I had the silver/gray cloth seats in mine. I just went to a local auto upolstry shop and asked the guy what he could do. Sky was the limit, I chose 2 different fabrics, one with a patteren for the center of the seat and a plain for the side bolsters so they are custom made but of the same...

Yeah, if you find the other end of that orange wire you'll find it's hot all the time and was used for the memory in the radio.

Sorry I didn't post this before, here's the website, they have a toll free number listed. http://www.nationalcarburetors.com/

I bought a lifetime warrented remanufactured carb from National Carbs, was perfectly clean bolt on install. Fixed all my hesitation and choke probs, very happy with and it's been installed about 3 years now.

There's an adjustment screw located on the rod attached to the outside door handle, make sure this is adjusted properly and that it engages the mechanisam but also that it doesn't leave presure on the mechanisam when not in use or the door won't open after it's locked.

Hmmm, mine runs above the water temp but it takes a long time to get there, usually over 40 min and sets in at over 200 but once it gets to temp stays pretty consistant after that.

I'm with Tim on this one, did the national carbs thing and bolted it on 4 years ago and haven't looked back, I got the lifetime warrenty verision, worked like a charm.

It's not hard to check the gear but have a pan ready when you pull it out cause you'll probably get some fluid when you take it out and that's probably where your problem lies. If the gear has been chewed up I'd drain your tranny and replace it. The driven gear will come out with the whole...

When you make sure there is no clear coat, a die grinder and felt bobs along with some mothers aluminum polish can make them look like this with a little time.

Mine has a guard on the alt bracket to keep the hose away from the belt.

Well, if you take off the drivers side carpeted panel you might be able to reach up behind the gage cluster and get the socket out, they just twist out and back in. Getting the cluster out is easy tho, six screws, the 4 on the outside of the cluster and the 2 underneath attaching the cluster to...

Check Engine Just take the bulb out of the sockett in the gague cluster, easy...

Dash Bulbs Only if you're flexible enough to snake your arm up that far behind the dash and hopefully get the bulb out and the new one in. It's not that hard to get the speedo bezel out and you can replace all the bulbs and any bad sockets at the same time. If I remember I had to remove...

Great place to get wiring harness connectors I have to let you guys know of a source I've found for getting the connectors for wiring harnesses. http://www.thecliplink.com/cliplink_catalog.htm I was able to get an connector to the mixture control solenoid for an 81 carb with computer command...

Vacuum Sensor Looks like I've been able to answer my own question, these are now what's know as a 2 bar MAP sensor, bosh style, available at most auto parts stores and Summit online.

I've got a code 34 for the vacuum sensor circut so I checked the hose going to it and found the sensor itself had fallen apart. I was able to glue it back together and fix the vacuum leak but the sensor itself is shot so I've still got the code 34 going on even tho the vac is fine. Does...

Dr Rebuild shows them in his catalog for 20.90. Chuck

I did this to my Vette last year and used the poly kit and I'm very happy with it and not a squeak to be heard anywhere but the brakes, lol. I also went with the 460's and like them also. The poly bushings come with some white grease to use with them, I used it and have no squeaks. Chuck

The 81 shop manual goes into pretty good detail about what the Computer command control system does and how it works.

Carb The carb from these guys looked brand new, it goes throught a "tumble" process that cleans up the entire base of the carb and then it's redone with all new parts, I'm very happy with mine. Chuck.
