How do you know if the master cylinder has gone bad in a 1997 Chevy Corvette?

One sign is if you place you foot on the brake pedal and apply steady pressure, and the pedal slowing goes down toward the floor, the master cylinder is bad. As this car is 9 years old, when replacing the master cylinder, replace all the brake fluid in the entire system with fresh fluid from an unopened can. 1. It could have a leak at the master cylender. 2. the brake peddle slowly goes all the way to the floor.

Why is the Fleur De Lis on the Chevy Corvette's logo?

This is a fantastic question and it took some research for me to get the truth about the Fleur De Lis. I wanted to know the answer myself as I had often wondered about that very thing. Here is the answer I found.

Over the years, the Corvette has gone through many design changes; some subtle, some not so subtle. The Corvette's symbolic crossed flags emblem has also seen its fair number of changes. If you've taken a close look at the emblem over the five generations of Corvette, you'll notice that even though the design has changed dramatically from time to time, a few design cues remain. These include some form of a checkered flag and a bow-tie emblem. From time to time, a strange, maple leaf type of insignia, called a "fleur-de-lis" also shows up from time to time in the emblem. So what does all this mean and how did it get started? The original Corvette logo was designed by Robert Bartholomew, an interior designer at Chevrolet in 1953. This emblem was destined to appear on the 1953 Corvette prototype which was introduced to the public for the first time at New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel in January of 1953. It had crossing staffs with the checkered flag on the right hand side, and the American flag on the left hand side. However, four days before the Corvette was to go on display at the show, Chevrolet management decided that it should be redesigned. The problem with the proposed emblem was that it included the American flag which is illegal to use on a commerical product. Right before the show, redesigned emblems were attached to the front hood and steering wheel of the Corvette. The new emblem contained the checkered flag on the right side as well as the white racing flag, red Chevrolet bow-tie symbol and a fleur-de-lis. Where did the fleur-de-lis come from? At the time, Chevrolet was conducting research on various emblem designs for the 1953 and 1954 passenger cars. They looked at the Louis Chevrolet family history in an attempt to discover a crest or some type of heraldry that they could utilize. Unfortunately, they came up empty, but they did realize that Chevrolet is a French name and the fleur-de-lis (flower of the lily) is a French symbol meaning peace and purity. They decided to use the fleur-de-lis along with the famous blue Chevrolet bow tie on a new flag which replaced the American flag on the Corvette. When the 1953 Corvette first appeared to the public at the Waldorf Historia Hotel, the redesigned emblems were in place. However, this emblem was temporary and used only for press photography at the show. A new emblem was designed prior to the 1953 Corvette going into production. If you're wondering what ever happened to the original 1953 Corvette emblem by Robert Bartholemew, it's currently on display at the National Corvette Museum!

Summons for no front license plate in new york?

You are required to have a front plate. If you aren't a wiseguy and don't provoke the police by speeding, etc., you could possibly get away with it. I haven't had a plate on the front of my car since 1989, even high profile ones such as a 350Z and a Corvette. Good manners should bring good luck.

How do you get the convertible top down on a 2000 Corvette?

Unfasten the sun visors and pull them to the side. Turn and unlatch the handles behind the visors. Now pull the back of the top forward. When you raise the top up from the back you will feel for a button right under the lip of the back of the car behind the drivers seat. Push it and raise the back of the car up. Fold the top down into that area. Close the back again - it should snap shut.

On a 1977 Chevy Blazer 350 engine installing a new HEI distributor the engine at top dead center is the number 1 plug wire the 1st plug clockwise of the electrical connections on the distributor cap?

It depends on how you put the distributor in. If you're asking this question now it probably means that you didn't have the engine at TDC when you took out the old distributor and put in the new one... now you get to track down TDC on the engine (that's when #1 cylinder is at the top of the compression stroke) and find out where the distributor is pointing.

Understand that the #1 piston will be at TDC on top of the compression stroke and on top of the exhaust stroke. You need to make sure it's the right TDC. At that point, wherever the distributor is pointing is #1. Unfortunately, not everyone makes sure the distributor is back to factory specs.
