Thanks for your input but I did ask about the EFI system not what I am fitting it to. The FAST website does not say it will not work under 650hp it actually states "Carb replacement system supports stock to 1200hp"

I'm looking at the 2.0 because it works out around the same price as the Edelbrock and Holley system. You also get the additional features like the ability to change fuel type. I'm not running a stock L81, I have a ZZ4 with aftermarket heads, big cam and should be around 500hp according to my...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any feedback for the Fast EZ 2.0 EFI. I'm thinking of fitting it to my 1981 that I'm building but the only reviews that are online aren't very good. Is it that only people that are not happy are the ones who do the reviews? Is there anyone here that has fitted the...

The upper slide is an electrical connection/vacuum and doesn't have a cable so if it doesn't move you have another issue. Look at the cable first and hopefully you can get it to blow cold. I've just started a resto on my '81 and can access the heater controls easily as I've removed most of the...

Hi Steven, If the top lever doesn't move how do you know the AC is on? I've just checked my car and I think you should remove the passenger side center console side. Behind there is the cable that operates the blend flap, look and see if it has come apart. I had a problem with my wifes '81 the...

Hi everyone. I have a problem that I need to check the ground to the ECM and I don't kow where to look without stripping the whole car. Does anyone know where it is?

Glad it helped, you might find that the printed circuit behind the gauges is burnt. The printed circuit is available for around $70. Be carefull when you are removing the guage cluster as there is a bulb in the top that shines down on the heater control panel. If you don't drop the cluster down...

Hi Clay I hope you have fixed the problem but if you haven't here is what I've found out. I was doing some work on the center dash and after putting it back together the choke light would not go out and the engine would not idle. After checking many times I thought I'd worked it out to be the...

Hi everyone. My wife and I have an '81 and we would like to know what we can do to it and still keep it a survivor. The footwell carpet could do with replacing and the backs of the seats would benifit from a dust over with interior dye/paint. Our original plan was to restore it but we took 1st...

I've found a few other silver/charcoal cars and the trim codes on the tag are the same as mine. That clears up the mystery. As far a repainting there are a quite a few blemishes and places where the paint is thin. There is a paint shop that's local that only do Corvettes so I'll see if they can...

I hope this sheds a little light on the matter. Here's a copy of the build sheet and some pictures of the car. I am currently replacing the brakes so I couldn't get it outside to take better pictures.

Thanks Mikey, There is the big NCRS show at Old Town in Kissimmee Florida this week, I guess I'll have to ask there also. It just seems strange to have a two tone trim code on the build sheet but the car be one color. I think someone has painted the charcoal on the bottom at a later date. The...

Hi everyone. Let me introduce myself, my name is Scott and live in Florida but I'm originally from the UK. I have just bought my wife a 1981 Corvette and there is something I have to find out. It presently is Silver (code 33) over Charcoal (code 39) but the trim code says it should be code 33...
