Why is the AC on a Corvettes generally bad and what should you look for on a used 1978-82 Corvette?

As ageneral rule of thumb the seals leak on the compressor every 2 - 3 years. Seem to have better sucess with aftermarket compressors. Very hard to get away from. Also the condensor will generally rot out from rust afte about 8 years. It is the nature of the beast on these models. You can look at the padding under the hood and see if the compressor has been leaking. It will leave a path on the insulation and eat through the insulation.

about 220 HP, it should be higher but the clean air act of 1970 limited to power of the 1970s C3 corvettes. Personally get a better engine, L82s' are fairly weak when compared other V-8 engines however don't expect a mustang to win in a race against one.
Where is the flasher relay located on a 1986 Corvette?
REMOVE THE UPPER PANEL UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, SHOULD BE TO THE LEFT OF STEERING WHEEL. BOTH FLASHERS SHOULD BE THERE HELD DOWN WITH CLIPS , TURN & HAZARD or On my 1986 Corvette the flasher was installed under the passenger side panel just above where the passengers left knee would contact the dash. I know the diagrams don't indicate this but at least some 1986 Corvettes have the turn flashers there ( but not the emergency flasher relay which remained behind the information center , mid-dash)
