1. Are the D-36 rears interchangeable for all years of the C4?
2. Same question for the trailing and camber arms?

What valve are you talking about? Shrader valves are known to get weak and leak, but they are less than $1.00 and easily replaced. Of course you will lose whatever freon you have left when you change it out, so have an AC shop vacuum it out first. (You know, that Go Green and save the environment thing).

And also thinking about selling mine. As far as I am concerned shocks (or lack thereof) are why you are not staying 'planted'. I had Monroe's on for awhile and had the same issues. I went back to Bilstein standards and what a difference, no more problems. Now I have a set of Bilstein Sports coming in and have to decide which set to keep and which set to sell. I hate decisions, decisions, decisions.

I took mine off a long time ago, cut a piece ABS plastic aand glued it to each one, re-installed and no problems, nor $$ spent. Other than the TB by-pass the cheapest 'mod' I ever did.

I bought my 95 coupe because someone wanted my 97 Dodge pick-up so bad he offered a trade that was too good to pass up. He gave me the Vette and $400 for the pick-up, which had 214,000 miles on it. By KBB or NADA the Vette was (is) worth slightly more than twice what the Dodge was worth.
I wanted a C4 because I like everything about it. I would rather have it than a C5 or C6 and have no plans to make any changes, even if I hit the lottery. But I might add a 72-73 vert to the inventory sometime fairly soon.

Oops, should have said this before. Stupid move number 2 would be to wash the front of the engine down. New opti with dealer labor=$1200. Leaving number 3 up to your own ingenuity.

That has happened more times and to more people than you would believe. No reason to get a new Fob, get a spare door key and tape or wire it underneath where only you know where it is. Personally I bought and use a 'rescue locking gas cap'. The cap has a 3 digit combination and a hidden compartment where I keep a spare set of keys. Can't get to steal my gas or the keys unless you know the combination.

95Vert wrote: Fuses were ok. Changed from the 30A to a 10A but still no cruise control. This is important to me as when I take the car to Georgia, its an 8 hour trip. I've checked underhood. The box for the cruise control is the ASR(?) embossed one? Its got, what look like hard plastic lines or tubes coming out. Do not look like vacuum lines. If a new battery was installed, is it possible any of the lines could have been pinched, injured? I ask because the battery was replaced and I actually need to adjust that body panel as it is sitting crooked. ****The cruise control servo is directly above the battery, just forward of the PCM. One vac line coming to it from engine vac. The other line goes to a vac switch on the brake pedal. When the brake is depressed the switch on the pedal opens and release the vac, thus de-activating the cruise. Check to be sure you have vac going to the servo, and that the witch on the pedal is properly adjusted and not staying open. Body panel adjustment is easy, just two bolts on the bottom of the panel, one of them is slotted. Passenger side seat motor is moving mid range, slowly, but seat stops at the extremes of travel, both ends. The lumbar switches don't do anything except of a click/noise initially on pressing the switch. This is on the passenger side. If the DS/PS switch is moved to DS, same thing happens...the lumbar switch makes noise on the passenger side. Could the switch be fried? ****there is a little spring clip under the front edge of the seat cushion. Unclip it and pull the cushion up, forward and out. I would bet there is just 'crud' under there jamming the seat track. The air pump for the sports seats is under there as well, nothing under the driver's seat. It sounds like the switch is ok, something else is going on, but easy to check with the seat cushion out. Don't have a helms yet. Does it cover the seats? ****YES! ps--You are right, don't turn the ASR off until you have a big empty parking lot. Hope this helps. Oops-forgot, the cables coming in and out of the ASR are your throttle cables. There is also an easy way to check for full throttle response, but we will save that for another time, I dink I am getting carpal tunnel.

30A fuse is way big, if it isn't blown I would pull it out anyways, you sure don't want an in dash fire. There is an "F" shaped vac connector under the pass side fuel rail cover that is famous for breaking, which can cause lack of cruise and electronic AC control.

Welcome from another '95 owner. There should be a 'key' for the locking lugnuts. Also, if you look in the storage compartment behind the passenger seat you will find a complete RPO listing. Hope it came with an owner's manual, if not I would put that high on my 'need it list'.

Dan, the ground comes from the electronic circuit board and is a black wire. The power feed is pin "B' in the connector. I will get the FSM pages scanned and mailed to you later.

Wrong size tires for stock rims. Gotta wonder about this guy. 113K and that price? He needs to find a very wealthy village idiot.

I would think the parking brake is highly unlikey. On the other hand half shaft u-joints would be high on my list.

Stay away from ebay! I bought one several years ago and it lasted all of 3 weeks. Turned out it was a reman (I thought it was new). And I will never ever buy anything from partsladi again. They advertise hubs made in the usa and I even verified that with them before I bought them. When they arrived there is small print on the box saying components from India, Taiwan, and China. Then they would not give a full refund so I am still dealing with a 'dispute' with them.
Go MSD (vented and much better unit) or stay with AC/Delco from your local parts store. And no remans.

KBB says your car is worth $6060 in good condition or $5260 in fair conition. That is for a base 93 coupe, no options and at 230,000 miles. I doubt your parts are worth that much.

Why not check KBB and NADA and see what your car is worth, or even call your agent and ask him/her? Then with enough information you can make the right decision.

Here in Georgia comp claims do not affect your rates. For lack of better words they are generally considered "act of God" or in other words something that is not your fault. Everything is totally different (and weird to me) in CA, like a foreign country with all the odd laws you have out there. Oh well, to each his own.

