Default replaced the admiral




I finally replaced my admiral. What a battle. Amazing 80% C4's are autos I'm very excited to drop my 383 in this LS coil pack conversion C4 many parts to swap. New adjustable shocks, Mcloed pro street to hold this time. And non slipping diff clutch packs. Spring hurry up! I'm thrilled to be back.

Beautiful, mixed emotions on the stripe though.

Are those old gas pumps functioning?

Rick, thank you, stripe stays.
NO this is a used car dealer / garage. They have way to much money and time invested.
Besides I'm positive they are not compliant with today's regulations.
Just makes a great place for photo ops

Don't hate, but those hashes look like they're set way too far back.

Yes your right. They are about 5" off. The clone was already done before i purchased this in Nov. I have 2 spare sets. I will correct this with ease. Why would i hate. I can handle your critic review.

Beautiful car.

I had a '94 admiral blue 6M. Loved it.

Your window sticker is incorrect though. Theirs and the Corvette museum frequently get it wrong. The EPA highway rating is 27 not 25 as printed.

I have the original from my '94 that shows 27 and the EPA also reports it as 27. see link.
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calcu...umn=1&id=10622

I think the error comes because the ZR1 is also a 5.7 6 speed (25 mpg) and they simply pulled the wrong car for the data.

thank you, all for the nice comments.

Thank you, for the tip. More bad Info or placements out of my control.
how did they manage to mistake engine codes P,5 & J
I guess it now matches my true mileage. I was pulling about 24MPG well around 1/4 throttle anyways..

Interesting results according to a Data master scan, lowest setting 42 - 102 MPH
With following mods TB coolant eliminate, SLP cai, LTCC coils,
Res delete, generic mufflers, my PCM tune.
Wed weather permitting and 1/4 pull.



Then pulling this Stock LT1 to sell off.
