Peter..., sure hope you find your problem. Remember you are the specialist in ECM carb and stuff. Unfortunately, I can't be much help (since I'm still learning from you) but don't worry I have my own problems right now with my solenoids not kicking in. Aren't these cars fun. Best of luck....and...

Thanks for the great video Gerry LP. Very much appreciated. :beer

Hot topic I guess. I`m also doing mine right now but with different results. After finding a broken wire on the driver`s side switch, I thought I had it resolved. Now both doors will unlock easily but won`t lock, Checked connectors, continuity, voltage...you name it... still the same. I guess...

I'll be all ears & eyes on this one too...:w

When I say 90 litres, I'm going by the book. Never really tested it. (my low fuel light doesn't work). I like your plan but be careful when running out of fuel. Last summer, I was running low and stopped for fuel. Filled her up and left only to stall 1 km. later. Go figure. Opened the hood, took...

Vettehead Mickey is right on the money... 23.7 US gals. or 90 litres. B.T.W. Peter, I dropped my gas tank a few years ago for inspection and clean-up and if I remember correctly, '81's came with an urethane liner(creme color) inside the tank (not a bladder). I'm assuming mine was original since...

A few weeks ago, I started a thread about a discharge ball retainer on E4ME carb. At that time I was working on the TPS sensor and had taken the top part of the carb apart. (air horn). Same as you, I found this little ball sitting on top of the intake manifold during reassembly. Thanks to...

Same as mine on both sides. God only knows what that is but brittle as hell and tends to crack on the edges (had to tape mine). Reflectix sounds like a good substitute. :w

Thank you very much Peter. Your explanation is a lot better than what they give you in the Service Manual. :beer

Hello everyone... Decided to tackle a long time trouble code 21 (throttle sensor circuit) on my stock 81. To make a long story short, the electrical part as been taken care of, so went ahead and removed the air horn on the carb to clean the sticking plunger. Done... Now, while re-assembling the...

The center cap is chrome. Rear window trim is black.

Blue is correct. Mine are original and after 30 yrs. I swear they are turning to a somewhat greenish tint. :)

Real bummer. And how is someone supposed to predict that. I guess these wires sit in a lot of heat most of the time but there's no way to know when and where they will fail. Ask me how I know. 'Vette came back home last summer in the back of a flatbed due to a broken fusible link. Not a whole...

Take the old one off and have it replaced with one the same size at your local parts store. Your GM dealership might have one also. Just my .02 ;)

Thanks Peter.., And that's exactly where I was, working on the air ducts last Fall. I remember having one heck of a time replacing all the wires on the driver's side. Thanks again. Regards.., Roger
