    Electric remote mirror motor

    I have electric remote mirrors on my 81. The passenger side works fine but the driver side was missing when I bought it back in 1995. I replaced the motor with a spare I had kicking around from an 84 Fiero. It was a direct fit, however, the wiring is upside down (probably because it mounted 180...

    OHM is where the tank is

    anyone know the ohm range (empty vs full) for a stock 81 sending unit? I'm collecting Autometer gauges to replace the stock ones (all bad) in mine and the fuel gauge is the last. The Sport comp gauge I'm looking at is sold with a 1/2 dozen ohm rnges and I don't want to buy the wrong one.

    4 speed speedo drive gear

    anyone know the correct (# of teeth) a 4 speed 1981 would require? The 1979 bw 4 speed I installed in my 81 doesn't spin the 85 mph speedo at the correct speed.

    die cast are nice but I'd rather build my own

    remember when you were 10 and bought that plastic model car kit and ran home and built it as fast as possible? Mag wheels, jacked up, decals, maybe a blower pokin out of the hood. And if you were really talented, maybe you squirted some Testors Pla on it.... Candy Apple Green, metallic purple...

    need driveshaft ideas, advice, help

    I am part way through the conversion of my 81 from automatic to 4 speed. I got the 79 BW installed this weekend and have run into a bit of a snafu. For reasons only Chevy would know, the 81 automatic uses smaller, lighter duty universal joints than the beefier manual trans Corvettes. So...

    Cloth Seat Covers?

    Further down the road, (maybe next year), I want to renew my 81's interior, which is Camel with cloth seats. I really like them and they have endured 26 years and 110,000 miles.
