Hey man welcome aboard. Most of these guys have forgotten more than I will ever know about these cars. But I would offer a couple of brief pieces of advice as you learn about your car.

1. Make sure your battery is Grade A 100% and hot. And keep it hot.

2. If your map sensor hose looks like this


Go to www.jerrysgaskets.com and get the right part. These two things have and the largest effect on the drive-ability of my car.

3. Lastly, be safe. This car will hurt you if you aren't careful. Enjoy!

Question - I keep seeing these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-CO...eab01f&vxp=mtr
Listed as the "Owners Manual". But they have like 32 pages - which seems like too few for an actual "owners manual"? What exactly is in the hardcover books?? Would I need this AND the stuff like you listed in the first link as well??
That is a book that came in the "Pizza" box which were sent to the owners of cars in 1990 and 1991. Do a search to fid out more about the box.

The owners manual I bought for $50 on ebay is several hundred pages.

Yes, mine covers both, but makes the distinction as "VIN-8" (indicating L98) or "VIN-J" for ZR-1 specific pages, schematics, etc.

That would be stuffING....

Got the LT5 manual, the Service manual is ordered, and the high-mount brakelight was faulty so I had to get one of those to pass inspection... My A/C is also now converted to R134 and works great!

Have you replaced the stoplight already? If you did/do and the light doesn't work, it's probably the brake light switch. There's two of them on the pedal.

I had it at a local chevy dealer to get the State Inspection and the A/C fixed. It wouldn't pass because of the light - they took everything apart and had power TO the light but it wouldn't work. They determined that something inside the light is broken - which they can't get to. I'm gonna keep the old one and see if there is a way to fix it - seeing as there are no more made. But I gotta get it to pass inspection quickly. Thanks for the info!

If you lived in Maryland you could put historic tags on and do not have to do inspection or emissions. Only has to be 20 years old in our state.
