Awesome! Thanks for finding that. Every parts store I showed the pump to was clueless and I couldn't find the part no. Duly ordered and hopefully my Vette will live again.

From what I'm seeing, later C4s had a two wire plug which mates with the Delphi pump perfectly. Early C4s (possibly '84-'87) used two separate wires with spade connectors. I'm guessing they don't...

Thanks! I read the fine print and it did say no pigtail was included. Filter socks aren't always included either, something that always came with pumps BITD. My local Advance has the sock but I'll...

Fuel pump replacement, electrical connections

I bought a new Delphi fuel pump to replace the original pump in my early (iron head) '86. The pump electrical connections are different. The original pump has two simple spade connections (one hot,...

Had a warm day today so I got the car out to check it over some more. Plugs look good as does the cap and rotor. The wires, which were properly routed, don't seem to have any bad spots either. I did...

My '86 is suffering from a stumble (un-drivable above idle) issue. The car has about 97,000 on the clock and other than consumables like fuel filters, air filters, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, etc. over...

Before the pandemic, C6's, in general, ran about $24,000 for an example with 30,000 to 40,000 miles in my local area. Now that same money buys you a C6 with 75,000 miles. I'll probably pass as most...

2005 C6 questions

Being a long term C4 owner, looking a C6s as a newb, I found a 2005 with under 20,000 miles for $28,000. Along with asking the usual "is this a good deal?: question, are there specific problems that...

Another key concern is the frame and birdcage condition. A badly rusted birdcage could turn a good looking potential project into instant junk.

Frames in the northeast

Is it possible to find a '74-'79 C3 for under $10,000 with a decent frame/birdcage in PA nowadays? These cars aren't getting any newer and the northeast is stereotypically hard on metal in the...

The budget would be 5k-10k, $7500-$8500 probably optimal. I'd prefer stick, but can easily swap in a four speed if need be. A solid frame and birdcage is more important than what transmission it...

'74-'77 vs '78-'79

I've been thinking about C3s lately, stepping back from my dream of owning a steel bumper car (not going to happen) and looking at later models. I prefer the looks of the '74-'77s, both inside and...
