Chevy Corvette

Acess is by removal of the exterior side panel. There are two 10mm bolts on top and bottom of the panel, the top needs to be removed, the bottom just loosened. There are 3 Torx screws inside the wheel well, difficult to remove with the tire in place unless you turn the steering to a stop, or use a Torx bit in a wrench. Bolt securing the battery on its base facing the driver seat needs to be removed.

6 degrees before top dead center.

Change brake light bulbs Just remove the rear license plate. You can change the backup lights and brake light easily.

Many of the GM vehicles of that vintage had an oil change reset button inside the fuse panel that is immediately adjacent to or behind the battery. If you can find that button, turn the key ON but engine not running, press and hold the button for about 10 seconds. Someone watching the light should see it flash a couple times. Turn off the key, then start the engine to see if the light goes off after the startup "test" sequence.

Depending on the year it is 5 or 6 qts. LS1 style engines would be 6 qts.

Didn't make a convertible in 1984. It has Targa roof panel that can be removed with a tool.

The only company I'm aware of which marketed a 427 motor for commercial vehicles was Mack, who marketed a variant of the E-tech motor, rated at 427 horsepower.

The two are as different as night and day. For one, the motor in a dump truck will be a diesel motor, vs. the petrol motor on a Corvette. The Mack Diesel motor displaces around 13 litres, vs. the seven litre displacement of the 427 CUID motor available in the Corvette - and there's your main difference, in that the "427" moniker on the side of a Mack truck indicated horsepower rating, whereas the "427" in reference to the Corvette's petrol motor represents cubic inch displacement.

That is because of the way the gear on the distributor and camshaft is tapered. If you turn it the other way it will pull the camshaft towards the rear of the engine. That is all normal. When you put it all together it won't do that.

If you haven't turned the engine over since pulling the distributor just put it back in pointing at #5. If you have turned the engine over since removing it simply rotate it until it is at #1 TDC. The easiest way to verify this is to line up the timing marks on the harmonic balancer and the pointer. Unfortunately this doesn't tell you if you are the exhaust or compression stroke. Worst case is you would then be 180 degrees out and you'd have to re-install the distributor exactly opposite of where it is pointing. If you have an assistant remove the #1 plug. Have them put their thumb over the hole. Bump the engine over until the compression blows their thumb from the cylinder. That would be #1 compression stroke. Now install the distributor and wires following the firing order.

You will find the firing order cast on the intake manifold near the carb.

The 2005 Chevrolet Corvette is 6 ft. 0.6 in. (72.6 in.)12V front power outlet(s) wide.

it comes in 4 colours

Base price with 283ci 250hp fuel-injected V8 and no other options is $3,626, base price with 283ci 283hp fuel injected V8, no other options, and Duntov competition camshaft is $3,626, but with the cold-air induction system costs $3,851.

Put your head down in the footwell and look at the bottom (center) of the seat. You will see a small silver wire about 3" long. Push this wire down and back toward the back of the seat, when it pops down simply pull the seat cushion up.

i usually use a sawsawll. or a table saw.

In my opinion, ALL Corvettes are special in their own way. However, there were special differences in the 1977 Corvette. One major difference was that the 1977 Corvette was not a Stingray, although it is very similar to the 1976 Stingray that it replaced. 49,213 Corvettes were sold in 1977. Inside the car, the console was redesigned for '77, allowing it to hold standard Delco radios. Also, the steering wheel was about two inches closer to the instrument panel, making getting in and out easier and giving a more comfortable driving position. A "multi-functional" control lever was included on the steering column, and operated the headlight dimmer switch and the windshield wiper system. Leather seats were also standard for the first time in a Corvette in 1977 (but you could order seats with cloth and leather). On the outside, a luggage rack was added so that t-tops could be stored there and free up interior cargo room. A new Corvette logo with crossed flags was used this year. A thinner pillar between the windshield and side glass made the glass look more integrated with the rest of the car.
Among other interesting facts about the 1977 Corvette, this was the first year for AM/FM stereo with a tape player and cruise control (if you had an automatic transmission). Glass tops were supposed to be offered in '77, but were postponed until the following year. The optional "performance" engine for the 1977 was the L-82, making 210 horsepower. Engine paint color changed mid-year, with early 1977 engines being painted Chevrolet orange and later 77's being painted blue. Next year (1978) would mark the Corvette's 25th anniversary, and would be commemorated with the Silver Anniversary cars.
I hope that this helped to answer your question! There is so much more information that can be found about individual years of Corvettes, but I just tried to include information that struck me as major and relevant.

Personal Experience

There is a great diagram in the C5 section at Smokinvette.com. Ask for "corvettedon" and good luck!

The curb weight of the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette is 3208 lbs..

Better hope it is not a drum brake- it was originally equipped with a disc brake caliper.

Power brake booster is going bad. wont hold vacuum for power brakes to work.
