Update on 'I made a real mess" by
Jim M
First of all.. I love my Corvette and I really like this Newsgroup.
Just to thank all that responded to my timing chain cover disaster on my '77

Glue for Bezels? by
Jim M
Hi,
I am still restoring my '77 and have just received a set of bezels to go
around the rear hatches of my Vette (battery box, rear storage compartments
etc.). I am going to be attaching these plastic things to the existing
carpet. Can anyone recommend a glue for this?. Thanks...Jim

Wont turn over. by
jim Trinca
1980 Corvette, has intermittent no start problem. For no reason when I least
expect it, there is no one home when I turn the key to start. No noise, not
cranking, just nothing. Battery is up, just got to sit and wait it out, then
when it has a change of mind away it goes again.

Fuel rail on '93 falling apart by
JimH[_3_]
My '93 was running very poorly. I took it to my service guy who
diagnosed a clogged fuel injector. He cleaned it, and the car ran well
again for one day. I took it back in, and he saw that there was crud on
the intake for the injector. He then saw that the fuel line was filled
with a hard...

1980 RPM's by
Jimmy Vette
I have a 1980 coupe with an auto transmission & 350 motor. I was
wondering what the RPM's should read on the tach when cruising at 60
MPH. My car is running at around 3200 which seems a bit high & my gas
milage is terrible. I was thinking it should drop down to around 2200.
Could this be a trans...

I have a 1993 Corvette and one day while running the AC this
