    Inoperative Gauges

    There’s a plastic circuit board that contains the ground. I used a paper clip to fix, years later I bought a board on line.

    Custom Tail Lights or Not

    El Camino, Cadillac it individualizes your ride. Once you vary from stock you’ve opened up a blank canvas. I get it, l like it! Have fun, that’s what it’s all about

    Looking for wheel lock nuts

    Typically locks are more of a pain than effective. Wheel locks are one of the first things I remove. Park in a safe place, have there been problems with theft in the neighborhood?

    Old v belts vs new v belts

    Use only a quality belt, avoid cheap ones, too much depends on them. I run Dayco belts and hoses.

    Spare Tire Carrier Option?

    Mine came with the glide out carrier as an option. After installing the hitch I don’t believe it will still work. In your picture I’m not seeing the exhaust as well. Personally I just signed up on my wife’s AAA. The stock glide out carrier works well

    8-track player install

    Understood, I love the sound of well played vinyl. Brings back fond memories. Sounds of a bygone era! I get kids in the truck that don’t know what the window cranks are for.

    8-track player install

    Show machine? Trying to understand why when there is modern plug and play available. Cool, yes! Led Zeplin full blast, yes! But……no way will it it match the sound quality of a modern deck. IMHO

    AC Compressor Change - Accumulator/Orifice Tube Criticality

    Okay, if it is a single system the orifice tube is located in the condenser, if a dual system, in line. It’s always a good idea to replace the accumulator in that it contains celicate bags that can rupture and contaminate the entire system. Orifice tubes can be stubborn coming out and rather...

    Air Conditioning leak checking / finding information sharing thread

    Oil is what circulates the refrigerant through the system. A leak will show up as an oily spot. Dye is used to distinguish one oil leak from another. Look on the underside of your hood for an oily streak indicating a compressor seal. Look closely at both sides of the condenser, again looking for...

    Best Spent $$ for Square Restoration

    Buying and storing parts has one drawback, it’s hard to return a part that doesn’t fit a year later. Overall I had pretty good luck. Best restoration parts were the GM re-pops.

    Best Spent $$ for Square Restoration

    I like that sort of creamy yellow Chevrolet color, it’s a great color. Changing color is a frame of restoration. Depends on how far you want to go. I like the yellow and you can play with the shade on the repaint without having to do the jams and the bed conserving costs. The yellow with black...
