I'm in need of a 1982 tele/adjusting steering column, mainly the components and release lever around the tele knuckle/ lever inside the car. My telescopic stem now is super lose (wore out?) and the vette getting dangerous to drive due to the 1'' free movement in the steering wheel upper post...

aero vette Back in spring of '89 I went to Disneyland during the retro beach promotion they had going that season...(I still remember the use of "California Sun" song redone for the commercials) Anyways as I walking up to the ticket booths, along the center area were large tents set up. From...

I'd would recommend a U-hail or Rider rental truck to get BOTH your corvettes out of the rain area ...and then split the cost of the rental. Playing devil's advacate (and I may sound tainted), but this is a big red flag to me as I've been burned too many times loaning out tools or parts to...

I'd suspect the rear-end. Is the fluid level okay? My current one was whining at 40 mph+ in any gear. I pulled the differential oil plug, found it was a bit low when I put my pinky finger in. Topped off with new fluid and ...no more whine! :) However...The previous differential was...

That sounds great about the fuel pump...Wish I had known that last summer when I dropped spare tire and the whole fuel tank to get to it from the underside! ;LOL Oh well, live and learn...and at least I found the tank build slip in the process. Anything about wiring or fuel lines I should be...

Does anyone know if the thin red ring that circles around the '78 pace car aluminum rim painted on, or a decal? I always thought that was a very nice design touch and now I'm looking at my wheels and wondering...hmmmm. :) -Moo

Anyone read or used the info from "Cross-Fire a-go-go" written by Roy Bohacz, from the April 2000 issue of Corvette Fever? It has a overview (some mentioned by Ken73's post above) of intake, throttle-body, cam shaft , heads and ignition upgrades to produce a realistic goal of 325 hp max from...

At a party last night a new friend said, "Oh, nice Stingray and its fuel injected!" I went on to say IMHO the last true 'ray fuelie was in'65 and this was a cross-fire '82 but more people gathered around the car with oh's and ah's about the car. (Granted I had just waxed it but there was some...

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. :)

As of the past few weeks on my '82, I've notice a bit more play in the steering wheel stem than before. This is in the area of the upper column where the signal posts/ steering adjustment post resides and slides into the lower column.. While the car is driveable, the play is about 1/2 inch...

? Thanks for the info LEEJANDZ, I was thinking about doing the same on mine here in Calif. Last two smogs checks the visual inspection was in the engine compartment with not a peek underneath to look at the pipes or cat. I do wish to go dual cats into true dual pipes. Question is on the...

If you are to rebuild the car into your vision of a Vette and stay within the 80-82, a non-computer (non-Calif) '80 may be the best bet. For restoring to stock (potential for value growth), a nice '82. (And please don't be afraid of the cross-fire! There is much you can do for it now! :) )...

Both times I had cooling problems it was traced back to the radiator. (This was after looking at the waterpump, lines, fan, clutchfan, heater core and electric fan and was still having heat issues.) Simple to remove and replace with a few hand tools, took the old radiator to a local radiator...

check the wiring within the plug itself... Similar situation on my '82. I even bought a 2 used power seat tracks off ebay and they did not work either. While the plugs seem secure visually from the outside, found out one of the two wires inside the black socket had pull away and was not...

It's your car, have fun with it. I personally like the '79 hood with the L-82 emblems. My old roommate had one and he'd park it next to my '82. We'd compare/contrast the difference between the 3 years of the cars production. I would tell him I wish mine had hood emblems and he went on to say...

Mine seems to have a life of it's own and arms/goes off when ever she feels like it. Some combo between the doorlocks, t-tops and key latch on the driver door makes it work. Very rare but at times it's like playing Russian Roulette when I go to open my either door it will trigger the alarm...

...same prob on my '82, the blower is ALWAYS set to the highest setting to get any minute sence of comfort on a hot day, (the glass t-tops don't help either. ) This is my 2nd blower motor replaced last summer new and about the same as the original in blowing power.

I had mine cut from 1/8" thick hard plastic sheets. Found that the stock fiberboards start to look cheap as the carpet and top of the board frays apart where it meets the center console. With the hard black plastic cut to fit using the stock boards as a guild, now I have a tight clean fit with...

I've replaced mine 3 times on my '82. But never had to remove the muffler though, just worked around it. There is a connecter in the wiring somewhere between the interior and through the floor plug to the antenna. Just trace the wiring and should be a easy find. Other way is just cut the...

Im looking to go dual cats on my '82 that MAYBE (if the gods are smiling upon me) slip by Calif's smog laws yet stay legal. Every time at the smog check, the inspection was under the hood and standard tailpipe test. There was no under the car or on the rack inspection. Cross-fire my fingers...
