Buying c4

[adamsbomb]

Hello all new member, looking at buying c4. Anyway, can somebody tell me what year the dash went from the digital like in the 84-85 to the analog style. Also what year they got rid of the big lump over the glove box, (possibly an airbag but I doubt it). Looking for something in the 8k range just to keep it forum related. If anyone has a pic of an 89,90,91 dash they could post that would be helpful, or maybe a link.

Digital Dash 84-89
Analog 90-96

The big lump (Bread Box) was from 84-89
You can always replace it. I did.

Beg, borrow, steal or if you must, BUY the book "Cor-Vette Specs" by Mike Antonick, ISBN 0-933534-51-5. It will answer about all the questions you NEED to know before buying any C4. Best of luck!

Good advise, that book is well worth getting.

FYI
Had one problem with that book....
It spec'd the engine in my #'s matching 68 as a 300 hp (from the letter prefix).
The corvette black book put it as 350 hp (same prefix).
Checked with a GM dealer. It was a 350 hp. Don't understand the mixup in the book, otherwise it hit the options on my 68 to a tee.

I think you're confusing Antonicks' "Corvette Black Book" with his "Cor-vette Specs" book. Cor-vette Specs is only about C4s, '84-'96. All "spec" books are subject to errors. If something appears incorrect it's time to look for other sources.
