Heater core is leaking in a 1981 corvette, has a R-12 a/c system where can I get this part and at which auto shop can fix it?
You can order the heater core at any Auto Supplierthat specializes in A/C, heater,radiator,etc parts,alsomaybe an auto parts storeI will be sarcastic here. Anyone owning a corvette, shouldbe doing their own workIf I could buy a stingray brand new, at age 19 & do a frame uprestoration,bore the old 327 & sleeve it at 22, & rebuilt the trans,without any help or knowledge,you should be able to installa heater core.
Heater core is leaking has a R-12 A/C system
Replacing the heater core won't affect your freon. R-12 has become a rare bird, and is worth it's weight in gold. There are now synthetic freon that is available that can replace R-12, and can be found at most shops that do A/C work.
What troubleshooting order for no VDC circuits working?
You most likely have a smoked fusable link wire. I cannot give you specifics because I cannot look it up on the infomation services I use because it is too old. However, most of the older GM vehicles had several fusable links that connected to the starter solenoid and provided power to the fuse block inside the car as well as the headlamps and some of the engine control circuits.If you do find one burned, you have to figure out what gauge wire is in the fusable link. You can then buy some fusable link wire to match at most auto parts suppliers. DO NOT replace a fusable link with regular wire.
I just bought a 1981
A lot of replacements made in China are cheap but do not meet the exact standards for form, fit and function. Suggest going to GM dealer for parts.
Only hi speed on ac
This problem is caused by a burnt out Blower motor speed control resistor. The part is near the Blower motor and is held into the air duct by two small hex head screws. The part is chap and easy to replace.
I have a 1981 corvetter
on a car that old the speedo is most likely mechanical. there is a long cable in a jacket coming out of the end of the transmission which goes into the back of the speedometer. jack the car up and find and unscrew that cable. if it is broken buy a new one at a dealer or parts store. if it is not broken find an old transmission man and find out if there is a replaceable speedo drive gear in the transmission. if not you may be looking around for someone to fix that old speedo. google it i am sure there is someone out there willing to take your money.

Double check all your upper gaskets for a vac leak... spray brake clean around intake surfaces - if idles up you found your vac leak.

- The observation with your vehicle implies mechanical malfunctions likely caused by insufficient, clogged, or burnout lubrication fluids. Since the component parts experiencing malfunction are observable at significant vehicle areas like power drive trains, several conditions are likely factors to driver's suspicion. For example, the drive train of significant mechanical sprockets linked at joints making propulsion possible with the control lever situated at drivers seating area is significant reason of concern. First, the driver's lever control functions hydraulically as modern improvement made possible with fluid lubrications, and several absorptions chambers. Once, an engineered hydraulic mechanical lever is realized to dispense manual contact requires inspections. First, a mechanical inspection to ascertain the conditions of constutuents providing hydraulic should be made on the vehicle. The possible outcomes include findings of an absence of faulty turbines implying no wear had occurred. Second, the observation findings may ascertain a burnout fluid that may require replacement procedures. For example, burnout hydraulic fluids usually may require cleaning draining, cleaning the residue slug from turbine areas making possible replacement of newer fluids. Hydraulic fluid conditions usually may require resistant variety that performs under overexerted conditions. For example, the fluid type may vary depending on the task requirements of the vehicle. Also, the type of condition expectations of the vehicle would require frequent hydraulic inspections.
When i push brake on 81 vette, the rear window
sounds like you have a bad ground in the dash area or possibly the brake arm is contacting or rubbing a wire when you press on it. these wires problems are hard to find and take a lot of time. start by investigating the brake peddle area
