My '96 has a baffle in the tank.

Re: 1971 El Camino
Looks like a really nice find! How about some important details like engine, trans, mileage, etc.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Yep. She's very functional as long as I don't want to change the position of the seats. That's my last big thing and I'm not ready to tackle that yet. It requires a lot of disassembly of the console and the dash. BTW, I have been successful at setting up some modern audio recently. I installed a blu...

Cruise is fixed!
ODO: 105309 I started noticing the battery voltage was lower than expected so I ran some tests on it and they showed that it was going bad. It was a new Interstate battery from Costco in August. I returned it and got a replacement just in time for colder weather. I was reading some posts on the foru...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105204 C4 cruise control parts for the 96 are the same in most cases back to 1990. I've been checking out various points in the cruise system, but so far, no joy. I installed the dump hose from the brake pedal to the cruise servo. I checked the voltage from the cruise switch on the steering col...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I don't really think the vacuum hose will fix it. It's only for disengaging the cruise when I hit the brakes.
So if I need parts, I know where to go? I think it might be the same components. I'll check.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105163 I've decided to tackle the cruise control next. The first thing I saw was a very badly damaged vacuum hose going from the cruise servo the the brake pedal switch. As usual, this is not a trivial fix. It will take a dive under the dash. Oh, my achin' body. :( Anyway, I've got all the pane...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105147 Since Silvia is now running well at oem fuel pressure, I decided to remove the Aeromotive adjustable regulator and put the oem FP regulator back in to see if it changes anything. It didn't. She is still running very well. With the Bosch injectors, the drivability took a big step up and s...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105110 Since the Vette is running so well now, I decided to find out if I can tell if the stock fuel pressure regulator runs as well... and it does! I installed the stock FP regulator yesterday and she still runs like she should. I'm at the point now where I can now listen to the radio. Before ...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I've been wondering the same thing, BP. They are practically new, maybe only 1500 miles on them. It would cost me another $120 to find out. Maybe I'll just take my win and move on.
I've had them on my home made test rig. They sprayed fine. I just don't know how much gas they sprayed.

Accel injectors suck!!
ODO: 105036 In the last week or so, I've been driving Silvia and enjoying it, but the "BOG" "was" always there to remind me that there is still something wrong. I shouldn't have to run with 58 psi of fuel pressure. I've always suspected that the injectors might be the problem, bu...
