I had two windshield wiper switches that were causing me issues. One switch had all the mode settings reversed, and the other would get stuck switching between modes. I decided to take them both apart and have them both ready.

This is not a video on how to completely install auxiliary gauges from start to finish. I didn't want to cover all the details; I've seen some great videos already on RUclips that fully cover everything. I just wanted to cover the different connection points and a brief overview of how to correctly connect the gauges depending on your application.

How to replace quarter window molding in a 1970 Chevelle
Просмотров 16 тыс.4 года назад
I had to replace the chrome window molding and weatherstripping insert on my car. It ended up being more problematic than I thought. I ended up trying three different types of window seals; and, I found that the .045" thick glass setting tape was the best option. My goals were to not damage the window and to avoid removing the window.
How to add an Auxiliary Fuse Box on a 1970 Chevelle
Просмотров 5 тыс.4 года назад
So I needed to connect more than one accessory on my car, so I decided to add an auxiliary fuse box for my accessories. I wanted a clean look, safe installation, and a consistent flow of power. I figured running the panel through a relay would give me exactly what I wanted. I've never done a project like this; so, part of this project was to gain the learning experience and challenge myself to ...

    The fact is that even though distributor looks alike. They're not. There are differences in diameter at that bore from and to the housings. And because they're different materials they expand at a different rate. I took a distributor from another big block and installed it into the other drove the car. Had no oil pressure in 30 minutes. It took me 30 minutes to change the distributor to another and problem solved. Do you know how many people throughout the years have complained about bbc oils pressure issues. They all want hei or electronic ignition. I put my points back in, working perfectly

  • @Timberns

    The first one is slipping in the drill chuck… Losing pressure… The borrowed one is eating up your drill chuck…. Getting the pressure but at the cost of your drill chuck… Make sure you buy one with the three flats on the drill end… I know it’s old but maybe it’ll help somebody.

    I was able to pull the seal over the pins by taking the shaft over to my sink and ran very hot water on the rubber seal and it slide down over the pins one side at a time. It worked that way. I previously had replaced the seal on my other classic a 70 442 but I had to take it to a shop that had a press to get the pin out and then press it back on. That shop charged me a shop charge for an hour labor which was about 125.00. I was planning on doing the same thing again but one of my car buddies gave me this idea to run hot water over the seal and it worked.

    Had the same tool,oil very slowly came up most pushrods. The problem is the dimension of the two machined surfaces that form the oil channel is too small. I cleaned them up and wrapped a thin strip of duct tape around each journal. Trial and error till it fit snug in the block,my oil pressure jumped from 20 to 40 . Oil came up to all pushrods right away

    Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Although I only beat on the pin a few times, the Bottle Jack press solution is epic, or buying a full new telescoping shaft that fits both G and F Bodies. I did not know there was a difference between the G and F for this basic part. Who would have thought? Also, buying one with an inferior bell housing made everything harder. This has been one of the most challenging things I have had to do for the restoration of my 1979 GMC Cabellero. TheHumanSwissArmyKnife
