1st assignment on the '73

[KOPBET]

Many thanks to those who aided me in my quest for the '73! Warning...I plan on asking a ton of questions.:L

Now for my first assignment.

The key-in-ignition buzzer stays on with the door open and no key in the ignition. No big deal really except for the annoyance factor. What do I need to fix this, aside from removing the buzzer?

my 76 had all that annoying stuff removed by a previous owner, you got yourself a good deal. Try a little contact cleaner first.

1st assignment...... otfl


it does sound like a contact problem......you'll get a new education in 73's now plus you'll get all those little issues resolved.

 

[KOPBET]

Contact cleaner eh? I'll try that. I would have thought that there was contact somewhere when there shouldn't be.

Steering column parts

After removing the steering wheel on the '73 I discovered this broken plastic bushing like gizmo in the column.

Can someone tell me what this broken plastic part is called and where I can get one?

 

[waterboy1976]

Check out Ecklers or Mid America or ZIP they should have break downs of the column....

I have also learned of this site, that depicts the broken item "E" very clearly.

Disconnect the buzzer and don't listen to the bum with the red Corvette from Cleveland
