Been puttering on the car last couple nights after work and got the radio wiring harness installed and tested. First time I’ve heard music inside that car since I parked it in 1991. Very sad thought but it was really cool sitting in it tonight with AC/DC playing!
I have to shore up the mounting points for the radio as this car saw many stereos over the time I daily drove it and it’s been abused. Got one side set and glued tonight, I’ll do the other side Sunday, work and company tomorrow.
Not sure I mentioned it but the car is a paperweight at the moment as I broke the shift shaft on the TH700R4. I was going to change the simple Camaro bracket for one that could control the links to the steering column so I’ll have my safety features back and working. I tried a few GM dealerships and they say GM has them on Backorder. I stopped at a transmission shop on my lunch break and he couldn’t find that shift shaft through any of his suppliers. But he called me later on in the day and found a used one and is having it shipped over. Should be here Wednesday latest as it’s coming from upstate NY.
Of course, a used one popped up on eBay but I never found it with a search of the GM part number.
I am going to keep looking for a new one to have on the shelf just in case. The transmission guy said he hasn’t rebuilt a TH700R4 in years but did do a TH200R4 a few months back for a guy with a HotRod.
Maybe I should just pony up and buy the -Jericho 5 speed manual I’ve been wanting….
