Hello all, been awhile since I have been here. I have an 81 I have had for about 14 years. A couple of years ago (pre kids) I had dual exhaust installed with no cats. There is no testing in my state of KY. I have since purchased a home that has an attached garage and I have to air it out...
I bought some weatherstrips to replace my mirror ttops weatherstip which is crumbling awhile back. I got cold feet after reading about some people that reported seeing hairline cracks appear in their glass tops sometimes several months after replacement. I replaced the ones on my brothers 77...
I am replacing my 1975s stereo with a new CD player. I have my new harness and everything seems pretty straightforward. The harness wires and colors are all the same except what I am seeing for the red and the black wire. The current harness' black and red wires go into a little black box...
Hello all. OK I gave up on my AC years ago...but that deal requires to be able to get my window down! It quit working on Friday. Where would you start searching? I am sure its the power window motor but hard to say without taking stuff apart I guess. For some reason the drivers window was...
Hello all. Been awhile since I have been here. I had a broken bolt in my valve body when we were installing a shift kit. We finally got it out but I am unable to find anything in the way of new bolts. I have been to several auto places here in Louisville, KY and the best news I have found is...
Hello everyone been awhile since I have been here! Has anyone installed one of these on a 400 trans? I am about ready to re-assemble on the 77 (which has been sitting on jacks for months) and just have some basic questions about this kit. The instructions seem pretty straight forward but now...
Been stumped for awhile on my alternator belt. Tried to adjust several times and not luck. After looking at it closer - the belt fits in the alternator pulley but looks small on the drive pulley. It wasn't sitting at the top of the grooves like it should. So ended up putting a different...
Mine is deteriorated bad...haven't seen these things in any catalog. They look like a "cushion" on top of the radiator on each side. I can post a pic but hopefully you guys know what I am referring to?
My dads 75 is almost done with the repaint. For some reason his had the sport mirrors on it when we bought it. No option list I have seen had these and I assumed that the prior owner put them on when they replaced the urethane bumpers with fiberglass ones.
the body shop guy just called me...
Total redo top to bottom on his 75 vert he bought last year. He even had the engine painted. We did all of the maintenance last year and the cosmetics work was on the agenda. Will post pics when done. He painted it the original medium saddle. So my 81 is running good, his 75 is going to be...
So my brother decided to put a shift kit in his 77. He was almost done when the last bolt he was tightening down in the valve body broke off. Very frustrated because the torque wrench was set a little lower than what it called for to be safe. He is torn on what he should do. There are 11...
Well I think its toast. Leaked all over the driveway after I brought it home from getting windows re tinted. I guess the most affordable solution is to replace myself with a rebuilt? What all should be removed to get to it? I plan on putting on jacks, take wheels off and remove air cleaner...
Ok, going to try to describe this part without a pic. When I put on my 1981 top, there is a pin that slides in by the windshield and a pin that slides in the roof frame. I noticed the plastic sleeve for this pin around the roof frame is cracked. I haven't been able to find this sleeve, just...
So I see my hood start fluttering near the front passenger hinge on the way home. Come home and the two bolts holding hinge to hood on passenger side just fell off. They were both sitting there on top of the radiator, luckily. I reattached and it feels pretty tight but what should I do to...
Hello all, been awhile since I have been on here and the 81 has been cooped up in the garage all winter. I bought a new Les Paul guitar (learning to play) so the car hobby has taken a backseat, but the weather is nice now so getting the 81 out and running again. Looking to change the spark...
Been awhile since I have been on the forum. Cold weather and the kids are keeping my 81 parked! I noticed my headers have several exhaust leaks and I am contemplating replacing. The AIR tubes are busted on the passenger side and screws are bubba'd in the place to stop the air flow. I bought...
Anyone have these on their rear window? I saw them many years ago on an 81 and I always thought they were a cool look (although not sure if I would put them on mine just because it looks like it would be intrusive to fasten them on to something). If anyone has any pics, please share!
I noticed little oil pools on top of the intake under the carb. What are some possible sources for this? It is on both sides centered around the bolts on the intake....:confused
