Re: Infinity Lube
The info in the advertisement sheet says "900 degree flash point." At the bottom in the fine print it says "believed to be accurate at time of issue."
MSDS says 270 degree flash point.
False...

Re: LT5-Powered 1958 Corvette Restomod
Aside from the horrendous headlights, they got rid of two of the '58s most defining features, the tail lights and the sail exit exhaust. I understand the want for restomodding (fuel injection, newer...

Re: Road&Track June 1990 - Mid-Engine ZR-1
I believe they started on the Indy (Later called the CERVIII) in 1986.
I personally think the Indy/CERVIII was a better looking car than this Bertone concept.
I've read that one of the...

Re: Corvette to become it's own "brand"
Aside from the original subject of the article, Sean Tucker needs to rethink his job as an author. Zora did not draw up, design, or create in any way- the original Corvette. This extreme flaw in the...

Re: 92 Tire Tube - How Much Weight Can It Hold ?
It can carry more than 30lbs... keep in mind it was indended to carry a front tire and wheel (Or just any regular tire and wheel on a non-ZR-1 C4.) This is why the "tracks" in the sides of the spare...

Re: Which coil pack do you have?
I have nothing against running the factory stuff, however you're the first person I've seen who said they had problems with magnecor wires. They do come with a lifetime defect warranty. I've had a...

Re: Which coil pack do you have?
My '92 had what appeared to be an original set when I replaced my injectors in '17. They all had cracked housings. I put MSD's in and so far haven't had any problems. After seeing this thread, I...

Re: EPROMS Deteriorate?
Yeah this sounds like BS marketing. I know it's not a ZR-1, but I've got an '87 Mazda RX-7 ECU with over 230k miles on it that still works like it was new.

Re: LT6 dyno runs
I doubt they'd waste the paper. If they do archive any data from a dyno test, it would likely be stored on a database.

Re: LT6 dyno runs
Seems highly doubtful.
These initial dyno runs are more for an internal final inspection and initial run-in, not for power output 'records.' They already know what the engine is supposed to make;...

Re: Chattering going into 1st/Reverse
The heat checking on the flywheel and pressure plate in your photos looks like it's only on one side. I bet if you put a dial test indicator on it you'd see a fair bit of runout. Either the flywheel...

Re: Throttle body uh-oh moment...

Don't get the wrong idea; it was pretty tedious and time consuming. It ate up what little free time I had this past weekend. It wasn't necessarily difficult unless you're impatient (which I've been...

Re: Throttle body uh-oh moment...
Upon further inspection of the throttle body, the wear on the pin wasn't the issue. I elected to leave the pin alone and instead concentrate on the throttle bores and butterfly plates where the...

I keep my remote in the console as well, clipped to one of the cassette dividers.
Anybody seen the new screw-drive openers? They're pretty nice.
