I have an '87 with 48K on it. As long as the car has been treated with respect I would say go ahead and get it. If your looking for raw power this may not be...
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT CAR. for the yr and miles, 15K is a good price. its worth 8K in the midwest becasuse a space shuttle would only be worth 20K...
I bought my '87 about 11 years ago. Most of the "bugs and gremlins" from the early C4's were worked out, and it doesn't have the problems of the later C4's...
'87 is a good year. The car benefited from evolutionary changes from the last several years. The L98 is a good engine with the potential to last a very long...
I've posted this request on several Forums but still trying to narrow down the problem/solution: This problem right now is OCCASIONAL but could become chronic...
Yes not good at all. Try using the E-Brake or are even using the E-brake ? Next time set the e-brake and put it in Neutral to see if it starts and also...
tony5833, I don't think I have ever used E-Brake. That will be worth a try. Right now the car is sitting in my driveway (on the incline) and will not start....
had the same problem with my 84 after it was stolen,when I got it back it would not start,but my amps read around 11 like yours,so I took the starter off,had...
Looking for some info from anyone who has installed a after market throttle body on an L98. The shaft bushings on my 85 are shot causeing a vacuum leak and a...
I have a BBK throttle body on my Lt1 and it performs great! You should have absolutely no problems with your L98. The OEM bore is either 46 or 48 MM, I can't...
Hey Chuck, It could be, the only reason I said to use the e-brake and shift it into neutral was because of what you have been doing before and I would still...
Regarding the VATS, if you use your regular key and it doesn't work, switching to another key won't work until the system resets - this could take 15-20 ...
I haven't heard anything negative regarding BBK throttlebodies. If your car is bone stock, I'd stick with a stock throttlebody - I think they are 48mm, but I...
Didn't think about the reset when switching keys!!! Another forum suggests that it could be the battery. I have had the car 3 years, never changed the batt,...
I have a friend who has a 84 fore sale if anyone is interested contact me for pictures and price I dont hink Im allowed to post pictures of it here I believe...
thats the trans safety switch under the shift panel where the stick is. the switch prevents the engine from starting when the car is in gear, and its out of...
if you ever plan on doing ANY upgrades, such as exhaust or chips, go ahead and get the 52mm BBK. do NOT get the 58MM/....thats way too big for a motor thats...
With 11.7 volts, my bet is going to be that there is corrosion in between the battery post and battery. It will only be seen when the post is disconnected from...
greg, the hidden corrosion issue is as real as the price of gas ! i went thru the same stuff once, replacing the alt, the starter, and was attempting to remove...
Speaking of running without an alternator... I had spun the bearing in my alternator at the race track. My evening concluded and it was a Sunday evening. I got...
I have a 93, I replaced the bushings in the delron gear because the headlight will turn sometimes and usually will flop half open and move freely if you push...
I went with a larger throttle body and dropped 5 bhp on the dyno. I didn't recover until I had the manifold and heads extrude honed. I would stay with stock...
oh man..i wrote about this exact thing some time ago and warned anyone that did it themselves, to carefully note the position of the contacts on and around the...
thats what i was trying to say, if there were some mods in the near future, go ahead with the BBK 52mm, but do not expect any gains until other things are...
OK Lee, What's the situation if the motor wants to keep running when the headlight is closed? Is this switch something I can find to replace or repair or am I...
Well folks, it cost me a bundle but the problem ended up being the starter. An old mechanic trick was to bang on the starter (what you can see of it on an '87...
Thank you so much for your input, it is greatly appreciated. After taking the light assembly apart for the third time, I found that the shaft with the metal...
Hi all, The other night on my way home the "Little Woman" calls me cell to tell me she is stuck at work because the car won't start. I tell her I'll be right...
