    81 seat covers

    I bought mine from Willcox Corvette 800-588-3883. They do not have an up to date website, but if you call they are very helpful, and have great prices.

    Sun Visor on 81'

    Try pushing the visor onto the stem a bit harder, this help with mine, it still falls down, but not nearly as much. I had to push it fairly hard onto the arm.

    You'll get nothing for it without the motor, you may as well fix this one.

    Blown Engine Replacement

    It just seems to me that it has to be the valve timing is not in sync with the crank. If the motor will turn over, and the compression is in the same range on all cylinders, then the timing chain must have slipped. I can't think of anything else it could be. I hope someone else chimes in here...

    Base Coat Clear Coat Questions

    Just want to put my $.02 in. Since it sounds like you plan to do this yourself, I would apply 2 heavy coat of clear, then wetsand, apply 2 more coats, wetsand again, and decide if you need another coat of clear, if it looks good to go, I would then apply a very thin fill/top coat with just...

    Best induction kit for TPi

    Assuming you are not talking about a supercharger, or anything along those lines...What I am using is a Forced Air Induction. It requires cutting a bit of the front bumper (under hood), and is mounted in the front license plate space. It really does add seat of the pants performance improvment...

    Blown Engine Replacement

    Interesting that the compression is down equally in all cylinders. Would that happen if the timming gear slipped a tooth or two? This would be my best guess.

    75 & 81 rear bumpers

    Nice looking car! The rear bumper I never liked on the 75-79 vetes. Out here in California the 75 & earlier cars are smog exempt ( at least for now), so the appeal of buying a 75 or earlier is high for me, the 74 & 75 are a lot cheaper, so it may be easier to make the purchase sooner, when it...

    Thanks for the insight. I haven't reached that point as of yet, but I am sure that day will come. I have found reading this forum is a great source of information, and has been very helpful on many occasions, but sometimes you need to check things out yourself before you get into a panic. There...

    Hood Stuck with a Twist - HELP!

    Thank goodness for this forum. I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out how to get to the latch to release it. I tried reaching under the hood with a long strip of thin wood, a wire, a bent piece of metal. Put the car up on the ramps, tried looking from underneath. Remove the fender side vent...

    Would you put this part on your car?

    You can always tell when your on to something when the vendor doesn't return you calls/email. He obviously knew that part was defective. I hope you didn't spend too much for the part as it appears that you are going to have some trouble getting your money back. JMHO!
