    Question: TA rebuild. . .what are the odds?

    The Rep was right on the bearings, they are not as 'beatable/durrable' as one would think. I replaced an output shaft/ drive pulley bearing on a Buell motorcycle, and special tools were needed. You could only push it into the housing by pushing the outside diameter of the bearing, if you touches...

    On the 82 the door has a pin with a torx recess and is located on the pillar opening adjacent the side of the seat on the door sill It is adjustable to facilitate door gap on the rear of the door, to align the body and door seam.

    I'm sure I'm not the first as I'v looked all over the web trying to locate an EGR solenoid for my 82 C3. I can find nothing.... yikes...:ugh.

    While I'm at it syndrome

    I'v got plans for RHS heads as well, but on a SBChrysler motor. After scouring all the forums about heads and build-ups with RHS heads, I was a bit alarmed by some discussion with the early RHS heads and peculiarities that rose-up with casting and ports and valve spring seats. I hope you got...

    To Sell or To Keep.

    What you have is a savings account that can't be easily accessed. One thing I would do though is either NOT drive it OR REPLACE those ORIGINAL tires........... they are a bomb just waiting to destroy your bodywork in the event they let loose................. I think you'v probably thought of...

    Center Caps

    My rear passenger side is that way. It appears the PO used some contact cement or Gorilla glue..... sparingly, and got it to stay. I havn't had any problem with it becoming loose and there's no extra gooped out around the circumfrence, just the inside pinch area.

    driver side sun visor wont stay up

    Mine does the same thing, in a couple minutes time it flops down right in the line of sight, Dangerous and Annoying. It seems the hex rod that the flap is on stays in position, rather it doesn't rotate, just the sun visor doesn't have enough pinch and it will rotate and flop down. It seems the...

    Question: Can you identify this component .........

    Can someone tell me what this piece is. It is plastic in the center of the photo with two rubber hoses. One to the rear as can be seen and the other going to the base plate of the crossfire venturi on the passenger side of the manifold. Currently if I hook it back up to the manifold, it kills...

    Question: Door lock hole problem...... A Repair available??

    Mine is an 82 C3, and I'm sure some of you have seen or had or heard of hogged out tumbler lock holes in the door. By hogged out, I mean the positioning lug on the tumbler having carved slightly into the door skin. Thus when you manually open the door unlocking it with a key, you will...
