I believe Libby-Owens-Ford (LOF) provided the originals. :thumb

The SPEC designation on the trim tag (St. Louis) indicates something other than a stock color. Unfortunately, SPEC does not tell us what the color was. It could have been the Nutmeg; it could also mean primer only at the plant if the car was to be color coated at a different location...

What's the condition of the battery? :thumb

Forget the casting number. What you actually need is the stamp above. V Flint, Michigan engine assembly plant 0717 July 17th date engine was assembled FRT engine suffix code identifying a 350CID/160hp truck block. What you have is not a Corvette engine. :thumb

That depends on where you are, who does the work, and how much of the prep you do. :thumb

National Corvette Restorers Society :thumb

Provided the NCRS has your VIN in their records. They have a good database, but it is not 100% complete. The shipping data report will list the name of the original dealer, zone codes, and the date the car was shipped from St. Louis. No. There is a C3 Registry and you may find your car...

Sounds like a PROM/ECM glitch to me. Any codes stored on the computer?

Optimistic. :) CE mileage would not have been any different that regular production 82s. The AIM shows the placement of the sticker and what was supposed to be on it, but I'm not sure it lists the MPG. There may be a figure in the 82 sales brochure. :thumb

The Willcox part looks good to me. Order the 82 assembly instruction manual when you order the doors. The AIM shows how the frame, doors, hinges, and related hardware were installed at Bowling Green. Seeing how things went together often helps when taking them apart. :thumb

Without a picture, we do not have a clue what you're talking about. In your original post, it was a resistor; now it's a solenoid. Post a pic and we could see what you see. Do you have the assembly instruction manual (AIM)? The AIM shows the installation of the items under the console trim...

Now you know. :)

You should check the cable first. Whether it needs to be replaced will depend on what you find. :thumb

Yes. It's softer and seals better. Factory weatherstripping was latex. CRC Corvette Rubber Company :thumb

Post a pic of what you've found. I cannot recall anything similar on my 80. :thumb

Could be. Might also be regular 78 SA colors. :thumb

Have you checked the 68-69 NCRS Judging Guide? They might also be in Bizzoco's book, but I will not be able to check until this evening. Carpet covers the front pair; rear pair are the only ones visible. :thumb

FWIW: the stock 81-82 exhaust manifolds are about the best GM ever made available; they amount to short tube headers. You could convert to dual exhust using the stock manifolds. :thumb

The 82 induction system is one year only and is designed to work with the TBI and the ducted hood. I like the looks of it, but that's a personal thing. :thumb

There is no easy way to replace the nut. Lower the window as much as possible for clearance. A swivel head ratchet attachment is handy. :thumb
