When an engine is shut down, the coolant temperature begins to drop. If the vacuum valve in the radiator cap fails, the resulting vacuum in the cooling system can cause a radiator hose to collapse

Does back seat fold down if so do that and crawl in trunk. All trunks have to have a emergency release handle

Please go to the crossfire injection forum to get some straight answers to the 82 corvette CFI system and how to troubleshoot it properly. There's a lot of misinformation given here, so much so, I don't know where to begin.

One thing is, the 82 corvette CFI does NOT have a MassAir Flow sensor system, it uses MAP and O2 mostly. The CTS sends a signal to the ECM telling it what the temp of the motor is and in turn the ECM controls the amount of fuel being dumped. On the older (orignal) CTS sensors, they have one wire and takes its ground from the threads. If any coorosion takes place, usually the CTS will report a cold engine and request lots of fuel.

To repair this issue, install one of the newer style CTS sensors that have two wires, one for signal and the other is ground.

Fuel pressure and vacuum leaks on any CFI motor play key roles. Set the FP to 14-15psi measured inbetween the TBs. The regulator is located on the rear TB and must be slightly moded to make it adjustable and can be done in a few minutes.

Your dash light...(instrument panel fuse is blown) or the headlight switch is bad...If you need any parts...the internet for corvettes is awesome. Hope this helps...(Just over 100,000 ) corvettes were made in 1975...

If your steering is operating normal and you replaced the valve, a front end aling will staighten your wheels and center your steering wheel

It could be the charging system fuse but I would check to see if there is power to the F or field side to the alternator.

Replace ignition switch first.

one end should have a spade terminal to plug on to, and ring should have rivits that face up to contact to horn cover button

It ranges from 345 to 380 ft lbs, depending on drivetrain. If you know the peak HP rating devide 5250 by the HP. That will be your torque at the peak HP rpm.

Should be 195 depending on what temp thermostat is in the car

The letter V stands for made in Flint. 1023 is October 23rd The letters HW can mean its a 1965 model 327 or a 1969 model 350. The casting number should tell you which size it is.

Find a place that clean remove as much as part in order as you can. oil pan drop it transmission pan drop it battery remove and keep thing clean as possible. starter intake everything fan power pump and radiator than you can remove hood and get a lift for engines and unbolt the trans than the motor mounts

Hopefully you used a good fuel stabilizer before storage. Check your oil and coolant levels. If the car didn't smoke before storage, then you should be ok with starting it. If it did, you may want to spray a little dab of wd-40 or some other type of lubricant into each plug, or just remove airfilter and spray just a tad while starting, not really necessary, but can give you a little piece of mind. You should change your oil and filter at your first convenience, and when you do start it, run it for a good 20 minutes to burn off any impurities in the engine. Before driving, check your tires and air pressure. I would recommend changing tires if you see any signs of dryrot or cracking in the sidewalls before driving very fast(above 70). The rubber in tires will degrade over time, it is harder on them in storage than driving them.

did you look where the passenger puts their feet under the carpet up high

use AC for your corvette they are known not to cause much problem as others. some times passenger side is just harder to get to try different flexable ratchet.

common problem check ebay motors for a replacement motor for that side
