How does one change a 79' corvette water pump?
Firstly, the water pump itself is identical to any other Chevy 350 v-8 water pump from the 70s. If you know about auto engines already, there's no big secret or surprise. If not, please read on. It's always a good idea to have someone who knows about cars help you. Start by taking a picture or mental note of what the engine looks like before removing parts. Have something handy to hold all the hardware and keep it from getting misplaced (I can't tell you how many essential nuts/bolts I've lost by not doing this) First, undo the lower radiator hose and drain the coolant into a clean pan (1-2 gallons) Using a clean pan helps you put the coolant back and not waste it. Then, remove the nuts that hold the fan and water pump pulley together. Take the fan and pulley out from their place. Before continuing, make sure it's the water pump. An easy way to do this is to grab hold of the studs where the fan bolted on and try to make it wiggle. If it does, you know that the pump is bad. Next, unbolt the water pump and remove. Reverse this process to install new one. Hope that helps! -ku2002

# Remove the Air Conditioning (A/C) drive belt.
# Remove the power steering gear. # Remove the starter motor.
# Remove the right transmission cover and bolt. Notice:Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Important:Make sure that the teeth of the flywheel holding tool mesh with the teeth of the engine flywheel. # Install the J42386-A and bolts. Use one M10-1.5 x 120 mm and one M10-1.5 x 45 mm bolt for proper tool operation Tighten the J42386-A bolts to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).
# Remove the crankshaft balancer bolt. Do not discard the crankshaft balancer bolt. The balancer bolt will be used during the balancer installation procedure. Important: For manual transmission applications, note the position of the crankshaft balancer before removal. The balancer does not use a key or keyway for positioning.

The first pass ensures that the balancer is installed completely onto the crankshaft. The third, and fourth passes tighten the new bolt to the proper torque.
# Using the old balancer as a reference, mark or scribe the NEW balancer in the same location (if required). # Install balance weights into the NEW balancer (if required). Important:Align the scribe mark on the balancer with the scribe mark on the crankshaft. The balancer should be positioned onto the end of the crankshaft as straight as possible, prior to tool installation. # Install the balancer onto the end of the crankshaft.

4.4. Remove the tool and reverse the installation tool.
Position the larger end of the installer against the front of the balancer. 4.5. Use a wrench and hold the hex end of the threaded rod. 4.6. Use a second wrench and rotate the installation tool nut clockwise until the balancer is installer onto the crankshaft. 4.7. Remove the balancer installation tool.
# Install the used crankshaft balancer bolt. Tighten the used crankshaft balancer bolt to 330 Nm (240 ft. lbs.). # Remove the used crankshaft balancer bolt. Important: The nose of the crankshaft should be recessed 2.40 - 4.48 mm (0.094 - 0.176 inch) into the balancer bore. # Measure for a correctly installer balancer. If the balancer is not installed to the proper dimensions, install the J41665 and repeat the installation procedure.

Why does my 91 Corvette sputter and shut off?
I had a similar problem with a 1989 Corvette especially at low idle like at a stop light. After much heartache and several mechanics left scratching their heads (including a GM Corvette certified mechanic), on slick mechanic determined that the torx bolts on the tune port manifold had loosened slightly causing an air leak which allowed more air into the fuel/air mix. Since this occurred after the mass air flow and other sensors, the computer could not compensate and it simply wasn't getting the proper fuel/air mix. Tightening the bolts to the specified torque cured the issue. He knew the torque requirements and unfortunately I do not.
