    Interior Lights - Shorted Ground

    Well, it took me long enough to get back to this. A move and house work got in the way. I just pulled the interior light bulbs out until recently. Garyk1970 was correct. Finally, I pulled out the old Crimestopper alarm system. That did the trick. No more dimly lit interior lights. The unit must...

    Bulk Ammo??

    I've used the gun-deals.com site on many occasions also. WalMart is a good place to check. AIM Surplus, Wideners, and ammunition to go have been good sources. I've used ammoman in years past. No complaints.

    Interior Lights - Shorted Ground

    Thanks. Now, there's a possibility. I installed one when the car was new. It's been 24 years. I'll have to check how it was tapped in.

    Interior Lights - Shorted Ground

    Thanks. The dome light circuit checked out from the light fixture to the C453 connector under the dash. The white ground wire is not shorted to the chassis. The vanity mirror is unlikely to cause this type of problem. Yes, it has the same power source but it completes the circuit with a local...

    Interior Lights - Shorted Ground

    Yes, I did search the archives. Also, I did a search with google using the usual Boolean operators and looking for the Regal, Grand Prix, Malibu, Monte Carlo, etc.

    Interior Lights - Shorted Ground

    My interior lights started staying on all the time but they are dim. They do turn on bright with the doors open or the dimmer switch turned on. The ground circuit seems to have a short but with some resistance. I've checked the more typical failure points including the door jamb switches and the...

    looking for help installing weird 3 prong clamp on steering shaft boot

    Thanks for posting this. I like the idea of filling the gap with the o-ring and filler. I used needle nose pliers also. The installation went smoothly for me.

    steering shaft boot

    I just installed that boot last weekend. Similarly, I purchased the boot some years ago. The upper joint was a bit tight but with light taps it came apart. The two parts of the lower shaft assembly slide apart. Mine was dry with some rust resulting in the need to lightly tap it apart with a...

    How do you have your line lock installed?

    As forcefed3.8's suggested I have mine in the rear circuit also. '87 Grand National, Line Lock, Adjustable Brake Proportionin Valve, & Battery in Trunk It is mounted after the proportioning valve. I've had the setup since the early 90s. Works great.

    Sequential LED front signals!!!

    Without a doubt I will purchase a front LED marker set when they become available. I do have the rear LED lights and third brake light already. Will the front marker lights just make use of the 194 socket on the end of the harness? I prefer not cutting the harness. The setup for the third...

    Weber racing experiences

    All my dealings with Weber Racing have been very positive. I had a big block Chevy machined by them in the early 80s and it ran fine while I had it and is still running fine in a coworker's Chevelle today. I had them do machine work and some assembly with my Buick v6 on different occasions...

    Spal fan install question

    I decided to go the other way and get the matching connectors to the Spal fan. I contacted Spal directly at the time for the matching connectors.

    World of Motorworks

    I purchased the GNX instrument mounting hardware from Paul at World of Motorworks through his eBay sales. Everything was as described. This weekend (5/31/2009) I met him at the Buick Race Day at Summit Racing Motorsports Park (Norwalk, OH). I ended up purchasing the reproduction grille and...

    Kirban Performance Thumbs Down

    Similarly, I purchased a stainless steel crossover pipe from them some years ago and had exactly the same problem. I figured that many stainless exhaust products on the market tend to have poor quality fit and I haven't bothered with any more. The old ATR products were works of art but a good...

    I just purchased a couple of items from turbo6mike. He is a great individual to deal with. Also, he is very straight forward about the parts he is selling. John
