Orig. system still working. On my 80 all it dose is honk the horn, no engine kill. So if I ever see a silver 80 vette going down the road with the horn honking I'll know its mine and has been stolen.
One thing to check for sure and it's already been mentioned is remove and clean the IAC's. If you do have to replace the fuel pump up-grade to a 85 [more flow]. Also replace the fuel filter located under pass. side frame, this should be done very first.
On my 80 one is a thermo vac. switch which when temp. was high enough would send vac. signal to another switch mounted at drivers side firewall which in turn would let the t/c lock-up work when required. The other was also thermo. vac. switch for either efe[maybe efi] or vac. advace during cold...
I replaced my intake with the performer non-egr this last winter. She passed emmisions with the old one blocked off so I figured why pay the extra money for the intake with one if I wasn't going to use it anyway.

I've read the thread on Zektor's install using 1.52 self aliginers. Sounds like he had good results. I plan on using 1.6's which I'm guessing would put a little more angle on the pushrod's which may cause interference with the head.

I would like to install CompCams 1.6 magnum roller tip rockers on the 82 but have a few questions. I realize the L-83 engine has 3/8 in. pressed in studs with no push-rod guides. Because of no guides there have been horror stories of push-rods walking off the roller tips during a hard run...
Get a flashlight and take a good look under the front end and nose tip. Look for damage on the lower air dam, broken or cracked fiberglass, holding screws missing or broken, rubber trim ect.. Stop Curbs and sidewalks chew em up. I'm not recommending this because of a women owner but that front...
I also had the same problem even after replacing with new bushings. I used teflon tape, several wraps around the bushing. It took a couple of tries to get it just right but works fine. Holds where I put it but still move-able.
Does anyone know where I can get a idle kick up sol. for my 80? This sol. is energized when the air conditioner is turned on and mounts right at the carb and linkage. I've checked thru several parts suppliers and none have it or its been discontinued. I'm trying to get the system working before...
Buy yourself a hand vac. pump and gauge. You will be able to check the vac. lines and equip. there hooked up to. I found many leaks on mine using this. Just take one circuit at a time. Be careful using starter fluid or propane to check for gasket leaks. Don't want no scinged hair. Also you said...
