I'm helping a friend of mine sell his Bright Aqua Metallic 1996 Corvette Convertible. It is 1 of 357 with with that color in 1996. Even fewer if you consider it's a rag top. It curretly has 104,000 miles on it and he's owned it for the last 8 years and put 80,000 miles on it. He's documented...

Thanks for replying. I figured it out from another post. When I adjusted the rod that extends down from the outside latch, I extended the adjsting nut too low on the rod. This was putting pressure on the latch mechanism and would not allow the lock lever to release. I popped the clip off the...

I took the door latch mechanism out of the passenger door on my 82 to do some adjustments. Everything worked fine after I put it all back in, door opened smoothly...untill I locked it! Now the door won't unlock and I can't open the door. I've tried using the key and trying to pry levers with a...

I paid with a VISA debit card & never had a problem in the past with refunds or credits. The only reason I called them to begin with is because it was taking longer than my previous transactions with VB&P to get my credit back. The gal at VB&P (who claims to be the only person over there...

I ordered a new set of rear brake calipers from Vette Brakes & Products, paid my $100 core fee, spent $40 in shipping to return my cores to them -which they received Jan. 7th according to my UPS tracking number. Yet I still have not received my $100 core refund. I've contacted them 3 times in...

Found the trouble. The rubber plug in the firewall on the right hand side has three (1/8") plastic hoses coming out of it. One white stripe that goes to the heater valve actuator. A green stripe hose that goes back into the cowl that I believe goes to the fresh air inlet inside the lower...

I have the console and half the dash assembly apart. No hissing and no suction at the air hoses to the switch. So Where ever they get vacuum from is where I assume the problem lies.

I have the 1/8" vac lines and checked all that I could easily see. Had one broken and thought that it was my problem, but not so. I checked the vac lines that run to the consol swtch and I don't feel any vacuum from the incoming lines. I don't know if I should be able to feel vacuum or not -...

Okay, thanks Tim. Now what is the control head? John

Just recently my A/C is only blowing out of the heater ducts. It is still nice and cold but I need the "air" above my feet! Pulled the dash apart and I see that neither the defrost or a/c flapper is functioning. I can manually open both flappers if I connect a brake bleeder pump to the...

Hey Gary, I'm having trouble with my 82 in that the A/C blows cold air but only through the lower heater duct. Pulled the dash all apart and the a/c and defrost flapper doors will not open. I connected a manual vacuum pump to the hose with the blue stripe and the defrost flapper opened...

Good idea, thanks!

I found the problem - I think. I had my battery tested and found out I had 2 dead cells. I never would have guessed it was the battery since its not that old. But I suppose if the car doesn't get driven very often the battery life might be shorter. Anyway the 2 dead cells didn't cause...

I'm having trouble with my 82 CE not starting after it reaches normal operating temp. Starts fine when it is cold. But after being driven for awhile it will not not even crank - I get nothing. Once I wait about 30-60 mins, it will crank and fire right up. I replaced the starter and that...

Not sure? After putting in the rebuilt injectors, I replaced the Opti due to a constant misfire at idle. Later sold the car in 2008. Up until I sold it I didn't have any more issues.

Well aren't all Corvettes pretty much the same with a few exceptions. I mean a convertible is the same as a coupe except for the soft top. If you're buying your Corvette for investment or resale value, you're missing the whole point of being passionate about the car itself. To me that is a...

82 CE's are awsome!

Anyone who pays attention to life as we know it, recognizes the fact that everything occurs in cycles. GM and the Feds should be smart enough to know that. Someone told me the other day that todays market is changing and we have to change with it if we're going to make it through it. As a...

I go along with that. That is exactly what I would have said to Wagoner. But I guess in an effort to save GM with taxpayer money, they had to pay a price.:beer

If I understand Mr. Wagoner's letter correctly, he was asked to step aside. was he forced into it? Of course he was. If he hadn't stepped aside, guess what - no money for you. The BOD at GM would have eventually fired Wagoner in order to save their corporation. End result is still the same. The...
