    K5 rear window motor - Replacement are garbage - Alternative solution

    The problem is likely in the mechanism itself, even though it seems to move easily with the drill. I gave up and converted to a manual crank assembly after twisting off a new cable...even though the window moved readily with a small drill.

    K5 rear window motor - Replacement are garbage - Alternative solution

    1968 Pontiac LeMans

    Sweet. Love the old Ponchos..learned to drive in a 65 Catalina 389. I love the floating intake...it leaves room under it to hide a stealth nitrous system if you want. It looks like it will be a Sunday car show ride...

    ignition cylinder lock problem

    There is an outfit in Wichita Kansas which rebuilds steering columns. I'm sure they can get any part. Look for a local to you steering column rebuilder...I know of one in Dallas Texas too, right there on I20 east.
