Yeah, I was wondering if I can just use manifolds from any C3?

Can somebody list a specific part number from one of the more well known suppliers for some 1981 exhaust manifolds? I don't need the AIR tubes but I just want to replace the originals and put a new exhaust system on it. Nothing fancy, it is just a driver. Any other part numbers would be very...

I did the exact same thing with my 81 over a year ago, still working fine.

Thanks, but my stepfather has a guy that did a really good job on his '68 Mustang and gave him a great deal. I'm hoping to get something similar but I wasn't sure what I could get.

I need a complete exhaust including manifolds. All of the pollution stuff has been unhooked on my car but is still there. What I want to do is remove it all and get some reasonably priced headers and exhaust just to clean it up in there and remove the clutter. Will I have problems if I remove...

Thanks for the reply. I just checked my trim tag and it turns out that I am supposed to have cinnibar cloth seats (67C) instead of the leather ones I have. It's pretty neat to get responses from such authorities.

Thanks guys, I new that sooner or later I would be right about something! haha

I've had a 1981 vette for a year and a half now and from EVERYTHING I've learned here and on other sites, there were no options for the engine. ONLY L81. I had my car appraised and I argued with the guy that my engine was not an L48. Also, I just spoke to my buddies neighbor who is the...

I decided to keep the car and POR-15 all the rusty areas. It is still a pretty solid car as long as I stop the damage where it is and I have "come to terms" with the fact that it is a driver so I will enjoy it for what it is! Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Okay, I replaced the cable and grommet and the squeak is no more!!

I actually just did this this spring. I broke the end off my shock mount while trying to get the nut off. I found what worked best for me, being just a simple home mechanic, was an angle grinder with a 1/16" cut-off disk right in between the spindle arms and the strut rods. Then the strut rod...

What's the deal here? Am I just not looking for the right part or do they not sell these things anywhere? My tail lights are getting to the point where they just don't seem to be held in solidly. What do I look for?

already did!lol

I've already ordered the new cable. So I guess it IS the cable that is the culprit?

Thanks, I don't feel bad now that I missed it. A couple of guys from work also went and said the same.

Hi, I have a squeaky speedo on my '81 and have ordered a new upper cable. But I have a question, is the cable the culprit of the squeak or do I have to apply lube to the actual speedo gauge? Other links really haven't been clear on this. thanks;shrug

I actually ordered some from their web-site the other day. Thanks guys. As for the Barrie flea-market, unfortunately I am working all weekend and not able to go without booking off a day. I missed the one in the spring also.

Does anyone know where I can get some POR-15 in Canada? It doesn't seem to be to easy to get here!

In my opinion, the only REAL vette look is the C3! I would buy one in a flash (if I had deep pockets).

I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO SELL!!! I know the logical thing to do would be to sell, but I just can't bring myself to do that. I wanted a corvette for as long as I can remember and now I have one! I am going to enjoy it for a while and then maybe tackle the problem in a couple of years. I...
