Gary, Thanks for the reply. I actually have the shop manual, but to a total layman like myself, it's like reading Latin. Ultimately, I would get any repair done by a local shop, but I don't have a long history with the shop, so I like to have an idea of what the issue is beforehand. So, I was...

Thanks for the reply. I have some comments and questions. The separator is near the top of the tank. I have not had the tank past half full for perhaps the last 5 months. When this leak specifically occured, it happened after an hour of driving with the tank between 3/8 and 1/8 full. Would...

Have an 81. Still learning my way around the car, just got it in the fall and have very little experience. Spring has come and I had the car out a few times, yesterday being the longest time this year, approx an hour driving or so. (Note: I had taken it on several 2 hour trips in the fall...

I have a volt meter, don't yet have a charger, but looks like I should go pick one up tonight. Did not have any problem before I did the interior work. Again, I just had the doors open hours at a time working on the seats, carpeting, etc. I am really curious why I was able to jump it two...

No, I have not tried a charger. Don't own one, but could buy one if that's what everyone suggests. But why was I able to give it a jump successfully two days ago, but not today? When I did this two days ago, I was able to crank as much as I wanted when jumping it with my Explorer. But why not...

Please help! I had been doing a lot of interior work in the car over the last week, and I had the doors open and interior lights running a lot, but had not started the car in a while. I went to start it two days ago and the battery was dead. But, I was able to jump it successfully. I drove...

In need of some advice, as usual (hopefully someday I can reciprocate with advice for others). My blower fan is making some noise. It's most annoying in low speed when the ignition is first turned on. It's not a bad bearing, but rather it seems that fan impeller is rubbing through a portion of...

Thanks for all the explanation. Actually, I already have a factory assembly manual and was looking for some details on the actual antenna assembly, and I found one assembly drawing that shows it, but it is not evident how to access the antenna by looking at the assembly drawing. Do I access...

I ordered the Helm shop manual. Perhaps I am asking some simple questions here, but I am new to the Corvette world and the jargon everyone is using. You used the abbreviation AIM. What does this acronym mean? Al

Thanks. I don't believe it's the stock radio. It's says Corvette on the cassette door, but it is digital with LED buttons, scan features and so forth. I would have guessed that stereo is late 80s vintage. Would this have an impact on the connection or operation of the antenna? What does...

OK....does that have any hidden meaning or something? Do you mean that it's common for the fuse to blow? Al

I appreciate the response, but I guess I could use some additional details. I don't even know how to access the power antenna. There is no sound coming from the antenna mechanism at all when the radio is turned on. Thanks, Allen

New owner in need of help. Spent a good time driving it and now I want to start repairing lot of little things. Currently waiting for shop manual to arrive by mail. Power antenna is not moving up. Don't even know where to start. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Al

New owner in need of help. Spent a good time driving it and now I want to start repairing lot of little things. Currently waiting for shop manual to arrive by mail. The rear defroster does not currently work. The switch does not click into any position when moving it forward or backwards...

Hi, I am new to the forum. Just bought a 1981 Vette and will be driving it home on Friday. One issue that I see with the car is that the t-tops sit too high on outside edge and don't make any seal on those outside edges (towards the side above the windows). They sit properly towards the inside...
