Pretty sure I know how I want to do it. Have had the doors apart several times but want to check in with you guys that have done a window R&R for any tips I might not have thought of to makes sure it goes smoothly. I am thinking of getting the window to where I can get to the bolts and mark and measure a line on the old one to transfer to the new one with grease pencil to get the alignment correct. Sound like a plan?

I think I found the answer the glass is the same the tint is not. The salvage yard I talked to said the difference is " night and day" between a bluish tint (early) and brownish tint (later) I am planning to tint the window anyway geeze decision, decisions....

Aw crap wonder what changed and how the regulator stays the same?

Thats what I though I have a line on a scratch free one but he was told it will not fit. Is there someplace that can cross match it?

I have some conflicting data and want to know if a 89 door window will fit a 93? Is there some place that can tell me for sure?

Got my new injectors in and they match up to the OEMs very well got my milage back to normal. Jon did a match to my OEM on his flow bench and got everything right.

Quote:

It Depends on the year I think. I am working with Jon right now on the 92-93 LT1 injectors I have a little issue and he is sending me another set to try out. Will post the results after I get them in and scanned.

If your speaking Crossfire they do a rebuild of them.

Technically I got "Moderated" I was able to read and access my PM's but not to post or edit without moderator approval.I tried posting but nothing ever got approved so I pm'd the admin with my previous. I was on "Moderation" till 1/31. Like I said his responce to me was "Apparently you cannot appreciate my sarcasm." In his next PM he refered to what I suppose was CFI as someone with a less than stellar reputation since you got banned and not Mike.

Mike did not get banned.

Well come to find out the guy who actually attacked Iron Chef(aircraft engineer?) did not get booted just me did CFI get booted or not? I must have friends in high places watchin' me. It is getting tiring over there unfortunately C4's are getting so cheap any moron can own one and they all seem to show up there.Too bad most of them can't read,write or work on a car. JK of course.

Bogus if they did not want you there then why do they still use your sticky? Too bad you can't pull it or delete it that would be interesting.I know how much you and some of the other guys put into that.

As far as the mods go none own a C4 and look to be shine and show guys to me. Iron Chef has his Lloyd Floormats in his mod list

I wonder if I will get banned over there for posting this.

O h Boy I just got a PM and they are willing to lift my ban if I agree to be a good boy and follow the rules.

Funny thing was when When Iron Chit banned me he included a note saying apparently I could not appreciate his sarcasm. Absolutely I cannot it is not his place to act like the people that he bans.

Well I got my second vacation from there now for my comment. First one was after someone came out of nowhere and started calling me names all I said was "Right back at ya pall" Iron Chef got me then too.
I did PM the admin about Iron Chef and his "rude" location and his smart azz reply to CFI. Here is the responce

CFI-EFI is a long time member and those of us who know him know he has a sardonic wit and gets to the point but he knows his stuff as good or better than anyone on this forum. For Iron Chef to come into this thread and post back to him in the exact same way is very unprofessional as well as the point Mike made about Iron Chefs own sarcastic location that basically denigrates all of the other members. I find it a little hypocritical and this is not the first time he has shot from the lip. I do not believe anyone in the thread was out of hand and needed to be banned. That is why the authors of most of the stickeys are no longer here Mods who do not know the people they police and make arbitrary decisions without warnings. A little warning goes a long way if boundries are crossed and sarcastic Mods punishing others who are sarcastic does not make sense to me. Thanks for your consideration.


Oh I also see I am no longer allowed to edit my posts what if I make an error? This is just wrong.

I have looked into this as promised, and I expect that you will hear from Moderator "Iron Chef."

Please understand that he was not acting inappropriately to take action against members who openly criticize our volunteer Moderators.

While I don't feel that your open comments were as aggressive and challenging as the other two members in the thread, they were still better left unsaid and violated our forum rule regarding "Complaints and Suggestions."

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/foru...ggestions.html

In the future, when you see open comments that criticize or openly challenge one of our Moderators, I would rather you send a report post notice to the Moderators by clicking on this icon:


and avoid any level of participation.

I have left any subsequent action in the hands of Moderator "Iron Chef," since it not my practice to overturn my Moderators unless they are blatantly incorrect.

