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...

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...

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...

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...

Been thinking about getting one for my '73.... [edit] aaahhh... no one's interested. probably a bad idea anyway...

I got the polyurethane doughnut shaped mount onto the passenger side of the rebuilt rack w/no prob's. Just wondered if anyone has replaced the other one... the one thats pressed in with the metal sleeve in the center. That bugger looks to be in there pretty tight. I'm thinking of just...

Rebuilt steering rack off by one tooth... I guess I just got a A/C Delco rebuilt steering rack for my '96 from AutoPartsGiant.com (for $136.45 and no core charge !!!) but when its centered up the input shaft appears about 45 degrees off from the original. I'm guessing its been reassembled one...

I'm looking at the Hooker 2151 uncoated headers for my '96 LT4. I believe these don't have hookups for the AIR tubes. I am supposing I should just remove the tubes and run without the AIR system. My question is what are the ramifications of doing this ? I don't have a smog check in my...

...for a C4 ? thanks ! . . .

Anybody got one in good shape? thanks

I have one black wire in the back that attaches to a stud and it's hot with the a/c control on. In the front, right behind and to the right of the clutch there are two electrical tab connections. The left one is wired to ground. The other one has no wire going to it. My clutch does not...

I am getting my windshield replaced, finishing up the reassembly after repainting. I just wondered if I should toss it or sell it. thanks . . .

The ac clutch on my '96 doesn't engage by itself all the time. When I turn on the a/c and it doesn't engage I can always pop it with my knuckle while its running and it will catch every time. The car has 201,000 miles on it, I assumed that my clutch was just so worn that the gap was getting too...

I cannot get the trim piece to even come close to going over the top of these camaro seat belts. Wondered if maybe I bought the wrong ones. As you can see in the pic the trim is about an inch from going back far enough to get the screws into it. How is this supposed to work? Do I cut the...

Howdy ya'll, I'm starting to prime the jambs on my '73 vette (paint project) and I was wondering if someone could show me a pic of under the hood that has the color/black in the original position. I need to tape off the underside to spray the hood jamb/edges underneath and I don't know where to...

I am needing to get more paint for my dark blue metallic '73 vette. I bought a pint that was mixed from a local discount paint store and I just gave them the original paint code (927) to go by. I painted my hinges and they look noticably too light of a shade of blue compared to my chip in the...

Just curious. Pro Spray is apparently a European company. I am about to spray my door hinges with it and will probably spray the rest of the car later if all goes well. I bought it from a supposed discount paint supplier. They are calling it a mid-line product, not too expensive - not too...
