Tator, congratulations!!! Yes, the lights will pop up unevenly everytime. It all depends whether you are at idle, on the road, or under load. :) no a problem. :) How's your idle? Is it idling smoother?

Yes! In fact, I would lock my kid (from about 8 years old) in the Vette should I need to step into gas station store for five minutes, and the alarm will go off if the door is opened even when unlocking the locks electrically.

And I was guessing that perhaps it would not help if you bought a used one since there is there is no way in determining if it works. I would ask ask you to consider this. If your Vette is not completely stock or if you don't care if it is, then install one of those modern alarms. They truly...

Antz, Are you trying to achieve an ultimate goal with the alarm function (like adding/removing features), or is the alarm really not working as it should and the module is hard to find new? I am sure making a custom one is child's play for you, but if ultimate protection is desired, then...

It does it with the right door as well. And interior lights do go out (not in the video because I didn't want to listen to the alarm the entire time :L. ) I am just guessing, but back in 1980 (when the shop manual was written) their technical writing was not like today (it is often driven by...

Actually, the shop manual only says that it should arm itself in 5 seconds either by the electrically operated locks or manually with the key. I believe that the system Arming itself has no design in it to detect or require that the door be closed all the way and not left ajar. It just arms...

Gail has done this since I bought her with 14,000 miles on the odometer, so I am not sure if what we see is a system malfunction or what, but there it is...

I believe that the if the alarm goes off, turning of the ignition key won't start the car. So are you having a bunch of false alarms? If you activate the door locks and say you leave a door ajar, the cabin light will extinguish and at the same time, the alarm will arm. If you close the door...

Great news, Antz! It it never seems to end, but it will get better. I love it when an engine starts as it should. :) Is the rear wheel bearing making noise or what?

Well, and again. The vacuum pump check is inconclusive without the new seal. Sorry for confusing you. The seal is relatively cheap. So you try the seal, and then replace the actuator if it doesn't fix it. I used dielectric grease on inside of seal to install it. The reason was I didn't want to...

Wait, wait!!! lol Just check actuator with the vacuum pump. But you see on your image that piece of rubber around the shaft? That's part of the seal at the actuator housing. Just saying :)

Keep soaking it. The torch might work, but if you overheat the rod, you run into possibly damaging the diaphragm on the inside end of the rod. Probably not worth it. Just keep soaking it. :)

Tator, The actuators in my vette are the originals, and the seals did the trick. So it is worth trying those first before incurring the cost on the actuators themselves. Antz, vendors over here automatically add a premium as if it takes any more efforts from them. It is almost as if they take...

Welcomed Aboard!:CAC

If it was stored, and no Stabil or other fuel additive added before storing, you may have bad fuel. Try adding 5 or 7 fresh gallons of fuel. Perhaps?!?!!?

It just means that you are human. Overexposure to a problem can make us chase our tail (meaning, we would be going around and around without a frame of reference from where we started).

Antz, if your problem started after installing the choke flap, check your electric choke coil. When cold, and engaged to the choke flap lever (inside the electric choke housing), it should be adjusted so that as you turn the plastic cap, the flap moves, and it should be set when a 1/8" gap...

Alright, Peter. :thumb

Peter, Borrow a stethoscope from one of your girlfriends, and listen closely. A leak from the power brake booster would hiss from the same area (around brake pedal) as either headlight or bypass switch.

Hey. Maybe it means that you won't need the aftermarket prom ;):L;LOL:thumb, and so you can send it to me. Lmao!!!...jk
