1984 'Vette: A Few Problems

Nosada 25 April 2005 10:17:47
 I have a 1984 Corvette and would like to know a few things.

First of all, I have a few minor cosmetic concerns, such as a loose
headliner, foggy windshield and a few control knobs are either loose or
have fallen off and will not stay on (headlights, air conditioning). I
have blackouts and one of the front ones (turn signal) is coming off. I
tried using crazy glue but it wouldn't hold.

As far as mechanical concerns go, I have a pretty bad oil leak that has
been getting worse. I don't want to pay for this repair, as I am on a
very tight budget but I realize it must be taken care of immediately.
The car began to overheat on the freeway yesterday so I'mafraid the
water pump may be giving out.

I believe that's about it. Any suggestions or advice would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
John

 I bought the car with blackouts. I don't know how to remove them but I
could care less about them being a hazard. And they're legal in
California.

Well, your choices are: (a) find the leak and fix it yourself or, once you
know the source of the leak, shop all around for the best quote, (b) buy a
couple cases of oil and keep adding as necessary, or (c) burn up the engine.

Is the coolant level right? Is there crap blocking the airflow? Water
pumps aren't real cheap either, but again cheaper than a fried motor.

Water pumps rarely are at fault when a car overheats. Water pump
failures usually are due to bad bearings, so they may leak water from a
weep hole provided for that purpose when that happens, but usually
you'll notice the failure from the squeaky noises the failing bearings
make. Look for the simple things first, like whether you are having to
add water, and if so, look for the water leak... it can be as simple as
a loose hose clamp or as serious as a leaking radiator core or a head
gasket leak. If it isn't losing water, then you have to look at other
stuff, like fans that aren't working, a bad thermostat, a failed
radiator cap, or a clogged radiator core. You may need a radiator shop
to help you find the tough stuff.
