    The pedal broke at the plastic pivot point, the plastic where the metal pivot point attaches broke off, I can get up to the top of the pedal, but do not know how to take the cable off the top of the pedal. It is obviously a rather tight fit, so I am having some difficulty reaching up and...

    PCV help on 85 - part discontinued

    In my spring tune up I found my plugs were fairly fouled and the PCV had almost no wear in it. Concerned I took it to my trusted mechanic and he found there is neither positive or negative vacuum running through the PCV. We thought it might be the reason for the leaking valve cover gasket, but...

    Help removing battery on 85

    I have an 85 that over the winter stopped taking a charge, I was removing the positive cable and the entire post came with it as soon as I turned the bolt. I have been told this is not unusual with the Delco batteries, although at less than 3 years old, I am not very pleased. I am removing the...

    Help needed with Security Module on 85

    Hi everyone, I have an 85 I adore, and last year decided to tackle the lack of a horn problem. Determined the fuse was gone from the horn, but when I put the fuse in (when I eventually found it!) the security would engage but not disengage. No matter what I did, whenever I hit the power locks...

I have not tried to put it all...

    85 Odometer Problem

    I have had the cluster in for repair, they can get the odometer to work fine on their bench, doesn't work in the car (it will very occassionally work for a couple of miles, then stop for a couple weeks), but the tripometer works fine, everything else good. I was told it is a sending unit on the...
