  1. Yeah, get a bucket or pan to catch the fluid.
  2. The main thing is not to let the speedo gear fall into the transmission. I had to take mine to a tranny shop to get it fished out. It only has a single nut or bolt holding the clamp that keeps housing in place after removing the the speedometer cable.
  3. Sorry I didn't notice the 402 on your handle.
  4. Change the speedometer housing to a new steel unit. You can find them on Ebay or through a transmission supplier. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/250-250C-...s#ht_1898wt_939 That is on a turbo 350.
  5. All of those parts are new on my car. I think I have conquered this issue knock on wood.
  6. I mounted my new spare tire on the rim balanced and put the other tire on the spare unbalanced. Doing much better. Thanks for the advice Bruce.
  7. Now if someone had a new unilug 15 x 8 rally for sale I could put my spare tire on it and just change them out. My rally's are the unilug rally that came as a set of 4 with beauty rings and plastic derby caps.
  8. My spare is on an original 7" rally. I would have to exchange the tires. They are the same size.
  9. I just got back and we found I had 1 wheel tire that was above acceptable force. He rebalanced all and moved the worse 1 to the driver rear. The two front tires have 22 force where 27 and below is acceptable then the driver rear is 35 and the passenger rear is 24. I took it on the highway up to 85 MPH and it was very improved. If It gets worse I will swap tires on that wheel. My spare has a new tire also same type and size. I understand about the flat spots and I will keep that in mind next time. Thanks guys for your help.
  10. Clarke Tire has one. I will take it in the morning to check them out. $30-$40.00.
  11. I looked on line and it appears almost all of the tire shops around have them but who knows how to operate them?
  12. I am starting to believe the problem is my after market Vintique Rallys. I had them rotated and now feel the vibration in the front at 65 MPH and above. Have had them balanced several times even on the lug holes instead of center balance. Any advice on how to cure the vibration? they are 15 x 8 with 235/60/15 Uniroyal Tiger Paws.
  13. I think that was parts. Check with Randy's Ring & Pinion.
  14. Hopefully compression is not pushing that coolant.

    Exhaust ?

    I heard once that the engine needs a certain amount of exhaust resistance to operate properly.
  16. That's me. I ordered the parts and had my mechanic install them. I had it all changed and it was around $1100.00.
  17. I personally believe 20w50 was originally designed for race engines. If it was designed to run 30W then 10W30 would be good. You'r making your engine work harder to pump the 20W50. Some use it on engines with a lot of wear and may slow leaks.

  19. Who did you get it from? Are the Chevelle and Monte the same spring tension?
  20. Has anyone found a good source for a hood latch spring? The Hood Hinge Repair guys replace the bushings with there own machined bushings and claim they work better than new.
