    Head lights coming up at different time

    Well after some looking the whole thing over, in particular around the regulators, I found that the line to the acuator was pinched at a 90 and once i forced it be somehat straight, and my wife activated the lights, bang right on time. I turned the hose 180 and works like a charm, but the hose...

    Patriot side pipes

    Anyone out ther running them, any comments. The price appeals to me but not sure how they will fit. They also seem to offer differnt lengths, I am thinking the 60" are the size for my 77. Any pictures or better yet sound clips with them on? Thanks

    Head lights coming up at different time

    Okay I have replaced the headlight switch and re-built the right actuator. They both come up now, but the left one arives at its final destination about a second before the right is this normal, or is there something else to be done.

    difference between a pre and post 77 radio

    I am wondering if anyone can tell me what changed in 77 that seems to indicate that a radio from a 76 and older would not work. Is this just with the factory items, or is this also true in the aftermarket? I can get one for a 76 that is a decent price, but not sure it would work. Thoughts?

    Cruise Control Issue

    Well, I pulled it apat and did a little adjustment as you suggested and I know have a cruise that is working for the most part. I still have a very tiny surge, but it is just in the rpm not in the speedo, so perhaps I have a wee vaccum leak. Funny thing is the speed neddle bounce more now at...

    Cruise Control Issue

    I took our 77 on its first significant trip so far, about 250 miles last weekend. Ran like a top and handled well, but and there is always a but, the cruise did not work, it would engage but then is surged and would not hold the proper speed. I am thinking it is likely a vacuum leak, cause it...

    Tire/Rim Size

    I looked into that but with shipping of over $200.00us, plus exchange, duties, taxes, etc. it was not feasible to go that route.

    Tire/Rim Size

    Well I have run into a snag! I have tried to snag a set of 245/60- 15's but BFG has temporarily halted production and there are none to be had in Canada, and apparently the only company that makes that size is BFG. I have had a number of dealers looking, thought I had a set today, but no. I am...

    Tire/Rim Size

    I guess I could do the same as I have a TomTom as well. Do you have any pics of the 245's? Regards

    Tire/Rim Size

    The biggest problem with the set up now is I don't like the look of the two different size tires, heighth wise, but I do like the width. I will look at going with 235 or 245 all around. How did you find this size affecting the speedo?

    Parking Brake Front Cable

    I have run into a problem and am looking from some advise. I am replacing the front cable as part of a re-build. Is there anyway to get the cable through the pulley without removing it? The problem is I can't get the pulley bolt out, as it appears it is seized in the spacer. I have soaked it...

    Tire/Rim Size

    I am looking to replace the tires on my 77. It has aftermarket rims that appear to be about 7 3/4", it presently has 255/60/15 on the back and 235/60/15 on the front, I think this looks a little goofy, but that is what I got. I am wondering if it would be better to go to a 225/70/15 which...

    Replacing rear dust shield

    I think I have to repalce the right side dust shield as it appears the parking brake must have froze on the previous owner and the hole the arm goes through is tore up. I have looked everywhere for information and so far nothing. I know that someone out there will point me in the right...

    Headlight Dimmer Switch

    I have another little problem on my 77, that I need to repair, the lever to change from low to high beam has to pulled hard back, in fact it snapped off, it appears the dimmer switch is at the very end of its travel. The mechanic says it needs to be adjusted, I can't for the life of me figure...

    Brake Problems

    Thanks for all the input. I am going to order the stainless parts and put it back together. I am a little baffled at how it goes together, in particular the actuating mechanism, that goes through the dust shield. Does teh shield play an active role in the brake? The reason I ask is that the hole...

    Brake Problems

    I got looking at it last night and realized the rivet was larger than I thought so a large bit and a couple of taps woith a punch the the rivets popped out. Th passenger rotor came off easily the driver side needed a little penetrating fluid and a couple of taps to get off. I will check the run...

    Brake Problems

    They need to be replaced as the have deemed them to thin to pass the safety inspection. So if I want to license the car I have to replace them.

    Brake Problems

    I just got my 77 out of storage and have to do the work for the safety. I have just starrted working on it and already problems. I can't remove the front rotors that I need to replace! I drilled out the large flat head of the rivet and have tried everything I can think of to get the rotor off of...
