Thanks LLC5! Here it is at an idle... 1982 Corvette idle - YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I broke out my schematic. The emissions systems are all pink & hot only in the run position. I think I will tap into one of those. :thumb

Thanks! I had not thought about using that feed before – that's an idea. With Hooker's full length headers, dual exhaust from Corvette Central, and magna flow mufflers it's become too cool for the original equipment oxygen sensor. That was causing some errors in the fuel map and the...

I am going to wire in a three-wire heated O2 sensor. But it's early... and I don't have my schematic in front of me. :) I'd rather not go to the fuse box since this is under the car. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting. I wonder if this is due to the increase in housing sales and the construction of new homes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last August I upgraded to a 3.73 rear end. :lou And promplty had to adjust the governor again .:L Never a dull moment, right? So I ended up using a blue and a green spring to get the shift points back to 5,300ish on WOT back in August. :thumb Well, I recently replaced the transmission-...

I finally got my tranny back in. I have a 2k RPM stall converter in mine along with some changes to the governor springs. FWIW... I am running the 82's OEM weights and then B&M blue and yellow springs. I started out with a B&M purple and orange springs when I had the 2.87 rear end. When I put...

I learned how to drive on an 82 Vette and was fortunate my dad let me take it out on special occasions. The 82s will always hold a special place in my heart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow- what a build!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The TCC - torque converter control- should activate in 4th gear and (if memory serves me) above 35mph. What that is... is the torque converter electrically locks with the transmission and there is no slip. This means the tq converter and transmission are "locked" together and turn at the same...

If the SES light is not coming on... perhaps it's the torque converter lock up on 4th gear. I know you just had your tranny done, but it's a possibility. You should get the lock on 4th... Which would be at that speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 3.73 rear end and a crate motor now, but I remember the lugging at that speed and low RPM you are speaking of. That dead spot is the result of the intersection of the RPM, speed, and torque curve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A shop well versed in TBI motors and carbs should be able to help. You will have to call around a lot though. Most of the folks who knew these cars at the dealerships have long since retired. LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After 80k+ miles... a 3.73 rear end... a higher HP motor... and 30+ years... the transmission needs my attention. :ugh I've looked around for a decent local shop with little success. I haven't found anyone I really trust. So, I am going with an aftermarket rebuild from Monster Performance with...

Well... we've solved the issue.

LEDs are brighter- and the white ones reflect the blue color on the back of the panels better than the OE bulbs. So, it does look a little bluer. The photos in my post above show the difference. I personally like the bluer hue because I think it's what GM wanted but the bulb technology just...

Here is a schematic of the pins used on the 84 ECM harness. I don't see a pin for the fan. The knock sensor should be in the block... above the oil pan... on the passenger side in a water jacket fitting. I am assuming that's what you mean by below the exhaust manifold.

There is a great post in the crossfire section on the CAC on how to set the balance by GeekinaVette Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like your TBs are out of balance. You can set the balance rather easy- you will need to cut the weld on the balance screw on the linkage and knock out the rear TBs anti-tamper plug in the idle set screw passage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Check to see if the retractor has become loose behind the panel. The retractor will lock up if there is momentum... and an ever so slightly loose retractor will shimmy and lock up more often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
