    Help Needed! Drivers door lock wil not lock or unlock

    With it not working in either lock OR unlock, it is a safe bet that it is NOT the "Door Module". It sounds like either a wiring problem from the Module to the Actuator or the Actuator is bad. Jim

    Question: Convertible Top Help

    The short answer is YES, they will work. BUT you need to buy and install a "conversion kit" that Chevrolet does NOT sell anymore. There is one particular vendor on ebay that sometimes advertises a glass window top for 86-93 Corvettes and they will include THEIR version of Chevrolet's conversion...

    C4 conv top replacement hints ?

    I don't have good news for you. You will more than likely have to replace all the weatherstrips. There is almost no way to get to the screws that hold the convertible top retainers. The retainers are the black metal plates that the weatherstrips set into and are glued VERY well from the factory...

    Where to find replace for metal line to heater hose?

    If you have a business in your town that makes up hydraulic hoses, call them and ask if they also can bend up steel tubing. If they do then bring your old tube to them and ask if they can replicate yours. I did this on my 82 but I went one step further and had the shop around here bend mine in...

    White Letter Tires

    For a quick clean up when I am at a show, after I put my tire dressing on I put some "spray brake cleaner" on a rag and wipe the raised white letters off. It gets any tire dressing off and makes the white REALLY POP.

    Help Needed with My 82

    There are a number of thing that can cause this problem but you REALLY need to have a scanner put on the car to properly test it. One problem that is well known on 82s is the ORIGINAL "Coolant Temprature Sensor", in the front of the intake manifold, going bad and sending a signal to the...

    what temp thermosat for '82

    The biggest secret I have found to keeping most ANY C3 running cooler at highway speeds is MAKING SURE the radiator is sealed to the radiator support so ANY air is drawn thru the radiator core and not around the side tanks.

    Luggage Rack Removal

    SOME of us like to use OUR cars for more than speed type events. We found that we could not fit what we needed to bring with us when we travel. Your "take another car" comment is what I usually hear from non-Corvette people when we have our car loaded for a weekend adventure. Another Corvette...

    Starting problem with my yellow 93

    At this point I don't believe the Opti was bad BUT I sure as hell am not going to rip the car apart to put my old one on to try it. Even I am not that much of a glutton for punishment :L !! Like you said, at least I have a shiney new billit aluminum Opti with a sexy red cap on it. The other plus...

    UPDATE!!!!!! Last Friday I came home and started to go thru the check out procedure in the service manual for a "crank but no start condition". Half way thru the procedure the damn car started right up!!!!! Not being the type who trusts a "self-healing" car problem I spent the rest of the...

    Starting problem with my yellow 93

    Monday morning I went to drive the car to work and it would just crank over and not run. When I came home from work in the afternoon I tried it again with the same results. I checked the ECM & the CCM for codes and got none. I checked for fuel pressure and it was at 40psi. I checked for spark at...
