choke light keeps flickering while driving
im new to corvettes, just bought my first one a 80 L-82 and while driving my choke light on the dash flickers on and off and there is a buzzer that makes noise while the light flickers also , drives me crazy , any help?? and there seems to be a little left to right play in the steering wheel while driving, it does need new tires and im sure a front end alignment, but i thought you might have other suggestions? thanks for any help

On my 81, the choke lite works on more than just the choke. I couldn't pass smog with the choke lite on, so it had to be fixed. Can you run the diagnostics by the ashtray? :flag

I looked up your vette's year, an '80.
Most likely cause I've found on this:
Check your alternator connections (and ground). If OK, check the alt output.
Good Luck -Rod :chevy

Just fixed one last week, doing the exact same thing and it was the brown wire on the Alternator. Was broken at the plug.
