    Please take care of your baby (the Vette) after making it your own

    I agree. I remember that one video of a new C6 with a blown tire damage as a result of a burnout. :(

    Please take care of your baby (the Vette) after making it your own

    We have all seen videos of folks doing stupid stuff, and perhaps burnouts are the worst culprit. Don't spend all that money and time and money and time on your Vette, and then show off...specially burnouts. Credit to Bangshift.com who posted it in facebook. Corvette catches on fire during...

    egr solenoid valve relay

    The solenoids are there to "time" when the EGR valve is in operation. As you know, EGR valves operate in vacuum signal. And the valve itself allows exhaust to remix mix with fuel-air mixture to more completely burn the gases produced during the combustion cycle of the engine. The down side is...

    The Corvette Action Center Loses a Family Member

    I am broken hearted to find out of JaneAnn's passing. She always heard me out through pm's about ideas and CAC improvements. She never once mentioned fighting cancer. She would gracefully just help you out, and not complaint about anything. Thank you JaneAnn for your dedication to the site...

    1981 AC/Fuse Question?

    Hey Hammer, to clarify, the fan on the L81 always is in operation. You only turn on or off the A-C. The heater is affected by the heater exchanger box (either routes air through exchanger or by-passes it).

    1981 AC/Fuse Question?

    Check the ignition switch (halfway down the column; and if you think that a fuse is hard to check, try the ignition switch), so I recomment that you lower the steering column to gain access to the switch (not terribly bad, but you may need to loosen the steering rag joint to allow column to...

    1981 AC/Fuse Question?

    The fuse connects to ignition switch. Have you noticed if by slightly rotating the ignition key switch tumbler the problem either is or is not there? And are you referring to the fan stopping?? or the A-C is not cooling?

    Original L81 engine pic's..

    Peter, Were you able to retain head light bulb adjustability? The new shroud is coming along nicely. Good work! You are one the most patient men I know. :D

    Question: Choke Heater Issue

    You can check the wire at the choke for 12 volts DC with the ignition key in run or start. If voltage is there, then at least the juice is making it through. The buzzing, I guess would require a new choke relay.

    Important! Base timing on 81

    Al, The terminals are the ones connecting the computer. And I am sure that you are aware that inside the battery compartment, is the ECM. Which means you have to remove the battery if like me, you have big hands because it is a PITA to attempt troubleshooting it with it on the way, and besides...
