first shop online for your own parts you can get vette brake package deals, a garage will charge you double what he pays for the parts ex cost him 500 cost you 1000. make sure you buy stainless lined rebuilt calipers as they have pitting problems on the original this causes air to get in system and you get a sort spongy pedal. bring your parts to a good reputable shop you may have to pay a bit more labor because you are bringing parts. total labor should be between 5 or 6 hours times his hourly rate. you might need brake hoses being the car is 33 trs old. get prices up front or estimate by law he must come within 15 percent of estimate don't be surprised about frozen or rotted brake lines. remember a professional will not let a car go out with bad brakes

To install the new bulbs, raise the hood and raise the headlights. Unhook the battery for safety. Look down between the rear of the headlights and you will see the wires that attach to the fog lights. Put your hand down in that space and twist the bulb mount. You should then be able to pull the light out. If you have small to average hands and forearm, and good dexterity, you should be able to can replace the bulb with this method. Do not touch the glass of the new lights. Remove the wire connector from the old bulb and replace it with the new. Twist the new bulb mount into place. Reconnect battery.

Remove the spark plug wire caps from the spark plugs. Remove the spark plugs by turning them to the left with a 5/8 deep well socket.

how much would it cost me to have Chevrolet install a steering wheel air bag if i bring one in

Some 1887 Corvettes came with separate driver and passenger climate controls. The most likely cause is the control system, running a self test will show if the vent doors are operating properly. If the control is ok then the diverter door system is stuck.,

The C3 (68-82) Corvette door mechanisms were greased at the factory. If never cleaned, that grease dries and/or gets dirty, to become like glue. I suggest spraying a cleaner or penetrating oil onto the mechanism. Roll the window down and use a flashlight to see the mechanism. While spraying, work the lock and/or door handle at the same time. This should jar the works loose. It may take some effort and time, but your patience will be rewarded. When you get the door open, remove the door panel and clean the works more thoroughly. Just remember to oil the latch/lock mechanisms up with WD40 or 3-in-one oil when you've got the majority of the old grease cleaned out, so that it won't get stuck again. It's a good idea to do the same to the other door then as well. If the mechanisms are in rough shape (sloppy movement or what have you) when you get the door open, seriously consider purchasing complete new latch units. It's really worth the money in the end. Hope that helps! -ku2002

Not sure what brake pedal slip is, please try again and explain.

If you are referring to brake fade then the reason is that some brake pads are more susceptible to fade that others when they get hot. You may even experience the boiling of the brake fluid. In all cases it is caused by continual high speed braking. Brake fluid contaminated with moisture makes the condition even worse. Replace all your brake fluid with clean fresh fluid from an unopened container. Brake pads have a temperture at which they become ineffective. Replace your pads with high performance pads if you are doing some high speed braking. You may also need to change rotors to a racing type rotor.

Yes.

Here are the instructions straight from G.M.

1. Turn ignition off

2. Ground ALDL Terminal K (this is the lower row, 3rd from the right).

3. Turn ignition on (don't start engine)

4. Wait for fault codes to begin flashing (approx 5 seconds). When the codes begin flashing, unground ALDL terminal K for 3 seconds + or - 1/2 second.

5. After ungrounding ALDL K as described in step 3 above, ground it again for 3 seconds + or - 1/2 second.

6. Unground ALDL K and wait 10 seconds. Before turning the ignition OFF, verify that code 12 is the only code being flased (this is the seatbelt/air bag light flashing). If not, codes have not been properly cleared. Repeat from step one if codes not cleared until the codes clear.

Yes>>assuming you use the wire-adapter connection plugs sold seperatly

there is a guy on line who has all the information you need to build a by pass, find the tdm, buy a bypass from him and follow his installation instructions they quit selling them in 2009 so you have to make a bypass or scrap out the car. they stop working after 10 years. no gm did not have to tell you.

Economics: So let's say you outfit your new 1961 with a few goodies-the 315 bhp fuel-injected motor, 4-speed gearbox, limited-slip differential, brake and suspension package, and a nice hardtop. The cost increase of those items is $1,286, or almost exactly one-third the cost of the base Corvette, a substantial leap. (The hardtop, however, could be had for nothing if it was the only top you brought home.) But, mind that these aforementioned options are just for the enthusiast. Add comfort to that list and it would cost you around 500 dollars more-a heater for $102, a radio for $138, whitewall tyres for $32, power windows for $59, and a power top for $161. At least the most pleasing option, two-tone paint, cost only an additional $16, but that's enough to top the $500 mark. Total charge for a pizza with everything: $5,728.

I may be slightly off, but I have noticed the 'click' for the flasher is coming from the hazzard flasher button. I have removed the harness and found the turn signals do not work as long as the switch is disconnected. Hope this helps!! Just replaced mine. The Emergency Flasher switch (button) on the dashboard serves as the turn signal flasher also. Around a $35.00 item. You have to disassemble the face of the dashboard.. relatively easy, about 45 minutes.

With your radio in the On position, turn your ignition 1 click to engage the power antenna. Then gently pull out old antenna as it raises. Feed in new antenna while your assistant turns the radio to the Off position. the motor will naturally pull in the new antenna...or go to the carwash and convince them their mechanised mildew-removing mmaham are the guilty party, and they owe $35 for a new antenna.

The wiper motor fuse is located in the fuse box located on the passenger side under the floormatt pull back the carpeted panel from the top i think its fuse # 11

I have a 1988 and I answered in this forum before about changing the tail light and I think it is the same with the 85, The problem is the space is so small the average person's arm will not fit to get at the light. I used my 14 year old son whose are was alot thinner than mine and he was able to reach up and change the bulb. He had to squeeze his arm up until he could reach it it is a very tight spot.

Look below dash, left of steering column. on/near firewall... and do as rest of answer.. corvetteforum.com has all the answers on vettes.. == ==

I have a 1978 corvette and was curious too about the ratios.From what I found on the web they are 3.08:1 for an automatic and 3.36:1 for a manual transmission.

HUD or option number UV6 first appeared on 1999 option list

The factory OEM thermostat is set to open at 195 degrees. The radiator fan is set to run at 225 degrees and only under 35mph. A normal temperature range is 185 to 225. Service should be performed if operating temperatures reach anything above 230 degrees for any extended length of time.
