Trade my 99 Civic for bodywork/paint on my C3?

Being fed up with my 75 sitting in the driveway in a coat of primer, I got some quotes on paint and they were all 4k and up. The Vette needs some body work (cracked front fender and other stuff) and...

True, but that connector going from the plenum to the fuel pressure regulator is mated and then runs towards those two valves in question. My vacuum diagram under the hood shows this but doesn't...

Man, that picture is just what I needed! Thanks a bunch! I think I'm missing that valve that sits above the water pump. Does the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose connect to that valve or the one...

I am in need of the longer rack and pinion metal line for my 85. I'm not 100% certain what years will work, but I heard that 85-89 will work. Let me know what you have, send photos and I will see if...

Gotta do what you gotta do, the price was set because it wasn't running right. When it gets smogged and ready to go, I would think 2k would be a bit low. I guess these cars are worth more in parts?

86-89 MAF sensor on an 85?

I can't figure out why my car is running so rich, but I realized today that a MAF sensor from an 86 is different from an 85. Right now i'm running an 86 sensor on my 85 and it runs pig rich. I'm...

1985 C4 in Central Cal $2000

It really bugs me to sell the car but I am left with few choices. My 85 Corvette has remained a project car for me and I can't afford to put any money into it. It runs but it is running really rich...

It looks like we have the exact same problem. Check to see if you have any codes. Do you hear the fuel pump prime at all?

Car immediately stalls when started, gotta fix or have to sell it!

My 85 TPI stalls immediately after I start it. As long as I push the gas pedal, it will idle, but very poorly. I don't get a service engine soon light and it smells like raw fuel out of the exhaust....
