Practice Post? Good place to start..
Avatar and Signature editing can be confusing for some. A good guide/instruction post would help people I bet.
Trying out a new avatar and signature here... :cool!:
Awesome looking rim and tire setup
What is the exact rim and tire size you have there? Any modifications to fit?
Is it even 15" rims? 16"? Definitely a gorgeous crossfire Corvette... Classic..:)
:thumb Trust me, I don't care to attempt anything critical with my car care.:) I am just trying to figure out what is causing the pull to the right issue. Observation and simple tests are plenty for me. While my mechanic installs the proper mount for the power steering pump, I will have him...
When you say suspension aligned, do you mean a standard front and rear alignment? Going to a shop for an alignment is my last step. I just thought that if the pull was being caused by a steering component I would check to see if the problem wasn't alignment related. Even if the pull isn't due to...
:upthumbs:w Greeting all, I have not posted in several years.
Well the 1980 I bought 2 years ago has pulled right since I bought it. My last vette was a 1981 and its trouble was play in the steering. It was easily fixed by adjusting the steering gear box. The new 1980 doesn't have any play in...
My flashers would not work for the first 2 years I owned my 81. I did everything you described as well. Then a few years ago I think I got aggravated trying to track down the trouble, so I just repeatedly pressed the flasher button on the column. Sometimes fast and hard several times in a row. I...
Well since I could use a new set of rubber seals, perhaps I will get in there far enough to find some mounting adjustments. I have lazy slow pop up on the side of the rub. So it maybe time to try to correct it all at once.
I have seen blow up pictures that mention a "capsule adjustment" screw...
The choke relay making a buzzing sound was the beginning of my trouble. Its a green 3 prong relay located in the center console. Once removed and bypassed, I am assuming my only circuit protection is the 20a fuse above the fuse box. (Which I have never had any problem with)
Since to my...
I have noticed over the summer my headlight housing is slowly shifted backwards, causing damage as it opens to the top of the opening. I have not run into anything, and I have not messed with anything in the frontend. My question is, is there an adjustment to make the entire headlight assembly...
The final Solution
Well the new rebuilt original carb runs great, but the choke issue was never completely resolved:
1. The Green Relay for the electric choke was shot... there is to my knowledge no replacement for it...
2. We bypassed the choke relay and hooked to the generator. Kept the...
I had a similiar problem with my Corvette when I bought it. My mechanic said it was just a couple loose bolts on the rag joint. When you turn the steering wheel, if see can physically see the play near the rag joint, simply tighten up the bolts with the steering wheel centered. Cleared up my 4...
Ok I am not a mechanic, and my mechanic is stuck on this at the moment.
We just had the carb rebuilt. ( about $200 professionally done stock QuadraJet) Installed it and it was great for about a day. Lots of new power and top end speed. BUT after a day I noticed the RPM increasing and then...
That was it my friend. Popped the lower seat cusion up...pulled the wire up through the hole in seat frame, and sure enough one wire was severely crimped. Soon as I straightened it out, power seat came back better then ever.... Sometimes fixing the small things easily CAN HAPPEN....:)
Thanks for...
I have the electrical charts for my 81. But I am not sure where to start.
Worked fine for years, but dead this spring. Anyone have any experiance troubleshooting the driver side stock power seat in there 81 ?
John,
I have never repaired the rust damage and my leak is as bad as ever. I did remove the inside black trim. Basically filled with about a pound of rust crumbles..:( I removed all I could and cleaned it out, to my knowledge the entire driver side top windsheild frame is disinegrated...
