I've experienced a very similar problem with my 1980. My power locks were not working when I bought it, but that turned out to just be a fuse. However, they recently stopped working again (haven't checked the fuse yet), and when I went to move the car around in the garage the other day, the...

Welcome! Very nice Z06, LOVE the wheels! Well done.

Thanks for all of the helpful advice. My car is bone stock, so I still have the Qjet with the flare nut and large filter nut setup; this is where I went wrong in the first place, because I knew I should be holding the larger nut while loosening the fuel line, but did not have the right tools...

That's the feeling I'm getting too...bending it myself sounds like a great opportunity to screw something up and cost myself more time, money, and frustration. My setup is completely stock, so I think I will order the new OEM line. I sincerely appreciate everyone's advice and comments. When I...

Yes, this is the section that needs replacing. As I was troubleshooting my no start situation earlier, I figured changing the fuel filter was a good thing to do, but when I tried to loosen the fuel line the threads on the larger nut (retaining the filter) broke instead and my line started to...

Kane I'm still trying to picture the bump you are referring to, and what tube the fuel line would need to slip over.

Honestly, I haven't checked with the dealer yet. I have a very knowledgable Carquest manager who I have bought parts from for years, and she tells me that this is pretty common practice - unless of course I want to go get one through the dealer. I'm not trying to cheap it as I don't do things...

Thanks for your help. I replaced the coil, and the cap and rotor while I was at it, and was able to narrow it down to the ignition module when it still would not fire. Replaced that and it fired right up. Now, however, I have a pinstream fuel leak coming from the line right down on top of the...

My car left me stranded today. Drove it to work and it was running fine. Left about a half hour later, got about a block from the office and was sitting at a red light waiting when it quit like the key had been turned off and would not restart. Cranks great, but no start. I poured some fuel...

Thanks for all of the info! You guys saved me from buying something that would not work for my car. One of my tops must have come off while the previous owner was driving it, because it is all scratched and has a couple of cracks. The local shops here are wanting $500+ to refinish it, so I have...

Does anyone know, or know how to tell, if T-tops from a 1976 will fit on my 1980? Are there any measurements or production numbers to check? I have looked all over the internet, but have not found any specifications pertaining to the interchangeability. :confused

Hello everyone, new member here with my first Corvette, a white 1980 with red interior. I have always loved and wanted one of these cars, and am thrilled to have finally joined the club. Will get some pictures of the car uploaded soon - been too busy driving it!