Mine is lowered front and rear and with the Monroe Sensatracs (rated similiar to KYB by some) I had a similiar situation. When I went back to the standard (not sport) Bilsteins no more problems and the over all handling is very much improved. Yes, Bilsteins are considerably more expensive, but spread that out over the number of miles/months they last and the money issue becomes a non issue.
ps--by bottoming out I am not meaning any parts hitting the road, but the car slamming down so hard there was no more impact absorption left in the suspension. Hope that makes sense.

My wife and both daughters are adjusters for State Farm, and they are constantly amazed at how many people pay for insurance and never even know their coverages. "Full Coverage" actually means nothing, it is slang for I think I am covered since I pay a lot of money and my agent hasn't fully explained my policy. How the value of a car is reached in Georgia is by KBB, autotrader and Craig's list are also used to get comparisons on occassion. However, it will vary by state, just as State Farm will offer different coverages in different states, often necessary to comply with local laws, rules, and regulations. Many people do not even know what comp coverage is and what exactly it covers, nor how inexpensive it is to take comp coverage to a zero deductable. Bottom line is you need to talk to your agent, be sure he understands exactly what you want and see if he can meet your expectations for a reasonable amount of your hard earned money.
ps--If you are still making payments on any car be sure you have gap insurance (VERY IMPORTANT)!

OK! With the LT1 you must follow proper bleeding procedures to get the air out of the system. My 95 has one bleeder screw on the t/stat housing, your 94 might also have a bleeder on the coolant line, driver side of the throttle body. Take the surge tank cap off (tank by the windshield) and leave it off util you are done bleeding the system. Wrap rags around the bleeder screws to keep coolant from running down on the optispark. Start the engine, open bleeder screw(s) until coolant is starting to come out, close the bleeders. Run the engine up to operating temp and be sure the t/stat has opened and then repeat the bleeding procedure at least once. Keep the surge tank filled as you do this. When done put the cap back on the surge tank and you are good to go.

About 206,000 now. I understand they repaved "The Tail" last summer, but I havn't gotten back up there so far this spring. Sooooo many neat roads all so close by.

I ran Monroe Sensatracs for a while. They were OK, but the handling with the Bilsteins is much improved, so is the ride. My 'test' corner on Monroes max was about 35-38 mph, same curve with the new Bilsteins and 45 mph is no problem at all. Depends on how you like to drive, I like to push it hard.

That is not normal and will eventually lead to failure of the compressor clutch and possibly the front seal of the compressor. The excessive cycling causes heat build up in the clutch and excessive wear, the heat build up in the clutch can also cause compressor front seal failure. A good first check would be the binary/trinary switch (pressure protection switch). Pull the hsarness off the switch and using a paperclip by-pass it, if the rapid cycling stops then replace the switch, if not keep hunting.

If you mean the rocker panels under the doors they use what is known as a 'bathtub insert' and a small screw to secure the lower edge of the rocker panel to the frame. They are available about any auto parts store, look in the 'help' section.

Same here, I feel I could be the oldest tire changer on a Nascar pit crew in history. The 315/35s are a real thrill. Good to hear the new shocks are making a difference Dale. I had Monroes on for about a year, but went back to the Bilsteins a few months ago. I will pay the extra $$ for Bilsteins, but these should really last me forever.

Considering how many years and models GM put the 350 block into, including trucks, I would say your chances are right up there with hitting a MegaMillions lottery with one ticket.

He sanded the hood down to primer due to the number of stone chips, then reprimered it with a sealer coat. The rest of the car was your normal sand and paint. Then he went back with base coat/clear coat, with 5 coats of the clear. Followed by a wet sand job. The price was right because he is a friend and owns his own business. He did a very nice job for me and way below normal cost.

If it isn't holding 12.6V or higher then it needs to be retired and replaced.

Debris in the condenser will decrease the cooling efficiency, and also cause high head pressures and too frequent on/off cycling. Easy to check and clean if need be.

Do you have the J55 option? Mine does and stops great.

I am doing the half shaft joints and have everything broken down and have soaked the u-joint strap retainer bolts with BP Blaster. I plan to soak them down once more this evening and then again in the morning, then try to remove them an hour or so later. Nothing is broken and the job has gone amazingly easy so far, but these little bolts seem overly tight. Anything I have overlooked? I want them to come out without snapping or anything else goofy.
Thanks.

Also, the 92-94 have the GenI Optispark, the 95-96 have the GenII vented optispark. There are other internal differences, but I would have to pull out my book to list them. Like Case said pull the pan and if it is a two bolt main then it is not even a corvette engine. Hope you didn't get ripped off.

Be very, very carefull with the ASR turned off or your hood will be more than just shaking. Take it to a totally empty parking lot, turn the ASR off, get hard on the gas and turn the front wheels and you will experience a whole new sensation.

I got it back with new paint the other day:
[IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/andyminnich/100_0983.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/andyminnich/100_0988.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/andyminnich/100_0986.jpg[/IMG] I am well pleased with the quality. Now to just keep the pollen, bugs and dings away from it, at least for a little while.

It is called "A Pillar Weatherstripping" and Wilcox is the best quality for the money. Be patient in both removing the old and installing the new, and do not bend the retainer strips.
How did you even find a ZR1 windshield? Bet that was expensive.
