Sadly, yes. I dont believe in half measures which usually leads to going overboard. $$$$

I wish it was that cheap to fix. By the time this car is done with me, it will be new again. 🤑

Rebuilt the suspension system last year, then the coolant system starts leaking. Rebuilt cooling system last week, then the steering gear box starts leaking. Guess what I bought today?

5 quarts of Valvoline synthetic high mileage and a filter.

Valley pan gasket, water pump, radiator hoses heater hoses EGR valve, thermostat, thermostat housing, PCV valve, crankcase ventilation filter, fuel filter, and gaskets and hose clamps to finish it off. Started with a simple intake manifold gasket replacement and expanded to a complete coolant...

Original radiator does have a petcock drain at the passenger side bottom. I had mine recored, so I can not offer you an exact fit replacement. If you want to hold your car's value, I would suggest rebuilding the original.

I have an oil gauge that maxes out after engine warms up. Dont know why it does that but I verified oil pressure with a manual gauge to be sure. Oil pressure is fine so the gauge or board must be faulty. Let me know if you find a fix.

Well then, I am more confused than ever. But, whats the worst case senario here? I may have to get a new ecm? Or, possibly trash the whole ccc system and go with oldschool vacuum assist distributor, etc? The bottom line is how much will it cost to fix versus how much I pay for the car?

As I said before, it seems too operate as if there is nothing wrong. I do not want to dig it out and look at it since it is not my car, but I doubt it was installed backward given how well the car performs. Im guessing an aftermarket chip was put in at some point. If what you said is true, the...

I test drove it for 10 miles and mor on city, county, and interstate roads and ran without a hiccup. The code 51 worried me because I have never ran into that code before. Thanks for the advice. I will keep it in mind.

Seller cant tell me much on original parts or not. He says he didnt replace it since he has had it. Hes offering $500 off due to the code. Sounds like if I change the eprom out, then the major culprit for this code is removed. Is there a chance of complete shutdown if the car is driven before...

So, I am looking at a car for sale. I ran the obd scan and it came up with code 51. But, it ran fine down the road. I cleared the code, but it came up again. Code 51 is an eprom issue, but how could it run fine with an eprom issue? Not sure if this is a major issue or not. Has anyone ran into...

I show GM part number 357746. But, when I look it up it says it's for a 77-82 Corvette. They may interchange, but I'm unsure. Here's a site that has it https://shiftworks.com/products/29-shift-cable-for-corvette

If you are looking to stay original down to the bolts and nuts, the original clamps were the spring type clamps. But, they often had leakage issues over time, and were replaced by a worm gear style clamp. As to the original manufacturer, you would have to find an original, unreplaced clamp and...

O-rings come with the lines of you order as delco parts. They are available at almost any reputable parts store. Just give them your cars information and specify that you need the O-rings for the high pressure steering lines. Or, just replace the lines too. They run $8-$14 a piece for the...

Goop it. High temp permatex is the best way to go on two piece oil pan gaskets.

Your best option is to look under the steering wheel for the diagnostic port. If it has a diagnostic port, it at least had an ECM at one time. If it did have one, it obviously doesn't now. The "check engine" light would remain on at all times if it was removed and the vehicle was not...

That's the only location that I have found them. Unless it was removed prior to your ownership, but that would cause other problems as well.

Passenger side. Did you check that side? Chip will be inside a metal box behind the kick plate, at least for 8 cylinder cars.

Thanks for the tips. I'll look for all of those items. If possible, I'll get it on the road and see how she performs.
