    Ignition problems

    I would think lock cylinder, not ignition switch as unlock issues are more typically lock cylinder. Or, a worn key - have you tried another? Ignition switch pic, FYI- did that today.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    To solve the original blower problem the column has to come down. And, hopefully the super glue holds on this vent. Some of the mounting ears broke. PITA. :mad: I hate getting into it due to the aftermarket stereo and the engineered solution for the shift indicator. Who would have thought...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    More dash work - had to check out the ac switch since BOTH blowers would randomly quit working. I think it is the pin in the ignition switch or the plug is loose. Since I was there, and the brake light bulb had quit working due to a bad trace, more engineering. The fuel gauge trace was messed...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sway bar bracket/LMC fun. Bracket broke - I have a 1980. Ordered the 2nd gen bracket that LMC says started late 79. Makes more sense than early 79. Nope. Original next to the new 34-1382. I did a new order for 1 of each bushing and 2 of the old brackets. Something will combine. Meanwhile...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Well, let's assume the valve is good. Maybe a silly question, but are the longer shoes on the rear ? Rear is the secondary shoe position which is the longer shoe.

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Just slow, and hold it all the way down until both bleeder screws are closed. Be sure to make sure that the fluid level in the reservoir is OK before you do this and afterwards. Don't want to run it dry. It's a free experiment if you have brake fluid.

    Happy to be here.

    Welcome from Houston, Texas! Pics ? :cool:

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    I think the way to look at it is that it isolates the good side and you won't lose the fluid from that side of the system. When mine failed not too long ago ( aftermarket replacement) that is what happened. I did have a low pedal as I was only stopping on the rears at the end which I think is...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Yes and no as I assume you and your helper did one wheel cylinder at a time. I am saying to open BOTH rear bleeders in an effort to emulate a rear failure and make the proportional valve spool shift over. They normally will recenter once the fault is corrected and a hard press of the brake...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Just my .02 from personal experience, but I would not change the valve as your replacement is going to be Chinesium. If you do change it , hang on to the old one. One thought might be that the valve is not centered. With a helper, try cracking the rear bleeder screws and push the brake pedal...

    Welcome from Houston, Texas! Got any pics of said beastie ? :)

    Free, you pick up.

    Advantage of driving Goldie to work - I can wander out to look. Pics ! Well, of one without the shield. I am guessing that it just goes over the straps and there are nuts and bolts.

    Free, you pick up.

    I assume the mounting holes are already there in the frame and it's just a matter of bolting it up ? Been a while since I actually saw one in place.

    Free, you pick up.

    Well, I would see if there is a local sale 1st as less hassle for you. But, after whatever you think is a fair amount of time, you still have it ... Then we should talk routes. :anitoof: Thanks ! Britt

    Shame on that skid plate as Goldie could use it. But, shipping ... :nono:

    Think you could check to see if the rear door panels still have ashtrays ? :cool: Thanks either way.

    Steering column bearings help

    Closest I can find is here: https://www.steeringcolumnservices.com/nontilt.php This assumes the bearing is the same between a 3 speed and an auto non tilt. Pricey little devil - Brg14 at -$113 ... :eek:

    Brake Issue

    One on top of each other- primary shoes. Looks like no difference in thickness. Gold colored rivets on the Delcos. Just informational for those interested. If the Tru Arc description is as described then those should be the better shoes IMHO.

    Brake Issue

    FYI- I got the DFCs in tonight. I had some AC Delco Golds I had bought off Fleabay a while back. P/Ns and pics - I am trying to keep the AC Delcos on the right in each pic. Contd.

    please recommend a transmission dipstick that isn’t junk.

    That happened on my 4RUNNER. Right before a road trip... Fortunately it was easy to get out, and the top half latches down so it stayed sealed.
