You're right. Could a swore I checked that one. Thanks man

So I was putting new bulbs into my aftermarket gauges. The ones that go in the little coin tray. During this process my retarded ape hands accidentally shorted the bulb socket wires into something. There was a pop and now the HVAC lights, shift indicator and all lights controlled by the...

Yep they are friggin bent. Attn any admin, this thread can be deleted

Did I buy the wrong ones or are these bent? Truck didn't appear wrecked. I'm a bit confused

As far as I'm aware the only function of the accumulator is to provide you with enough reserve pressure to get you a few extra stops soyld you suffer engine or power steering failure. If you got strong legs it shouldn't be a problem.

I consider it a down-market luxury GT 2+2. Like an american version of a big jaguar coupe or similar.

This video shows how to change out the main piston seal. Be sure to put the new one in facing the same direction. Coating the new seal in grease makes the install much easier.

When I first tried this job I was not sure if it was gonna work at all so, sadly, i did not document the construction. Despite this I believe I can demonstrate the procedure with the leftover parts. The only significant internal difference between the 79 cutlass and 95 3500 boosters is the...

Got it all bolted in yesterday and no surprise the piston seal on the junkyard half was weeping. Got a seal kit from pirate jack on the way, should be able to do a road test by Tuesday. I think this might actually work!

Thats why I asked. I used the word weaker because I figured the master from a 1 ton truck would generate more pressure in the line. I assumed a brake system designed to stop a huge truck and trailer would cause near instant lockup on a light car. Am I wrong? Im more than happy to be educated...

I've got a parallel thread on a gm truck forum. Trying to determine if I can fit a weaker master cylinder on this booster. Im worried the Jb8 will be a lockup monster or blow up my wheel cylinders. Also the truck I got the booster from had a proportioning valve that I didn't grab. Think I...

The back half is from a 79 cutlass diesel reman from auto zone. The front half and piston is from a 1995 Chevy 3500 dually found in junk yard full of water. The benefits of this rig: It fits gn firewall, It fits the stock pedal, and 84 regal power steering hoses fit. Larger truck piston for...

Oooohhh I’m dumb, I didn’t know those parts were called control arms. My brain assumed rear control arms implied independent rear suspension. I get it now after crawling under the back of the car again. I’m gonna go ahead and pass on any mod that requires welding. I will look into upgraded...

As a gun finish it’s designed to take a lot of abuse, doesn’t look half bad either.

Yeah it’s drivers side, right before rearmost cylinder. Viewed from the top it looks like it’s goes entirely over the top side of the manifold. More than an inch long. What do ya’ll think of using cerakote on the exhaust? It’s a firearm ceramic paint, my buddy is a gunsmith and I could get...

Huh? o_O The rear control arms? Boxing the arms? Wat!

Just found massive crack in exhaust manifold! an old timer came up to me at the car show and told me I had a leak without even opening the hood. Guess I’m deaf. I imagine a major exhaust leak might effect spool up some?

Did a little scouting under the car, the body bushings seem in good shape. Rubber seems soft and not rotted.... The front sway bar looks decidedly aftermarket, not sure tho. Control arm bushings are pretty rough. I’ll let more experienced eyes look at it and tell me what I need.

yeah all the bushings sure look factory original, shriveled, cracked, and hard as a rock. I’ve been putting it off too long.

good tip, I just put new fillers on, that woulda made me sad
