81 parts for sale

[GerryLP]

Morris,

First, for the smog pump, try Bill Hodell. I bought mine from him. These are not cheap. They go anywhere between $45 and $60 dollars for the bracket itself. Just make sure that you specify the one for the L81 with the small hole for the pump bushing. The 1982 - 1984/85 had a 1" irregular hole that required a plastic insert, which is no longer available. The bushing is a tempered steel expanding bushing that slides into the hole, and allows the bolt to cinch down the pump.

Bill Hodell is or used to be a Federal Employee, and so perhaps he has retired, but if not, just leave a message, and he will get back to you.

Also, When you get your replacement pump bracket, make sure that you measure how much gap there is between the top bolt ear and the intake. Often, 0.015" - 0.020" is all it takes to crack that bolt ear. ad

Morris,

I appologize for not responding, I didn't see your posted question, not sure why it didn't come to my email either. I don't have the bracket any more, you might be able to find one at a corvette salvage yard via the internet.

I know they're pretty hard over on this kind of thing out there, I used to live in So Cal, loved the area, hated the politics!!

81 smog parts

I'm also stuck in the Ca smog BS. I need the following parts to get the garage queen on the road.

Hello,
I saw your thread for the parts on the corvette forum and i am interested in several parts. Some are not listed but I wanted to ask if they are available. These parts are mostly related to the smog system. I read through the posts and am assuming the parts are for a 4 speed.

1. Set of valve covers

2. EFE Pipe assembly - this is a small tube on in the engine compartment passenger side that goes from the heat riser at the header/exhaust pipe connection to the thermal valve in the thermostat housing, with bracket/clamps and bolts

3. AIR catalytic converter pipe with ASM check valve and rubber hose- pipe that goes from the catalytic converter to smog pump air control valve, with bracket/clamps and bolts

4. EGR solenoid - it is mounted to a bracket on the passenger side valve cover near the distributor, white in color

5. Stove elbow - plastic elbow connecting the air cleaner to the driver side flex hose exhaust manifold


Any part would be greatly appreciated.

I have a set of valve covers and the air pipe, and a complete air cleaner, but the other smog parts have been sold. Sorry. PM me if your still interested. I'm currently out of town however and may not be able to respond right away.
