That car is unknown to me, but on some cars there is a resistor bank in the duct used to controll the fan speed. Check your FSM wiring digram to locate the speed controler and focous on the comon terminal wire. Hope this helps.

You might want to check out the cosmo racing springs and adjusters, under $200.00. No need to section the tubes, can use off the shelf struts and they ride nice so far on mine. If the springs wear out I can replace them through coleman racing.

Man, I spent the whole day behind the wheel Sunday, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The body roll is almost non existant in normal to sportie cornering, still noticable in really hard curves, but much better. The ride is harder but not harsh. There is almost no front end drive under braking. I couldnt really beat the car as hard as I wanted to, as the rear tires still rub on big bumps, but the body roll tire rub in turns is gone. I can't waite to do the rears this weekend. The install was not hard at all, actually easier than just replacing the struts. No spring compression necessary to reassemble the strut, and I was pleased/lucky that all the bushings and ball joints were tight and in excellent condition. (As it should be on a low milage car) I'll fill in the blanks and do some before and after pics once the back end is done and the ride height is adjusted next week. All I can say is, so far I am impressed.

I put the cozmo coilovers and struts on the front today. I set everything to stock ride height till I get a feel for the travle and stiffness of the new parts. Won't get to the back till next week, no time. I must say, I am very impressed with the quality of the parts, both fit and finish. I left the spring perches on for now so I can change the springs if I don't like the cozmo stuff. So it's off for a test drive, I will report back later.

What Arne said. Took mine to a local lock smith, 2 hours and $25.00 and it was all better with 2 new keys.

Could be the wrong parts. could be the right parts and depending on exactly how loose you might get away with the Loctite bearing/ bushing setter compound. You will have to take accurate measurements and buy the rite compound for your gap, remember to devide the difference by two, its a circle in a circle.

A tape measure wont cut it for these types of dimensions, get a cheap set of calipers (at least) at sears or horbor freight and take some measurements. Are both yolks (all 4 pcs) loose like that or just one?

The new parts should be press fit, check your yolks for roundness and size to see if they are out of round.

Soooooooo, you didn't have to press the old U-joint apart to remove it from the DS? Did you buy the replacement based on a P/N on the old joint or by cross reference to the car?

Take your clutch apart and see whats wrong with it, just because it locked up doesn't make it un rebuildable.

Looks like you will have a good bit of work to prep for a 1000 mile run. Good luck and we are here for you.

Sounds like the cam is running dry, better pop the valve cover and check out the oiler.

Thanks Bonzi, thats perfect, just what I needed to see.

Ok I made the tool described in the other threads, but I'm having a heck of a time getting the damn thing open. Could I get one of you fine people to post a pic of the 73 style latch where the cable connects so I can visualize my target. It would be a great help.

My uncles names are Neal & Bob.

When you can drive all the way across the country on your spere tire.

Thats what I paid for my car, WTF!

aaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahhaahhahahhahahahahahha, rotflmao

Older women are easier as well, and easier to service, but nowhere near as fun to tinker with.

Perhaps a little too far gone to bring back from the brink? Sad..... Thats the understatement of the year, doesn't even look like a $400 parts car.

Capitalization and punctuation. Question; What are you doing? Answer 1; Helping my Uncle Jack, off his horse. Answer 2; helping my uncle jack off his horse. Yes, its that important when trying to discribe the issue with your car.

You know you are driving an old car when EVERYTHING on the car is user servicable. Gotta love those old Z's!

If the boar isn't pitted you can rebuild the cylinder on the car for about $10.00 in about 10 minuts. If it needs to be honed it takes a little longer but the parts are still under $25.00 with the hone stones.

Just what I said. Broke the hood release cable. I have to go out of town for a few days and don't have time for a broad search. How the heck do you get under the hood to fix this? Taking off the hindges dosen't look like the answer. Ok McGuivers, what flavor bubblegum do I need to fix this mess?

I wanna say 72......................................................72.........................................there, I said it.
