What have you done to your square lately??
Decided to experiment with Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30. We shall see if it lives up to the claims. Even if it does not, it will get me through the colder months. :Big Laugh: Almost seems like it runs smoother but that may be in my head.- Goldie Driver

Lost ignition!

Lost ignition!
It is actually the lock cylinder (ignition switch is at the bottom of the column)and it is not a difficult job if you have access to a steering wheel puller, a lock plate puller, and you aren't afraid to take out the turn signal switch. Quite a bit harder without those tools, but not...- Goldie Driver

Wiper Switch Conversion
I think you can if you have tilt- it would be a matter of swapping all the parts upwards of the tilt housing. Non tilt I am not sure on. Might be easier to get a used correct column if available just to be safe.- Goldie Driver

Stuck E brake on 87 Scottsdale
Welcome! Looks like the Front shoe is cracked in that one picture. I am thinking that rather than the parking brake sticking you may just he able to back off the brake adjustment star wheel on the bottom and get the drums back on.- Goldie Driver

What have you done to your square lately??
Had a weird blower issue tonight - one the way home, both front and rear cut off 3 times and then came back to life. The 3rd time was in front of the house - I opened the hood trying to find out if the compressor was out as well but it kicked back on before I had it open. My guess as to the...- Goldie Driver
