    Nothing from the starter...

    Hi Tom. Tanks so much for your help. When I activate the tuning signals with the driving or headlights on, the cornering lights come on, but not the turning/marker lights. All of the lights work and flash when the hazard flasher is on, except the rear side marker lights. All marker lights come...

    Thanks Tom. I replaced all of the bulbs and still no turning signals. The hazard lights all work (and flash), so I'm hoping it's simply the flasher unit. Thanks again, Jim

    Nothing from the starter...

    Great News! I disconnected and reconnected the battery as you suggested and it worked! Thanks so much! I couldn't imagine is was something too serious (or expensive). The car has only 27,000 miles on it and it's hard to believe that a starter with that little mileage would fail, although I do...

    Thanks! I thought of the dead blow too. I'll try that first. I don't have a carbon pile load tester. Can I do the same thing with a battery charger? It check the battery. I'm pretty sure it's not the battery - it's only a few months old. The terminal are clean and tight (I will recheck) and...

    Thanks Bill! I'll give it a shot today. I'm not working today so my plan is to try and get it going. I checked the battery terminals and everything is clean and tight. Next I am going to try the clutch safety switch (PITA to get to), the solenoid, and the starter - in that order. I thought that...

    Question: Replacing rear 9-leaf spring with the monoleaf

    My '81 is a 4spd and came the factory with a metal leaf spring, even though the automatic transmission cars were equipped with a fiberglass spring. The spring in my car was making a racket, so in 1987 (or so) I replaced it with a fiberglass spring. The ride high stayed the same. The ride was...

    Greetings. I need some help with my '81. First, a little about the car. I bought it in 1985 from the original owner, who was a good friend. Now it has only about 27,000 miles on it. It looks new inside and out, and even still as a new car smell. I've won a bunch of shows over the years, but...

    Help! 81 Tires and rims

    Go to Ecklers. They sell the original style slotted rims which are "correct" for the car. You will not find the original Eagle GT's anymore, so the closest match will be Goodyear Eagle GT II's. The good news is that, compared to the price in the mid-80's, these tires are relaively cheal at about...
