Been away from this site after the Elky went down the rode, but thought there might be some help here with the latest conundrum.: I have a 350 Vortec engine, and have not been able to get much info on it looking through various search attempts. I finally committed to removing the serpentine belt...

No Elky here any more, but found an old dealer brochure I hate to throw out. If I can post a photo, I'll do so.

This is not a show car, but my daily driver, 220K commuter. I've kept her going with repairs as they come up, and some have been a PITA, but I like the car. SO, today, after driving to several places, the next start and leave routine is odd,.... the column shift lever is "limp". :shock...

'86 305. After messing with an Over heating issue, stuck themostat, broken water outlet bolts, 2 vacuum switches, bad smog pump, new water pump, new hoses, new fan clutch,....... it doesn't over heat anymore. Whoopee.... Now, getting it runnig after the monthandahalf work, when I started the...

I have a daily driver that makes a squeal from the air conditioning clutch bearing. The air is inop, always has been, and I don't plan to fix that, but the noise is obnoxious. :shock: Can the clutch bearing be replaced inexpensively? What I would like to do is remove the pump and Air stuff...

I have been driving this old '86 for 10 years as an every day car, replacing parts as they fail, and using it for a 100 mile round trips to work. Got it when the 1st one was stolen, and just never did start restoration,..... a long story. Anyhow, I sure would like some comments on an Over...

Has anyone here found a source for replacing the Heater/AC Control ? Is there an aftermarket replacement or Repop? My '86 Elky has stopped working the defroster, and heater air duct valves, because the Vucuum rotary valve is N/G. The center pivot point of the rotary valve is bad, and I tried a...

I have an '86 ElCamino, and have been using it as a daily driver for +/- 8 years now. It is a 305, 700R4, OEM car with 120K on it. I put a radiator in it 6 years ago, and just replaced that one with the parts house replacement part, which happens to be an Aluminum core, weird looking thing, but...

My '86 Elky has had a good Cruise Control until recently. First I noticed it would disengage when the turn signal lever was moved, so I figured the wires in the lever or the switches must be intermitent. Now it has gotten worse, and will only stay engaged for 5 minutes, and then is a dead...

I've replaced power window motors in this car before, but they are getting slow again. Does anyone make a better replacement unit? All the ads tell you that their unit is the best.......... is there a known good repacement?

I've had this old Elky for about 10 years now, it's just a work car, and a few weeks ago I noticed the OEM oil pressure gage was acting odd. It would move in jerky motions. Then one day, as I got off the freeway after a 45 Min run, the oil pressure was down in the far left, Wow, that gets your...
