Trying to assemble theses parts next

Seems that both jaws are not the same, will have to determine which goes where. Does not say anything about it in the service manual

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Not sure it matters. All it does is provide the indent for where the pin goes for each position of the tilt. Thats why it's staggered like that. Should move and stop in each position regardless of which way you install them. I was trying to see if I had pics from when I assembled mine, but couldn't find them. But I really don't think it matters.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks for your reply, ill check it out. Maybe, ill pull the springs out, and see how it works

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

here ya go bud...they've never been out.....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thank you for your time...saves me. Service manual says to use a soap based grease, think it matters

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You're welcome..... glad to help. I pulled this off of Wikipedia .... "In the context of lubrication, grease typically applies to a material consisting of a soap emulsified with mineral or vegetable oil." So personally I don't think it matters.... I always use the same grease I use on my ball joints haha

Found it was easiest to clamp the bowl to a work surface, gave you two hands to start the retaining pin

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Nice guard there!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Found out that if you push in the two side tangs from the front, you can use the channel locks to press out the connecter. Luckily the tangs are not spring steel, so once you push them in, they stay in, so it makes it easier to extract them. Dont forget to bend them out when you are ready to install them

You can just make out the two side tangs

Trying to figure out how to fix my heater control, seems that a number 4 screw would fit, so i can drill and tap. Used my dremel cutoff wheel to get rid of the burr on the rivet, now it will act as a alignment dowel. Just have to drill the center

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

J, why are you running two cruise switches? Just trying to see which one you like better? Is that a vacuum setup or newer?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Ding ding ding, we have a winner:lol: you get to choose one of the following great prizes from my pile of parts....list to follow, come on down Red:smoke:

Actually, the master cruise switch looks like a dealer installted option, so i will be opting for the turn stalk switch....thought i could use both, but M&H says i cant

Vacuum, that is another story. Was goning to use a air pressure gauge, for my compressor, but decided a vacuum gauge would be more usefull in keeping my foot outta the throttle....WOT

Found it on the classifieds, so im guessing its stock

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

hehe, I think I may have mixed my metaphors or something. I meant was your cruise system a vacuum operated one...Do you have a vacuum guage too? I put one in my Blazer too, but still haven't figured out what it is telling me.

That stalk kind of looks like the one I have on my 71 pickup. Its a 73 and up aftermarket system that Sears used to sell. It ran off of vacuum and a magnet on the driveshaft for speed input. Mine has a slide on off switch too, though.

You are welcome sir....I try to give back what little I can to a forum who has helped me SOOOOOOO much.... :chevy:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

OK! Now i see what your asking....it is operated by vacuum, brake pedal cuts out vacuum and electrical

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Think ill paint it black

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...214_114643.jpg

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Not black, I'd have it powder coated a chrome or bright silver.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

How about if we split it half way...mixed transtar gravel guard (white), with eastwood sprayable undercoating(black) and came up with a grey.

Finish has to be brush/roll on, durable. Powdercoating is out right now, dont have access to a large oven, yet!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

How close is it to the rings/buckets? I'd think it would look better if it matches spot on or is black or bright silver like the trim.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I vote for black.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Grille rings are graphite, headlite buckets are argent silver, polished aluminum trim, chrome bumper, body color is flat white.....so, thats why i thought black

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Nice guard. Do you want it to stand out or blend in? Black for the first and white for the second. I vote black.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

That is a good question, and one that i do not know the answer too.....now you got me thinking

Maybe i should run a poll and let that answer my situation, dunno
