Is there any NCRS member in the Bowling Green area? I'm looking for someone that has C4 experience.

Bowling Green Ohio?

I guess that is my fault. I assumed that when talking to a Corvette group that there is only one Bowling Green. Bowling Green, KY, Home of The Corvette. I never heard of Bowling Green, OH or that one existed.

Suggest you contact TOM BARR - National Team Leader about any errors you believe are in the manuals. Provide any and all DOCUMENTED information you have available. We are always looking to update information when we know that is in error.

BTW - everyone needs to remember the manuals are only as good as the information that was available at the time the manuals were published. NCRS is a COMPLETE volunteer organization and that is how / where the information was gathered as REFERENCE MATERIAL.

Re: NCRS member in Bowling Green area

I'm well aware of these things. I'm a volunteer as well and fully understand the volunteer organization. However, these were pretty glaring mistakes made in the Tech Manual. I don't want someone that just judges C4s to come over and judge my ZR-1 as it is completely different beast. However, I will forward all information to him and see if it is changed. The primary purpose of my post was to find someone in the BWG area that knows ZR-1s and, apparently, there isn't anyone.

Roy,

Did you buy your ZR-1's new?

Re: NCRS member in Bowling Green area

Roy, I am the National Team Leader for C4s. We are aware of mistakes in the Manual and are constantly updating them. We have just wrapped up the 90-92 and will go to 94-96 then to 92-93. I have a very good Team that feeds me the info. We put together the 90-96 manuals in a hurry and missed many things. I have a member of my team in Nashville and he is involved with the Museum, so he spends a lot of time there. At a Regional or National event I am always there with the Master Manual. Feel free to contact me anytime I live in Arizona so now are the same as pacific time. My noon is in the Restorer.

Re: NCRS member in Bowling Green area

No, I didn't. The first one was a 95 ZR-1. The second one was the 92 ZR-1 and I was the 3rd owner. The last one is the 93 40th ZR-1. I have no idea how many owners have had this one but it was owned by the engineer that developed the Multec fuel injectors up in Rochester, NY for the ZR-1 and was one of the people that drove the 89 ZR-1's from BWG to DET to be shipped to France. He was with "Mr. Smoke" Jim Ingles. I have some issues with both of them that I am trying to fix. I'm sorry about the difficulty with the posting but I have no idea why it is doing it. I'm on the forums.ncrs.org sign-in.

Re: NCRS member in Bowling Green area

I have talked to you before on the ZR-1 Net Registry. I wish that he was available to talk to me. I go to the museum pretty regularly until the current crisis. I live about 20 minutes from the museum but I'm the only person locally that has a ZR-1 so I'm on my own on working on my car.

Re: NCRS member in Bowling Green area

I'll see what I can do. As it happens, I have both the 92 and the 93 ZR-1's. I will come up with a document detailing the differences between the LT-5 motors and the interiors. Up to a certain point, all of the motors in the early years are different. For example, the 92 ZR-1 is an oddball. It was the first to have ASR and the twin cables on top of the plenum. It also has an additional hose coming out of the right side of the plenum that the earlier motors did not have. The 92 LT-5 has the EGR in a different location than the 93 LT-5. The list gets long. For example, in 92, there was a RPO deleting the power seat. My 92 has that RPO. I have a manual seat on the pax side. None of the other ZR-1's have that RPO. Just the 92. I don't consider myself to be an expert but I have owned 3 ZR-1's so I have some perspective on the car.

Roy,

Remember to include the hole in the dash on the passenger floor side in your write up.

Re: NCRS member in Bowling Green area

Roy, I appreciate your input. As I said we learn by members like yourself sharing what they have learned. When doing the manuals we look for know original owner cars. Even then we run into things that had been changed. We are fortunate we can still talk to the people that actluall built our cars. Please send me what you have discovered as well as a picture of your Special Parts Identification Sticker, located under you center consol lid.
