Re: PROPER FAN TEMP. (RUSS105)

230 is correct for an '84, but check this out--my car used to continually run up to 230 and back down to about 220, I figured it was normal. Then my half bolted on/half zip-tied on air dam came off....

Re: Rear Main Seal on 84??? (byte_me)

I've been through this on my '84. You might want to check your oil sending unit (it's up near the distributor) first...it can leak oil right into the area you're mentioning.

The other thing to...

Urethane or Fiberglass?

I'm getting ready to replace the very wavy original front and rear bumper covers on my '84. The options are, as I understand it, fiberglass, True-Flex Fiberglass (which, i'm told, is still fiberglass...

Re: 84 corvette and cooling temp !! (GOBABYGO84)

The only problem I've had with my '84 was a loose hose clamp that was allowing coolant to leak out. Once I fixed that prob, it hits 230, the fan clicks on, and it goes back down, regular as...

Re: Reeves Calloway has gone INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*89x2*)

You do make a valid point. Editing—you called it polishing—is a standard procedure. I may be splitting hairs here, but I take objection to the word "enhancements." It seems—at least to me—to imply...

I understand, Ted. But rumors can be a harmful thing, as most of know. I just wanted to make my position on this particular rumor clear.

Re: Reeves Calloway has gone INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*89x2*)

And I stand by my statement that you're wrong about the "enhancements" thing, and ought to think before making such a claim without evidence. Otherwise, thanks, and glad you enjoyed the piece.

Re: Reeves Calloway has gone INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Bigvmaxx)

All of your questions about what RC said are valid. I don't contest any of them.

Your idea that I could have segued into talking about the LT5, asking the questions myself, is also valid....

Re: Reeves Calloway has gone INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Kale)

Well, not to be rude, but you are missing a few things. The part about not liking the interview is not a problem. Read what was said about me personally—there's the problem.

And we could have a...

To be honest (it's better than trying to keep track of my own BS), I know someone who knows someone...well, you get the idea.

Re: engine oil cooler (EvanLT1)

OK, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I have to bring it up again: What's the consnsus on using synthetic oil in early C4s? My '84 is showing 99-1/2K on the odo, and is oil tight. I know synth...

Re: Best Place to Buy an Auto X-Ray? (emoshn)

Mid America has it for $199.99.

Could you elaborate on the shorthand specs? The numbers you're quoting are right in the neighborhood of what I'd like from my X-fire. Thanks.

Re: (Raysur)

I agree that it sounds like 3.07s. If your cars's build sheet is missing, you can buy a copy of the factory one (and a window sticker, too) from the National Corvette Museum.

Re: engine oil cooler (Bob86ZZ4)

I agree with you on the autocross deal. My other concern, however, is Silver State-style open-road racing, which means 90-plus miles at triple-digit speeds, and the occasional open-track...
