1) Reverse lights don't work. Bulbs are good, is there a fuse for it? If not, what do I need to look for?

2) How hard is it to replace the vavle cover gaskets?

1993 LT1.

thanks,
Justin

I had teh same problem with my reverse lights. All the bulbs were good, but I kept blowing the fuse. I systematically changed out and checked each bulb... it turned out that the passenger side side-marker backup bulb was the culprit. It would light, but then it would cause the fuse to blow. BTW, this is the most complicated one to get to. You need to remove the splash shield inner fender piece to get to the light fixture.

Hope this helps...

Same issue-different car ('91 L98)
I was told that there are some wires or something on the transmission that needed to be re-hooked-but I haven't ventured under there yet to try and find them.
Hopefully someone will be better suited to provide you with some details.

Best-
