Restoration / Inside picture of a 69 windshield washer pump

« on: August 29, 2015, 04:52:58 PM »

I am attempting to rebuild my wiper motor and washer pump assembly. I had so much caked grease on the washer pump that I could not really tell how the thing was originally installed. Now that everything is clean and I am putting everything back together I am stumped on the final assembly. If I had an image that would be great. I have searched google images and can't find anything. I feel like an idiot this should be so easy? If someone had a pic that would be great.

Thanks

Restoration / 69 front coil springs

« on: August 27, 2015, 11:57:21 AM »

I want to make sure I am going about this right. I have installed new leaf springs on my 69 BB convertible, but the right rear still sags. I have measured all four corners and the right side of the car is a little lower than the left side. I have purchased Moog front coil springs in order to have all the springs on the car new and hopefully balance the stance. Will new front springs level the stance out on the car?

Thanks

General Discussion / Anyone know anything about this car

« on: July 10, 2015, 07:34:39 PM »

I have a friend that is looking at this car. Does anyone know anything about it? Is the date of the car on the cusp of when the "X" codes were put on the trim tag?
Thanks for your help.

Maintenance / No power to the solenoid?

« on: April 24, 2015, 10:05:53 PM »

When I turn the key on my car it acts as if I am trying to start the car without the clutch depressed. I have a known good starter, and solenoid. I want to take a few voltage or amp tests in the system to try and find either a bad connection or part. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks

Restoration / Soft seal weatherstripping from NPD

« on: January 13, 2015, 12:50:55 AM »

Does anyone have experience with the current Soft Seal door weather stripping from NPD. I need the trunk seal, both door seals and the header seal that goes on the front of the convertible top. I believe in the past Soft Seal just did not compress properly and it was hard to shut the doors. They were not latex but something else. Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

Thanks

Restoration / Final adjustment on RS Headlight doors

« on: July 28, 2014, 12:27:31 PM »

I am doing some fine tune adjustments to my Gold car and would like to get the driver headlight door to close a little tighter. Before I took the car apart and painted it the doors were perfect. I have the passenger door adjusted great but the drivers doors needs just about a 1/4" more adjustment to close properly. I have adjusted the plate on the cross member all the way rearward and that is not getting me the last little bit of adjustment. The vacuum canisters are OER repops that work great but was wandering if I have one that has a shaft that is a little too long. Anyone had that problem, or is there another place where I should be looking to adjust to get this last little bit of adjustment?

Thanks

I ran across this on CL. Looks like it may be worth investigating if anyone is in the market for a 69 Camaro convertible.

I saw this car on CL and thought you guys out West may want to check this out. Seems pricey for what it is but if the engine is with the car and the body is as solid as it looks could be a pretty good survivor car.

General Discussion / Another Tire Question

« on: March 28, 2014, 01:45:15 AM »

Anyone running 22560R15 in the front and 25560R15 out back? I need new tires on my Gold car and was thinking about mixing it up a bit. This would give me a tire out back that would be .7 inches higher than the front. That seems like alot?
Discount Tire says on their site that P20570R15 are the stock size, but I thought JohnZ said 22560R15 were the closest to stock? Anyone know?

Anyone have a requested setup?

Thanks,

Lawrence
