Hi all, I replaced all calipers, hoses and master cylinder on my '81 and cannot get fluid to the rear while bleeding. I have bled the master and there is fluid going to the fronts, but nothing to the rear. I read something about gravity bleeding for a while before two person bleeding. Can...

maybe a dumb question.. This may be a dumb question, but would you guys recommend using anti-seize the next time or is that a big no-no?

I wish! It took 10 years just to get the car, you think I can talk wifey into doing something like that?!?!?! lol

Since I have owned my '81 I have had a constant problem in starting it when "cold". It NEVER starts on the first try and always takes 3 attempts to start. I have had my share of old cars and usually you just have to pump it before cranking and that solves the problem. But for some reason, my...

Beautiful car Wow, that is a nice car, post some more pics when you get some time!!

I need new tires for my '81. I am not buying until beginning of next season but I figured that I would ask for opinions on what type to get. I am more concerned with appearance and ride than performance. I like white letters and am leaning towards Firehawk Indy 500's. What do you all think?

Kids and cars... I am a new '81 owner and the very first day I drove my car home I was still "in shock" that I was finally able to get my dream car. Having a young family, I was still a bit unsure that what I had done (in buying it) was right. Even with my wife's blessing for our 10th...

Couldn't wait... Okay, I got too impatient to wait for down-time and decided to replace the horns now. It was without a doubt the most aggrevating job I have ever done on a vehicle! I managed, with help, to replace the passenger side horn and will quit at that. It seems that there is no "easy...

Thanks Thanks for the help everyone. From the sounds of it, I will wait another month or so till I put the car away for the winter and then tackle the horn problem and some other stuff then.

Thanks, Do you know of an easy way to reach them?

I have finally located my horns and I have a few of questions for you more experienced owners: 1. My horns are mounted on the upper front areas of the wheel wells (1 on each side), not in the nose as the books say. Was this an optional location? 2. How do I get to them? 3. When I press the...

Hi, the following is a response to another question of the same problem that I also just fixed. Hope it helps. ladams How I did it. Quote: Originally Posted by agildawg I would love to hear how you went about doing this, and what you ran into because I have this same repair coming up in...

How I did it. I removed all the screws from the front face of the cluster (I think there are 3 on top, 2 on sides), then you have to remove the lower steering column cover (2 screws) but be careful because the headlight vacuum valve is attached. You can just let it hang there. Now the part...

Oops, never mind. I just figured out that you have to release the speedo cable on the back of the cluster.

thanks alot for the advice. I got my answer and by the way, pbcanney, that is a great website you have. ladams

Okay, how the heck do I remove the instrument cluster to replace the left signal light bulb?!?! I have all the screws out but still cannot remove it.

I am a new owner of an '81 and have already gotten some help from this forum. Thanks. I have a new question. It appears as though my car has had basically all of the emission equipment unhooked and/or not working anymore. I was wondering if I should go ahead and remove the components or leave...

Success!!!!!!!!! Thanks alot guys and/or girls, I checked the fuse again and found it was, indeed, good. However...when I pulled the fuse and checked each side, I found that one side was live and one side was dead. I have had a problem with very light corrosion on several contacts so what I...

I checked the fuse and it is not hot whether the key is on or off.

I had the radio on my 81 working long enough to replace the speakers, the next day when I started it, the radio was not working. I checked the fuse, it was ok, and I checked the two power lines with a test light. The constant power wire is ok, the ignition power wire is showing nothing...
