A/C design
You're in for a lot of work. I took a complete factory AC unit out of a parts car and installed it in another vehicle, same year, model and engine. Had both vehicles side by side in the shop, never again. Seemed like a reasonably easy job but turned out taking 3+ days over 20 hours labor. -

87 SILVERADO WITH AN 78 350 BORD 40 OVER WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AFTER SEAFOM
Until you start with hard diagnostics all your doing is guessing. Attempting a vehicle repair that way usually results in frustration and replacing unnecessary items. Seafoam is not the problem. More than likely did what it is designed to do. Yes, water in fuel is always a possibility...- fast 99

87 SILVERADO WITH AN 78 350 BORD 40 OVER WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AFTER SEAFOM
Need an actual number, carb performance [fuel level] depends on correct fuel pressure and adequate volume. Low pressure/volume engine runs out of fuel/lean. High pressure carb can't hold it back, overflows or runs rich. Some part stores have loaner tools.- fast 99

87 SILVERADO WITH AN 78 350 BORD 40 OVER WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AFTER SEAFOM
Might have dislodged a piece of crud into a carb circuit. Were those parts installed before or after the problem? What carb, what speed? Description is somewhat vague.- fast 99

Anyone seen these big tanks on a C30?
Might have been from a co called Travel Tanks. Had a set on 72 K20. Common before emissions and liability took over.- fast 99

454 problems timing/carb?
Does it crank evenly if ignition is disabled? If not do a compression check. Install a vacuum gauge is it steady, what is the reading? Check fuel pressure- fast 99

What compressor/gas?
Mitchell shows it originally came with R12, 3.25 lbs. If converting to 134 A some changes will need to be done for it to be successful. Tell us what is available in your country then we can help with a change over and recharge. At the very least it will need an O ring kit, orifice tube, and drier.- fast 99

relays, connectors, fuse block & general wiring supplies WTB
240Z you say? Owned several of those back when they were new. Was fresh out of high school doing wreck rebuilds. 71 240Z 73 & 74 260Z 79 280ZX. Really like the injected ones better for everyday. Wish I would have held onto at least one but sad to say they went down the road along with the 64 VW bug.- fast 99

(Advice) PCV Valve strange issue.
Gat an AC Delco or GM PCV. Have seen that many times. Rattling PCV will not flow as designed either. A replacement PCV will not fix the oil use. Is the baffle in place? Excessive blow by?- fast 99

Ignition switch upgrade
Good point could do both. Owned an 89 Maxima stolen from work. Although rudimentary it had an audible alarm, didn't slow them down. However, this group was more of a professional nature. Borrowed the car to make a drug run to Idaho. Reason I know that is the police got in a chase the next week... -
Ignition switch upgrade
Could do that but using a low amp circuit is easter. Splice access is on steering column, short wire run. Of course everything will need to be hidden. Thieves for the most part are not very smart. Kids on a joy ride or meth users. Did see a SB stripped to the bare frame once but don't think that... -

Test Drive Etiquette
Have to read the people. Many cannot drive a stick as you found out. People today are also very disrespectful. About 20 years ago sold a Boss 302. The guy who bought it never drove it and didn't ask. I let him jack the car up and look it over all he wanted for hours. Showed all the parts... -
six cylinder won't start in the morning
Really can't guess when diagnosing. I personally had 2 new fuel pumps on the same SB that worked for about 15 miles before pooping the bed. Start with basics then move on to more obscure or expensive possibilities. Fuel, intake, compression, spark, exhaust.- fast 99

Terrible gap
Wasn't criticizing the employees. If a part isn't manufactured within adjustability not much in the way of options. Back then close was good enough. Really don't know how they could be assembled as fast as they were given the variations. Add window adjustments into the mix like hardtops. My...- fast 99

79 k10 th350, Dies when put into gear
Does sound like a fuel issue. Didn't say what carb? Check fuel pressure and volume. Its possible crud got in an idle circuit. Take idle screws out, squirt in a little carb cleaner and reinstall the screws where they were. Check vacuum leaks.- fast 99

Stalling Issue
Sounds like a fuel supply issue. When you press on the brake or use PS it adds drag on the motor. Check fuel pressure, volume and filter. What condition is the fuel? Today's pump gas starts to degrade in 3 months. It may have a HB problem due to pulsation but shouldn't cause stalling. Later...- fast 99

Internal wiper switch question
Supply and demand, just a guess. Unless you know the existing part is bad I would reuse it. Parts today are mostly offshore and poor quality. GM used is better than China new. Rock auto has it for just over $200, NAPA was way more than $300 depending on discount.- fast 99

Terrible gap
Keep in mind good panel fit at GM was a suggestion. Compared to today's vehicles it was horrible. Have to bend, shim, and accept lesser of the evils. No 2 panels were ever the same. Fenders are wider in back shims need to come out. A pry bar will work to modify the rear upper fender corner. That...- fast 99
