    Bad Master Cylinder?

    Bad luck/POS chinesium part. If the shoes are still dry you should be able to change the wheel cylinder out only removing 1 spring.:waytogo:

    Heat riser exhaust valve

    It pulls the heat riser valve closed. No vacuum it is defaulted by the spring to open. So, exhaust passes thru the intake under the carb to help fully evaporate the liquid fuel to vapor, thus the Early Fuel Evaporation name. The exhaust is only able to get out the drivers side manifold when...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Did something entirely new in my history with any square: Oil change with 5 water 30. Yeah, I have topped off with it, but never used it for a SBC. SuperTech semi synthetic- we will see how it gets along in the high volume oil pump. Oh, I used that gently used oil filter I have been saving...

    Rebel turn signal

    I had a similar issue and the new bulb I had was bad. A new new bulb :cool:from the parts store solved the issue. If that is not it then perhaps the socket is bad or the turn signal switch. But, I would double check that bulb with new and put a little dielectric grease on the contacts. You...

    Identify that wire

    Not sure about your question, but, with a test light you can follow this test procedure. My PO tied a toggle switch into the wiring from under the hood to allow it (the lockup) to be turned on and off.

    Identify that wire

    I am almost 100% you are correct- that seems like the test point I used. And, see below from an 82 Factory Service Manual.

    Windshield wiper and washer problem

    If you can send me a pic of that spring I would like to see it. I suspect my issue is mechanical and that spring is there, but maybe it contracts too much in the cold.:think:

    Axle/Suspension Piece Identification

    Looks like an aftermarket truss bar. Not sure how worthwhile they really were. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/129-0401-poison-spyder-customs-axle-truss/amp/

    Headliner questions

    Snakebite is kind of a diamond pattern. EDIT- better pic of the old. My new headliner is from Classic Industries - it is NOT correct, but it is in there and does not sag ... :anitoof:

    Turbo 350 invertor lockup switch???

    From the factory, it was supplied by a thermal vacuum switch that did not receive vacuum until the engine hit a certain temperature. On Goldie now it is hooked to manifold vacuum without the TVS. My transmission guy did not feel the converter lockup when the transmission was cold would be an...

    86 C10 headlights went out

    Both times I suddenly lost headlights it was the dimmer switch. I had parking lights and instrument lights, though. Best of luck!

    AC temp control wire

    Wheel bearing problems… please help!

    This basic procedure is what I have always used. ( It's about halfway down where they talk about packing the bearings. ) https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/a1139/4205243/ Tighten until there is resistance, back off, and align the castle nut with the closest slot upper and lower...

    Is there a single prong Lock up switch?

    On Goldie, it feels and sounds kind of like I hit 4th gear around 40MPH. It is noticeable to me. I cannot tell on the phots. Looks like you are under the driver's side looking up. Cam you see the 2 prong connector from under the hood? I am wondering if it is maybe for the cruise module.

    Is there a single prong Lock up switch?

    The 3rd and 4th photo appears to be a EFE valve - early fuel evaporation in emissions speak. It was spring loaded open if the design is the same as my 1980 and pulled closed by a Thermal Vaccum Switch- TVS - on start up. It let exhaust gases go thru the intake manifold to help preheat the fuel...

    Brake Light Socket Issue - ?

    OK - how about a solution. Bad (new) bulb. Bought some at O Reallys on the way home as a sudden I wonder ! flash of inspiration. Of course, it could have been the heat - I had the window down. But, the new bulb fixed it. :)

    Brake Light Socket Issue - ?

    I guess what I was asking was that given that I can make the bulb flash if I hold it in place was it safe to assume it was just a socket issue. @squaredeal91 - I do - at the house. LOL

    Brake Light Socket Issue - ?

    My time in the barrel for this one. If you put a new bulb in where the prongs are reversed from where the bulb will hold, it will light up for brake or hazards. Installed correctly, it will not work- just the tail lamp glows. Since it lights up, I am assuming power/wiring is good and the...

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    Probably has ac and a cloth seat - fancy city slicker truck. :anitoof: Goodie's cruise plays games, too. It will suddenly lose the set speed but will also sometimes regain it when you push back down on the pedal. Our 77 back in the day had issues maintaining speed on hills - you would have...

    How does horn get activated?

    I wonder if the steering wheel has some warpage that mechanically impedes the functioning. Some things are just easier to see hands on, but hard to do via teh interwebz... :think:

    How does horn get activated?

    When you put the 3 screw piece in, but do not have it screwed in at all, does it move freely? I just can't see how it would not unless the plastic is not going down in both sets of holes.

    How does horn get activated?

    Is the convex spring facing with the bow out towards you? You flatten it with the 3 screw piece when you press the horn pad which makes the convex piece touch that little stem held in the cam ring and voila ! the circuit closes and horniness results. You can also test the circuit if those...
