    Kidney Stone

    Well, this seems to have been a success. Yesterday I checked into a local hospital at 2PM for a laser lithotripsy. Nurses, techs, doc, they were all great. Got into the OR a little late but typical for a busy hospital. Woke up in the recovery room and was home by 9:00. I love same day service...

    Can Anyone Use These ?

    Had these in a box in my shed. Hate to toss them. Theyre from a mid 80s Cutlass sedan with power vent windows. The inserts are the originals from my wagon. What you see is what you get so look closely. I can box them up. Dont want any money just pay for the shipping. Cheapest way I can find.

    Electrical Glitches

    Went to drive the wagon the other night and had a few little electrical issues. First the fuel gauge was bouncing back and forth for at least 5-10 minutes. It seemed to stop after driving it for a couple of miles. Second issue was the fan. No matter what speed theres not much air moving...

    Power Door Locks

    Question, are the grounds for power door lock actuators behind the kick panels on both sides ? Not sure what the heck happened but all of a sudden the door locks stopped working on both doors. I pulled the panels off when I recently changed the uppers. Now they stopped working. Im assuming the...

    Fire Extinguisher

    Getting ready to buy a new fire extinguisher for my car. I had two Halon 2.5lb extinguishers for years. Had one behind the seat of my truck and one on the floor in my Nova.

    Wagon Fuel Tank Question

    Crazy question. Anyone know how many lines are on a wagon fuel tank ? I had 3 on the coupe. I ran AN line to the pump. Capped one at the sender. The third I ran to a roll over check valve/vent. The wagon only has 2. I had to replace the rubber lines that run from the lines on the tank to the...

    Hood Hinge Question

    Some of you folks have followed the build of my 83 wagon. The cars basically finished except for one thing thats a pain in the butt. The cowl hood clearance situation. I tried to use gas struts but the angle or geometry isnt right. The shocks I bought were good for over 115 lbs each. Couldnt...

    For the wagon guys, Im looking for a couple of parts

    Found a real clean factory jack at the local yard in a Regal. Still need the handle/tire iron but I might just use a breaker bar with a thin wall socket to get the lugnuts off. No big deal. What I do need is the rest of the hold down for the jack. I have the two wing nuts. Looking for the piece...

    Running Boards

    For anyone with a GM truck with factory running boards that have faded Ive got a good solution. Upol Raptor. My wife drives a 2010 Yukon that we bought back in the Fall of 2011.
