Also if you need someone to tell what the problem is rally fast call Gordon Killebrew at 1-800-398-3883 it will cost $10.00 per call plus $3.00 per min but he knows 1984-89, 1990-96 and 1990-95 ZR-1 when it comes to stock corvettes he's the man.

yes he worked for GM for 30 years. In 1981 he worked on the corvette line in bowling green as a repairman on the corvette line , so he knows his stuff.

Only if you have tons of $$$$$. Have a note pad ready, or a phone recorder would even be better. He will tell you what you have to do to find and fix the problem. You certainly do not want to pay $3 per minute while you are looking for the right screwdriver, searching for a dropped screw, etc.

This is true. He gets to the point , and yes you need recorder. You can find out were his next car show is and just ask him thats free. I saw him take a dash out for someone at the show and fix the problem.
