Default Hello from DFW

Hello! My name is Alan. I bought my second Vette about a month ago, a white 1989 Auto. Looking forward to meeting a bunch of fellow Corvette enthusiasts!

Thanks! It almost done getting the engine resealed. All I need now is to buy a Vehicle Speed Sensor to stop a drip from the back of the transmission. Part is discontinued at work. Gotta go aftermarket I guess.

Thanks JW! The engine reseal got done last night. What a difference! I ended up putting in a new oil pump, hd water pump, timing chain, harmonic balancer. I think the timing was off or it had a vacuum leak when I first got the car because it had a very slight big on acceleration. Last night it had no bog, no hesitation. Throttle felt good, had instant rev's (no lag).
