As the title says, No in the hell do you get the a/c dryer out of these cars? I have the compressor and hoses all loose and or out of the car, but can't figure out how to get to the line on the top of the dryer. Help me before I give up and take it to a shop to have the work done. Zane

Hey Guys and Gals, I haven't been on the forum for a while, simply because of time and the car has been running great - when I have time drive it. I put a whooping 120 miles on her last summer. Well now I have time and I have a problem - NO A/C. The compressor locked up last year So heres my...

As The titls says, I need a defroster switch for my '81. The on/off indicator light in my old one has burnt out. Thanks, Zane

Hey everyone, I haven't been around much lately due to building my garage over the past year and a half, but now its done and I have projects to catch up on! First project is to replace the carburetor on my 81. I would like to know what some of you have used as a replacement. I'm looking into...

Has anyone used the accessory wiring under the coin holder in their car to wire in a cig lighter plug for their radar detector? I tried to wire mine in tonight and kept blowing fuses. I tried wiring in to constant hot and hot only in run and i would blow the utility fuse or the cig lighter fuse...

Had my car on a friends lift today - he's also a mechanic -just for a little looking around. Well we looked and he found. I've got a bent right rear wheel, two bad rear wheel bearing, and a busted right rear parking brake cable. So its time to spend some more money-the wife is so happy!!:mad...

My 94 convertible has the FX3 suspenison. What is a good replacement shock for this system? I have the Bilsteins on the car now, but theres no way in H*** I'll pay 200 bucks apeice for new Bilsteins. Would something like the KYB's work on this set-up? The car has 52K on it and the ride seems to...

Is it possible to put a 6-speed shifter on backwards? I have no reverse lockout on my 94. After taking apart the console and looking at the shifter it appears to be on backwards compared to what the manual shows. The "lockout bar"? at the base of the shifter isn't hitting the metal piece that...

Pics of the new addition that will come up this time! (Thanks to Bud!). Our L81 and our LT1. Now if I could just talk the wife into letting me have the garage space for the 94 permanently! So far no luck, guess I'll need more honey-do points! ZAL81

Since I bought my 94 Vert to be a daily driver, I'm wondering just what to expect this winter. Do C4's get around in the snow or will I be calling in to work at the first snow fall of the season. Being from Misouri, I never know what to expect as far as snow amounts. No major snow last winter...

I have no door open/lights on/key-in-ignition dinger/buzzer on my 94. According to the service manual I have to tear apart the upper dash panel just to get to the piece they call the "TONE GENERATOR" to test it and see if it is bad. Done checked the fuse, couldn't be that simple. Anyone else...

Went to replace the axle shaft u-joints on my 94 the other night and ran into a snag. Got the bolts out of the straps on both ends but couldn't get the axle shaft out-doesn't seem to be any room. Is there something else I have to remove/loosen in order to get the axle shaft out. Took the control...

O.K. Let me try to explain this. My 94 is a 6 spd and has the ring below the shifter knob that is supposed to be pulled up when you shift into reverse. Well mine doesn't seem to be working right. I can shift into reverse without having to pull up on this ring. This is kind of scary since 6th...

Well Fellow L81'ers, Its official!! The wife and I are now the proud owners of 2 vettes. To keep our 81 company, we now have a C4. Its a 94 6 - speed convertible, Red with black interior and black top and the factory hardtop. But to put your minds at ease, our 81 is still "THE" Corvette...

Hey Folks, New to this forum but will be hanging around more now that I'm the owner of C4. This will keep my C3 company. Still can't believe we now have 2 Vettes. To go along with my 81 4 -speed I now have a 94 6 - speed Convertible. Its Red/Black w/Black top and the factory hardtop. Had it...

Well, I did it! Spent the past weekend installing a set of 1.52 roller tip rockers on my car. Got it off the jack stands Monday afternoon(had the day off work)and was able to get it out for a test run. Seemed to have a bit more power across the board, more noticeable on the bottom end, but need...

I'm going to change the brake booster on my car and was wondering if there were any do's - don'ts - check'ons or watch out for's that I have should be aware of? According to the manual, its a pretty straight forward swap except for lack of room to work under the dash. I will probably remove my...

O.K. Lets see who can figure this one out. About a year ago I replaced my exhaust from the headers back - y pipes/converter/Dynomax mufflers- and since that time I'm getting a strange odor at certain time. When and only when I start my car after its completely cooled off , I get a "rotten egg"...

Just bought a new speedometer cable from MAD. Is there any tricks or secerts to replacing the cable on my 81 4-spd? Thanks, ZAL81
