That looks "HOT". Gotta get me one of those hoods, I love the look.

B. More money, Better working conditions. Better location. No brainer to me. Wait for it.

KFC !Can't believe y'all eat that swill !

Thank you Andy. Thats why i went ahead and bought a new o2 sensor.

1993 vette, 90k miles. Threw a service engine soon light yesterday. I was right in front of Auto Zone so i pulled in and had the code pulled. Comes up as 65 on the DIC. Auto Zone book say low voltage to the fuel injector system, my book says right o2 running rich. Which is it ????

My 76 was the same way, the overflow side was almost beyond repair.

Send it down here, the guys in the shop will make that thing look better than new. Free of charge .

I sense a little aggression in your typing. Good to hear everyone escaped without injury. That hitch ball had to look as big as a basketball coming up your hood. You'll be back on the road in no time.

Pulled the fuel rail last night and #7 was stuck wide open and flooding the cyclinder. Looks like he'll be buying a new set. I will have him get in touch with Mekanic. Thanks gurus!

Hell I dont know him other than from the forum here but I'll chip in to help a fellow. Somebody start collecting !

Did a compression test on the left bank and all were 140 or better. Injector testing was my next step. Any good write-ups on injector testing ?

No I cant Andy. They used a scanner at auto zone and I only read the bank 1 , sensor 1 on the display. I didnt catch the actual code itself.

Friends 96 LT1. He has had the water pump and opti changed recently. Since then it has a miss after it warms up and smokes(black smoke) from the left bank. Since this started he has changed the Mass Air Sensor, plugs ,and wires. The only code it shows is Bank 1, Sensor 1. Today I changed the O2 Sensor for him and it still has the miss after it warms up. Any thoughts as what I should look for ?? Also when he changed the plugs the left bank plugs were shot but the right bank plugs looked like new.

Very nice ! Where did you get the valve covers.????

Have some bad swirl marks on my black 93 that I could use some expert advice on. Also you link wont open for me !

Wish I had known you were going to be in Georgetown, I would have sprung for steaks and beer !

Have a local place here called mid-state auto. Took my alt to them for a rebuild. Checked everything , put new brushes and bearings in for a whoooping $17.

Hmmmmmmmm How about shook it like a cheating vending machine ?

You ever sell your dads car ?

Shook the car like ya would a screaming baby and "POOF" the door unlocked. Thanks

Went out to drive the vette to the bank, battery was dead. I hooked up the charger and was sitting in the kitchen talking on the phone when i hear the horn blow. I walk out and the damn thing has locked the doors with the keys laying on the dash. Any good suggestions on how to get the doors open again ??? Thanks guys :: Mike Btw its a 93 !

Any good tech articles on replacing the rear pads?

1 barrel of crude Oil is 31 Gallons and 117.347 liters.

Bought the 93 in 1996, bought the 76 in 1978.

Miss Cynthia must like me , she sent me 4 PMs about her money !

Better to ask a dumb question than make a stupid mistake. Ive asked some stupid ones on here but thats how you learn. As far as everyone being intimidating ppppfffftttt what are they gonna do, EAT YOU ? Its the internet for Gods sake !

The first thing you should know is that hair removal is not my friend.
The particular talent of removing unwanted hair has eluded me.
True story.
All methods have tricked me with their promises of easy,painless removal - the Epilady, the standard razor, the scissors, the Nair, the EpilStop, and now
. ........
'The Wax'.
My night began as any other normal weekday night. I came home from
work, fixed dinner for my son and we played for a while. I then had the
thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next couple
hours: maybe I should use that wax in my medicine cabinet.
I set up my boy with a video and head to the site of my demise, um, I
mean bathroom. It was one of those cold wax kits. No melting a
clump of hot wax, you just rub the clear strips in your hand, peel them
apart, press it on your leg (or wherever) and ignore the frantically
rising crescendo of string instruments in the background. No muss, no
fuss. How hard can this be? I mean, I'm not the girly-est of girls but
I'm mechanically inclined so maybe I can figure out how this
works..........................You'd think.
So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each
other, stuck together. I'm supposed to rub it in my hand to warm and
soften the wax (I'm guessing). I go one better: I pull out the
hair dryer and heat the SOB to ten thousand degrees. Cold wax, my ass.
(Oh, how that phrase will come back to haunt me.) I lay the strip across
my thigh. I hold the skin around it and pull. OK, so it wasn't the best
feeling in the world, but it wasn't bad. I can do this! Hair removal
no longer eludes me!
I am Sheera, fighter of all wayward body hair and smooth skin
extraordinaire!
With my next wax strip, I move north.
After checking on the boy and verifying that he was, in fact, becoming
one with Bear and learning all about smells, I sneak into the bathroom
for The Ultimate Hair Fighting Championship. I drop my panties and
place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I then apply the
wax strip across the right side on my bikini line, covering the right
half of my vagina and stretching up into the inside of the right ass
cheek. (Yeah,it was a long strip.) I inhale deeply. I brace myself.
RRRIIIIPPP!!!!
I'm blind! Blind from the pain! Vision returning. Oh crap. I've managed to
pull off half an inch of the strip. Another deep breath. And RIIIP!
Everything is swirly and tie-dyed? Do I hear crashing drums? OK,
coming back to normal again. I want to see my trophy - my wax covered
pelt that caused me so much agony. I want to revel in the glory that
is my triumph over body hair. I hold the wax strip like an Olympic gold
medallist.
But why is there no hair on it? Why is the wax mostly gone? Where
could the wax go, if not on the strip? Slowly, I eased my head down, my
foot still perched on the toilet. I see hair - the hair that should be
on the strip. I touch. I feel. I am touching wax. I look to the
ceiling and silently shout "nooooooo!!" And realize I have just begun
living my own personal version of "The Tar Baby."
I peel my fingers off the softest, most sensitive part of my body that
is now covered in cold wax and matted hair, and make the next big
mistake - up until this point, you'll remember, I've had my foot on the
toilet. I know I need to move, to do something. So I put my foot down
on the floor. And then I hear the slamming of the cell door.
Vagina? Sealed shut.
Ass? Sealed shut.
A little voice in my head says "I hope you don't have to potty anytime
soon. Your head just might pop off." I penguin walk around the bathroom
trying desperately to figure out what I should do next. Hot water!
Hot water melts wax! I'll run the hottest water I can stand and get in -
the
wax should melt and I can gently wipe it away, right? Wrong. I
get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than is used to torture
prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment. And I sit.
Now the only thing worse than having your goodies glued together is
having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of a tub. In
scalding hot water. Which, by the way, does not melt the cold wax. So
now I'm stuck to the tub.
I call my friend, C, because she once dropped out of beauty school so
surely she has some secret knowledge or trick to get wax off skin. It's
never good to start a conversation with "So my nether regions are stuck
to the tub." She doesn't have a trick. She does her best to suppress
laughter.
She wants to know exactly where the wax is on the ass - "Are we talking
cheek or hole, here?" she asks. She isn't even trying to hide the
giggles now.
I give her the run-down of the entire night. She tells me to call the
number on the side of the box, but to have a good cover story for where
the wax actually is. "You know that if we were working the help line at
XX Wax Co. and somebody called with their entire crack sealed shut we'd
just put them on hold then record the conversation for everyone we know.
You're going to end up on a radio show or the internet if you tell them
the truth.
"While we go through various solutions, I have resorted to scraping the
wax off with a razor. Boy, nothing feels better to the girly goodies
than covering them in wax, sticking them to a tub in super hot water and
THEN dry shaving the sticky wax off!
In the middle of the conversation (which has inexplicably turned to
other subjects!) I find the little, beautiful saving grace that is the
lotion provided with wax to remove the excess. I rub some in and start
screaming "It's working! It's working!" I get hearty congratulations
from C and we hang up.
I successfully remove all the wax and notice, to my dismay, that the
hair is still there. So I shaved the damned stuff off. Hell, I was
numb by that point anyway. And then I put the box of wax back in my
medicine cabinet. Never know when a moustache might start to come in.
Tonight, I attempt hair dying




