Matatk, Those would be 49th Street. They have been out of business for years. I searched about 6 years for a set and finally found a pair this winter in Texas. I always felt like GM just didn't know what to do with styling for the C4 rockersQuote:

I am in the process of doing mine right now. Master cylinder resevoir was cracked so I replaced that, replaced master cylinder seals and figure since I was that far installed Goodridge braided lines and am gravity flushing. Long process. I couldn't believe the scale crap that was in the bottom of the resevoir.

You can take the head out, pull it apart and clean the contacts inside.

That should easily take care of the this issue.


Yes it is an easy fix. Remove the module and open the case. It is like any push button electronics now days. Over time the contacts get tarnish etc and they don't make a good contact. Buy some electronic contact spray, spray it on a Qtip and clean the copper contact surfaces. Reinstall and you are good for another 16 years.

Yes that is a check valve. I would suspect for the cruise control or heater/ac. Without it you definately have a vacuum leak. I am not an L98 person but on the LT1 it is located under the fuel rail cover. Local auto parts stores normally stock these.

Now that she is all buttoned up I thought I should post a few more pics. The Bosch 3 Injectors from FIC are very smooth and responsive.

I was wondering about doing that to my 91's exhaust manifold until I can afford to buy headers. What problems do you run into when not running the heat shields? Do you have extra insulation on the plug wires that are near these manifolds?


For the time, effort and funds to coat the manifolds I wouldn't do it if you are planning to put headers on in the near future. As far as heat, this coating is rated to 1300 F and are coated inside and out which drops the manifold temp from 400-300 degress cooler than uncoated manifolds. The heat shields only cover the sides and warm air rises. So they don't do much for protecting wires to begin with. I will not know if it has any adverse effects until I start doing longer runs in the spring. I have standard 8.5 mm silicone wires and don't figure there to be any problems. You can almost put your hand on the manifolds while it is running. The ceramic coating channels most of the heat right out the exhaust.

It would be nice if all jobs were as easy as LT1/4 injectors. The manifolds look great.

Installed my Bosch 3 Injectors from FIC last evening. Only did a 15 minute run but plan on a road test today. Here is a pic of them installed plus I thought ya'll might like to see the Sterling ceramic coated manifolds.

I ordered yesterday and they were shipped yesterday. Great service ! Am going to install just as soon as they arrive. Thanks for the input.

The only problem will be covering these nice new injectors with fuel rail covers LOL

Have a couple of questions, 93 Corvette LT1 stock motor. Are 22# or 24# injectors the OEM rating?

I am looking at purchasing the 93j69 Bosch III matched flow injectors.

What makes these special for use in 93 MY only?

Thanks in advance and I will be ordering by the end of the month.
