Good resource! Just did a full stereo build in my GR so it's nice to see people posting their solutions to a very sub-par audio system. Tip: should just disconnect the neg bat terminal instead of worrying about bumping a hot wire. Takes 5 seconds. Really should be done for any audio work.

You hand tightened the stud in? Is it flush behind the hub? I used an impact gun and still couldn’t get it flush the way the factory stud is.
@teamturner430022 күн бұрын
@@murk4545 Yes. The studs are in all the way. I was able to tighten them down and you can tell when they are all the way in because they get really hard to tighten any more. We also retorqued the lug nuts after a few miles to make sure everything was solid

I had the exact same problem - even managed to break one of the T20 screws holding the sensor housing and connected the sensor wrong (according to the writing on the sensor which is wrong). There is a method to replace the sensor with one in a turbo distributor - haven't done that yet.
@teamturner4300Ай бұрын
I looked into doing that, it is definitely possible as the turbo distributor has the sensor internally, the wiring isn't even that hard. That sensor in the distributor isn't as accurate/precise as the one behind the crankshaft pulley. At the end of the day I decided to just replace the defective sensor

Brilliant video! Seems you didn't have to bother with a CAT - but there still is an oxygen sensor. Is that a special version?

I love Chevies and four doors. I own a 63 Belair my Dad bought in 1966 and a 63 Impala (in Minnesota waiting for my holidays trips) and a 63 Corvair Monza as well: 4 Four doors are much more practical if you have a family. This car is not molested a lot. And a beautiful color and interior as well. I love stuff original. Those 6 cylinders are very bullet proof. I think you can make it running. If you put a modern engine in it it will be a modern junk in an old shell. That will destroy a perfect survivor in my book.

I have a beryl green 900 spa and it's one of 109 made in that color. I fixed it after it sat for about 13 years because of a bad slave cylinder that my uncle didn't want to deal with. It's an awesome car and I look forward to making it perfect. I have a question about interior parts. The switch housing for the headlights on my car rotates with the switch and I was wondering the best way to fix that.
@teamturner43004 ай бұрын
Thats awesome! I love low production cars and the Beryl is definitely a special one. As for the headlight switch, they usually rotate because the tabs on the switch itself break off allowing the switch to spin. Replacement of the switch is really the only fix. Its the same switch for the 900, 9000, and I believe even the ng900, and og9-3. Junkyards are your friend or FCP. Best of luck with your project!

As the owner of a 1991 900 SPG having owned numerous Saabs over 40 years, the original muffler tip was a single oval (centered in the bumper cut-out), but there were Saab Sports exhausts that were available back in the day - which might still be found today - that were twin tip stainless steel units.
