Its great to see that it is being kept alive, even if it is by us older guys.
And I also want to say that was a great project you and you son did with the trans am. Was nice to see a father and son share the same interests and hard work together on the car.

Great job

Kevin
Im only 27 and could easily have bought a c5 or c6. I love turning wrenches in my 84

Simply remove the four bolts of the gas door, remove the boot, disconnect the ground wire and the fuel lines and simply remove the sending unit. It would be wise to check the fuel pump as well as the strainer while your at it. One good thing about a C4 Corvette is that you don't need to drop the tank to change the pump and sending unit. Good luck!

Default Count me in as well.

This is great. Should be great for some nifty techy questions when we all come around to them. Thanks for starting this list. I have an 84, currently white that didnt run when I got it two months ago. Now, it runs, drives, and will be redoing interior and exterior as time allows. Next is the chase a steering fluid leak. guess I will try stop leak.

Has anyone had their instrument display refurbished? Who and how much did it cost? I can barley see my tach and cant see anything else. It looks possibly sunbleached.

Thanks all.

Believe you may be the only one Gooch.

I'll be a 10 year member in 9 years when I'm 64 - if I can still get in and out of the 36 year old vehicle then

To the '84 gang:

I was reminded one more time last night how special our '84 Vettes are.

While just randomly surfing the boob tube, I stumbled upon that British "Wheeler Dealer" show on our beloved '84.

Couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

Luv that episode

You forgot to tell him to remove the thousand 10mm headed bolts which seal the pump/sending unit assembly to the top of the tank.
