    Is this a new record?

    Bud, As you might have noticed, it's been a while since I have been on the CAC. I've lost a bit of proficiency in the CAC search department and so when I found the 50th AE website and found this tidbit of info, I was just couldn't wait to get them out and compare the difference. I have since...

    Is this a new record?

    I picked up a 2003 AE coupe a couple weeks ago, and not having driven a C5 before, the ride seemed good. I have a C3 and had a C6 so comparisons are difficult. Well I just got back from my local dealership, and after ten years :ugh, the shock stuffers have finally been removed. What a...

    Vacuum map sensor code #34 T/S

    Gerry, Part of the problem was that I expected to see a vacuum tube similar to what was coming out of the sensor and by the looks of what was there, I thought it had been cut. When you pointed me to the carb, I saw the short rubber tube with the narrow plastic tubing running out. The other...

    Vacuum map sensor code #34 T/S

    small success I found the thin vacuum tube from the carb and reconnected to the map sensor. I think what may have happened is that it got removed during the valve cover gasket replacement (one of many things in the way) and it being so small, got overlooked. Thanks goes out to the CAC folks...

    Vacuum map sensor code #34 T/S

    trouble shooting continues Gerry, I appreciate the insights. I'm currently scratching my head again. I pulled the cover off the firewall with the map sensor in there and the vacuum hose is just a short, cleanly cut stub not going to anything. If this is apparently how it has been since I...

    Vacuum map sensor code #34 T/S

    No, but it looks like its time to get one. I really haven't had the need until now. Everything in the past has been cosmetic or strictly mechanical.

    Vacuum map sensor code #34 T/S

    OK folks, After enjoying six years of relatively trouble-free crusiing, the old girl is beginning to finally show her age. Here's the history: About a year ago: new plugs, wires, dist cap, replaced a broken exhaust manifold bolt (driver side), plugs that were in the car were just a tad colder...

    Check Engine Light

    I recently replaced plugs, wires, and cap. The old plugs were slightly colder than called for and must have been installed by PO. Replaced with correct ones. Now the Check Engine Light comes on at idle and goes out when cruising (auto trans). I thought maybe after a few tanks of gas the ECM...

    My 81 !!

    That's odd! What are the odds of both tires being in almost exactly the same position after pulling in the driveway? Tell the truth. You jacked her up and rotated that rear one to match the front just for your babies photo-op. ;LOL

    why dont C6 guys wave..?

    I always wave. If I have enough time, I give 'em a wink too when I'm in the C3. My '81 has a lazy headlight and I can get the driver's light to come up and go down before the passenger light knows what's going on.

    My 81 !!

    Nice color! Good lookin' car. I gotta ask....when you leave burnout marks in the road, do you call them raybee's shots? :L Good luck with the paint job.

    Extended Winter?

    Just when I thought I reached a peak in my life, I'm going to have to wait some time to drive the new ride. I tore my left Achilles tendon last week and can't use the clutch. :ugh I haven't gotten the full story from the doc yet, but it looks like it's going to be a while. Thank goodness I...

    New Member....Saying HI!!

    Welcome Neal! 81's rock. We don't need no stinkin' chrome bumpers ;LOL Must say one of the best weekends I ever had started in Staten Island. My ship pulled in there for the Desert Storm homecoming parade. We were on the opposite side of the pier from the USS Wisconson (16" guns are...

    Show off your C6's!!

    Recently purchased 2008 crystal red metallic LS3 coupe. It's my new rocket ship to go along with my 1981 time machine. One from each century!

    Late to the Party

    Thanks Patrick for supersizing my ride. You and Jane Ann are doing a great job. As for the other topic....I took a job that requires me to be out of town a lot. Great job, great pay (spoken "new vette"), but family separation reminds me of the old "Navy" days. Thank goodness for Skype. See...

    Late to the Party

    Well it took awhile, but just added a 2008 CRM coupe to the family. I've had an '81 for the last five years. I don't have words to describe the difference. I guess I'll be splitting my time in the forum section. Pics coming soon.

    Speedo cable

    sad but comical update The sad part is I really haven't had a chance to mess with the speedo cable. The comical part is that I went out and bought a 2008 coupe so I didn't have to. The best part is I still have the '81 and the wife likes driving it now, soooo.....I get the '08 and she gets...

    Speedo cable

    Here's what I think I know so far. I have the cruise option (K35) so I have an upper and lower cable. I disconnected the upper cable from the transducer and when I twist it manually, I can get action on the speedo. First question: Is there supposed to be anything on the end of the upper...
