They are great people to deal with. They are somewhat local, for me. They are going to allow me to mock up my automatic "C" beam with one of their manual beams so I can center punch mine to re drill it for a 44 conversion. I recommend that anyone looking for anything start by checking with Corvette Recyclers. They have new as well as used parts. Personally, I have never seen a 100% indoor wrecking "yard"(?)before. The place is amazing.

FWIW, when one of the wires broke off the tach filter of my '84, I simply bypassed the filter. The tach worked fine before and after.

My owner's manual shows the wheel base for the '84 at 96".
My 1984 Corvette Spec book says 96.2". RACE ON!!! Jim

That is true of a solid axle too. With the car on jack stands there is no traction and no action for there to be an equal but opposite reaction. I DO see and understand the point of the wheel bearing not being able to transmit torque back to the knuckle. Apparently I had it screwed up in my head. My main source of confusion is the wheel hop in a friend's C6. What do you say causes the C5 and C6 wheel hop? Quote:

I haven't figured out how to explain or illustrate it, yet, but I'm pretty sure they do. I understand the point about the wheel bearing. But there are wheel bearings in a solid wheel end also. Quote:
I don't think the pinion trying to climb the ring gear is the major force, here. Remember, the torque input at the pinion yoke is only approx 1/3 the torque at the spindle. If the bulk of the torque were at the pinion yoke, the "C" beam would be turned into a pretzel. I disagree about "tiny amount from the twisting/binding of the lower camber rod bushings." It is the dog bones connected between the knuckle and the frame(?) that take care of the reactive twisting. As a further example, look at the C5 and C6 with their upper and lower control arms like the front suspension. With no 4 link bars, traction bars, or what ever you would prefer to call them the C5 & C6 have major wheel hop problems. Especially when you increase the traction. Just like it does with a Hotchkiss suspension. Quote:
I would welcome that also. RACE ON!!!

My parts books show 1984 could use either a one or 3 wire device. 1985 - 1988 used separate senders and switches. 1989 and up all catalog a 3 wire, combined, unit. I have seen posts that say different. I don't know if the book isn't always right or if some posters have had changes made to their car. I have a friend with an '85 with no oil pressure switch. Of course we all know GM didn't build it that way. RACE ON!!!

What are you referring to as "uprights"? The knuckles? They "see" ALL the engine torque. In answer to "can an IRS have anti squat", I say yes. The quoted redrose is largely wrong. The comparison of the "C" beam to a torque tube is only partially valid. Regardless there still is (and always will be) a reaction for every action. With a Hotchkiss suspension the "action" is the tires clawing to grasp the pavement. The "reaction" is the banjo housing twisting in the opposite direction of the rear tires. With IRS, whether the diff is bolted to the chassis, like a C3 or there is a "C" beam like a C4, the "reaction" is mostly limited to the knuckles, because they are detached from the differential. The pinion rising on a Hotchkiss suspension is more the axle housing rotating backward in reaction to the torque at the tire patch than anything else. If not, the spindly, flexible, "C" beam of a C4 couldn't come close to controlling the forces. The reactive forces are controlled by the dog bones instead of a pinion snubber and slapper bars. Anti lift can easily be designed into the geometry of the dog bones. I think the engine torque, mostly being referred to here, is the engine rotational torque and the reaction, thereof, which is controlled by motor mounts and the batwing. In the illustration, the instant center should be where a line drawn through the dog bones intersect. That probably is where the point labeled "IC" came from but the line extending through the lower dog bone is omitted from the drawing, probably to keep the drawing from becoming too "busy". Also, I think it is interesting to note that, as drawn, the center of gravity is forward of the midpoint of the wheelbase. RACE ON!!!

An oil pressure reading of 80 psi is the max for the gauge and occurs with 90 Ohms resistance or more. Are you sure it hasn't just come unplugged or there is a break in the wire? The oil pressure sender operates with 1 wire. If your device has 3 wires it is a combined gauge sender and oil pressure switch.

Yes, but first, make sure you have an excessive current draw that is discharging the battery. With the computer and various memory items, a C4 can have up to a 50 milliamp draw. Before you spend time chasing a current draw, you should make sure your current draw is truly excessive. Also, poor cable connections can prevent the battery from fully charging. It may pay to check and clean all 4 battery cable connections.

That is an interesting engine parts combination. Although I have mentioned it to several people, I don't believe I've seen anyone using the short 5.565" rods, before. Those rods allow the use of more readily available (and sometimes cheaper) 350 pistons. Even the "Chevrolet Power" book specs OKs the .035" piston to head dimension. I have been thinking of pushing that, a little. RACE ON!!!

As you have noted, either Fel Pro number will work. There are others as well. Since it had a rebuild, you may want to inspect the old gasket for numbers, etc so you can make the best match with the other side. Also, before you put it back together, take the head to a machine shop to have it checked for warping. They can give it a light mill job if necessary to insure the gasket surface is flat.

