For the past 6 years, I 'bag' ( car cover ) my corvette in the winter months, and for the past 5 years, I've had 'rodent' problems, mice and/or squirrels, getting under the hood building nests, leaving seed husks, etc in the engine compartment and my biggest nightmare, chewing wires. Well this past...

Hi, Have been restoring a '77 vette. My aluminum wheels were white with oxidization.I took off each wheel and spent two hrs each using rubbing compound and Mothers aluminum polish. I took 30 years of oxidization off those rims and brought them totally back to life. They shine like silver...

Have a couple of problems maybe releated. Service light came on about a month ago, had Autozone check the code and they said it P0719. The code translated to Torque Converter/Brake Switch B Circuit Low. The said my brake switch was going out. They did not have it stock (nobody did) I have...

Have a question. I've got a cherry 82 Collector Edition w/25k miles and the AC Compressor froze up. Question is; Do I rebuild what I have or buy a new one. If I rebuild it, the unit is dipped and stripped clean so I lose the label matching the unit with the car. Moreover, I'm with the...

With a 10 yr. old 'vette, I'm starting to think about a new one. Any ideas when they'll come up with a C7? If it's not too far away, I might wait. If not, may just take the plunge.

Hello, I am still restoring a '77 vette and it's going pretty good so far.. Have had the car for 3 years or so. Presently having problems finding a part........I usually use Corvette Central , Ecklers or Mid America Motorworks catalogues to find my parts. I'm looking for the switch...

Can anyone tell me if a 78 L48 has 2 or 4 bolt mains or if there is a way to tell without pulling the pan? Thanks

I just picked up a 90 Vette for my son's first car. Paid $5,500 for what appears to be a cherry ride. Seemed like a deal. Pulled a Carfax and found only two other owners and no issues. Obviously there are lots of little things wrong we are looking for solutions to. We are do-it-yourself kind...

I used to own a vet, a 1979, which I sold quite a long time ago. Summers coming and I find myself which some extra cash so I have been looking in the paper for a late model corvette. I researched that a new model came out in 2005 so I thought I would look around for a used C6 rather then a C5....

Seems like it would be simple, but how does the shift knob come off? It will unscrew to a point then gets hard. I stop because I'm afraid of breaking or stripping something. Thanks

I changed out my emergency brake handle assembly in my '77. The lever was broken. Anyways...when I took apart the console I found this filter thingy laying inside. It appears to have fallen in the counsole along with some spare change. My question is, is this a Corvette part?.. It has a screen...

Hello Was wondering if anyone has any bad experiences with steam cleaning their engine, particularly on C4's. I heard somewhere that there's a problem with the car not able to start after doing the cleaning. Is this true? is there something I can do to prevent this problem (other than not...

I have a 1999 Corvette and only 26000 miles of the car. I have been told that the coolant becomes gunky if it is not run more. I don't drive it to often but keep it well maintained. Has anyone heard of this issue with coolant? Chirs

The Dealer im going thru has both of these . Dont know which to get. I understand that the .32 cal. is the absolute minimum for self defense but I understand the Tomcat can shoot HP rounds which would make it more lethal. I love semi autos and i love the size of the Tomcat for CCW. On the other...

On my Mighty Demon 800 carb, ive got 2 sets of idle air bleeds and 2 sets of high speed air bleeds. Im wondering under what conditions the air bleeds need changing ? What would be the indicators that the idle air bleeds need enlargening , and, same for the high speed air bleeds ? Thanks. I cant...

Hello, I'm having a minor problem determining where the wiring harness is supposed to travel through the front of the car. This is the long harness that snakes through the left side of the engine compartment to the front and then to the right side of the car. Our photos of the dissassembly don't...

Im considering Jet Hots Sterling 1300 coating for my Hooker Super Comp. Headers. $295 less 10% . Any experience with Jet Hot ? Anything better out there ? Thanks, Dave.

I have a 1995 corvette, and when I stop at a traffic light, the temperature gauge goes to 235 degrees. As soon as I start back up, it goes down to 210 degrees after about 1/2 mile. The yesterday the temperature was 70 degrees outside when this happened. I bought this car in December, 2006...

Hi I'm interested in leasing a new Corvette. My past 3 cars have been more expensive European luxury cars that I leased (one twice as costly as the Corvette). I'm 25 years old, have good income of $200k, and perfect credit. I'm not having much luck with dealers and had some questions... I went to...
