Re: Which battery do you have?
I'll give that one a try. I've never had a battery last 3 years on any Corvette I own(lack of use). I'll pick one up tomorrow and swap 'em out for free every couple years.

Re: Which battery do you have?
I've had horrible luck with batteries. My Z doesn't get driven much so the "sitting in the garage" does a number on batteries. It's common knowledge among anyone and everyone who has worked within...

Those Accell coils are garbage. They made my car run like complete crap, backfire, etc.

Re: Got it running -- hesitates when cold
Mine has a slight hesitation at first startup and goes away as the car warms up. I'm almost positive it's from pulling the plenum so damn many times over my 4 year ordeal that ended up being the...

Re: 1996 ZR1 ???
Yep, bingo!
It was showing up on the dealer sale tomorrow as a DOHC 5.7L V8. I did a VIN decoder on it and it also showed a DOHC 5.7L V8. I looked up a few LT4's and found similar VIN's..........

Re: 1996 ZR1 ???
Now that I think about this. I'll bet it's an LT4 and the VIN decoders are just pulling it up as and LT5. We'll see for sure tomorrow but I'll bet that's the story.

Yes, I found out this guy up East is misrepresenting these coils as new. They are just take-offs from who knows what. I bought a set from him and promptly sent them back when I found out what he...

Re: 91 ZR-1 Cutting Out Under Load
Yes, Summit took them back. I'm using new GM plug wires, think they're 8mm. I think the problem with the Summit/Accel coils was the 2 connection slots. They were too lose, didn't squeeze the...

Re: 91 ZR-1 Cutting Out Under Load
I may have figured out the difference between the GM D545 vs the GM D555 coil. The D545 lists for 70 cents more than the D555. It looks like the D545 comes with a little rubber gasket a hair over...

Re: 91 ZR-1 Cutting Out Under Load
Very common. GM D555 or D545. I have no idea what the difference is between the 2 part numbers. It's the same coil as used on almost every GM V6. 3 coils on the V6, 4 on the ZR-1 V8.

Re: 91 ZR-1 Cutting Out Under Load
Spades wouldn't even fit up in those tiny slots. I did however use some wires.

Re: 91 ZR-1 Cutting Out Under Load
I tried but couldn't get my volt meter terminals to fit up in the slots and get any kind of a reading. I might try sticking some wires up there tomorrow and read off the wires.
