Now the admiral is talking about how we can keep both of them. Gotta love 'er. :-)

Took a long ride today. Didn't hear the noise once :D

I bought a syphon gun at Auto-Zone ($10) and replaced the fluids in the diff. Two bottles posi additive and 2 bottles diff lube. You guys called it. It took me about 2 hours to do the job. I removed the Right Rear tire and all the spare tire garbage. Probably a good thing because I found out...

You guys called it. It took me about 2 hours to do the job. I removed the Right Rear tire and all the spare tire garbage. Probably a good thing because I found out that the spare tire was flat. It took longer for me to find a wrench to fit the fill plug than anything else. I, too , noticed that...

and I am trying to replace the fluid. I bought 2 units of posi fluid and 2 units of diff fluid. I jacked up the left rear and crawled under to have a look. All I saw was spring and skid plate. Above that, after some wiggling around, I saw the inspection /fill hole for the diff. I did not see a...

I met with a guy tonight who appears to know his way around a Vette. He suggested that I drain the rear end and put in some new posi fluid and half synthetic rear end oil. His feeling was that the noise could be the differential clutches. His experience is that replacing the fluid can quiet down...

A 'bogus' rotor is one that is just not right...I always thought that I could just take the rotor in and have it checked. Evidently not. So, per this project, a small $$ bill will now become larger as I have to pay them to take off the tires, etc. After work, I replaced the flexible hose on the...

Well, I changed the hose in the Left Rear. That seems to be where the noise is coming from. I drove the same route I went yesterday. Instead of the loud, dare I say 'scarey', noise, I just got a fairly light version. That is until i was actually pulling into the garage and had the brakes on...

Just keeps getting more interesting.... The in-line fuse is missing for the antenna. I removed it. I did find that the fuse for the courtesy light was blown. I replaced it. Guess what? The radio and the antenna work just fine now, even though the 3A in-line fuse is still out... :W

Well, the fact that it happened after I had the console moved out of my way, makes me think I must have disturbed something. I may take the radio out and see if I caused a problem in the rear of the radio, that I can't see with it installed.

I have an Alpine radio in my 78. It has a power antenna. I tore the console apart to fix the reverse lockout. I got that fixed and got everything back together again. Now I have a radio problem. It is eating 3A fuses like M&Ms. There is a red wire that comes from the power source to a 3A...

I will swing by AutoZone on the way home. I just think it looks more "old school" without that tube running into the air cleaner

I need the shaft (or key) for the reverse lockout on a 78 / 350/ automatic.

Is this an automatic? I need the shaft inside the shifter (which has the reverse lock out tab). I have a 78.

After a bit more thinking about it, I decided that the connections (the speedo-like and the one with the pins) were for the cb radio (which is not there). It makes sense. I need to find a breather cap to replace that tube on the passenger valve cover. Any thoughts?
