1979 California world music festival at the coliseum, I was 15. Ted Nuget, toto, outlaws, cheech and chong, journey... thats all I can remember. Good times.

Driving thru Compton just last week, I saw a Volare. I know it's a seventies car, but just odd to see. Then further down the road, a Cordoba, as in Ricardo Montalban and "corinthian leather". I know the Yugos have already been mentioned. At a junk yard one day, this dude walks in wanting...

Any wear on the zerk above the inner tie rod?

HR trans mount I just yesterday replaced my old cracking mushy rubber mount with the HR polyurethane unit. I had a previous problem with the old one where the 2 bolts that hold the mount to the trans came loose, backed out, then ripped out taking about a half inch of aluminum threads with...

1.5 + years The unit from tr custom parts is holding up great. It works as good as the day I put it in. The anodized aluminum has not become scratched or worn, as I had feared. My only complaint would be that the little set screws that hold it onto the chrome shaft are a wee bit long and...

ac delete pulley pic installed http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech/110599-c-eliminator.html In case anyone else needs to see how the Y bracket installs along with the ac delete pulley bracket and altenator.

There's the answer, thanks tons Steve.

I picked up one of the delete pulleys, but have yet to figure out how the Y bracket installs when there's nothing to bolt the one leg of the Y to. Does anyone have pics, preferrably with the air filter to turbo pipe out so it can be seen?

Would you happen to still have pics of the ac delete pulley installed? If so, please repost so I could take a look.

dorman 34224 ac delete pulley After looking at what everyone sells, it seems they're all the same one sold by dorman. I got one from my local pep boys, and started the swap. A problem I ran into is that when removing the ac compressor, a Y shaped bracket comes off with it, and there is no...

My ac stopped working a couple years back, and I didn't fix it. Then when turning on the defrost, the engine would bog, and make a horrible noise, and I didn't fix it. Next, the compressor completely went to crap and started making a horrible grinding noise. Can't put it off any longer now...

Yesterday and today were both scorchers. Arriving home last night, I noticed the electric radiator fan blowing as I pulled in and parked. Normally, everytime I shut her off, the fan turns on after a bit, and blows for a couple of minutes. This time it was already on, and now seems to have...

full blown scam I know for a fact, that these quickie oil change places need to be avoided. My three horror stories are as follows. I brought my turbo supra in for an oil change. They bring me this plastic coated paper with samples of every fluid in my car to compare to what new fluid...

I decided to go with the aluminum one from tr custom parts. Ordered late friday, received monday, good transaction. The part looks as pictured on their site, well made, but the instructions are a bit hazy. Adjust the white plastic piece until it sticks out 1/16 when fully depressed. So I...

Yeah, I was thinking this will be best. The plastic one only lasted a couple of years. Here in socal, stupid drivers cause me to slap my forehead in disbelief, then slam my hand down onto the shifter handle in anger, which is probably why it's broken.
