Congratulations, Cliff!

Re: F/S 1995 Corvette ZR1 Torch Red/Tan #186
 

Congrats Cliff! You'll love the 95......

Re: F/S 1995 Corvette ZR1 Torch Red/Tan #186
 

Yes.........I just checked compression and got 215-220 on all 8 cylinders without TB plates open. Replaced all Plugs.

The vacuum check valve (drivers side vacuum) under the Plenum has failed so since I was going to do a top end tomorrow anyway (stainless steel bolts for Plenum/Coolant Manifolds) will replace that check valve. And since I am there.....will Block TB Coolant at injector housings and some other stuff.....maybe toss in my rebuilt Starter and New LT5 Plug Wires and new gasket on Crank Case Ventilation Cover....and..... :D

The 95' LT5 runs perfectly but there is a vacuum leak.

Your are correct Craig....something about the 95' ;)

Cliff,
Congrats on the new Z. I'm curious about her having both Dunns. Great buy! Yep, sonethkng about the 95's.

I checked with a mirror......about 4 inches from front of head just below Cam Cover on Exhaust side.
All 95' cars have the Dunn heads on the left side: #10225121
This 95' has the Dunn head on the right side also: #10225122

Re: F/S 1995 Corvette ZR1 Torch Red/Tan #186
 

not to get off topic, but who do you use for parts for this?

I need the diode trio and the regulator to finish my rebuild

Re: F/S 1995 Corvette ZR1 Torch Red/Tan #186
 

I got the Alternator on Ebay.

Do not know exactly which vendor but there are several......

Typical 200 Amp Alternator for ZR-1

I have not rebuilt Alternators for LT5. Have rebuilt Starters and almost everything else ;)

I'd think regardless of your needs you can be helped "locally".
