Fred, I spent a good 15 minutes in the Snap-On website and don't come up with a tire repair kit. I have a good one that I bought off the "auction site" for under $30 in a red "Snap-On" looking Delrin case.

they sell plug kits at most all autopart stores. Also, Sears make a nice small compressor. Just make sure you pack a set of good needle nose pliers. The patct kit is no good if you can't get the nail/screw out.

I carry a plug kit and compressor in my C5, have never used it on the 'vette though.
One day, a tire was down on my pick-up so out came the plug kit from the 'vette.
What a S.O.B. to get the plug through the hole. I used the rasp and cleaned the hole out real well hoping to enlarge the hole, still had to use a hammer to get the plug into the tire. Guess it's the steel belting in the tread area.
Not looking forward to using it on the 'vette!!!

My r/r tire kept getting low so i pulled it off the car to find a small nail, I had to drill the hole bigger to get a plug in there
no more air leaks now
