Default 1988 ABS Question
New to my 88 C4 and i noticed that my ABS pump starts for about a second then stops when I start the car...., Is this normal?

Technically you'll still have brakes but no ABS. Same as if you were driving an 85 or older in that situation. Just FYI

True, his brakes will work. He will suffer from severe frustration and a huge pain in his wallet sourcing the replacement part. If he is one of those guys that want everything to work on his Corvette, he is facing an uphill battle.
