Re: 1990 ZR1 from FRANCE
About the oil pressure. The plug is probably loose., as in, not completely on with a good connection. Check to see if the retainer clip is broken. Next time you start it pop the hood and push the plug down and then check your gauge. It should read what ever the sensor says it is when the contact is secure.

Nice looking 90 red/red Z 'neighbor'.
Are you in touch with other Vette owners in your country? Last edited by EuroPete; 06-27-2013 at 08:20 AM. |

Re: 1990 ZR1 from FRANCE
I almost missed these questions at the bottom of the pictures. Looks like you have the fastest vett in the pics.

Florida tag in France? That's odd.

Re: 1990 ZR1 from FRANCE
One thing I noticed is the intake duct. It appears to be partially collapsed. When warmed up is it soft and easy to squeeze. When I first bought my '92 that is the first thing I noticed in mine, under a heavy load it would try to squeeze closed. I fixed mine with a Coplan, but he no longer makes his, but I believe Haibeck makes some sort of fix for a collapsing duct.
Also if you are going to run at high RPM's alot, the next day prior to starting up check oil level. Jim |
