Re: 1981 corvette
So the front end came off Bruce. I removed the quadrajet from Bruce and installed it onto Alex's vette. You push the gas pedal 2 - 3 times and it fires right up. It has a bad exhaust leak.

Re: 1981 corvette
I thought the same thing on the snorkels but 81 only came with L81. I'll check the block stamping when I get it apart.

Re: 1981 corvette
So I fell into a donor car. 1981 corvette, blue, $1k. I got it home and got it running on the trailer. Next to put tires on it and see if it moves under it's own power. It looks to have a new master cylinder, pads and a passenger front caliper. Then I'm going to pull the quadrajet off it and out it ...

I believe it's an exhaust leak. I'll see what I can do though.

Re: 1981 corvette
well maybe "running" is a stretch. it starts, idles for a minute or three. then dies. touch the throttle, it dies. leaks a tiny bit of gas from the filter bowl even though everything is tight. BUT the up side is no knocks and 38 -40 psi (on the oem gauge) of oil pressure. https://youtu.be/...

Re: 1981 corvette
the car runs (sort of) kind of idles on it's own. Probably going the Holley Sniper EFI route as he says he wants to keep this car. The important thing is it has oil pressure and I didn't hear any knocks. I then gutted the interior to see what we were working with. There is some surface rust but that...

Re: 2021 Ram Rebel 4x4
MBRP muffler installed. It’s about 3-4db louder at idle. I can now hear it running. It’s not too loud that the auto start /stop is weird either. It’s just right.
30 ish minutes in the driveway. Sawzall, hand tools and some music.
