The R and S lines are the same clip? Is it possible to mix them up and what might happen if you did?
@g3garage23 күн бұрын
It's been a while since I've done this, but if I recall, all 3 lines have different size fittings. Regardless, you should mark each one before you remove them to be sure. Because if you do accidently switch the return and supply line, the vehicle will not run. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video. I have a question, which compressor lines did you use? The Roadmaster or the Cutlass or some other one and why? Thanks again
@g3garage25 күн бұрын
I ended up using the hoses from the Buick Roadmaster. They fit better around the wheel well than the Cutlass hoses.

The el camino is absolutely amazing. So much so i went and bought a 1987 choo choo el camino i have afew questions how can i get in contact with you?
These servos are pretty much the same in all 80's GM cars, I have same unit in 1990 Suburban. Mine was occasionally leaking out vacuum causing speed loss, but recently the other valve malfunctioned and actually forced acceleration by letting too much vacuum. I disassembled both valves, having to replace a spring in a vacuum valve and substitute a crumbling white orifice with a gas nozzle from a stovetop, I did a writeup with some pictures on a GMsquarebody forum.

Do you know if on a Manuel regulator if the small gear that’s spinning from the hand crank can be bought an replaced
@g3garageАй бұрын
No one that I'm aware of reproduces the regulator or any parts inside the regulator for these vehicles. Your best bet is to find a good used regulator and replace your broken one. We have several in stock and our website that we sell these parts on should be functional in the next couple of weeks. You can contact us on the website g3garage.com or send an email of the details (right/left/2DR/4DR, etc) on the part(s) you need. Thanks for your comment.

@@g3garage Yes we do but I lack the skills you possess. I’m partial to Pontiacs but love any of the colonnades. In the late 70s my brother had a beautiful 75 Cutlass Supreme. Black with a white landau roof and bucket seat interior. That’s what got me into them. In the mid 80s my first car was a 75 GP. Loved that car but it was a rust belt roach. A neighbor had a 75 with T tops that was really nice. He kept it in mint condition and I always wanted it. After several attempts I finally bought it over 20 years ago. Still under 50,000 miles. Building a mild 455 for it. I’m also going to put a set of rally gauges with a tach and put a sport steering wheel on it. Other than some bubbling under the vinyl roof at the base of the rear window it’s basically rust free. It was Ziebarted back in the day and garage kept. Can’t take it to a gas station without someone talking to me about it. Your Can Am is definitely cool. Hopefully it has the W72 400. Not really a Chevy fan but the Laguna and the 75 Elcy with the 454 are sweet. I didn’t know they made an SS package in 75. Good luck with your new digs. Looking forward to new content. Stay safe.

@@mikee2923 Definitely love these Colonnades! I've been a Chevy guy most of my life, but have really gotten into the Pontiacs in the last couple of years. Love to see pics or video of you GP. As far as skills go, most everything I've learned is from watching videos on this platform and being fortunate enough to hang around a few car guys that know way more than me. Ah Ziebart, if it wasn't for that treatment being done back in the day, half of these cars would have turned to rust piles long ago. Yes, the Can Am is the W72 Pontiac engine and runs great after waking it up from a 20 year nap. The El Camino carried the SS option all the way to the end of its run in 1987. Of course this was nothing more than a trim level with graphics and or badges. But it does drive the value up. Thanks and really appreciate the comments! Take care Mike

Thanks so much for your interest. This Grand Am is still in my possession. Its been put on the back burner for a while since we just purchased property with a shop and have slowly been moving the shop to our new location. I will have an update video coming out in the next week or so going over all the projects that we will be working on this year. As far as interior parts, the only things that are readily available for the Grand Ams are headliners, lower door panels, carpet sets and just recently, one of the guys on the facebook group for 73-75 Grand Ams is offering restored dash pads. I would recommend joining that group as well as joining tthe forum G3GM.com. They focus on all GM A Body vehicles from 1973-1977. Hope this helps and stay tuned!

I’m going to install tubular control arms on my ‘55 Chevy Nomad. My Dad kept a sign on his desk that said, “the bitterness of poor quality remains longer than the sweetness of low price”. Yes, the price was good but you spent a fair amount of your time chasing stuff back and forth. Too much work to install these only to have to tear the whole thing apart to replace with what maybe should have been purchased at the start.

If you look at the impeller on each pump it's very easy to see that they rotate opposite of the other.
