I need to replace the vacuum hose between the E4ME carb fuel vent and the canister; it is very rotten. Have not been able to get the hose off of the canister; there is some type of collar or something to the smaller diameter hose above the connection. Looks like the smaller hose is beginning...

Hello, Need help to ID some cut wires in the engine bay. The location is just below the bracket where the vacuum sensor (MAP) attaches to the firewall, best location diagram is in the manual, fig 8A-91. I have three cut wires: dark green, brown, and black....and am trying to determine what...

I am in the process of re-assembling the car after painting and am ready to begin on the doors; the assembly manual calls-out an adhesive be applied to the area between the body and hinge shims and hinge.......what did you use when you rebuilt your car? Or if anyone else has a...

Does anyone happen to know where I can get a replacement ALDL connector from? I actually just need the connector body itself as the one in the car has torn-up mounting ears. I have checked several Corvette parts vendors, but so far no luck. Have thought about checking-out my local U-Pull-It...

One of the water diverters (those things at the rear bottom of the door opening)...needs replaced. I have not been able to find anyone that sells them; so has someone come-up with a fix that would like to share it?

Any '81 owners that have replaced the stock exhaust 2-1-2 system to a true dual system using headers (not sidepipes)? Looking for brand of headers used and pictures of the exhaust piping routing. Might be time to remove the sidepipes....may be. Thanks in advance.

I managed to break off the spot weld on the mounting tab which tore-out the tube...so no chance of fixing it. So have others had success with one of the flexible dipsticks or another? Is there anything special about the '81 Corvette engine oil dipstick that requires a "special" dipstick or...

Looking for the paint code for mahogany....is it 06 or O6? Thinking about painting my white with cinnabar interior to mahogany with cinnabar interior. White just does not appeal to me....I like a nice strong color.

The center gauge console has two screws that go into the dash....well these have stripped-out on mine and so the screws just fall out. The dash is made of foam, and was wondering what others have done to repair this area so that the screws actually screw-in and provide some support for the...

Does anyone know what the resistance range is supposed to be for the coolant and oil temperature sensors? I would like to check the calibration of the gauges....although calibration is a bit too "strong" of a term. My coolant gauge reads just under the thick 200°F mark, right where it should...

Since I have CRS, could someone tell me what the part number is for the stock GM heads? I think it was "441, or '461 or something like that. Well....found my answer and I was not even close. The stock head part number is 462624.

Had my '81 at a car show last weekend...had the windows down and the doors locked as always. An hour or so later I came back to my car and this guy comes-up to me and we start talking about my '81.... So I reached-in and unlocked the door, opened the door and the horn starts blowing off and...

On the rear, below the bumper cover, approximately next to the muffler hangers; there is a rectangular piece on both sides that bolts to the rear cross-member.....what are they for?

Yep...typo in the title....make that Cinnabar. This is what happens when the "i" key on the keyboard breaks and not wearing glassess. Need some help.....I would like to see pictures of cars with this color combination.....I am really thinking of painting my white/Cinnabar this color. Well...

How can I tell if I have an aftermarket hood or an original hood? I know the underside has been painted, but trying to determine if the hood has been replaced by previous owner? There was no emissions label on the hood when I got the car. Thanks, LannyL81

What trim tool is needed / used to remove the trim around the rear glass?

I know I have read about this before, but a search did not find it for me. So what does this relay do? And more importantly, can I remove it? The service manual is not much help....the wiring schematic does not go into any details...at least that I have found at this point....still looking...

Just wondering if the exact replacement for the MAP sensor is still available or not? I got a replacement MAP connector (just in case) and found that the connector keying is different; it will not plug into the '81 MAP sensor. So has anyone had to replace the MAP sensor and had to splice in a...

So I tapped into the O2 sensor output so I could monitor the O2 output with a DMM and adjust the idle mixture, dwell, etc....so I could try to get near the 14.7 A/F ratio which would be 0.5Vdc. Did not matter what I did, adjust the idle air mixture screws or idle air bleed valve screw...I could...

Since installing aluminum heads I have noticed the electric fans are running now....never did before with the iron heads. I checked the switch and it is good, not shorted. So just wondering if this is "normal" operation due to the aluminun heads and higher compression or is it perhaps...
