If you take an L98, and put an LT1 conversion intake on it, does it then become an LT1? I know the answer to that, so what makes it an L98? THe only difference I can see is the intake, and opti, with minor other differences. I have heard something about a 9th injector on an L98 though. Just curious.
THanks,

9th injector? Seriously? I have an'84, so know just about nothing about the L98. What does the 9th injector do?

I love my '84. The engine is one of the most reliable parts on my car!

Thanks. At this point, all that is on the compressor itself is a metal cylindrical part with a little lip. The plastic bit that appear to be part of that metal part is broken off. The other half of the plastic part (that is attached to the wiring harness) is intact. Can I remove that metal part and get a new one?

Does anyone know what part # 10007057 on the AC does? I think this is a switch on the back of the compressor. Mine is broken, and I am trying to figure out if I can replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Removal isn't that tough but I wouldn't do it just to install the drain, not that hard to do it in the car and steel_blue_91 had a great suggestion to use the fuel line as a drill stop. You need to remove the exhaust, rear spring, rear toe link assembly, unbolt the camber bars at the differential and swing them down, unbolt the driveshaft and both half shafts and remove the rear bolts from the support beam, finally the two bolts attaching the batwing to the frame. The assembly then drops out, but you will need to remove the cover bolts to separate the batwing from the pumpkin. I'm sure someone will remind me if I missed anything.


Your definition of easy is a little more liberal than mine. I just got done replacing the rear hub/bearing units, so I know what a PIA some of that stuff was to get off, and I don't even want to think about how rusted the bolts on my exhaust must be. I am dealing with a 1984 Corvette with 180,000+ miles, and as near as I can figure, a sketchy history. I also only have jack stands to work with. It may be heresy, but I think I will take my chances with sucking out what I can after running the car for a little while. It may not be optimal, but it will sure beat doing nothing. Thanks all for the input.

Gotcha! So really, rotating the gears is the important part. If I have the rear end up on jack stands and run it in gear with the wheels off the ground, would that accomplish the same thing?

I am going to be changing the fluid in my rear differential. I have the limited slip additive, and two bottles of 80/90W Mobil oil. The GM additive bottle says to change the oil when it is warm. Is that necessary?

It's not exactly spring up here in Maine, and the "paved" roads are like something from a 4 X 4 course!

I like Jack, so I'm not even going to watch. What makes politicians think getting an endorsement from an actor (how smart do you have to be to be an actor, anyway?) is such a great idea? On second thought, I think actors and politicians have a lot in common. As a rule, they both think they are more important than they really are, and they both act like someone they are not, and get paid handsomely to do it!

I'd like to see any pictures people have of modified 1984 air cleaners. I have seen some super powder coated cleaners. Has anyone out there polished one? If so, I'd love to see pictures, and a description of how you did it.
