    Air conditioning

    Is it possible the lines are reversed at the condenser, like happens on the GMT400 trucks? My 292 L6 system is so different from a V8, I don't recall if reversal is possible.

    What is this and what does it do?

    Appears to be a vacuum switching solenoid that is missing a vacuum line.

    What is this and what does it do?

    I'm guessing we are looking at an Electronic Spark Control (knock) module. This one happens to be TBI.

    Fm radio not working

    The AM/FM slide switch is very prone to getting electrically 'dirty' on my '84 w/cassette unit. I occasionally have needed to slide / click it back and forth multiple times when it hasn't been used in a long time.

    Poll -Would doing a LS swap in a CLEAN 1987 V10 INCREASE to DECREASE VALUE?

    DO IT:cheers: The rest of the vehicle is still attached to the L86, so just another family truckster. I just had no idea how they screamed!

    Still have my old ones (really need to sell the Caprice) https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/show-your-daily-driver.31126/ but I've had a new one for going on a year. Not at all an SUV person, but this (2019, 17K miles) is handy with my two spinal surgeries this year. The 6.2L screams and gets...

    Poll -Would doing a LS swap in a CLEAN 1987 V10 INCREASE to DECREASE VALUE?

    As much as I hate to say it, my Gen 1 seems like a flat head Ford after owning an L86 (LT, 6.2L). I need to post a pic as my daily driver.

    Factory AC compressor hose connection

    I've got a new hose set and a very late Dephi service compressor. I had a pic where you could see the washer colors, but I can't seem to find it. I want to say I needed a yellow and green. Getting the manifold flat against the compressor is the object of this exercise.

    Factory AC compressor hose connection

    You may need the crackhead AC Delco sealing washer chart, if you have a newer hose set or a compressor without the relief for the big o-rings (which were universal for decades).

    Name this part

    The size and bracket look like a cruise control module to me. I'm used to them being black, but I can't say I know what a 6.2L glow plug controller looks like.

    Does it have cruise control?

    Another AC Thread: Which compressor??

    Case corrosion makes the V5s leak at the body o-rings too. They didn't have such and issue with this when painted.

    Another AC Thread: Which compressor??

    The A6 and R4 (which is still not a good compressor) can both be retrofitted (you pull out the 'bird cage', if it has a ceramic seal) to the newer, double lip seal. Only way I have seen them not sling oil. I've done quite a few. The same seal also fits the V5 compressor, which didn't get this...

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    My Dad and I have found the 90s vintage GM port fuel injectors are done right around 200K miles (though the Multi-Tec 1 injectors can be even worse). The wife's '96 Century (we bought new) is now at 202K, but still running well. Got a 2 mile junkyard walk in yesterday and found an obviously...

    Looking at 92 Yukon for my son

    "It turns on, but the volume/tuner buttons don’t do anything" Most likely the CDM (Control Data Module, i.e. tuner and amp) above the gas pedal. All the weird GM radios used this '88-'95, and it was mounted to the top of some standard 1.5 DIN chassis) GM finally had these perfected and reliable...

    Looking at a 1983 GMC w/ a cadillac 500 motor

    Standard for DeVilles from '75 - '76, but available eariler, IIRC. Be aware that the Cadillac 368, 425, 472 and 500 are all the same engine family. It could be easy for someone to mistake (knowingly and unknowingly) a smaller displacement for a 500, especially after a swap.

    Dual carburetors on 250 I-6?

    The Chevy 6 (194,230,250,292) is a terrible flowing head (non-integral) on the intake side by design. It has only 4 intake ports, with boss' in the middle of 2 of them that the head bolts pass through. There are 'lump port' kits that look a lot like the floor of the V6 intake ports shown above...

    4th small hole in late model clusters?

    Someone posted a pic of a later one with a volt (battery) symbol in one, there may have been others in the hole too. I believe it was an the electronic speedo version. Not sure what it would take to search for it.

    Great! Glad to see them get some love.

    Looking into a new compact car.

    That appeared early in the life of GDI, but it doesn't appear to be the complete fix either. IIRC, some are even running MPFI and GDI because of the Low Speed Detonation issue that can destroy engines with GDI.. The engine can operate in either mode or combinations, just like valve timing...
