Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / August 2006Battery for a 1995 LT1 (6 speed) Coupe
What brand/size should I buy? Mine is toast. Sadly, I don't drive it much. It has under 40K. I was told there was some sort of add-on contraption that would make a battery last longer? I don't remember the details, just thought I'd ask. Thanks OldSchool Personally, I only use Interstate batteries in my cars. Charlie, 93 vert. > What brand/size should I buy?

Thanks BTW- 'How can I fill the final places, how can I complete the wall?' ADVISE - Don't do it! The wall is bad, even though The Wall is good. But it has nothing on Animals or Obscured by Clouds...

I use them on all My Corvettes and my Garden Tractor over the winter...Garage looks like a Christmas tree with all the blinking red and green lights... BUT they work ... Can not remember the last time I had to buy a new Battery.... Bob G. > What brand/size should I buy?

Now the battery is located just ahead of the driver side....there is a panel on the side......that has to be removed......then it comes right out. DONOT accept someone telling you that all the stuff ABOVE THE BATTERY has to be removed.......I was lucky that someone at Sears had done one. If you are not financially challenged....take it to the dealer....I had my water pump replaced.....and while it cost $550...the labor and parts are guaranteed for life...printed right on the receipt...I have mine serviced regularly there....there's no bullcrap.....I have a regular service advisor. Yeah...oil change is $6.50 qt for Mobil-1.....about $60 total........but hey...this is not a regular car........ is it ???

Sincere is OK.. Yeah...if I was a Master Mechanic like my father was (died in 1991 and would have a fit if the F.O.R.D. man knew I bought a Corvette)... I could go to Advance Auto and get 3 water pumps for $550....I'm not a mechanic...though I used to be able to set points and use a Gasp....Timing light !. My Dad would not speak to me in 1973 when I bought a 65 Corvair Corsa....turbo model but the motor was replaced by a standard 110 HP 2 carb flat 6..... Paid $250 and it served me well for 2 years....4 speed and full guages !
