    Differential removal

    I have ben told by a few different people that a leaking seal in the 81's is a sign of deeper trouble, I can't remember the exact reason but something is wearing in the diff. and the metal filings are wearing out the seal and by just replacing the seal the problem will return. I would suggest...

    Heater core leaking?

    Try removing clamps with 1/4 in . drive sockets, they're in tight spots but can be done with patience, after you get them off cut the hose carefully lengthwise at the core to split them, don't try to twist them off without cutting them or you might loosen up the tubes where they solder into the...

    Heater core leaking?

    All good advice, I found an old thread that was really helpful, step by step with wrench sizes and all, the worst part is getting the heater box back into place,it is really tight in there as you can imagine, I did it over a couple of days( also did new belts, hoses, water pump, radiator,clamps...

    What does NASCAR have to do to get Dale Jr. into the Chase?

    I wonder who told him to say that, do you suppose Rick Hendrick had anything to do with it? Taylor isn't only Teresa's daughter she's also Jr.'s Sister, maybe a half Sister but still a Sister, why can't he stick up for his Sister instead of Teresa's daughter??? " It bothers me a little bit"...

    What does NASCAR have to do to get Dale Jr. into the Chase?

    Nasacar is on it's way down the hill, all because of greed and not standing up for what's right. They have become so politically correct they are loosing their core supporters like me and millions of other rednecks that got them where they were at the top of the sports world. Personaly I hope to...

    Too Cold

    feul filter Did you put the filter in backwards by any chance, some are directional, fuel flow goes with the arrow on the filter, just a thought, sounds like it may be running out of fuel and then getting enough to just barely get it going again

    1981 heater hose pipe question

    Can anyone tell me or does anyone have a pic of the metal pipe that goes in the heater hose that comes off of the water pump and underneath the a/c compressor, I'm not sure how it is held in place, it appears like it may have been bolted to the compressor or is there a bracket of some kind that...

    81 Power Seat

    Hi, Does anyone here have any experience with the power seat workings in an 81 ?? The center switch that looks like a joystick works like it's supposed to but the 2 blade type switches that are supposed to move the front and back of the seat up and down won't do anything, I can hear a faint...

    A/C Main Hose

    Just in case anyone needs a new main hose for a 78-82 Vette, do yourself a favor and don't bother with the G.M. replacements that you will get at your local G.M. dealer. They are junk, look like a cheap aftermarket Chinese garbage. I got one thinking I was doing the right thing by going with...
