Howdy folks, My ac comp on my '04 with 129K miles started making noise recently so I decided to get it replaced before I trashed the whole system. Didn't have time or space to do it myself so I hired a shop to replace it. He used the Murray brand compressor and orifice/dryer etc.... It now...

Might be worth it to buy a copy of a Haynes repair manual for an '86 camaro. Probably get one cheap on ebay. good luck.

If someone doesn't beat me to it I'll try to remember to take a pic of my harness tomorrow evening and send (or post) it. Mine is Accel but the wire colors are most likely the same.

You can use the original supply as your return line, I ran a 1/2" SS braided line for the supply with aeroquip fittings. I'm running a Holley external tank fuel pump mounted to the frame just in front of the tank above the spare tire... Worked like a trained pig. I currently have an accel DFI...

Its disconnected.

Just wanted to pass along that I pretty much fixed my emergency brake by tightening the pads against the drum at the wheel and then driving it about 20 miles. The drum apparently scrubbed off the areas of the shoes so that they make continuous contact with the inner drum surface (thats my theory...

I'm selling the original steering rack out of my '96 vette. I replaced it with a rebuilt unit when I rebuilt the suspension and kept the original thinking I would get it rebuilt someday and put back in the car. Sold the car. This rack has 218K miles on it and it was working fine when I took...

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of putting it at $8950 based on what I've seen on Craigslist and some of the vette forum for-sale boards...

I've decided to sell my '96 CE. It's in good shape but far from perfect. It has 219K miles on it. It still starts up quick and will smoke the tires. I recently rebuilt the suspension w/polyurethane and resealed the intake, also removed the injectors and had them cleaned and flow tested at FIS...

Ok, thanks. I will do a search and see if I can figure out how to adjust it.

Thanks for all the responses folks! I have been fighting this prob since I bought the car and I've had it aligned at several different shops over the years so I'm a little hesitant to think that's the prob although I do agree that an old timer could probably make some improvements to it. TimAT...

I have stock power steering and really hate the controlability, or lack of it. I've rebuilt everything so I'm done with trying to find a cause. I'm convinced the cause is a design that's 36 years old. I just wondered if you folks with manual steering experience much squirrliness when you...

I put an A/C Delco rebuilt rack on my '96 from an online retailer. Had it aligned, 3 days later I find a big puddle of steering fluid on the floor under the left tire. I jacked it up and noted that the alignment tech had twisted up left inner tie rod boot a couple of rounds when he adjusted...

I just installed the cross shaft bushings for the upper control arm from Energy Suspension on my '96. These are bushings 3131 & 3133. I noted that without grease the aluminum sleeve that is slid onto the shaft prior to installing the bushing has quite a lot of slop on the shaft. Once greased...

Paint is definitely getting expensive. I painted my '73 about 6 months ago (after two and a half years prepping) and spent $1000.00 just on clear, color, thinner and catalyst. Unbelievable...
