Need help.

I just replaced the optispark and water pump on my 92. I didn’t force anything, all the spindles lined up and teeth lined up, the plugs were put in the right order, serpentine belt was put on correctly, battery is brand new, new gaskets, new coolant, etc. and I get this. I got a little smoke coming into my cabin when I first tried starting it, it doesn’t do it now. I’ve unhooked the battery until I get this situated. I just need help figuring this out. It started and drove before I replaced everything as well. Idk what I did wrong but I just need this stupid ass car to work.

Bose Removal

Finally decided to get my Bose out and go aftermarket...or at least, send the thing in to be rebuilt...but I can't get it out! Anyone know what these things are that are still attached to the bracket? If so, how do I remove them without breaking, in case I want to reinstall the Bose? Or need for an aftermarket system?

How bad is this?

My 95’ lt1 hydro locked and after i manually cranked the engine and started it up it was blowing white smoke. I got a borescope and this is what i found in cylinder 8. Is the engine saveable?

PPI inspection 85' Corvette

Took this Corvette to a shop before I bought it and this is what came up, not sure what I'm looking at it terms of $ to fix it, asking price was $7,000 but that will definitely change.

WTS 1992 LT1 C4 Red Auto Coupe 61k Miles

I will provide a compnine report which tells you everything about the cars configuration from the manufacturer. If you want anything else in addition to the compnine, YOU purchase it.

Very clean, very nice Corvette. Extremely well maintained, fresh fluids, near perfect interior, runs and drives like a dream. Nice original paint, glass targa top, , fresh vented opti spark recently installed, rockford fosgate aftermarket stereo. Nearly 7000k in receipts for maintenance and upgraded cooling system and tune. This car is very good at keeping cool. Even if it's 105 degrees out, you can sit at the slowest drive thru in town with the ice cold AC blasting and the car will never even think about approaching 200 degrees. These cars run hot from the factory, but not this girl. Strong driving and good handling, 110% mechanically sound. Comes with a set of c5 rims and tires as well as another spare, and a set of trans am chrome 5 stars with tires. All hold air, two of the trans am tires are pretty shot, the rest are nearly brand new. A lot of car for the price. This is a sweet vette. 12,500$ with everything

TV Cable doesn’t want to stay tight. . Is the cable broken?

Hello, It’s me again.. 1987 with the L98. I’m still confused on how the TV cable is supposed to function and feel like I may have gotten a defective cable. It just won’t stay where I put it, almost like it’s correcting itself but at the same time it’s not because it gives itself slack and doesn’t stay tight. If anyone could help I could really use it, I don’t know how to work with the TV cable on this car. Thanks again for watching

Help, my 96 lt4 wont start

I'm from brazil and my dream car just arrived from the United States.

I had it shipped to brazil in early march this year, but it only arrived home (my mechanic) yesterday because of brazils customs bureocracy.

All this time the car was parked at a warehouse, awaiting some documents bullshit.

It was running fine in february, and I even drove it while I was in vacation in the US, while it waited to be shipped.

I know the battery is dead, but my mechanic said he put a new one and the car turns, but theres no fuel pressure, and no spark.

He also said that the ECM fuse keeps blowing every time he puts a new one.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
