter and thinner therefore not as strong as the solid top, does my frame flex more with that top...

my business partner just got a 2002 Z06 as a retainer fee, car is great, and is fast as hell. Only problem is that the 5th gear synchro is apparently messed up, you have to literally slam it into gear to get 5th. Local transmission shop says it can't be fixed, you have to replace the...

Hi all, My headlights no longer go up and down with the light switch. They will go up and down however with the little switch under the steering column. I have replaced all vacuum lines for the headlight system forward of the firewall. By blocking the right actuator and relay, the left side pops...

Hi all, Last spring I had to have the fuel tank removed and the rubber feed/return lines replaced on my '75 model. The shop told me the tank was in excellent shape with hardly a spot of rust anywhere. After the job I noticed that when the tank is full the fuel gauge needle reads way past the full...

Hi all, '75 model. My manual doesn't give instructions or vacuum values for troubleshooting a sluggish headlight system. Right light is sluggish when it works and the left light needs human assist for any up/down movement. It does say that defective vacuum actuators can be removed thru the...

Hi all, I have noticed fluid leaking around the speedo drive area on the tranny (automatic). The service manual instructions are simply to remove cable; remove retainer bolt and clamp; and remove driven gear assy. to replace "O" ring. Trouble is that the driven assy. just doesn't "come out". ...

Hi All, Found mouse droppings in my '75 model, so put a mouse trap on the drivers floormat. Caught a mouse. Reset the trap, and caught a second mouse. Found a large mouse nest under the console by the temp. controls made of chewed up carpet insulation. I figured they were getting in around...

'75 model. Yesterday I locked the driver's door like always by turning the knob inside and closing the door. Later in the day I wanted to open the driver's door again and the key wouldn't release the lock. I crawled in by way of the passenger door and the knob wouldn't turn a full 90* to...

Hi all, Need some new parts for the '75 that include a radiator, support corner-cushions, throttle cable, and maybe even the foam seals that direct the air into the fan shroud. Eckler's seems to be the least expensive except for the radiator which is cheaper from one of the local parts chain...

Hi all, Just had a new radiator, shroud, and foam strips installed in my '75 model. When I got home from the shop I noticed that the hood is rubbing the body on the driver's side while there is about 3/8 inch clearance between the hood and the body on the passenger side. I would like to make...

Hi all, I don't remember where I read this but it was about Armorall being bad for dash/tires/etc. because it makes stuff crack. Yesterday at a cruise-in I asked several owners of classic cars and they don't recommend using it either although they couldn't remember just what it is that they do...

Hi all, '75 Vette. There is a metering valve below the brake master cylinder that meters brake fluid to the different wheels and has an electrical contact for the brake light. On the side of this valve is a small rubber diaphragm about 1/4 in. in diam. There is a pinhole behind this diaphragm...

It seems that ATT is no longer going to have access to these news/help groups after 7/15. What news/help groups do you folks use that you could recommend after they shut this down ? Where will we find advice and help from the more experienced folks like Dad, Bob G, Key, Tom in Missouri,...
