solved the problem For the record, I have solved the problem. It seems that I was leaving the tops of it for the week and on he weekend the battery would be dead. All I did was pull the fuse for the alarm and my problem was solved. I know this is a little late but it might help someone else out...

OK guys, I have been having a dead battery after about two days. I thought it was just a fluke but I re-charge my battery, had it checked out, and reinstalled it only to die again. Here is what I have done to the car recently. I have disconnected the oringinal antenna and replaced with...

vibration I think evolution1980 is on the right track. I had that same problem with my 80 when I first got it. I did re-balance the wheels and it helped some but the problem went completely away when I had the steering and some worn out front suspension parts replaced. I had a corvette...

OK guys, still working on getting my 80' in top shape. I seem now to have a wierd noise when I jump on it from a dead stop. Sounds like something slipping real bad. The th350 seems to shift into third gear twice once I get it up to speed. Thats the best way to explain it. I have adjusted to TV...

window problem Yes, I have used one of those kits. I got it from Volvette. The guy I talked with there gave me a little insight and told me not to rivet but to just use the top half of the regualtor and use some self tapping screw in about three places and screw it over the old one so I would...

thanks thanks for the awesome pics. I think I got it from here. One more!!! Hot jet or Headman or Hooker?? Ceramic coated for sure ??? Thanks, Tntruckguy

Thanks for the advice! Do i need to get a different cross member?Someone in my hometown said I needed to change it out for duals. What should I expect running the exhaust underneath?? Too many questions but you guys are pros!!! Thanks again, Tntruckguy Please continue the advice, I will...

Good question! Maybe I should have asked......Anybody have ideas on a bolt up header/exhaust kit for an 1980 with a 350? I am certain I would need a different cross member. I do plan on pulling the motor and "beefing up a bit" and figured I would start with headers and exhaust. I guess shortys...

OK guys and girls. You have not failed me in the past yet! I have a stock 1980 l-48, auto, 350. I would like to add some shorty headers in place of the stock exhaust manifolds. Any advise on brand names, ceramic coating, to do or not to do. Will any brand of Shorty fit? Fire away my C3...

Smog pump I took mine all the way off and did not notice a difference at all. BUT I really noticed a difference when I removed the "CAT" mucho HP!!!!!! Give that a try.:cool

First Corvette I bought mine at the Corvette Expo in Sevierville, Tn in 07. Lots of Corvette folks to ask questions to and I got alot of great answers. My wife and I decided on our first Vette.. a 1980. Complete with new paint, interior and new tires. It needed a tune up and a few general...

Rear Speakers . Look for the trim screws, the speaker is mounted to the grill. I just changed those "lousy" speakers with Kenwoods that I got from Rik's Corvettes in North Carolina. No modification needed. Great sound ! much better. If your a big guy it is a little tight back there but it is...

Thanks!!

OK Dumb question!!!:WWhere is the best place to find this cable? Dont mean to be ignorate.

Well I have leaned on you guys before and it worked so here it goes again. I have recently replaced the trans module on the back of the transmission and that solved all my shifting issues except one. That being the transmission wants to shift into 3rd at a very low RPM.(it is more of a klunking...

Thanks to all!!! Well everyone, I did change out the Trans modulator and that has seemed to fix the problem. It does shift hard, especially into third. I will change out the conditioner that was put in and I should be good to go. Thanks to the experts out there. I know for my next project on my...

shifting fix First of all let me thank those that have "chimed in" I was not expecting quite this response. Thanks guys! I will try changing that vacuum modulator this week end. I assume I can get that at any auto parts supply house. I think I will also change the Trans fluid and drain the...

Trans weirdness Thanks for answering back. As a matter of fact my mechanic did a flush fairly recently, he told me he put some kind of transmission conditioner in it. Not sure what kind. Since I removed the cat I havent had no problems. I think changing the half shaft u joints was just...

Any body ever had this happen... I have a 80 L-48 auto/3sp. Recently the tranmission is wanting to shift from first to another gear at about 5-10mph. It sounds like a drive shaft knock but I have recently replaced both half shaft u joints. I have taken off the Cat and smog and that helped alot...

235's on My Vette I have 235's on my 80'. It really fills up the wheel well!! Looks Great! :cool