I was thinking this might be something you could do yourself at home for little to no cost. Sorry, I wasn't trying to spend your money as so many people try to do. Also, I was thinking if you could increase the size of the chambers it would be better for your combination more than good for the comparo. Either way, best of luck. RACE ON!!! PS. I need a GOOD set of heads and a complete induction system. I am thinking of a single plane 4 bbl manifold drilled and fitted for injectors and a 4 bbl throttle body.

It sounds like you have the piston .015" down the hole. I wouldn't be happy with any more than a .045" quench, at the outside. How about doing some "unshrouding of the valves" in the TF heads to try to get the combustion chambers closer in size. Not only does this help the test, but it might make gathering parts a little easier too. Good luck. I wish I could help with the Visa problem, but I'm afraid I can't. RACE ON!!!

No doubt about the not smart enough part. I once worked for a supplier to Auto Zone. The returns we got were hilarious, sometimes. With one return we got a case of bathroom freshener spray. Midnight 85 is absolutely correct. But when the old parts are re boxed into the new suppliers boxes, it is usually the new company and/or mfg reps that do the work. RACE ON!!!

Those pin designations and locations are correct. "F" is the TCC pin, upper left, and "A" is ground, upper right. A switch connecting ALDL terminal "F" to any ground will activate the TCC. The brake pedal switch is N.C. and is on the positive side of the TCC solenoid. A manual switch wired in at the ALDL won't affect the brake pedal switch operation as the ALDL is on the ground side of the TCC solenoid. Also, the transmission, because of the hydraulic circuitry will not allow the TCC to engage in first gear. A good time to flip the TCC manual switch is after your burn out. The TCC will lock when the trans shifts to 2nd gear and stay locked until you switch it off, you step on the brake, or the trans down shifts into 1st gear. RACE ON!!!

That sounds right, because otherwise I imagine you would have raced with us. My first bracket finals, in recent history was in 1998 at the now defunct LACR. After that I went to: 1998 - Palmdale, Ca. - LACR, 1999 - Las Vegas, old track. 2000 - Sonoma, Sears Point (then) Infineon (now), 2001 - Las Vegas, The Strip, 2002 - Fallon, Nevada, Top Gun, 2003 - Tucson, Southwestern Quote:
Yes. I'm sure when the temps are 100°+ with the humidity close behind, things will change. The lowest track I ever raced was Sonoma, at 35 feet above sea level. RACE ON!!!

Todd, I vaguely recall meeting Gary. I think it was after the fact that you said you knew him. Do you remember which track he and I met at? Back in 2000 when I won that, I had just read the article for division 6 final in the ND and saw where the ROC champ was the division rep at Pomona. For a short while, I thought my win meant that I was going. Then reality struck. I went to 6 division 7 bracket final in a row. Great fun. I dropped out of racing for a few years. I restarted last year by running RMRs Street Legal Series. I had pretty well decided on racing the Summit Series this year so I could have a shot at going to the divisionals agan. I loved going to the divisionals and experiencing new (to me) tracks. RMR just sent out an announcement in the last week that they were no longer an NHRA track. They have signed up with IHRA. THAT changes everything. According to how I read the IHRA web site, that makes us the farthest west track under their banner. There is one track in Montana and one in one of the Dakotas and except for some tracks in Texas, no others west of the Mississippi. IHRA has a Summit series, but who, where, is in our division? A guy lucky enough to qualify for the finals would have to drive to Virginia. Bummer! RACE ON!!!

I have a fair number of trophies from bracket racing. My favorite is from the NHRA Division 7 Bracket Finals back in 2000. They hold a ROC, Race Of Champions, where all the track champions of of all the division 7 (Cal, Nev, Ariz, NM, Ut) tracks, in each class race each other. I won that race in the Sportsman class at Sears point (now Infineon) in Sonoma, California and got my first "Wally".

I guess I should check in more often. Zero DA doesn't have to be at sea level any more than 5000' DA has to be at 5000' altitude. Zero, or sea level DA occurs when the barometer reads 29.92" HG absolute, at 60° F, and 0% humidity. RACE ON!!!

What is the "IT" in "Now it doesn't occur"? "IT" can't be the slippage can it? Isn't the slippage the problem and the reason for the thread? Let me see If I understand correctly. The duty cycle must be the amount of time the ECM is calling for TCC lock up. That is an amazing coincidence that it is EXACTLY (90.19) the same in two different tests. With the DC the same and the slippage different, the conclusion I draw is that the ECM is calling for the TCC to be locked. I would run the test one more time with the TCC disconnected to see if the slippage matches. If it matches, chances are the converter isn't getting the hydraulic pressure to cause the lock. It could be a bad solenoid, a bad brake pedal switch, etc. If it doesn't match, then I would assume slippage in the converter clutches. RACE ON!!!

