Just completed this job. Taking out the bolt on the top right of the alternator makes for a slightly easier removal, however, it is still a major pain to remove with A/C lines in the way. After enough maneuvering, it will come free

Man I just went through the same process with my 2012 had my buddy run his scanner and cylinder 2 and 4 were misfiring changed spark plugs and coils among other things that needed replacing and now she idles fine. Thanks for the video. Not to many people explain things to people who no nothing about mechanical stuff 😅

Why the groove in the rotor?
@f1190452 ай бұрын
That groove in the rotor was from the factory it was a wear indicator. If that groove was to disappear or get very shallow you would know it was time to replace the rotor.

Did you just pull the fuel rail really hard to get it out after removing the bolt?
@f1190452 ай бұрын
I don't remember having to pull excessively to get the fuel rail out. Just make sure you have all four retaining bolts out.

Seems that you put the belt going different side of the pulley instantly after the alternator main pulley/freewheel? (compare on time stamps 4:38 8:59 )
@f1190452 ай бұрын
You have a good eye my friend. I did not put that belt on according to the diagram I showed. The belt is now rolling the different side of the alternator's fixed pulley. She just drove it on 1500 mile trip with no issues. But I will give her a heads up if there is any squealing that could be the cause.

Dan do you have a video on how to replace the side panels to get to the cylinders? Also how can u tell if the pump is ok. I’d rather not replace that if I don’t have to
@f1190452 ай бұрын
Sorry I don't have any video but you should be able to see all the screws and remove the window handle and then panel comes off. If the pump turns on and spins most likely it can be saved.

Greast Video. I have owned my 72 Supreme Convertible for 30 years and having the same issue. I tried stacking 2 of the composite gaskets together as I had an extra with a rebuilt carb I got with the car. Helped some but did not correct it. I will order this gasket and try it. I see your dashpot is missing the plunger. My original fell apart last year when I rebuilt the my original carb. Can"t seem to find the correct replacement.
@f1190452 ай бұрын
Here is the dash pot you need www.ebay.com/p/179055168 . However it wont be useful if you put on the thick spacer like I did. The carb will not align with it anymore.

Nice ride! Good job nothings ever a bolt on! I'm having a similar issue. I'm wondering what your thoughts are now. Did the spacer help? Did you have to readjust idle mixture? Thank you.

Yes the spacer took care of the carburetor issue when starting a hot car that has been sitting over 10 minutes. I don't remember having to readjust the carburetor after, but I may have, I just don't remember now.

You had to remove both bolts to slide it up. No way you just moved the AC lines enough to get it out.

I didn't think it was possible, loosen up the bolt holding both lines then pray and pull...

Saved me a lot of time and buying and returning parts that " may work" . I'm rebuilding an 8.5'' BOP for my 1970 Buick Skylark to replace the impossible to find parts for Buick one year only axle!