OMG!!!!

That is exactly why I call my vette the "HOOVER". It sucks up everything on the road .

Worth looking at and the price isn't out of line .

Brut gave you great advice. Watch out for bad birdcages and also, if you can pull the kick panels and look at the body mounts, in my experience this has been a good place to find bad rust. Last C3 I helped a guy find we traveled to Sandwich Illinois. For a small town that place has an abundance of old muscel cars and vettes.

Guy that works for me has a 76 in beautiful shape, asking 8K for it. white with saddle interior, L48 auto. If you think he would be interested gimme a shout and ill get some pics for you.

Pads are hawks, tires are pilot sports, maybe 5 months old. Did the break in on the pads as directed. Master cylinder is good and booster seems ok. Pedal feels fine, just seems like its very slow to stop. My 05 Mustang GT has ten times better brakes. Sounds like maybe the C5 upgrade would be a good idea.

Do all C4 brakes suck or is it just mine? New pads, new rotors and it still seems like I have to stand on em to slow the danged thing down .

Super Hard Bonus Question:

This question is open until 10:00PM PDT!!!! At 10:00, I will lock it! First one with the right answer(s) wins!

================================

Three-part question:

The first Corvettes were mainly distributed for celebrities and GM execs. But a few did make it into the hands of consumers. This question is about just those Vettes:

Who was the dealership that delivered the first consumer Corvettes?

Where (city and state)?

Who bought them (not specifics, but the family Kerbeck , Atlantic City ,NJ , Ingle

Sounds like a good idea. I spent today pulling the heads on the C3. Now to get the engine out and rebuilt. You run out of things to do I have plenty to keep you busy .

Received mine today, now to wash the bird crap off and put one on the back window. Thanks Tamiza .

Well what would you like to talk about?? Ever get your gas tank problem solved ??

Best i can do . [img width=150][/img] [img width=150][/img][img width=150][/img]

That castrol may go down a bit hard !

Kinda gives you that puckered feeling when you see "account suspended ". Like what did I do this time ??

Ive heard that before or a very familiar sound. Had the electrode fall out of the end of a spark plug in a 396 chevelle, I swear it sounded just like that. Hope ya find it soon.

Well it was worth a shot. Ill ask in the next club meeting and see if anyone may have or know of a good early model tank.

Not quite as simple as cutting hog rings. There are wires that help form the seat. These will have to be taken loose and retied on your new frame !

Your Welcome. I'll pm you my phone number, if you have any questions gimme a call ! If you need pics of it Ill be glad to take some for you .

Brut! Bad news, Good news. I cant locate the new tank that was in the upstairs of my garage, thats the bad . Good news is i did ask a guy that works for me about a tank and he has one that is really in good shape from a 77. He said i could have it , so if you can use it its yours.

If I still have it its gonna be real expensive, say lunch at Cracker Barrel.

Brut, lemme check the garage, I had a new tank a guy wanted put on his 76. If its still upstairs your welcome to it. Im at work tonite so it will be 2moro before i can look for it.

Anyone have any experience with chrome C5 wheels from Original Equipment Reproductions ? All the loacl dealer can show me is pics from a catalog.

So that should drop the pump price what ,like 3 cents ?

Sounds like you finally found a good mechanic. Dont let him get away !
