    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    The name sounds familiar, but I'm terrible with names. I'm currently playing in the over 35 draft league, so its a different group of people every season. I think it's a holdover from my army days, but since no one is wearing nametags I have a real hard time remembering peoples names anymore.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I have definitely seen the boyfriends car around. I usually only bother to stop into In-n-out when I'm on my way back from beer league hockey in Sherwood at midnight, otherwise the line is stupid long and it isn't worth it

    Anybody try AT-205 for leaks?

    Also, never use a gasket sealing compound like this. They work by swelling the seal, which is actually just making the rubber loose and soft. It MIGHT close off the leak for a short period of time, but then it will most likely cause the leaking seal to catastrophically fail or other seals that...

    Anybody try AT-205 for leaks?

    Is it the v-6 or the inline 4? In my experience, hondas almost never leak from the main seal. It is far more likely to be the oil pan gasket leaking.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Nice. I'll probably be gutting out what little is left in there. It appears from the pictures to have already lost the cluster and all carpet/interior pieces. It has two buckets seats lightly set inside and the shifter in place... other than that it appears to be bare. I'll probably take the car...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Sorry to hijack the thread @Catbox. Hopefully we’ll at least get an update on her ride out of this. In the meantime, I’ll pay my pic dues for the intrusion. I’ll get some better ones when I actually have the vehicle, but for now:

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Welp, she's mine. Ended up winning the bid at $325. My buddy has already started convincing me it will need the tube frame front end and at least a 8.5 cert cage in it... :Big Laugh:

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Any updates on this thing? Supposed to be over 100 degrees tomorrow, did she decide she wants the AC working yet? :Big Laugh: I'm bidding on a 91 Z28 in a local auction and it got me thinking about this one. The one I'm bidding on is a 5-speed car and missing the engine, I'm planning on...

    You literally just click the "Forums" button, not browsing within the dropdown. Then scroll down to that section on the page it takes you to(the forum homepage).

    @Chevydad Within that section are manuals and reference material for all years.

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    Yes. That's the high pressure switch. The original low pressure switch is on the manifold right above it that has the hoses cut off in your picture. The squarebody has the low pressure switch on the filter dryer instead, and doesn't use a relay. So the entire compressor engagement amperage is...

    Turn signal assembly

    nope, I just removed the three phillips head screws and pulled the assembly out if I remember correctly. I think it was a little bit of a PITA to get the harness pulled out. I think I tied something to the connector before pulling it out of the column, untied it, tied it to the new connector...

    Switches

    My first thought is to throw it in the garbage. It is an old hydraulic actuated controller that needs to be spliced into your brake lines to function. Apparently, these models are well known and the white isn't needed because it grounds through the case when mounted. You just need to hook up...

    Turn signal assembly

    I replaced the entire white assembly as a single piece with the wiring harness on my 1980 K25. It was quick and easy, just plugs in at the base of the column.

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    The newer style manifold has the low pressure and high pressure switch right there at the compressor. The switches are on the engage signal circuit, but the compressor power itself is a relay. The squarebody uses a single switch in-line with the compressor engage signal. I personally just wired...

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    The worst part, in my mind, is that his is an 88, so it was already EFI. At least with yours it was already carb. There must be a FPR somewhere and it would be using the stock in-tank pumps... I assume.

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    I can probably help you out with that. I have the wiring diagrams for everything and have the exact same motor. I'm still trying to find the time to finish the swap on mine, but am very close and pushing to do it this year. You should actually have the stock compressor connection near there...

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    That's definitely an L29 compressor and bracket. Someone has converted it to R134 at some point, because the filter/dryer has the adapter piece on it. You will need to swap that piece over to the new filter/dryer and also make sure the pressure switch is the newer R134 conversion one. The...

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    If you post pics of what is there now, I can probably help you out. I have done a lot of research and work on swapping a 97 L29 into my 1980 K25. I swapped the sensor on the engine side to a three-wire pressure sensor to run the electric fans and kept the stock 1980 cycling switch on the...

    Best radiator fan kit -Alloyworks?

    The difference comes in control. The electric fan will flow WAY more air than a clutch fan at low engine RPM. The clutch fan only flows lots of air when it detects the radiator is hot and the engine RPM is high enough to flow it. If you don't have smart control of the electric fans, then it is...

    1988 r30 with newer motor ac problems 7.4 liter

    Post pics. I hate that they swapped in a better EFI engine and then stripped all the benefit out by swapping a carb onto it. I can show you how to properly splice in the AC controls on an L29 motor, but it sounds like they hacked it all up anyways.

    Death wobble

    The ford suspension geometry is well known to be prone to this even with brand new equipment. The entire steering will get vague and wobbly with a bad steering stabilizer on them. I guess the comment should have been that a chevrolet will only have death wobble due to worn/bad parts. Lift up...

    Under $10 bucks at most parts stores and amazon. The comp cams one from summit(which is probably made in the same factory on the same assembly line as the amazon ones) is $22.95

    AC Condenser Question

    A stock 80's Squarebody replacement condensor will be parallel flow and have the lines on the passenger side. A GMT-400 condensor will also do the same thing and is exactly the same size as the factory 74-80 condensor size. You might have to fab some bracketry to fit it, but the GMT-400 parts...
