    Can't get Accumulator Ball Off

    This is not the first time I'm replacing the accumulator ball. I've done it before without any issues twice. Just bought a new ball, ignition is off, I pump the brake about 25 times, (The pedal never really gets hard like it's supposed to. Probably pump it 100 times) I try to take the old...

    Freon Type

    Thanks guys. I have the thread on the coupler so I am still on theR12. I noticed 2 couplers though. One by the radiator rail and one on the passenger side near the glove box. I'm assuming to use the one by the passenger side Firewall. Actually while checking now. I noticed that the compressor...

    Freon Type

    This might be a moronic question, but i've been searching our forums and haven't seen an answer. 87 stock GN, I've had her about 5 years. AC blows hot, compressor isn't turning on. It used to work, so it's probably low on Freon causing compressor to turn off. Well it's hot and my wife wont ride...

    Ok. I am here to give a little (actually a lot) of praise to Mike aka Spool Fool and his bumper fillers. I have a totally stock 87 GN, with the factory paint (still beautiful) and of course all the filler started cracking and actually falling off. After some research I decided SpoolFool's full...

    1st gear only

    True if the band went, it would be different than just hanging in first gear the whole time. I had the car to around 5000 rpm- 35 mph hoping it would go into 3rd but nothing. I tried the TV cable, and spring , no such luck. feels good. While i was out driving around a bit once the car goes to...

    1st gear only

    Thanks guys. Definitely a lesson learned. I mean he owns a big shop and is a smart guy. So I figured y not let him drop it I'm since the weather is getting hot, and I'll buy the guys some six packs. I asked his young son if he was out driving it after then rad was in and he swore no. That the...

    High idle at stop

    I have an 1987 GN, 54k miles. Totally stock. Recently after driving a bit and coming to a stop (stop sign) i would feel the engine rev high then drop down. So i put it in neutral, and the RPMS go up to about 1800 then drop down to normal 750-800 range. This happens everytime i stop driving and...

    GN - Upper door panels

    Hey, anyone have a new set of upper door panels for an 87 GN they dont need? Mine are clean, but the lines (not sure what you call that drape effect) are not that solid and it kind of looks flat. Thanks! Jack

    Oil Sender

    I am about to put the oil sender in with the Tee, it looks like it will hit the lower radiator hose, does it get close? Another different question, my gauges have lights, should i just tap into the the fuse box in the spot that says Inst Lps to get the power? that is my plan. Thanks again for...

    Oil Sender

    Great info! Thanks Onyx this is exactly the info that I was hoping to get! Pictures really helped too, I'm heading to the plumbing supply tomorrow. Seems like you used teflon tape. I read somewhere not to use teflon tape on sensors because it acts as a ground, but i always doubted that. I'll...
