I am an amateur backyard mechanic. I'm replacing the 700r4 transmission in my 82, and was wondering whether its common to also replace the radiator. All I need is some 24 year old radiator to spring a leak into the transmission cooling lines and ruin my newly rebuilt tranny. Or am I just being...

Anyone interested in some stock chrome wagon wheels for their C5? I have a set from my '99 coupe that can be picked up in the Greater Toronto Area for $250 CAD for all 4 (no rubber, no wheel sensors). The chrome is peeling in some areas, but the rims are in overall good shape with no warps,...

90 vette, unable to unlatch front hood , one side releases and the other side does not, is there a manual release? Thanks for your help. Joe

Today I woke up to find a puddle underneath my 1987 Coupe. As I inspected, I realized that it was brake fluid. So I opened the hood and checked where it is coming from. There is an obvious leak between the master cylinder and the booster unit. Do I need to buy a new master cylinder, or a new...

I assume they are for a Corvette but don't know what year. Would like to sell to someone who can actually use them rather than have them gather dust in my shed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7921704721 thanks, nate

Wondering if anybody might now what the problem is with my AC unit. If I'm driving around my AC is working fine, pretty cold air coming out vents, but then I make a stop for a short period of time (10 minutes to an hour). I go back to my car, turn it on and it doesn't blow out cold air, just warm...

Had the Vette sitting out over night at the girl friends place. The next morning I noticed water spots all over the car. Seems the sprinkler system went crazy and sprayed across the driveway hitting the back, side and front of the car. Couple of days later I washed the car but was unable to get the...

From what I can gather in online news reports, Ric's island might have taken an almost direct hit. It seems Pensacola has gotten hit worse than Mobile. There are reports of houses at Pensacola Beach that have simply disappeared. AJM

Anyone know where I can find instructions on rebonding a body panel to its reinforcement. The nose panel, adjacent to the front of the hood has seperated from the panel reinforcement and has raised about 1/8". I need to know what kind of epoxy to use and instructions to rebond. Thanks for any...

Hi All, Can someone steer me to the correct hose-end fittings? It's an '89 vette (TPI). The two fuel line connections that exit in front of the right-hand fuel rail is what I need to match. One inlet's larger than the other. Can anybody tell me what size & type connectors I need to fit braided...

Hi All, I've come across a Corvette engine ('89 350 I think) with Tuned Port Injection. Actually the vette's totalled and I'd like to keep the engine with TPI. what will I need to make the TPI & ignition work? I can get the computer but no harness. I confess ignorance about all the sensors. I...

They have neve worked since I got the car and I am now getting around to troubleshooting them. I checked all of the fuses and they are fine. The...

I now have the time and enough cash to pursue a long held wish of owning, driving, and working on a Corvette . but I need a reality check. The plan is to buy an over-the-hill Corvette and go to work on it. Among the things I would expect to do a repaint, rebuild the engine and transmission,...
