If headlights on a 1981 Corvette will not go down is it a vacuum problem?

yes because it haveint been used in a long time

Yes.

Yes, most likely. There's a chance that it is something mechanical, but that's a slim chance and only if they have not been used in a LONG time.

If you're not familiar with these problems, I suggest chasing the vacuum lines to listen for a hissing sound either underhood or under dashboard. Remember that the headlight switch actually is an electrical switch AND vacuum valve in-one. Additionally, there is a little black knob (backup vacuum valve) directly under the dashboard in the event that the headlight switch valve doesn't raise the lights. If neither one raises them then you have either a leak or stuck diaphragm. Good luck! -ku2002

You can buy a vacuum troubleshooting guide from Zip Corvette to help you fix the issue.

I fixed it. There are rubber devices called witches hats that go on the vacuum canisters next to the headlights. You can either change the witches hats (quite a job) or just have the vacuum canisters you can get at Ecklers.

Or you can get them at Zip and save some money, here is a link to the headlight components http://www.zip-corvette.com/Zip/dept.asp?dept_id=887

where is the diaphragm located on my 1981 Corvette?

How do you change power steering fluid for a 1973 corvette?

you can either remove the hose on the back of the pump and let the fluid leak out or you can suck the old fluid out with a turkey baster through the cap.

Where is the hood release on 1975 Corvette?

Hood release is left of steering wheel right below the round ball air/AC outlet. Kinda sits up under the dash and has a black plastic handle that you pull out and you'll see the hood pop up.

Is a 1982 Corvette a good car?

Depends on what you are buying it for. Some consider it to be the best looking vette to date. Some don't appreciate the rear half of the car.

The Good:

  1. Last year of the C-3's good investment.
  2. Parts are fairly cheap, and easy to find.
  3. 700R4 Trans gives good torgue plus great hwy milage for a Vette.
  4. Only C-3 with fuel injection
  5. Currently the low cost intry to being a Vette Owner.
  6. The Crossfire is getting harder to find.
  7. 205hp in a 3500LB care makes it pretty quick.
  8. Turns heads where ever you go.

The Bad:

  1. Hard to find a mechanic who understands Crossfire TBI system.
  2. They tend to have Vacum problems causing the car to Idle rough.
  3. Have to deal with a "Vette Snob" now and again, but they are rapidly dying off as the 82 becomes more appreciated as time goes on. Remember, no one liked the 63 split window when it first came out. Now its one of the most sought after.

Hope this helps!

What is Box-Jenkins Model?

Box-Jenkins Approach The Box-Jenkins ARMA model is a combination of the AR and MA models where the terms in the equation have the same meaning as given for the AR and MA model. Comments on Box-Jenkins Model A couple of notes on this model. # The Box-Jenkins model assumes that the time series is stationary. Box and Jenkins recommend differencing non-stationary series one or more times to achieve stationarity. Doing so produces an ARIMA model, with the "I" standing for "Integrated". # Some formulations transform the series by subtracting the mean of the series from each data point. This yields a series with a mean of zero. Whether you need to do this or not is dependent on the software you use to estimate the model. # Box-Jenkins models can be extended to include seasonal autoregressive and seasonal moving average terms. Although this complicates the notation and mathematics of the model, the underlying concepts for seasonal autoregressive and seasonal moving average terms are similar to the non-seasonal autoregressive and moving average terms. # The most general Box-Jenkins model includes difference operators, autoregressive terms, moving average terms, seasonal difference operators, seasonal autoregressive terms, and seasonal moving average terms. As with modeling in general, however, only necessary terms should be included in the model. Those interested in the mathematical details can consult Box, Jenkins and Reisel (1994), Chatfield (1996), or Brockwell and Davis (2002). Stages in Box-Jenkins Modeling There are three primary stages in building a Box-Jenkins time series model. # Model Identification # Model Estimation # Model Validation RemarksThe following remarks regarding Box-Jenkins models should be noted. # Box-Jenkins models are quite flexible due to the inclusion of both autoregressive and moving average terms. # Based on the Wold decomposition thereom (not discussed in the Handbook), a stationary process can be approximated by an ARMA model. In practice, finding that approximation may not be easy. # Chatfield (1996) recommends decomposition methods for series in which the trend and seasonal components are dominant. # Building good ARIMA models generally requires more experience than commonly used statistical methods such as regression. Sufficiently Long Series RequiredTypically, effective fitting of Box-Jenkins models requires at least a moderately long series. Chatfield (1996) recommends at least 50 observations. Many others would recommend at least 100 observations. source: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmc/section4/pmc445.htm

How do you remove headlight switch on 2001 Sable?

On the bottom edge of the switch's plastic trim there is a small slot in the center. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver and gently pry upward and outward. When the switch begins to come out, pry around the edge until it comes free. The switch is held in place with three small spring clips.

How do you remove gas tank from 1967 corvette you loosened up everything but the frame rails seem to be in the way to drop the tank?

After you've loosened up all the 4x nuts/bolts from the straps, and disconnected the sending unit wires, and the fuel line (with an empty tank), then put a rag in the filler neck. Back the vehicle from the garage and raise it on jack stands so you can easily get under the rear of the vehicle.

What is the best oil for 2007 Corvette?

Mobil 1 pure synthetic. Answer 2: Any 5w30 synthetic oil that meets the GM oil requirement. Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platnum (iirc) are ones that do, and I believe there are a few more.

Check behind the second row seating. There's a storage area, but you have to pull up on it from the sides. I have to lower the seats to get access to it in mine.
