    C3 Brakes

    They fit, they work, and they are 20 lbs lighter. You DO have to shim them to center on the rotor, and you have to remove and tilt the rears to bleed them. Wilwood installed the bleeders in an other than stock position. (dumb).

    700r4

    If you go 700R, get one from a 89 or later car. The early ones have issues.

    The shop can not figure this one out!

    1) I don't see flaming the place for turning the rotors. You were running on the rivets. Let it go. 2)Rotate the tires front to rear. That will tell you if it is the tires. 3)My money is worn out ball joints or such. Go to a decnet alignment shop and have it checked. You have to have some...

    frayed wires in engine compartment

    But the AIM and the Helms GM shop manual. All the Vendors have them. Use the Chilton's to start your next fire in the fireplace.;)

    81 Comp Carb

    Sensei, I had the 81 dynoed today. The mixture was flat across the board. Maybe this feedback carb stuff does work well.

    81 defrost duct connector?

    Nope. When you take yours apart, you'll see. It was poorly designed.;)

    81 defrost duct connector?

    That's just the way it was made. You aren't missing a thing. When I had my dash out, I used foil tape to tie them together. Still doesn't really work for s--t.

    Question on shocks and a coolant leak..

    The dangling plug is the oxygen sensor if the colors are tan and purple. Hard to tell. Is there a sensor in the exhaust pipe right there? Is it plugged in?

    Question on shocks and a coolant leak..

    ;LOL;LOL;LOL Now I understand the confusion. Ready? ? That's a 120v block heater installed in the freeze plug hole. ;LOL;LOL;LOL

    Question on shocks and a coolant leak..

    Yep. That's a freeze plug. If you have any wire 'danging' close on an '81, that would be the ox sensor wiring, or the prop valve wiring, or maybe the oil temp/press sender wiring. The oil temp sender, if you have that option, screws into the bloock right above the oil filter.
