So, I get behind the seat and find what I think is the relay (a silver box, but it's hardwired to a circuit board?) and diconnect it from the harness. My problem is, the Chiltons manual doesn't cover it and the Shop Manual only troubleshoots the thing if it's NOT going up or down. Mine doesn't...

Did you find out what the problem was? I just pulled in the garage and my antenna motor wouldn't stop either. I tried to put the radio back on, the antenna went up but the motor wouldn't stop, tried lowering, still wouldn't stop but the antenna is going up or down the way it should. I'm...

Is the stock catalytic converter on the 1982 Corvette considered "high flow"? I want to put on a Flowmaster system to bump up the power and increase the volume. I want it to sound a little beefier but not obnoxiously loud, any suggestions as to which system? I would like it to fit like the...

Mr. Grizzly (that just sounds cool), 2 weeks may be unreasonable, but if I can get the car close to being back on it's wheels, I think he'll finish it. That's what I'm after, yes ME. This is more about me than him, he doesn't really need this to keep him occupied, this is something I want...

Dude, YOU ROCK! Awesome car and site! It looks like I may have to enlist the services of my Uncle and cousins. 3 Mopar guys...I know, I know...but they are kin and are constantly working cars. Dad is fully capable of doing the work himself, he lacks motivation. The problem is that I don't want...

OK, I'm going to answer everyone in 1 attempt. Bud, thanks for getting me in the right forum. Dad IS still a Car Guy, but at 66 (coincidence?) he wants something he can turn the key and drive. I'm hoping this will remind him that he's still alive and can build something. BarryK, the fully...

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new here and have a very indepth problem. I need a list of drive train parts that can be replaced to rebuild my Dad's 1966 Vette. Kinda like for the engine: cam, crank, heads, valves, pistons etc. I need them for all sections though. Engine, Manual Tranny, Clutch...

I can't say for sure, but I bought my '82 non-special edition vette late last year and everything on it seems rock-stock. It came with regular black vinyl bags with 3 snaps and no insignia. All paperwork including owners manual are the original stuff and it had less than 30K miles (still needs...

That looks like some pretty custom stuff. I like the interior work with the exception of the color. Tan just doesn't look right. Does the console around the shifter go up at such a harsh slant normally or was that custom also? Anyway, so far I'm leaning for the first suggestion. Mainly...

It's odd how they did mine....and I think it's stock. The rear speaker grilles are mounted with nut plates to pieces of plastic that are screwed to the back. When it was new, I'm sure that was ok, but as the plastic gets old, it gets brittle. As I'm removing the first grille, a nutplate falls...

So, I finally get to the point where I'm ready to mount the rear speakers, the 2 final pieces necessary to finish the radio replacement.......guess what? That's right, the new speaker magnets are a larger diameter than the old ones and they hit on some metal that goes across the rear of the...

That's odd, I took voltage readings off the brown wire while working the dimmer switch and the voltage stayed at 11.9 vdc. I took the same readings off the grey wire while working the dimmer switch and it varied from 0 to 11.9 vdc. I wired it and put everything back together. I'm now installing...

The orange one is a constant hot so I used it for primary power, that keeps the clock time. The brown one I didn't use. I capped it because it is hot most of the time, unless the tail light fuse blows :L and I don't want it shorting anywhere. I'm doing the brackets for the physical mounting...

ALL RIGHT!! Got it with a minor problem that can't be fixed. I called my local Chevy dealer to see if he had a manual. He didn't of course, but he had one to an 81 chevette (don't laugh) and told me they were probably quite similiar and the brown wire in the 2 wire connector (with the orange...

Hey Mike, the radio does have an illumination input. I'm considering just swapping the yellow and the grey wires. I don't know what else to do. I may also see if my local Chevy dealer has the wiring diagram I can look at for a few minutes. I don't feel like waiting the week or so to order...

This is soooooo strange. I'm looking through regular schematics and I find the Instrument Panel Illumination knob gets it's power from the tail lights circuit. So I flip the knob and see my tail lights don't work, check the 20 amp fuse and it's burnt. Replace it and the dash lights come on...

Back again, went out and plugged in the Instrument Cluster without mounting it, tried the dash lights and they don't work! Dangit! If the antennae were working, I'd feel I've wired it correctly. But now that the antennae isn't working, I still don't know If it's wired correctly. By the way...

Ok, here I am....Last night I thought everything made sense. I went out, finished wiring, and plugged in the new stereo without mounting it. I plugged in the radio and as soon as I powered it up, the power antennae came up. That's a good thing. Then I switched to CD mode and the antennae went...

Thanks for the information everyone, here's the story. I'm putting in an Alpine unit and speakers, but I want to keep things in order so if anyone ever wants to restore it to it's original state, it can be done. The old system works, it's just missing a button. The problem is it sounds bad and I...

Hi all, I have a standard (non-special edition) 1982 Vette. It had the original AM/FM/Cassette/CB radio in it. I'm in the process of replacing it. I have identified all but 6 wires and I can use some help, I have no wiring diagrams on it :( . Here's what I know: Blue 4-wire connector: Rear...
