Show your sick toy !!!
It's a 1987. I did a complete "Refurbish" on it's appearance, replaced almost every bearing & bushing in the entire suspension. I did sell it last spring though! Added DG performance exhaust, really brappy & torquey little machine! Wheelies were super-easy. The headlight shrouds were a bit of a...- mtbadbob

Vacuum lines where do they go
That vacuum pot should be for your choke, not exactly sure on what vac port it should be connected to. You should be able to find a vac diagram on this site somewhere.- mtbadbob

Anybody got a fully functional cassette player?
I have an electronic tune that I'm cleaning up but haven't tested yet. Same one that's in my '87. I think it's missing the treble button though, but you can usually find those .- mtbadbob

Freak Injury Upon Another Freak Injury To Hand Requiring Emergency Surgery (Tool Safety)
I know a guy, a retired Stone Mason in fact. He built a cabin in the mountains and thought it was a good idea to cut out his window bucks with a 7-1/4" skill saw blade in his 8" grinder with no guard. It kicked back right into his face, cutting deeply into his jaw & inside of his mouth. Luckily... -

This makes 0 sense to me! Heater hose route

This makes 0 sense to me! Heater hose route
My '87 is like that only the connection is behind the TB and the Coolant Temp Sensor is where your hose connects to manifold. I'm assuming GM did that on the TBI's for a more accurate reading, the coolant having to travel further before it gets to the temp sensor. -

This makes 0 sense to me! Heater hose route
On my '87 auto, the wp is plugged, no heater hose connects to it. I'm 99% sure it's factory. -
This makes 0 sense to me! Heater hose route
That's EXACTLY what my '87 auto does, nothing off the water pump. My manifold fitting is behind the TB though, but I'm pretty sure that's original. Not t's or y's in my system whatsoever.
