Yes, I tried that but it did not work. Thanks.

I have a 1980 Corvette, L82. I had not cranked it in several months. When I crank it, I normally push the pedal all the way down for the choke, and then turn the key. A few days ago, when I turned the key to start, it started up after a couple of seconds. But this time I think the throttle on...

1980 Corvette: Purpose of the Master Cylinder Cap Boot: I have always wondered and I really don't know for sure, but this is my best guess. What is the purpose, other than helping to make a seal, and proper insulation of the Master Cylinder boot under the M/C cap? My guess is when you put the...

Looks pretty cool. But what about them blocking view out of the rear view mirror?

I am looking OEM/Original seats for my 1980. Doeskin in color. I'm pretty sure a 79 and a 80 seat will be the same. I am looking for both the bottom and back. In good condition. I am not looking for aftermarket new or used aftermarket. Thanks.

Yes, I miss spoke. I have always had to hit the pedal for it to idle down. But more recently I've had to hit the pedal harder, and most of the time I had to hit it several times for it to idle down. Yes, it does have a elec choke and the wire is connected. If the lever inside is moving freely...

I have a reman. OEM Rochester quadrajet carburetor. When starting the engine cold, it would idle at a higher idle from the choke. Most of the time in the past after a few minutes it would idle down after warming up a bit. In the more recent past it would not idle down and I would have to give...

I'm sure many already knows this or have already figured it out. I just did. I needed to replace my Headlight Switch and I did not know how, so I started reading. Everywhere I looked it mostly read the same. You have to reach under the switch and find the little spring loaded button. Press the...

I'm trying to locate a noise I'm hearing from the rear of the car while rolling. It's more noticeable at slow speeds. Would it be safe for the car if I put the rear on jack stands with both wheels off of the ground? I'm asking because of the way the C3's drive shafts are. I don't want to cause...

Still trying: Ok, I found out that the check valve in booster was bad. Replaced it and the brake pedal went from being very hard to soft and spongy. I then did a so called bench bleed with a kit I bought from Napa, but I did it on the car. Pressing down slow and releasing the brake pedal slow...

ALL of my lights are working, inside and out. But not the Headlights. Dim or high beam. On the dash the high beam indicator also does not come on. So no lights. I think it may be the headlight switch. Is there anyway to test it? The headlights do pop up when the switch is pulled. That leads me...

Engine is not running: To be clear. The engine has not been started. I hear this with the key turn on just before the starting position..??

I guess you could say I just repaired/overhauled my center bezel and gauges. I pulled all out including the shifter bezel. I did numerous things and all is back together now. BUT, I don't remember if what I am hearing did it before the work. Now, when I turn the ignition key and stop just before...

After driving my 1980 for a couple of months after purchasing it, I thought it may be due to change the oil in the rear end. Not being sure when was the last time. I decided to go with Royal Purple, full synthetic, and the GM Additive. After a few weeks I noticed that I had a oil seepage at the...

Hissing noise: Not really having the time to mess with the brakes today, I still went outside and cranked her up to idle for a while. At least get the oil hot and circulate. The car has not been driven for some time. While idling, I got my small shop air compressor out to put air in the tires...

Thanks for the help: In case anyone hasn't figured this out yet, I am no mechanic..lol Thanks for all the help..

So if I understand you right, you have bled the master cylinder with it mounted on car using one of those brake bleeder kits, by pumping the brake pedal ? Then fill with fluid, cap it, and reattached the 2 brake lines? And then bleed all lines through the calipers? I thought this would work, but...

Be sick all week. Have not had a chance to do anything. Question: Since the M/C is already mounted, is it possible to bleed the M/C while it is on the car, using the bleeder kit, with one person at the cylinder and another pumping the brake pedal? Wouldn't that be the same as doing it with a...

No not yet. I was heading in that direction. I went to Napa yesterday and bought a bench bleed kit. I did not have a chance to do anything today on it. But a question: The master cylinder never was taken OFF. I guess to bench bleed it I will have to do so. Could this be the problem even if the...
