Window sticking problem solution I hope this information helps others with this frustrating problem. Following my last post, I tinkered a bit more with my window motor/cable assembly and found the following: The Door Control Module controls the "window express down" action through two relays...

Recently, my 2000 6-speed drop top passenger window began acting up. When fully DOWN the window did not roll back up and only gave a subtile control module "plunk" when the window switch was pressed to either up or down. Two pluks for up, one for down and a small voltage drop in the down...

I'm a multiple C-3 owner and fan, perhaps "former fan", now I also own a C-5. Nice car, great ride but I hope I never have to work on it...... Today I noticed a significant problem where my 12 disk CD changer decided to skip several lines of more than one (legally copied chill-mix, mind you)...

My 7th C-3, a barebones 71, L-48, auto, new Brands Hatch green paint out, old green vinyl in, and (O.M.G!) manual astrovent windows needs a new interior. RPO trim plate shows the car was hatched with the GM vinyl seat covers and standard door panels. I am inclined to go leather for this...

L-81 Steering vague fix-maybe? I own 2 1981 Coupes, 60k and 35K cars, both are great cars but had multiple steering issues. If all is working as designed, your steering should be precise, smooth and should feel neutral. Both my cars were fixed by reducing the lash in the box gearing by...

Manuals ordered, money sent, work ahead. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't see a "Service or Shop Manual, so I decided to try the NCRS chassis, electrical and assembly manuals. Now, can you suggest a good banker? Happy motoring. Bruce G.

Ordered me a manual or three... Thanks for the heads up. I looked at several sites, decided to try the NCRS manuals (3 of 'em). I'll see how comprehensive they are and will add the Helms chassis manual if needed. Happy motoring. Bruce G.

Having recently purchased a 1971 Corvette formerly owned by Bubba Bin Ladin, I am now in need of a shop manual for this needy but wonderful car. EBay and Amazon guages show "empty", any suggestions for a good source other than a GM dealer's typical NotInStock inventory? This car needs seat...

Replaced my 36,000 mile L-81 power steering system complete with all new components from C/A when I noticed the Control Valve was leaking (a common problem). PS CONTROL VALVE (rebuildable core) and CYLINDER are available for sale. The C.V. needs a rebuild, kit is about $25. The CYL is good...

Rick, If the fitting has a 3/8" male pipe thread leg, it should work. I would call this the "lower" or "lowest" leg of however many there are, don't know if that is what you have. This piece of work screws into the top plenum of the 350 intake right behind the carb. Any picture available? I...

Been There, Dun That. I searched Paragon's web site earlier today. Their PN #: 3718 is not described in terms of thread and port sizes so I didn't buy. It looked like it would fit, but so did O.J.'s gloves. In the interim, I left an e-mail inq with them this afternoon before I posted my...

Thanks for your reply, Rick. As stated, I could use either the preferred three port or my second choice two port fitting. GM even shows P/N's for a one port adapter in the same application(#14020679, for MX3). Bubba had two vac lines wye'd together with another plastic wye fitting and then...

New Member from northern Minnesota where Ole and Lena live. Two C-3 Corvettes (Silver Frost 1981 L-48 37,000 mile almost investment quality Coupay and Hunter Green 1979 L-48 85,000 mile driver Coupay) with need for a vacuum fitting. Previous owner, name of "Bubba", replaced stock iron intake...
