    A TPMS Headache!!!

    Glad you got it figured out! I had a similar issue on my truck. Gotta stick with AC Delco on stuff like this I guess!

    Intake manifold options for an 81

    I have an Edlebrock Performer intake, however, from what I understand, power increases are negligible. The stock intake is aluminum, and already pretty good. Changing the heads, and a true-dual exhaust are where the big gains are.

    Bleeding brakes on my '81. Pro tips anyone?

    GTR1999, The horseshoe clip is there, holding the rubber hose, but is not visible at that angle. The e-brake clip has sheered off, and apparently that isn't the first time. It looks like somebody welded in a replacement and that broke too! But when I pull the E-brake the car stops so I know...

    Stripped brake caliper mounting bolt hole

    Well, I had great success using a Heli-Coil. I know that wasn't the recommended fix, but the packaging for the Heli-Coil kit even said it was great for caliper mounting brackets. It was so much easier than I thought. I didn't know the mounting holes could be drilled from either side, and after...

    Stripped brake caliper mounting bolt hole

    Thanks for the info guys. Wish I didn't have to press out (and then in) the bearing to get the bracket off... I might as well just replace it if I went that far, which I don't want to do. Wish me luck! -Tatortot

    Stripped brake caliper mounting bolt hole

    I had to replace my right-rear caliper last week, but when I went to tighten the right mounting bracket bolt (towards the front of the car) it didn't feel "right." I decided to check on it again and now I can feel that the bolt hole appears to be stripped. I went as far as replacing the bolt...

    Here's a picture of the new caliper. You can see what the brake cleaner did....

    Bleeding brakes on my '81. Pro tips anyone?

    I assume paint, as the brake clean I sprayed on it clouded the finish ;LOL -Tatortot

    Bleeding brakes on my '81. Pro tips anyone?

    It worked! The brakes feel great again. Thanks for all the tips! Now to tackled the front. dougelam: She's all buttoned up right now so no pics handy. But this is the caliper I ordered.

    Bleeding brakes on my '81. Pro tips anyone?

    Fantastic replies from all. You guys are absolutely correct in that the Mity-Vac is a waste of time. I had my girlfriend pump the brakes as I bled and it got MUCH better. The brake light even went out. However, the pedal still goes to the floor. It stops, but it can be better. I bled each...

    Bleeding brakes on my '81. Pro tips anyone?

    After discovering the brake fluid in my vette was at least 6 years old, and seeing that it was no longer clear, I decided I wanted to change the brake fluid out. The method I was going to use was gravity bleed through the rear calipers first, but making sure the fluid never got empty at the M/C...

    Code 21: TPS test procedure help. Paging Gerry!

    :cool!: I found that the stainless steel tube going to the top tee connector (I think it links to the transmission??) was also leaking. The rubber piece connecting the manifold to the tube was original and completely perished. So that's replaced too. Next on the list is to take it for a test...

    The Corvette Action Center Suffers a Loss

    Yoda gave me my still-sticking nickname here on the CAC. I was 16 or 17 at the time, and he has always been the first person to jump in and help when I have a question. He also is the first person I think of when I think about the CAC. I miss you, Bud. -Tatortot

    Code 21: TPS test procedure help. Paging Gerry!

    Thanks Antz81; it's all FINALLY starting to make sense. It should be 17081228 for a non-CA automatic Corvette. Apparently 17081222 is off of 5.0L automatic Malibu, Impala, Caprice, El Camino/Caballaro, Camaro, Century, LeMans. UGH. I wonder what the differences are? And I wonder how much...

    Code 21: TPS test procedure help. Paging Gerry!

    Okay, I got the new TPS in, and it has been adjust to .56v. Also a new accelerator pump, and air horn gasket. It doesn't seem to have cured my problem, but the rough idle seems slightly better. I haven't done another fuel consumption test yet. I decided to keep looking for other vacuum leaks...
