What have you done to your square lately??

[Camar068]

Ran wiring for the winch. Probably make a "Y" to run a pump to a 30 gallon tank for fresh water. All for deer season.

Gotta say I've never heard of a IM acting flaky. Either they worked or, they didn't.

Years ago I had an 87 Cougar do a similar thing. First time I've had a HEI do this too.

I replaced my cheapo ignition module and put a delco one in. Took the cheapo one and threw it in the glove box.

The one I took out was an Accel, came with the distributor. I replaced it with an AC Delco.

Can you guys hear that?...

That's the sound of my truck running
It was the stupid ignition module.

I changed mine, kept it, and have a new one in the glove box.

One thing I can say for certain, there is not substitute for a GM ignition module.

So I got the connector switch wired in for drivers power window. Then old regulator is toast. New regulator was ordered on a whim because it was only $40 but it does not line up directly to the power motor mounts. I was looking in to slotting mount holes but now think I will attempt to return the aftermarket regulator to LMC and try a OEM regulator from Classic Industries and hope it ligns up correctly. I don't want to do this again in a month. I am betting on the original specs for the OEM actually lining up. Anyone have knowledge of OEM replacement regulators? I have only worked with my trucks original, that now does not work. Oh and of course the re-pop that is not made quite right.

Man that’s frustrating.

I have some power doors but they're up at work. My doors are completely shot, but I kept them because they had all the power window stuff. I'd be glad to take pics or measurements for you but I won't be back there until Tuesday.

And while I'm posting I may as well vent a new frustration... I changed my fuel pump hoping that was my stalling issue, used a cheap, $30 pump from a Parts Plus store. Now my fuel pressure is only 3 psi . I'm going to drive it today because I'm lazy and I'm curious how it'll respond to that, but I'll be putting my old Carter M6626 fuel pump back on it. Good grief these new parts are junk.

Installed the new fog lights last weekend but this is the first time I've drove it at night to do a test run around the block. They're really Brite as I just had the parking lights on too. I was worried that they might fog up but we've had rain and no fogging yet. These are a good deal for the money.

Had the wife put a new seat cover on the 2 tones front seat. Had tried to order from Jegs but even though they state the color is charcoal, it's really gray and does not match the door panels and carpet.. This came from USA1

So it looks like LMC sent me a regulator for 77-81 not 82-87. I am calling customer service and sending back. Should I have them exchange and send the correct piece or order one from elsewhere that is OER and just get my money back from LMC? LMC does not claim OER.

I added a hood ornament! It’s a NHRA Wally for Street Champion 2024. I think I will take it in the house.

I don’t know if LMC quality is good these days but if it’s average at best it’s probably better than OER. Which is a shame because the guys at Classic Industries/OER are typically more helpful than LMC.
