Maintenance / 69 convertable

« on: February 04, 2008, 12:52:45 PM »

does anyone know how you get the convertable pump/motor out of a 69? I have one of the plastic lines broke at the cylinder on the car and will need to refill the resevoir. I am down to where the pump is and it is setting on rubber grometts. I couldnt see how it comes off. Also has anyone had any luck splicing into the plastic line that feed the cylinders? They are the originals so the are pretty brittle. I was thinking of trying it along the line where it was straight, May be that I should just change them all out. Steve

Hey guys its been a long time since my last visit. I'm having a little trouble with my temp gauge and need some help. I noticed that my car seemed to be running hot. I changed the thermostat and still running up against the red mark, the car really didnt seem hot though, so I put a thermomater in the radiator and it read 190 so I dont think I am really overheating. anyway, long and short of it I bought a new gauge from ricks camaro's and started trying to put it in. It fits in alright but on the old one there is a little resistor looking board that wasn't supplied with the new one and the bakelite board that the connector plugs plug into are slightly different and the contactor prongs wont fit on it right for the plug. What do I need to do? When I hooked it up and turned on the key it goes all the way over to the cold side and wont move even when the car is at running temp. I then tried to hook the old one up and it now does the same stinkin thing. I must be hooking it up wrong so could one of you guys help me out and describe how it is supposed to be hooked up? I would greatly apprieciate it. its a 69 with console gauges. Thanks in advance. Steve

Mild Modifications / secret audio

« on: November 26, 2005, 01:30:08 PM »

Has anyone used the secret audio? the old am-fm is ok but most of the time I just get one speaker to work, I want a decent sound system but Im not willing to take the original unit out, these look to be the answer, you can put it under the seat and theres one that works from radio frequency to control the remote so you could even hide the face plate, I only listen to one or two stations so I wouldnt need to see the face plate on a day to day basis. thanks,roper