Actually physical altitude reading isn't part of the equation. The thinner air at higher altitudes results in lower barometric pressure. The barometer reading automatically factors in the altitude. Where I race the barometer never gets higher than 25" hg. A "standard" barometer at mean sea level is 29.92" hg.
I couldn't compare my weather station with the calculations of someone else, unless we were side by side. I don't have a way to input the numbers for it to calculate. It reads the conditions and reports both the conditions and the DA simultaneously. I believe there are some systems that have instruments that take readings and gives you a calculator and a formula. The Tag and the Performaire systems figure it directly then report the results. RACE ON!!!

I get DA from my weather station. There are a couple of problems with calculating it. The first is getting accurate, up to date weather condition readings. Conditions can change in an instant. Another problem is the formula. While there may be a scientifically correct formula, the different weather station manufacturers often use their own. Autotronics, the manufacturer of the Performaire that I use say that they use a proprietary formula that is better suited to how a race care reacts to weather conditions. The bottom line is if you are going to use the DA as a factor in putting a number on the window, make sure you use the same instruments or weather station all the time. Even weather stations of the same brand can vary.

It sounds to me like it is slipping while locked. I would verify that lock up is being called for and maybe even manually defeat the TCC and check for a difference to verify the problem. If there is no difference, you may just have a bad TCC solenoid. But if it is going into lock up and slipping, start shopping for a trans AND a converter, or manual conversion if you prefer.

Something I failed to mention previously. If you replace the converter and then plan to wait until the trans goes...Don't. If you think there is a chance that the trans will go, wait, bite the bullet, and do them both at the same time. Besides the double labor, shrapnel from one will contaminate the other. The converter is especially difficult to rinse and thoroughly clean out. Many trans companies void their warranty if you don't also install a converter. Whether there is a warranty or not, it doesn't make sense to do one if the other is soon to fail. Don't forget to flush the cooler and cooler lines at the same time.

I want to say thanks for all the kind words from all of you, both in this thread and in PMs. Although I wasn't spending much time over there, I will now spend it here. I don't know yet if I will ask them for reconsideration or not. It is more the insult, the injustice, than the suffering of any punishment. It isn't as if I have no where else to go, yet. I consider it, as some here have said, their loss. I'm sure they see it as just the opposite.
I have to wonder about all the permabans mentioned here and why I wasn't one, long ago. And in reviewing the CF rules as posted, here, I wonder if they are required reading for the moderators? I wonder too, if the admins ever think of enforcing them with their mods? Who can possibly guess what might be in their minds. The best to all here. Happy New Year. Thanks, and... RACE ON!!!

Bogus,
Thank you. Your link got me to the "Your Cookies Have Been Cleared" point. I'm not so worried about PMs in my box as I am wondering how anyone could receive a PM, as Redeasysport did, once they are banned. They must have lifted his ban, then left him the PM. Please let me know if and what you hear from MikeC4. Does anyone know how to reach Jim and/or Jesse? Is it worth my time to try to plead my case? RACE ON!!!

As I pointed out in MY thread before my rudeness, there had been a similar thread only days earlier. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have posted to that thread at all. Why is his, "Read much?" more suitable, acceptable, or politically correct, than mine? Especially since THAT is what he was complaining about. Then I posted: Quote: Originally Posted by MikeC4 No offense Mr. Moderator, but your avatar isn't exactly politically correct, and exudes an air of condesention on us all : "It's hard to soar with eagles when you post with turkeys."

Date the ban will be lifted: 05-31-2009, 05:00 PM I never said what the cure was. I never said who needed it. Apparently a smart ass doesn't care to be up staged by another smart ass. Who ever is running the show over there has cures (moderators) that are worse than the disease. I say if "It's hard to soar with eagles when you post with turkeys.", quit posting with the turkeys. Who needs you??? Redeasysport, Tell me how, if you are banned, you get a PM. Quote:
When I go to the site, it gives me the "Banned" message and nothing else. How do you check messages when you are banned? Also, I sent an e-mail to "Savewave". I assume he got it, but I've had no acknowledgment. Should I contact cor07vette myself? Do you have contact info? The more I read, it sounds like it is the police that need policing, namely old anvilcook. Does anyone know what may have happened to MikeC4? Obviously, I have no way to try to PM on the CF, and I don't have his e-mail address. I'm afraid that he got screwed, too. Thanks guys for letting me vent. RACE ON!!!

It isn't "hydrolocked". He has been driving it.

Now, It starts fine, it runs fine under a load but stumbles at idle and at coasting speeds. You can see the voltmeter drop from 2/3 to 1/2, 2/3 to 1/2 as it sits at idle or coasting. It's as if cylinder 6 is running tight.[/QUOTE] How do your think a cylinder binding (seizing?) up and maybe still running tight, relates to a stumble at idle and alternator output? I don't get the connection. Does the engine seem to suffer any symptoms related to cylinder wall or piston ring damage? Is it using a lot more oil since the event? RACE ON!!!

 Doesn't your FSM tell you what it takes to set the code? That, and the chart ought to lead you to the cause of the code. RACE ON!!!

It should all just be 1/8" pipe fittings. Substitute parts ought to be available at any hardware store.
