What about the o rings inside the compressor? I still have some R12 at home and as long as I can get my hands on it for a good price I'll use it. The mechanic that put the R12 and new oil into the system said that the R12 will cool better then the R134 but on the other hand, will you notice it...
I would also like to know if your measurements (or those from a shop) are far off each other.
And you start with those shims but from there first caster or toe, camber? It would be nice to see if the wheelsettings change over time :)

Looks great!
Btw. On the steam clean... Looks nice if it's only carbon in the intake to take care of. But with the crank vacuum also into the intake it's an oily mess inside so I think some steamed up water wouldn't make any difference.

Did you check the vacuum gauge to another one?
The other think you can do if pull a valve cover and check valve lift to see if the OEM cam is in there. If both turn out oke then i don't know :)

You're right. And a lot of 81 specific questions are just posted in the general c3 section.
Tapatalk does show in blue if there is a new reply (like this one) :)

So if I read correctly the st louis 81s should have a black lis and the bowling green 81s the chrome lid? :)

If they aren't there (like mine) look on the sides in front of the front wheelwells besides the radiator that is where mine are :)

The cam can be the problem but it's just an idea :)
Yes the ticking is the m/c solenoid, if it's far from 30 degrees it stops moving and no ticking can be heard.
The ECM only gives a rich or lean code if it's so far from perfect that the engine want to stop. If perfect is 14:1 A/F then mine gave...
Are the readings with no vacuum leaks what so ever? If so, normally with a stock cam vacuum should be between 18-20 Hg vacuum (high vacuum, small cam). With a bigger cam vacuum can drop to around 15 Hg without any problem for the ECM. But below that the ECM with think you're moving the throttle...
I think polarity isn't a problem for the solenoid, either it passes the 12v or it doesn't. As you did a great job on the vacuumleaks we can role that one out. But what is your vacuumgauge saying at idle 600rpm? How much HG vacuum at the intake manifold? Maybe you have a big cam in it bigger than...
If my memory serves me correctly the code 23 is a to much fuel code (or not enough air). If the solenoid stops working it turns to full fuel so that could be related!
It is very simple open the service manual on code 23 and follow the trouble shooting that gets you were you need to go :)...
Looks perfect to me! I loved 140mph speedo as our speedlimit is 80 :)
How do the LED's turn out? I have them in mine but the light was to blueish for my taste.
Good luck :)

The C4 Dana44 is a different gear model. So yes they are only made for 80-82 model Corvettes. Remember the weak part is the left bearingcap!
