Hey Guys, I've been reworking the inner parts of my 1981 doors the last couple of weeks. Drivers side done with no problems, new lock actuators, new regulator and window motors. Locks and unlocks with no problems. Passenger side door was going fine, lock actuator in, new window regulator and...

Hello all, On the right side door at the top front near the windsheild post, my weatherstripping is completely rotted away and I have some major rust damage. I've formed a new piece of steel to weld into place there. Is there anything I should know or do before trying to weld this piece into...

Took my 81 out for a ride today. No check engine light since replacing the ECM (about 6 months ago), everything's been fine. About a minute into the ride the CEL comes on but for only about 30 seconds and then goes off. Ride around about 20 miles and then back home. CEL never comes back on...

Hey guys, Well after finally getting the Check Engine Light off and the computer working properly, it looks like I might need a rebuild. Started driving a little more than I have been and noticed a pretty significant knock. I thought it might be timing related but my timing is right on. It's...

I ordered an O2 sensor for my 81 and this is suppose to be it. (see pics). So, my old sensor had two wires and a different connector and the new sensor just has one wire and a round connector. Have any of you changed the sensor? Is there a wire adaptor I need? Any help will be very much...

No check engine light on when I bought the car...bulb had been removed. Replaced bulb and had erratic flickering, so I pulled the computer cleaned all the connections, pulled the chip and reseated it. Now, just getting a continuous blinking of the Check Engine Light. It never goes off, and...

Hey guys, When I bought my 81 it had black t-tops. The car is white. Was this combination ever an option or do I have different/painted tops? I'm gonna try to have the car painted this fall and if the tops should be white, I'll paint them white. Thanks, Jeff

Ok, attached is a picture of my 1981 temp guage. At the risk of sounding stupid, I've got to ask... Is the thick tick mark just left of center 200 or is 200 straight up. What are the values of the other tick marks as you move towards the 260? Just put the new radiator in and just trying to...

Hey Guys, I think my original brake calipers are long gone. Did all the originals have Delco Moraine stamped on them? Mine do not. They just have a number, I've attached a photo of the left rear. Also, do you know, if I buy rebuilt calipers from VBP or Zip will they take these calipers as...

Hey guys, I feel pretty dumb about asking this one, but we removed and unhooked a lot of things getting down to the intake manifold gaskets, and I'm putting it back together now and I can't remember where this bracket goes.;shrug I'm pretty sure it came off the drivers side...and I think it...

Hi all, I'm replacing the intake manifold gasket and before a put it all back together I have a quick question... Where the push rods go into the block there looks like a sleave or insert, some are flush with the block and some are sticking up a bit...see the attached picture. Is this...

Hey guys, I'm replacing the intake manifold gasket, and while I've got it off, cleaning things up a bit. Is this bell looking part the Oil Temp Sending Unit? Is the tube screwed into the block or is it pressed in? I think it may be leaking and I can't find it in the repair manual. There was a...

Hi everyone, I've developed a bad coolant leak at the right front of my intake manifold, going to replace the intake gasket this weekend. What are the torque specs for the bolts? I can't find them anywhere in my repair manual. I have the bolt sequence but no torque specs. I've noticed...

Hi everyone, Quick question: The courtesy light snaps into a small metal bracket that is mounted with a rivet to the kick panel on the right side, but on the drivers side, there is no bracket and my light just hangs there by the wires. Am I missing the bracket or is there somewhere else the...

Hi everyone, been a long time but I wanted to check in with an update and thank everyone for the advice back when I started this project. I now have all the guages working, but my Check Engine Light still blinks...just a continuous slow blinking. New plugs, wires, fluids...she fires right up...

My oil pressure doesn't zero out when I turn the engine off. It drops to the 30 - 35 mark, but not all the way to zero. When I turn the ignition switch on, the guage then drops to zero and after starting the car it jumps up to around the 40 - 45 mark. If I rev the engine it moves a little up...
