Help! New '81 Owner Questions

[wackshow]

1.) Does anyone have or know of a PDF version of the owner's manual for an '81? Mine didn't have the original with it when I took ownership.

2.) How do you set the clock and presets on the radio!?!? This is driving me NUTS!

3.) I bought a Haynes manual hoping for a decent parts list but it didn't come with one. Anyone have one or know where I can get ahold of one?

4.) Missing the driver's side side-mirror adjusting "rod." Know a good place to locate one?

More to come most likely, but for now I'm lovin' the ride!

Welcome to the fourm Josh.

1. The manuals are cheap around 10 to 15 dollars on ebay.
2. No clue, someone else can take that one.
3. Again ebay has the assembly manuals for around 25 to 30 dollars, gives you alot of information for the price. Or you can try Corvette america, Ecklers.
4.Sounds like you need the entire remote asem for the mirrors.

Enjoy your new ride.

Forget the Haynes manual - it's next to useless - get the correct GM Shop Manual, the '81 Corvette Assembly Manual, and owner's manual; all the usual vendors have them.

I agree.. A copy of the AIM and an index for the drawings.. available from most vendors for a nominal fee...

Excellent advice.

Not sure about the radio presets, but the hour and minutes are adjusted by slightly pulling out the seek and scan buttons respectively.
