Hello everyone,
I am new in here and new to the world of corvette's, so please forgive my ignorance if I ask what may be common knowledge for most concerning vette's, until I get a little better educated.
Just picked my vette up Thursday and made the 7 hour road trip home. It is a 94 in very nice condition with only 56K miles. After driving for the last two days, I noticed a few things things that have me asking the stupid questions.
- Fuel gauge and fuel tank. I drove 285 miles on the way home before I stopped to put gas in and the fuel gauge was reading just under 3/4. When I stopped to fill it up, it only took 12 gallons, which was accurate after figuring mileage and checking it against the computer which was averaging 24 mpg. I know the mileage was correct, but I dont think the tank is that big to reflect the fuel gauge readout. Do these gauges get stuck at all in one position not allowing it to fall beyond a certain point, or is my tank bigger than I think...I was thinking it was 18 or 20 gal. ?
- Stereo antenna...is it suppose to go up automatically whenever you turn the radio or key on, or is there a switch to make it go up and down? Mine doesnt appear to go up or down, so this may need repaired if there's not a separate switch.
- Adjustable ride control...how do you know if this is working?
- What size is the spare rim and tire that came with the car? I think mine is missing and I would like to get another one to replace it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Jim
