    Driveline noise/drone/vibration

    Pinion and tailshaft angle mismatch will usually set up a vibration that comes and goes - a rhythmic thrumming. A steady gear noise does not indicate that to me ASAIK - but what I understand happens with the mismatch above is that it wears on the tailshaft bearing and the pinion bearing, so...

    1966 Newport power steering pump snub stopper replacement

    It fits both TRW & Federal pumps, I believe. Federals have a number cast into them behind the pulley on the pump body, TRWs have the letters TRW cast in the same place.

    Power Vent Motor- Anyone ever take one apart??

    The motor case's mounting points should provide the ground to the body to complete the circuit, but I have seen some window motors that require a ground wire. Make sure the motor is grounded properly in addition to what Big_John is suggesting.

    Well, if they've sat for years, and then been asked to do the same job under nearly identical conditions, there is nothing saying they couldn't/wouldn't fail at the same time. It's worth investigating.

    Power Vent Motor- Anyone ever take one apart??

    Well - even more I stand by my advice. It comes from my decades of pro music biz work. Often sound equipment makes various noises and buzzing, usually from a simple cause that can be a bear to find. When trying to find the source issue, we ALWAYS start at the sound source beginning and...

    Power Vent Motor- Anyone ever take one apart??

    Check first to see that the switch is delivering 12v to the motor, or is getting 12v to deliver at all. Work from the 12v feed source first before condemning the switch.

    Brake booster help

    The other option is to order the correct Cardone one (four wheel drums with power brake option), and return the other incorrect Cardone one in the box and get your $ back. Not my way of doing things, but... The incorrect one is a Field Install power brake retrofit unit for manual brake cars...

    Brake booster help

    I've been talking with you just now on FB about this. While the backing plate has the dimples for drilling and support, the issue remains with the booster in question about its bolt lengths once the bracket is removed, AND the length of the pedal push rod. Both can have serious consequences if...

    Looking for a repair manual

    The Cadillac/Olds/Buick people have tips and tech for that column. Also, the turn signal switches that mount at the bottom of the column are WAY cheaper to source through that camp than the Mopar version, which is otherwise identical.

    I assume this is the tailgate opening, based on the recent posts?

    Great, thanks! So, if I were to want to test it, hook up to the coil and ground it? Can't remember... negative side I think...
