Back again,
Purchased starter, getting ready to install, I am concerned about the best way to raise the front to install the starter, doing it at home . I do not want to damage anything, appericate all the help i can get. This is a 1996 corvette, LT-1, automatic.
Thanks
jojo

should be able to see little triangle indicators on the outside of the rocker panels, use those as a guide, making sure you don't hit the fiberglass floor plan or any fuel/brake lines,etc...
