    What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

    Yes I figure it is worth $8000 today but when it is 100% it will hit fair market value.. That will be my sons chore to sell unless It kills me in a fiery wreck, but I intend to drive it until 2 years after they take my license away :wax:

    What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

    On Veterans Day there is free stuff all around so I got a free cups of coffee, and a Krispy Kreme donut. I drove the El Camino over 40 miles in an errand loop, and while that may not impress you, you would have to read of my struggles for the last several years even getting it to start and run...

    Power Steering Box High Pressure hose

    Because the adapter and o-ring make the seal, I would say that you need the inverted flare adapter or there may be leakage under pressure. The two types make it simpler depending on your hose thread. New boxes have metric threads, while old hose applications have SAE and inverted flares. if...

    Neutral Safety Switch

    Thank you! I thought it was too easy. I will got the quick route for now and find a mechanical switch to mount on the transmission. The best part is with my higher stall, until I goose the throttle it just sits there quietly when in P and reminds me gently that it is really in reverse

    Neutral Safety Switch

    I did remove the manual linkage and replaced with a cable on the floor. I did not touch the switch in the column yet. The collar turned freely so I put it in the Park position and duct taped it to be immobile for now. The shifter I have is from an S-10 one for an OD so below Drive it has 3...

    Neutral Safety Switch

    For those of you who have moved your automatic shifter from the column to the floor, how do I wire the neutral safety switch? I have twice now had the ground wire on the firewall melt in two. I have no safety switch in the floor shift set-up so I rigged the rotating collar to always be in park...

    Power Steering Box High Pressure hose

    Could someone please state which of the two, LARGER or smaller diameter on a 1986 Steering box is the high pressure side. There is so much conflicting information. I stand on the drivers side of the car where the steering box is. The holes are offset and they are different diameters. Please...

Using my 1968 Pump and correct pressure hose and one adaptor on the pressure side of the box, and a 1987 low pressure hose , which has the correct threads to the low pressure on the box.

    Power Steering Brackets Olds V8

    I just wrote down what my brain was doing, and it hurt here too. I have a functioning 68 pump, and the hose for a 87 Pump, also the entire pump for an 87 which will go ion EBay after we solve the mismatch. I see you have cited an adapter which is what I needed to know. I need to adapt the 68...

    What did you buy for your G-body today? [2024]

    Okay I got the new hose and it has two o rings which I assume fit on the very tip of each end, but it also has a yellow plastic cap. Do I ignore it? The source had no directions at all. One size fits everything for a decade drives me nuckin futs! The fitting into the box seems shorter...
