Last post by Eyez Open - April 08, 2024, 12:07 PMNot going to happen,I am a firm believer in supporting the local transmission guy. While I have not yet met the man it is my firm understanding he is priceless.
I've flushed mine and now will R&R that parking brake system. There are some issues best left to professional's...Tranny's are one.

How to operate. Some interesting tidbits.

Oil pan dip stick trivia, a 475 and 400 are the same...475 has helical gears.....read HD. And the rear parking hub assy.

Information on the modulator, if your having sloppy shifting issue's.

Last post by Eyez Open - April 07, 2024, 03:26 PMThat makes two of us. I really get a attitude at times chasing electrical issues. And then there is the junkyard bandits...not all of them of course.
I have a solution but I am attempting to get it back to original condition..a fully functional dash brings about 2 hundred and a digital dash is weighing heavily on my mind. A 200 dollar gift might just nudge me over the edge...time will tell.
The below will work,two 180 5 watt resistors in parallel that gets 90 ohms and 5 watts of power handling capacity.

Any way you could use some sort of resister like this..I am very weak when it comes to electronics

Last post by Eyez Open - April 06, 2024, 03:02 PMSpring is here and almost time for the first road experience. Some house keeping is required first. Gauges this time, the cluster seemed dead. The below video really helped me re enable the package. These gauges are very simplistic..not to much can go wrong with them aside from light corrosion and a 90 watt ceramic resistor. This resistor is no longer made so junk yard diving seems to be in order here.

Last post by RockwoodMike - April 04, 2024, 01:19 AMThe bore just guides the piston..it does not seal the piston..The rubber square cut ring does..
Bought the seal kit from RockAuto..

Last post by RockwoodMike - April 04, 2024, 01:16 AMI bought some rebuilt calipers for this..They are China rebuilds..That is all there is available..
Soooo...
I am going to see if my original calipers are rebuildable..
They were wet inside and getting the pistons to pop out with compressed air worked well..
Will give them a good sand blast..The pistons are steel and look great..
It is the bores that need a good look at..will see about it tomorrow

You can't get these discs in my size..Gotta make these work..They are full thickness. Never been cut before..
