Stuck a HP dual core radiator in my C5 last week, plus a little gizmo that turns on the high speed fan by remote. Running nice and cool now even in blistering heat.

C-5 blazer? if so did you add a trans cooler as well??? my buddy says, it helps keep the trans fluid from cooking if you do a lot of trails.


C5 Corvette, manual trans. Next week I'm putting in Ruthenium plugs and 8mm wires. It's never seen dirt roads.

Ah.. should have guessed.. based on you referring to it as a car.. never owned a vette.. I like steel bodied cars, my self. my fox body T-bird is the lightest one I've ever owned. that was not an import. and it is extremely thin skinned. with too much plastic 302 w/ 8 port rail fuel injection. has the open hood scoop hood (like the turbo/super coupes had), and rear spoiler.
as I mentioned earlier, it's a pretty rare car.

I miss my '71 Coupe DeVille.
Nice, smooth ride.



dint the DeVille have self leveling air suspension??.. I cant remember. seams there was something about it , that made them ride like you were on a cloud.
my monty's have heavy duty sway bars..and wider tires. they can out corner a 73 nova on a clover leaf. for as long as they are, they are extremely well balanced

I go to car shows from time to time. One year in Idaho Falls, the summer car show was featuring Corvettes. Every year of Corvettes were featured, at least one or two cars. There were probably around 200 cars.

hi Cat,
I dont know how I missed your reply. I went to a local corvette rally. last month. there was a few super rare 65-68 sportsters (road racers) as the guest of honor. I dint have my camera. as usually it's just the same general mix of vettes. so I dint expect to see them there. there was only about 75-100 vettes represented. but it was still a really good show.
