    Rear AC Evap core & blower motor wheels. 86 Burb

    After a heck of a lot of 'customising', we got that evap core to fit. Probably 3-5 hours in adjusting, smashing, hammering, fabricating. Definitely not direct fit. It functions great, but form wise... heck no.

    And I ordered the 35528 blower wheels listed for the 76 (and also in the FS catalogue). Thanks for the advice, hopefully this will be the solution.

    Rear AC Evap core & blower motor wheels. 86 Burb

    Does anyone know if the evap core from an 88+ will fit the earlier years? LMC list it as the same part from 78-91. Rockauto make a distinction from 88+. The 88+ part is readily available.

    Holley Retrobright 4x6 sealed beams

    Ok, been a while, but finally installed. Taken a long time, due to broken sealed beam adjsuters, shortage of time, and the Holleys being wired in a very weird way! But anyway, in and running and looking great. 4x Hi, 4x Lo. First night test later today!

    Which A/C compressor do I have?

    Its taken a little while, but I have running AC! Compressor fitted basically perfectly, with just a few tweaks needed to the lines. Replaced: Compressor, accumulator, condensor, pressure switch(es) o-rings, orifice tube, all lines extensively cleaned out and switched to R134a. Also now have...

    Radiator

    As closure, in the end I went for a Spectra CU730 from Rockauto. Fitted perfectly and works great. It is a plastic radiator (like most modern ones) so I dont expect a massive life expectancy - I am planning to go all aluminium and electirc fans when I up the power in the coming years. The rad...

    Radiator

    Hi folks, I need a new radiator, my current one has sprung a leak. Theres so much choice on RoackAuto I want to make sure I order the right one. I have an 86 C20 454 with the extra engine and trans coolers and aircon. Would anyone have a part number for the right model. Thanks!

    Which A/C compressor do I have?

    Last question on this for now, I promise :) Does anyone know which belt I will need? On Roackauto it shows the AC belts as being combi-belts that also drive the p/steering and/or fan etc. As far as I can see I need a belt that goes from the p/steering drive to the a/c.... Again thanks for...

    Which A/C compressor do I have?

    Thanks for the all the replies folks, so real good info! Ive read for hours yesterday on various websites and forums, its like going down the rabbit hole there are so many options...! I think I will try going for a DA6 compressor then. Maybe in the future a vintage air solution is on the...

    Which A/C compressor do I have?

    Im gonna do it right and do it once, so these came with an R4 originally? Is that a better pump overall?

    Which A/C compressor do I have?

    Would this be an acceptable replacement, for example? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5241684&cc=1300497&pt=17507&jsn=521

    Which A/C compressor do I have?

    Hi all, Im going to replace my A/C system in my 86 C20 454. My current compressor is bad, so im going to replace all the major components and switch to R134. Lookiing on RockAuto theres quite a selection of different pumps. Typically the model number on my current pump is illegible :( Can...

    86 Suburban 2nd row shouldber belts

    Thanks for the input. Boneyards aren't a possibility unfortunately as im in Europe. I will start mailing the belt companies, hopefully they have a solution. Interesting to know that earlier MYs were also equipped with shoulder belts optionally.... I really thought it was 87+.

    Child Seat Anchors

    I was just going to post, here in Europe they sell aftermarket kits to retrofit to most vehicles. Maybe you can order something generic looking and make it work: https://www.myparto.com/en/c136/isofix-retrofits

    86 Suburban 2nd row shouldber belts

    Hi Folks, Looking for some help with my 86 Suburban. Right now the 2nd row has 3x lap belts. I would really like to put in shoulder/3-point belts on the outside seats, so I can transport the youngest ones safely in their car seats. AFAIK 86 was the last year to be fitted with lap belts, from...

    European 86 C20 454

    Pinstriping is being taken care of, and I have my licence plates :) I've also ordered a wooden/polished steering wheel, and next week I'm looking at new wheels. I'm leaning toward either American Racing Baja or Outlaw II. Both look great.