Can I play here for a while? I promise not to poop in the cat box.

I don't think it was the battery per se but the process of taking it out and replacing it must have reset the fault that the radio had just like it resets other things when the battery is disconnected. Just a nice suprise and something to remember for others when the Bose goes.

Put the new battery in got 12.5 V now and got an added benefit. I mentioned sending my Bose out. It did not read the stations right nor allow me to set any of them. The CA In light was on all the time so I figured the switch was stuck inside. Since the battery replacement IT WORKS PERFECT. It even reads CDRs. Happy day I saved $200 and did not even have to change to Progressive or Gieco.

10-4 was going to measure it tomorrow and get a quality replacement while I wait for the tensioner and belt to get here. I will be glad when I get to the end of this refurb on this car. Always something else popping up but I should be done with it all by June. Most of the mechanical stuff is nearing an end (except for the freakin heater core that just started leaking).Still got some cosmetics left. Did a new Partsladi console today. No Dulso but it looks like it and I am pleased. I was able to buy a GM NOS door bezel and am going to save that part for the final crowning. Still have to send the radio off to Dr. Don replace the chime ( I got one waiting) and have a new rear Bumper that is the correct color waiting for pick up. Mine has a bulge above and below the third light as well as 2 tone paint they re painted the top and the bottom looks like crap. My new bumper is 90% perfect and needs a little spot touched up. I will be bored soon enough but then the opti will probably bite it....

I am looking for tips on removing the door belt molding. I know remove the bolts and either go inside the door or pry the clips up from the outside are the 2 ways to do it. Which is best? I really do not want to go inside the door especially since you can't get to all of them without un bolting the regulator. Any tips on the outside removal?

I agree I am thinking 11.5 after 24hrs is not a good thing. I see the previous owner used a channel lock on the positive cable rounded it so I am going to replace the lug and take a good hard look at the battery. Might be time for a replacement. It should read over 12V correct?

That thought enter my mind too but here is what I found today.I went and did some more testing. I used the analog gage last night ( I know better DUH) but today I used the digital. With lights off it drops to 12.2V from ~14.2V with lights on it drops to 11.8V. I did notice the battery reading 11.5V before start up with the key on. So I guess it rules the ground out. Seems a little low on the battery to start and I am leaning more towards the belt/ alternator as the cause.

How about this question? How much belt deflection should you get between the AC and Alternator? Should the tensioner be able to move and how much? I think I get around 1 1/4 inch deflection downward there and I am able to move the tensioner up 1/4 to 1/2 inch in the process. Seems to me it should be tighter in that spot.

No not sure where it is coming from but on my last car the exact same thing happened when my ex mechanic fubared the WP seal install but it was a lot more oil. Still wondering whether that will cause belt slip. I hear ya on the voltage I was suprised to see it drop that low but I am not sure how many amps the engine sucks up at 5k rpm. Battery is new and hold a good charge. It sorta acts like a 5k short but that doesn't make any sense.

Hi guys long time no see. I am back in another 93 and working on getting the kinks out of it.What happens is when I mash the pedal once it hits ~ 5krpm my electrical voltage drops.It is not as noticeable in the day time but at night with the lights on it drops to ~9V on the gage and tonight for the first time the battery indicator flashed in the DIC when it happened.

I had a Corvette forum member suggest that alternators can drop voltage due to contact lift off at high RPMs but this is ridiculous.Engine stumbles when it happens at night. I have a receipt from the previous owner of 2 rebuilds on this alternator. Maybe it is just bad. First though I am replacing the belt and tensioner. My theory on it is as the rpms ramp up the belt lifts off of the alternator pulley via centrifugal force. I need an extra belt anyway and maybe the tensioner is weak they both play a role in keeping the tension on the pulley.At lower RPMs the Volt gage reads ~14V.

I also have a weepy WP gasket I get a little oil on the hood after a good romp but nothing a quick wipe does not clean up. I am not sure if it is residual oil from the intake I re did last week. I cleaned up as best as I could but it was a mess and I see no leak there anymore. I am not sure whether a little oil being flung off the belt ( that is where it gets on the hood just above the AC and alternator) is enough to cause slippage or not.

So does anyone have any thoughts? Has anybody had this problem?
