    #2 and 3 Mount Questions

    I never ran up on a spec that gave a minimum, so when I did mine I started out setting the body6 right on the mounts. This was after replacing the #2 mounts and rocker channels. I then shimmed the #1 and #4 positions to get the door gaps as close as I could. The body sat flat on the #2 and #3...

    Overwhelmed by Dead Gauges....

    :thumb I agree, get a shop manual specific to your year. What year is it? I may have the schematic or can get it for you. There is a fuse for all the gauges on the fuse panel, first place I would check.

    Help! Interior rehab

    PB Blaster is some very good stuff, it sticks to what you squirt it on ans soaks in pretty good. Other than that a pair of vice grips or an angle grinder with a 4" cutoff wheel might be the answer. Joe is right, once you get started....:boogie

    Stubborn shock mount

    If the thing will not come out what your going to have to do is use a cutoff wheel and cut the end off the strut rod to get it off the mount and bushing. Then peel off the rubber and use a chisel and vice grips to peel the bushing sleeve off the mount shaft. Then some more PB Blaster and heat...

    Lock Up Torque Converter

    Thats a good shift kit. How many miles on that tranny? The next real upgrade shoud be a 2004R, it has a better gearset plus overdrive in 4th. But that TH350C is a very good unit as long as the clutches are not toast. Just put the shift kit in and see what you get, I think you will find the...

    Lock Up Torque Converter

    Which Transmission? I don't think I would worry much about the pressure switch set point. The control circuit for the lockup is controlled thru a couple of points, the pressure switch is just there for part of it

    automatic shifter

    So whats wrong with your existing shifter? There is a cockscomb spring that rides in a detent in the tranny itself that actually locates the shift points inside. 1-2-3 in the shifter Handle just slides thru.

    Electric posts and receptacles - cleaning tool?

    There are a couple of products out there, CRC Contact Cleaner is a pretty good one available at most electrical houses, not home depot. Then protect them with a product called Correx, you can find it at Marine stores. A small wire brush will help.

    Emmisions Removal

    Here is a vac diagram detailing what hoses to delete for emissions stuff. Removing the EGR will require fabing a plate to cover the hole in the manifold. You will need plugs for the exhaust manifold pipe from the air pump unless you replace the manifolds. You will need 2 new bolts for the...

I would then follow with a Dynomat type product, or Nuprene and then the carpet kit. The Lizard skin and nuprene would cover the entire...
